Great to see this still hanging around! They should reduce it to 59p to keep it going through next week too!

Rihanna >>>> Emeli, but both are awesome. :wub:

 

They've got a collaboration on Rihanna's next album, so brace yourselves! :lol:

Who Lawson?! :lol:

I think it was low Top 40 on iTunes earlier, although I'm not sure if they had a high second version in the Top 200. So it could have a big fall this week, but even so it will beat the amount of weeks in the Top 40 of their other singles, and rightly so!

TBH out of the boybands I really like Lawson :o

I might say, I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned Wonder's drop this week. It's not deserved either. :(

 

:D for Never Tear Us Apart, it's really grown on me over the past few weeks.

 

As for Calvin Harris, I need to look past the logic for "it's good because the beat is good" on the subject of his songs. I need to judge whether the song is good or not by its musical merits. It worked for Sweet Nothing and it could work for Drinking From The Bottle as well. We'll see.

 

I quite like Standing In The Dark - it's like a boyband version of OneRepublic's Stop And Stare! :o

 

I want to like Beauty And The Beat, but I just can't for some reason. :(

 

That's my review of the chart so far. :lol:

TBH out of the boybands I really like Lawson :o

Someone made a really good point on DS i think with regards to Union J (new boyband in X Factor). There's literally on two boy bands doing big things around the world (1D and TW), and yet people still complain that there's too many :lol:

 

 

This song would have been up there with ALAYLM if Nicki's verse was stronger :( She's capable of so much better!

 

I find it the best bit, although that is probably by default! :P

 

Boyfriend > Beauty and a Beat >>>>>>>> As Long As You Love Me

 

I don't particularly rate these songs very high at all though.

Yeah Nicki's verse is still the best bit of the song, but she's usually perfect as a feature artist.

 

ALAYLM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BATB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> B

Edited November 4, 201213 yr by HausofKubrick

Fun fact - Hall of Fame has the same chord progression as She Doesn't Mind by Sean Paul!

Yeah Nicki's verse is still the best bit of the song, but she's usually perfect as a feature artist.

 

ALAYLM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BATB >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> B

 

I quite like the "gotta keep an I out for Selena" bit. But yeah, she is usually brilliant when she is a featured artist.

Someone made a really good point on DS i think with regards to Union J (new boyband in X Factor). There's literally on two boy bands doing big things around the world (1D and TW), and yet people still complain that there's too many :lol:

I'm not complaining actually :heehee:

 

But true there aren't that many :D There's still JLS, McFly. Actually in every (let's say) era there are only 3-5 boybands but once they get older, they are starting to be irrelevant and new younger boybands are coming. :)
