February 15, 201313 yr So much for guitar music "being back", between Foals and The Courteneers. Though I suppose Jake Bugg is doing well Foals are doing well though, and My Number looking to debut around #21-25 is a great result for them. Like Eric and Griff said, a guitar music revival doesn't happen overnight (we now just have to hope that it actually DOES happen!)
February 15, 201313 yr thrift shop is therefore on 51.8 k by my calculations My calculation says differently : 55.6.k * 1.26 = 70k...
February 15, 201313 yr How did 'Change Your Life' end up that low? :huh: Mostly thanks to Gabrielle Aplin and Baauer overtaking and benefitting from a low sales week at the higher regions of the chart (especially when compared to this time last year). Also Aplin had EP and CD sales, whilst Baauer has two versions both climbing up iTunes. Little Mix have neither - just cherry pickings from the album afaik.
February 15, 201313 yr (we now just have to hope that it actually DOES happen!) No thanks! Let's go mid-2010s RnB domination.
February 15, 201313 yr (we now just have to hope that it actually DOES happen!) YES YES YES YES! :w00t: Let's also hope that Everything Everything and Bastille are the biggest bands in the world! :wub:
February 15, 201313 yr No thanks! Let's go mid-2010s RnB domination. I've personally never cared alot about that genre, with a few exceptions (and in hindsight, 2010 felt like a VERY monotonous year of chart music for me) YES YES YES YES! :w00t: Let's also hope that Everything Everything and Bastille are the biggest bands in the world! :wub: In my world, they already ARE :D
February 15, 201313 yr In my world, they already ARE :D Same here (well Everything Everything at least). And who needs anyone else's worlds but mine and yours really!
February 15, 201313 yr Same here (well Everything Everything at least). And who needs anyone else's worlds but mine and yours really! Too true, my dear Brayden. No1elsecomparestous :heart:

Like Eric and Griff said, a guitar music revival doesn't happen overnight (we now just have to hope that it actually DOES happen!) I'm pretty certain it will happen. I think we can already see it starting to happen, especially in the US, but not so much in the UK (but we'll follow them eventually I think). No thanks! Let's go mid-2010s RnB domination. I would like that to happen. I don't think it will though, but I think urban music in general will probably do better in the charts now. If Harlem Shake is really huge, then radio stations will probably start playlisting other trap songs, which will mean people like T.I., Kanye West, Young Jeezy, etc. would do better in the charts. And Thrift Shop's success might help the more "old-school"-sounding hip hop songs have a chance at chart success, rather than these songs being limited just to clubs and urban radio.

February 16, 201313 yr If guitar music makes a comeback, it won't happen in the space of a few weeks, it'll probably gradually happen over the space of a few years. Exactly like the last big guitar era started with the strokes in 2001 and it took the record companies until 2006 to totally fill the market with s4girls and Hoosiers type bands!!
