Everything To Me is not bad at all imo. And far better than ANY Westlife song ever.

I thought this could scrape #10, considering it had a noticeable boost following his This Morning performance.

He has sold approximately 50 million albums worldwide, while receiving 17 Grammy Awards for his musical work, and numerous additional nominations. Consistently ranked as one of the greatest rappers of all-time, he was ranked number one by MTV in their list of The Greatest MCs of All-Time in 2006. Three of his albums, Reasonable Doubt (1996), The Blueprint (2001) and The Black Album (2003), are considered landmarks in the genre with all of them featured in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Ugh! One of my least favourites in this week's chart. That sample is really annoying too. <_<

Love this song :wub: The radio edit always takes me back a bit when it skips the first part so quickly. :lol:

They had a few decent singles. I'll get lynched for this but the following are 8/10 or above for me: Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, World Of Our Own, You Raise Me Up, Against All Odds, What Makes A Man, Hey Whatever, When You're Looking Like That :ph34r:

Biography

Producer Shahid Khan, aka Naughty Boy, pursued music seriously after he dropped out of university and worked a number of unsatisfying jobs. He debuted in 2006 with the single "Phat Beach (I'll Be Ready)," but his first major work was his songwriting and production for Chipmunk's "Diamond Rings," a playful ska-rooted single that featured a pre-fame Emeli Sandé and reached the Top Ten in his native U.K. in 2009. The next year was bigger, highlighted by productions for Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, and Wiley (the Top Ten "Never Be Your Woman"), all of which involved Sandé. Khan then worked extensively on Sandé's breakthrough 2012 album Our Version of Events. That October, he released the solo single "Wonder," with Sandé returning the favor as the song's lead vocalist and co-songwriter. "La La La," featuring Sam Smith, was released in May 2013 and topped the U.K. chart, which set the stage for Hotel Cabana, Khan's debut album for Virgin. - iTunes

Shane should have gono solo ages ago.

This is actually starting to grow on me. No doubt X Factor overexposure will make me want to retract that statement. :lol:

They had a few decent singles. I'll get lynched for this but the following are 8/10 or above for me: Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, World Of Our Own, You Raise Me Up, Against All Odds, What Makes A Man, Hey Whatever, When You're Looking Like That :ph34r:

 

To be fair, MOST of those tracks ARE pretty alright. The problem is that isn't even near half their discography :(

 

I remember hearing and enjoying Hey Whatever and wondering if they were actually progressing as a group. And then the next single was Mandy :drama:

Surprisingly Shane's song is growing on me. Not bad tbh.

Edited September 1, 201312 yr by Daniel Bryan

I quite like the instrumental to this with all those violins(?). Not a huge fan of the chorus though and definitely his weakest single yet.

Biography

Dancehall superstar Sean Paul began scoring hit singles in Jamaica in 1996 and steadily attracted international attention thereafter, eventually breaking into the pop mainstream in 2002 with Dutty Rock. Born Sean Paul Henriques on January 8, 1973, the multi-ethnic Paul (his parents had Portuguese, Chinese, and Jamaican forebears) grew up comfortably in St. Andrew, Jamaica, his mother a renowned painter. He was a skilled athlete, excelling in swimming and especially water polo, playing for the Jamaican national team in the latter. Although his education was enough to land him a prosperous career, dancehall music remained Paul's first love, particularly crafting rhythm tracks. He became a DJ after he began writing his own songs, patterning his style largely after Super Cat and finding a mentor in Don Yute; he also found contacts in several members of the reggae-pop band Third World in 1993, which helped open up business connections.

 

Paul released his debut single, "Baby Girl," with producer Jeremy Harding in 1996; it proved a significant success, leading to further Jamaican hits like "Nah Get No Bly (One More Try)," "Deport Them," "Excite Me," "Infiltrate," and "Hackle Mi." In 1999, Sean Paul started to make inroads to American audiences; he was first commissioned to collaborate with fellow dancehall hitmaker Mr. Vegas on a production for rapper DMX; titled "Here Comes the Boom," the song was included in director Hype Williams' film Belly. Also that year, Paul scored a Top Ten hit on the Billboard rap charts with "Hot Gal Today." Unfortunately, Paul had a very public falling out with Mr. Vegas over the packaging of the latter's remix of "Hot Gal Today"; still, it didn't slow Paul's career momentum, as he played the Summer Jam 2000 in New York City, the center of his American popularity.

 

That fall, Paul released his first album on VP Records; the sprawling Stage One collected many of Paul's previous hit singles and compilation cuts, plus a few brand-new tracks. Dutty Rock (2002) and The Trinity (2005) were extremely successful. Both albums peaked in the Top Ten of the album chart and featured a handful of mainstream smashes. His 2009 release Imperial Blaze featured the singles "So Fine" and "Hold My Hand," the latter a duet with Keri Hilson. The loose Odyssey Mixtape dropped in 2011 and was followed a year later by Tomahawk Technique, a more pop and dance-oriented album with production from the likes of Stargate, DJ Ammo, and Benny Blanco. - iTunes

'Lifted' is actually slightly growing on me now, it is still just a very weak version of 'Heaven' but there are bits of it I enjoy. 5th best song Emeli has done I think (after 'Heaven', 'Diamonds Rings', 'Never Be Your Woman' and 'Beneath Your Beautiful' in that order) despite how critical I've been of it in previous weeks. Although '5th best Emeli Sandé song' is really not an achievement.

 

DRAKE TOP 10 :cheer:

Oh wait this means Blurred Lines still top 10. :drama:
