This was literally out of the iTunes top 100 within a week of leaving #1 - it's done what everyone thought Rage Against The Machine would do and without even a top 10 re-entry to show for it.

See It In A Boy's Eyes, etc. :wub:

 

Someone totally needs to sing this on XFactor so it can resurface :heart:

Wouldn't dare :P

Was that an accidental pun?! :o

I forgot about that song! :o

 

:wub:

 

It's easily one of my favourites by her, one I go back to every now and then. It has aged really well, actually!

Agreed, it must happen. :wub:

Good to see this becoming somewhat of an enduring hit even with the Paralympics boost now gone. Great song.

Was that an accidental pun?! :o

 

lol. Total tune though (although I did prefer Feel Good and Dirty Harry over it).

The Paralympics feels so long ago, this has stuck around really well considering. Not usually my sort of thing, but this is really good.

Didn't 'See It In A Boy's Eyes' only get to #7 originally? I'm surprised no one has sung it on X Factor over the years. But then most songs from 2004 get forgotten when it comes to that show.

The first line of this sounds like "We should pop more champagne biscuit than we did last year". :lol: This song has actually grown on me this past week, not as good as Young but it's nice to hear some urban in the charts.

I listened to the un-remixed Spectrum the other day and it was quite underwhelming after becoming accustomed to the remix. I'm really looking forward to 'Sweet Nothing', I couldn't get it out of my head at all yesterday.

So glad this had 'flopped'. 2/3 years ago it would have been number 1 :(

Belated 'YES' at this failing to go top 10, certainly one of the most half arsed effort for a 'song' I've heard this year.

See It In A Boy's Eyes, etc. :wub:

 

This made #1 in my personal chart at the time :heart: her best hit to date.

I was actually quite surprised at how similar it was to the remix tbh.

 

Live It Up and Clique both getting 2 weeks in the top 40!!!! :w00t: Who would've thought. :lol:

THIS. Sadly I could see it being a hit in the US.

Nope. An urban song hasn't gone top 10 in the US since like February. :lol:
