It will be Not Giving Up smashing at #1! :D

YESS!!!!

Corrected.

 

If that were the case it will be Leave a Light On flopping at #38!

'Disco Love' sounded better on second listen than when I first heard it a couple of weelks ago. Not as good as their last 2 singles though (yes, I like 'Gentleman' :P)

 

Had no idea 'R U Crazy' was produced by Labrinth! Nice to know he's still alive, he seems to have gone quiet again.

If that were the case it will be Leave a Light On flopping at #38!

Or lease My Love grabbing that #06!! :D

'Leave A Light On' would smash all kinds of barriers!

Corrected.

 

No baby no. Not Giving Up is the most obvious smash on the album (although it probably won't be #1).

Biography

Touted as the British answer to Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber, Brighton-born Conor Maynard also rose to prominence through cover versions posted on YouTube. Born in 1992, Maynard had been singing since a young age, but it wasn’t until 2008 that he posted his first video — a cover of Lee Carr’s “Breathe” — on the video sharing site. Throughout 2009 and 2010, Maynard continued posting cover versions of artists such as Chris Brown, Taio Cruz, and Rihanna, while amassing a considerable following from users subscribing to his YouTube channel. Maynard’s cover of American R&B artist Ne-Yo’s “Beautiful Monster” caught the attention of the singer/songwriter, prompting Ne-Yo to make contact with the rising star.

 

At the end of 2011, MTV U.K. hosted their Brand New for 2012 competition, which enabled fans to vote for their favorite up-and-coming artists. Joined by Lana Del Rey, Delilah, and Lianne La Havas, among others in the competition, Maynard went on to win, picking up 45-percent of the votes. A month later he announced that he’d signed a deal with EMI subsidiary Parlophone, and in April 2012, he released his first single, Can’t Say No. Maynard’s debut album, Contrast, followed three months later and saw him working with a whole host of producers and guest vocalists, including Pharrell Williams, the Invisible Men, Ne-Yo, and Rita Ora. - iTunes

Album Discussion Here

R U Crazy has grown on me soooo much over this week, it's actually great! :wub:

 

SO much better than Can't Say No, if only they'd swap peaks~

Actually liked that.

 

It was quite OK - first time I've heard it.

 

Maybe it'll hang around & climb, like 'You're Beautiful' ;)

 

(maybe MW will even post a total for it tomorrow)

Oh dear - I just posted one!

'R U Crazy' is the best of a dreadful batch of new entries.
I thought this was Justin Timberlake singing for so long, now that I see who it is and heard it properly, I'm not really sure how I'd EVER confuse the two.

'R U Crazy' has slowly become my second favourite Conor single, after the AMAZING 'Turn Around' of course.
