Is Emeli Sande the new Adele? :o

If BYB got to #1 even though it's the SIXTH single from an album then surely that's some sort of record??

It's amazing to think the record company thought this was only good enough to be the sixth single. It could end up being Labrinth's most successful single to date although 'Earthquake' might take some beating.

I didn't think much of Labrinth and Emeli's performance, but I do like the song. If it stops JLS getting another #1 single, I'm all for "Beneath Your Beautiful" being a surprise #1 :D

Indeed! After 'Treatment' smashed it and peaked at #55 i never thought the next single from the album could be heading for #1 - Looks like his album is going to have a huge climb this week too as its moved to #10 and #24 on iTunes!

Id love Emeli and Labrinth to be the surprise number 1 this week,

'I Can't Make You Love Me' is back on the rise in all versions due to Kye's 'save me' performance.

 

92. I Can't Make You Love Me (Live) - ADELE

127. I Can't Make You Love Me - George Michael

244. I Can't Make You Love Me / Nick of Time - Bon Iver

272. I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt

 

And MK1's 'save me' performance:

 

137. The Man Who Can't Be Moved - The Script

 

'Beneath Your Beautiful' has a third version at #256 and JLS have a second version at #494.

It's amazing to think the record company thought this was only good enough to be the sixth single.

 

I really doubt that's the case - far more likely they were just saving it so it could get an X Factor performance and that's clearly worked. 'Express Yourself' and 'Treatment' were just to keep his name around in the charts (the latter kind of fell flat but 'Express Yourself' served its purpose), I think they knew 'Beneath Your Beautiful' would be a lot bigger. See also Jessie J with 'Who You Are'.

Would love Adele's version to re-peak - Deserves to chart higher than #37 officially.

I had a feeling this would happen Emeli Sande and Labrinth are two of the biggest Uk pop stars atm so I knew it would do well.

Brilliant for BYB. I've always enjoyed it, but the performance made me realise how brilliant it is :wub:

 

Also good to see JLS not doing too brilliantly, although top 10 is still an achievement!

2. Beneath Your Beautiful (featuring. Emeli Sande) - Labrinth

It's amazing to think the record company thought this was only good enough to be the sixth single. It could end up being Labrinth's most successful single to date although 'Earthquake' might take some beating.

 

Yes - I heard on the grapevine this was the plan from the beginning, and it's working wonders. Though it'll probably help Emeli's re-release more than Labrinth's album. Quite amusing she's stolen the song for her album and released it the day after doing it on X Factor, very crafty ;)

Beneath Your Beautiful #2 - Shock #1 please! :cheer:

WTF?????????????? No impact for jls at all but emeli up like 53587% and from 80 to 2 combined??? I dont get it, sorry.

Beneath your beautiful won't keep this up it has no radio or TV airplay, so it will probably start falling by Tuesday but still it's a magnificent achievement to get to #2 off the back of one performance

It's not that difficult to understand :lol: People have obviously connected more with the Labrinth song, and the fact it hasn't been on radio/tv for months mean that the performance has made a lot of people discover the song for perhaps the first time.

WHOAAA at Beneath Your Beautiful, gorgeous song but it was really dying on iTunes in the past week for no apparent reason, despite rising airplay. Surprised this performance turned things round so much :o

I really need to see this performance on YouTube, solely to see the fuss over this track zooming up so much.

That's a good point. 'Treatment' I suppose was more like a buzz single rather than an official single (a baffling choice but still). Syco clearly know how to market their acts (most of the time) so kudos to them. I hadn't really given the song much attention prior to tonight but 'Beneath Your Beautiful' is a lovely song. I still adore 'Wonder' though that little bit more.
