Same here! Still sounds great! :wub:

Olly Murs - Right Place Right Time to please sneak into the top 40 and not do a Busy (#45).

I'm not really a big Olly Murs fan, but I totally like this song :D

Same here, at first I was disappointed that he decided to replace Hey You Beautiful with Right Place Right Time as the fourth single, but I've come around now and love it. :heart:

Macklemore :cheer:

One of Bastille and Olly Murs has missed out then - as much as I like 'Right Place Right Time' I really hope it's Bastille who have held on to get a post-album top 40 hit (and deservedly outpeaking 'Laura Palmer').

I hope Bastille have made it as well (though I do like the new Olly).

I sadly do think it's Olly that's missed it, due to Bastille being higher in the midweeks and being at a higher position on iTunes this week. Would've loved both to enter, I guess being pushed out by 59p songs. :(

And they just played Bastille's track, in the last 15 mins.

Yawn. Bastille #41 no doubt

Biography

Kanye Omari West (/ˈkɑːnjeɪ/; born June 8, 1977) is an American hip hop musician, songwriter, record producer, film director, and fashion designer.

 

West first gained prominence as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records; he achieved recognition for his work on rapper Jay-Z's The Blueprint (2001), as well as hit singles for musical artists including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson. His style of production originally used high-pitched vocal samples from soul songs incorporated with his own drums and instruments. He later broadened his influences to include '70s R&B, baroque pop, trip hop, arena rock, folk, alternative, electronica, synthpop, industrial, and classical music.

 

West was raised in a middle-class household in Chicago, Illinois and began rapping in the third grade, becoming involved in the city's hip hop scene. West attended art school for one semester before dropping out to pursue music entirely in the late 1990s. Although his real desire was to become a rapper, record executives did not take West seriously, viewing him as a producer first and foremost. After being signed to Roc-A-Fella in 2002, West released his debut album The College Dropout in 2004 to commercial and critical acclaim. The baroque-inspired Late Registration followed in 2005, and Graduation in 2007. West switched rapping for singing on his dark 2008 effort 808's & Heartbreak, and embraced maximalism on 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Following several collaborations, West released his sixth album, Yeezus, in 2013.

 

West is one of the best-selling and among the most awarded artists in popular music. Several of his studio albums, most prominently Late Registration and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, have been ranked by music critics as among the greatest records of all-time. West's background and style, upon his debut, deviated from the then-dominant "gangster" persona in hip hop, but he would later alter the genre stylistically as rappers adopted his alternative aesthetic. An outspoken and controversial celebrity, West has often been the source of incidents at award shows, and his dapper and flamboyant fashion sense has also attracted media attention and set West apart from other rappers. West runs his own record label, GOOD Music, has directed several short films, and is also a fashion designer. - Wikipedia

GOLD DIGGER :wub: :wub: :wub: Classic. Such a good start to the top 40!

 

BRB getting the chart run for this.

I wish she'd just stop using the adjective "insane" to refer to anything exceessively god or bad.

Gold Digger :wub:

 

Great choice for a 59p song.

I used to love Gold Digger back in 2005 when I was 19 & used to go out clubbing every weekend. Good to know it's passed the test of time & it's still loved today.

Wow, great song :D

 

No Bastille either then?! :(

Brilliant start with this classic :wub:

 

Bound 2 to follow it up now in the coming weeks...
