Do I Wanna Know? :wub:

 

Shame this didn't stay top 20 this week but exceeded all expectations on the whole nevertheless. ^_^

URGH at The Wanted polluting the chart again. :nocheer:

 

'Do I Wanna Know?' :wub:

I wondered the whole week why this has climbed back (if it was answered somewhere, I must have missed it, sorry).

 

 

Surprise Surprise TV show

 

Rizzle Kicks are on tonight, so they will bounce up next week.

This was performed on 'Surprise Surprise' which is apparently a classic revived show. Haven't ever heard of it personally but that's probably just because I'm ignorant to television.

Was big in the 80s/early 90s - basically a Cilla Black vehicle. Was popular, but awful (imo).

Shame this didn't stay Top 20, but I'm glad it hasn't free fallen down after the album release like I was dreading. Same with WYOCWYH.

The Wanted's new song really doesn't sound like a hit at all - it's kind of okay in the same way as pretty much all their songs since 'Chasing The Sun' but what on Earth are they thinking releasing it? Fully expecting it to miss the top 10 even being held back.

First time hearing Dark Horse. :o

Biography

A former Christian artist, Katy Perry rebranded herself as a larger-than-life pop star and rose to prominence during the summer of 2008. Before she topped the charts with songs like "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls," though, she spent the better part of a decade recording music under a different name. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (or Katy Hudson, as she billed herself on her 2001 gospel album) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Raised in a religious household as the daughter of two pastors, she was forbidden to listen to secular bands as a child, although a childhood slumber party introduced her to the music of Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under her original name. She would later abandon the genre (and her given surname) in favor of a pop career.

 

At age 17, she began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written Alanis Morissette's chart-topping Jagged Little Pill in 1995. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record an album of their own, with Perry serving as one of the group's two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as "the Next Big Thing!"

 

With the Matrix's unreleased album sitting in the vaults at Sony Records, Perry went back to the drawing board and began working on a solo album for Columbia. The project was eventually canceled, although two of its songs were later given to Kelly Clarkson, who scored a Top 40 hit with "I Do Not Hook Up" several years later. Perry (who, by this point, had shed her original surname due to its similarity to actress Kate Hudson) then signed with Capitol, who encouraged their new client to write her own music and helped establish her image as a boisterous, tongue-in-cheek pop star. Perry's debut single, "UR So Gay," generated a small buzz with its mischievous lyrics and clever music video, but it was "I Kissed a Girl" that proved to be her breakthrough hit, topping the charts in 20 countries and pushing its accompanying album, 2008's One of the Boys, into the Top Ten in America. Perry supported her debut by joining the Warped Tour that summer, where she toured alongside her boyfriend at the time, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Meanwhile, "Hot N Cold" became her second multi-platinum hit, "Thinking of You" (one of the album's three songs written solely by Perry) cracked the Top 40, and "Waking Up in Vegas" cracked the Top Ten.

 

Such success meant that Katy Perry had officially become one of the industry's biggest pop stars, celebrated as much for her outsized behavior and outrageous fashion choices as the music itself. She continued touring through the summer of 2009 (albeit without McCoy, whose boyfriend status had been revoked earlier that year) and found time to tape an installment of MTV Unplugged, which was released in November. Meanwhile, she worked on a new album and started up a whirlwind romance with comedian Russell Brand, eventually becoming his fiancé. Recording sessions for her album wrapped up in early 2010, and Perry scored her second number one single with "California Gurls," which was released that May. The accompanying album, Teenage Dream, followed in August. The album would be reissued in 2012 as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, with the bonus track "Wide Awake" earning Perry a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance. - iTunes

First time hearing 'Dark Horse'.

First time hearing Dark Horse. I'm not feeling it :(

"Dark Horse" was sounding quite good until the rap kicks in. Completely unnecessary.

Dark Horse is really good. Trap AND Juicy J in a Katy Perry song *.* Needs to be released officially.

The Wanted just sound like they're not even trying any more.

Adore the production on 'Dark Horse'! Far more instant than 'Roar'. I find it quite hard to take Juicy J seriously though, probably just because of his name :lol:

"Dark horse" is nice but sounds like Katy doing a cover of a Ke$ha song. Will it be the second single?

Adore the production on 'Dark Horse'! Far more instant than 'Roar'. I find it quite hard to take Juicy J seriously though, probably just because of his name :lol:

 

That's definitely why I love it as well, it flows incredibly well and feels like a real accomplishment of a song. Far better than Roar for me, needs to get released officially.
