It's still a very famous song though that is often on the radio and used on TV programmes so trickle sales of maybe 500 or so a week could mean its in with a shot.

I really doubt it. I agree with Gezza - 800k max.

Olly Murs domination. :lol: I've really liked all his singles he's put out so far bar 'Troublemaker'. His first era was amazing though, 'Please Don't Let Me Go', 'Thinking Of You' were amazing. :wub: (I'm not even an Olly loon...)

39 Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

 

What a pleasant surprise!!! I don't like watching Tv because it's a waste of time but one time did something good!!! I love this song!!!

Biography

In similar company with new-school French progressive dance artists such as Motorbass, Air, Cassius, and Dimitri from Paris, Parisian duo Daft Punk quickly rose to acclaim by adapting a love for first-wave acid house and techno to their younger roots in pop, indie rock, and hip-hop. The combined talents of DJs Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the pair's first projects together included Darling, a voiceless indie cover band; their current recording name derives from a review in U.K. music weekly Melody Maker of a compilation tape Darling were featured on, released by Krautrock revivalists Stereolab (their lo-fi D.I.Y. cover of a Beach Boys song was derided as "daft punk"). Subsequently ditching the almost inevitable creative cul-de-sac of rock for the more appealing rush of the dancefloor, the pair released their debut single, "The New Wave," in 1993 on the celebrated Soma label. Instantly hailed by the dance music press as the work of a new breed of house innovators, the single was followed by "Da Funk," the band's first true hit (the record sold 30,000 copies worldwide and saw thorough rinsings by everyone from Kris Needs to the Chemical Brothers).

 

Although the group had only released a trio of singles ("The New Wave" and "Da Funk," as well as the 1996 limited pressing of "Musique"), in early 1996 Daft Punk were the subject of a minor bidding war. The group eventually signed with Virgin, with its first long-player, Homework, appearing early the following year (a brief preview of the album, "Musique," was also featured on the Virgin compilation Wipeout XL next to tracks from Photek, Future Sound of London, the Chemical Brothers, and Source Direct). As with the earlier singles, the group's sound is a brazen, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive house, funk, electro, and techno, with sprinklings of hip-hop-styled breakbeats and excessive, crowd-firing samples similar to other anthemic dance-fusion acts such as the Chemical Brothers and Monkey Mafia. In addition to his role in Daft Punk, Bangalter operates the Roulé label and has recorded under his own name (the underground smash "Trax on da Rocks") as well as Stardust (the huge club/commercial hit "Music Sounds Better with You").

 

After four long years of fans eagerly awaiting a follow-up to their brilliant debut, Daft Punk finally issued Discovery in March 2001. The live record Alive 1997 followed at the end of the year, and a by-now predictable four-year wait preceded the release of Human After All in early 2005. One year later, Daft Punk released a compilation, Musique, Vol. 1: 1993-2005, and in 2007 their second live record, Alive 2007, arrived. The album and its single "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" won Grammy Awards early in 2009; shortly after, it was announced that the duo would compose the soundtrack to Tron: Legacy, the sequel to the 1982 classic sci-fi film Tron. Daft Punk's music for the movie was released in November 2010, shortly before the film — which featured the group in a cameo — arrived in theaters. Early in 2013, Daft Punk announced that they planned to have a new album released by May of that year. That March, the duo announced the album's title, Random Access Memories, and launched an extensive press campaign that featured snippets of the album's lead single, "Get Lucky," and interviews with some of their collaborators, which included Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, Giorgio Moroder, and Panda Bear. The single was officially released in April, and Random Access Memories arrived in May.

I wonder how much longer this will stay Top 40 for? Hope Lose Yourself To Dance can somehow become a hit. Radio airplay is starting to pick up a bit now.
Get Lucky this low already WOT? :( It's still done amazingly well, but I don't want it to leave the top 40 :snif:
It annoys me how Get Lucky and Blurred Lines have even got close to the sales of 'Someone Like You'

Hi I'm kinda back from my Starship-induced scramble earlier hooray. I actually haven't prepared the chart run for 'Listen' either so that better be in the top 30 or the 31-40 recap is gonna be late!

 

Since I last posted: woop for Bastille climbing again and Olly making the top 40, like I said I thought they had both peaked last week but very glad to be wrong. Both could still climb further based on iTunes as well. 'Right Place Right Time' is far from Olly's best but didn't deserve to miss the top 40. 'Gold Digger' climbing a bit more is great news as well but he looked certain for top 30 earlier in the week and just dropped loads over the week even though he remained 59p, so #36 is a tad disappointing.

Naughty Boy/Tanika's version of Get Lucky >>>>

That is a fab version, but there is no real comparison with the original!

 

Your member title - great song, btw :D I love Twintapes.

No.35 Olly Murs Right Place Right Time

 

I like the verses but not so much the chorus..It's quite mediocre as result.
