October 6, 201312 yr 17 (from 9) Jessie J - It's My Party [D] http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music4/v4/d0/ab/2e/d0ab2eaa-9efa-9eb7-73df-737bdad4aacc/13UAAIM67484.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 3-9-17 [3 wks] Release date: 15-09-2013 Format: download only single Label: Universal Music Sales: 80k+ Video here: 59caVlKNNEQ Biography Combining the vocal prowess of Beyoncé, the genre-hopping sounds of Gwen Stefani, and the feisty attitude of P!nk, songwriter Jessie J eventually overcame various career setbacks and health problems to become a star in her own right. Born Jessica Cornish in Chadwell Heath, London in 1988, she started her career in showbiz at the age of 11, performing in the West End production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind. After studying musical theater at the prestigious BRITS School, she signed a deal with indie label Gut Records, which went bankrupt before releasing any of her music. Following a minor stroke at age 18, she gained a Sony publishing contract and penned hits for the likes of Chris Brown, Dutch X Factor winner Lisa Lois, and Miley Cyrus (the American number two hit "Party in the USA"). After building up an established online presence, she signed to Universal Records and began working with the likes of hitmaker Dr. Luke (Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson), Atlanta rapper B.o.B, and R&B producer Labrinth on her debut album, Who You Are. In 2010, her first single, "Do It Like a Dude," originally written for Rihanna, reached number 25 in the U.K. charts and, following in the footsteps of Adele, Florence and the Machine, and Ellie Goulding, she was announced as the winner of the Critics Choice Award at the 2011 Brits. That same year, an appearance on Saturday Night Live coincided with her album being reissued in the U.S. Following a tour that took in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Malaysia and her first show in North America, Jessie J became the first UK female solo artist to achieve six top-ten singles from a single studio album. The success of the sixth single “LaserLight”, featuring David Guetta, was aided in no small part by her appearance as judge on the UK edition of The Voice. The hit show gave the singer a chance to display her talent for musical coaching, while building a rapport with fans both old and new on primetime television. Also involved were Tom Jones and Will.I.Am, with whom Jessie J performed at Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee Concert in June 2012, before heading back to the studio to work on the follow-up to Who You Are. ~ Jon O'Brien & Daniel Clancy, Rovi / iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2010 02 Do It Like A Dude -1- 2011 01 Price Tag (Jessie J Feat.

October 6, 201312 yr Was this the last 'proper' double A side to get to number 1? McFly - Baby's Coming Back / Transylvania in 2007, I think.
October 6, 201312 yr I wonder how much Lucy got paid for all that product placement in that song. Nothing I imagine seeing as she wrote it before auditioning for The X Factor (where she sang the song) Ouch at It's My Party :(
October 6, 201312 yr McFly - Baby's Coming Back / Transylvania in 2007, I think. Oh yes, I forgot about McFly!
October 6, 201312 yr AWFUL. Seriously, how on earth has she fallen so far in such a short space of time? I never really cared for her in the first place but It's My Party is just plain awful and strips her of any personality she ever had.
October 6, 201312 yr Was this the last 'proper' double A side to get to number 1? I'm not sure what makes a 'proper' double a-side admittedly, but didn't McFly have a few number 1s like this after that? (Don't Stop Me Now/Please Please, Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania)
October 6, 201312 yr I can - Holes more upbeat and tolerable! That's the problem, IMO - it's supposed to be saying something more upbeat but it's performed in such a mopey way you can't tell.
October 6, 201312 yr I'm not sure what makes a 'proper' double a-side admittedly, but didn't McFly have a few number 1s like this after that? (Don't Stop Me Now/Please Please, Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania) Well, I guess when downloads were introduced, it stopped them (Leona for instance).

A native of Lake Placid, New York, Del Rey released the single "Kill Kill" under her given name, Lizzy Grant, in 2009 before remaking herself into the pop femme fatale character Lana Del Rey. A video for the single "Video Games" appeared online in August of 2011 and drew considerable buzz, as did a secret show she performed at Brooklyn's Grasslands Gallery that September. Del Rey's EP, featuring the songs "Video Games" and "Blue Jeans," was released in fall 2011. Amidst a heavy dose of hype, her debut album Born to Die was announced by Interscope for release early the following year. Del Rey cemented the anticipation around the album with an appearance on Saturday Night Live, becoming the first artist since Natalie Imbruglia in 1998 to perform on the show before the release of her debut album. Born to Die hit number one in several European countries, reached number two on the U.S. charts, and eventually sold several million copies worldwide. By the end of 2012, Del Rey had released her next work, a mini-album titled Paradise, with a trailer single called "Ride." - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Lana Del Rey 2011 09 Video Games -1- 2012 09 Born To Die -2- 2012 32 Blue Jeans -3- 2012 60 Blue Velvet -PS- 2012 32 Ride -4- 2013 23 Young And Beautiful -OST- 2013 04 Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Rey vs. Cedric Gervais) -5- Cedric Gervais 2012 26 Molly -NAS- 2013 04 Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Rey vs. Cedric Gervais)
October 6, 201312 yr 'Summertime Sadness' has done SO MUCH BETTER in the charts than I thought it would, even if it has been remixed.
October 6, 201312 yr Happy that "A Thousand Years" and "Let Her Go" have held on well this week!! ^_^
