September 22, 201313 yr You Make Me has really grown on me since I first heard it. The vocals are still quite offputting and it does seem to scream 'album track', but the production is great.
September 22, 201313 yr I've seen a couple of people use it before, but what does *.* mean in this context (I only remember if from MS-DOS days meeaning "all files and directories"!) I use it as in 'WOW' but I don't know if that's actually what it means. :lol:
September 22, 201313 yr Shame Katie Melua couldn't get top 5, but a top 10 album is still good! :wub:
September 22, 201313 yr Boo at OneRepublic knocking You Make Me down a place from the midweeks :angry: Top 5 for his second single is still amazing though. Gotta love Avicii :wub: Damn I hoped Avicii could have had another number 4 just for his singles history alone to go 4-4-1-1-4
September 22, 201313 yr Jessie J screeching, sorry singing away there...let me know when she's finished strangling that cat :lol:

September 22, 201313 yr Counting Stars is growing on me, but it's still not really anything special. :(
September 22, 201313 yr Author 4 (from 2) OneRepublic - Counting Stars [D] http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N2PxHFr4L._AA160_.jpg Chart Run: 43-30-20-17-13-2-4 [7 wks] Release Date: 22-03-2013 Format: download only track Label: polydor associated labels Sales: 100k+ Video here: hT_nvWreIhg Biography Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster. Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone. Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. "All the Right Moves," the album's lead single, was released to radio that same month, while the entire album followed in November. In 2013, OneRepublic returned with its third studio album, Native, featuring the singles, "Feel Again" and "If I Lose Myself."

September 22, 201313 yr Ugh at Jessie & Derulo being higher than One Rep. The british public need their heads examined :(
September 22, 201313 yr Oh, I was certain Jessie was going to end up lower than #3 - booooo. :arrr: 'You Make Me' is growing, still cannot believe it's done this well though, does not sound like a top 20 hit let alone a top 5 and that's reflected in every other country!
September 22, 201313 yr Really surprised to see how Counting Stars is doing in the chart, and its climbing back up on iTunes, I do wonder if they can get to #1 at some point when there is a weak week.
