Really nice to hear the Phonics in the top 40 again - Handbags & Gladrags, Dakota & (controversially) Have a Nice Day are all wonderful.

This is rather nice actually, probably their best song since Dakota. And Kelly Jones is a dude.

First time hearing 'Indian Summer' now. Will be my first time hearing 'Chocolate' later too, but sadly I have already heard 'Ready Or Not'.

You'd better like Chocolate!

If this was held back before release would it have charted in the top 20?

Quite a cool chart history, so many #3-5s but no other positions in the top 10 apart from 'Dakota' going to #1 (since when they've not gone back to the top 10).

 

'Indian Summer' is quite decent on first listen, Kelly is starting to sound a little bit old now though. EDIT: Which is odd, as he's only 38.

 

8 place climb for Drake :wub: That longevity!

:wub: their best song in an age. Glad it made top 30.

*agrees* :P

 

 

Very glad to tune in just in time to hear the phonics enter! Breath of fresh air in the charts. Now, people, get Dido top 40!

Laura Mvula earning a second week inside the T40, and actually climbing?! Best chart news of the week - I had a bad feeling it'd dropped out after it didn't show in the mids. Here's hoping for a third.

I'm beginning to love this song now. :wub:

Oh no! Drake & Dizzie in a row. My poor ears. :(

Drake and Dizzee in a row. O lawd.

LOL at Have a Nice Day only peaking at 5, it was massive at radio - youd have thought it was no1. If they hadnt have released a modern classic that is Dakota in 2005 radio 1 would have dropped them before 2005 imo!!

Drake and Dizzee in a row. HELL YEAH. :wub:

Drake jumped a fair bit, might buy it as its growing wonderfully on me!!

Can't believe the success Bassline Junkie has had. Doesn't at all sound like a song which would be a hit.

Now, I'm a fan of Mumford & Sons but I really don't like this song. :(
