October 27, 201312 yr "Beautiful Life" started off not too bad, but then the chorus and that horrible falsetto - Urgh!
October 27, 201312 yr Yeah, this sounds a bit clunky and cringey when they all sing over each other. This is a much better placing than I expected for them though, perhaps they can prolong that fifteen minute shelf life a little bit longer.
October 27, 201312 yr Just realised most of the acts I saw at Alton Towers Live are in the chart atm - The Vamps, Union J, James Arthur, Rizzle Kicks & Conor Maynard. :P Everyone apart from Stooshe, Little Mix & Olly Murs

Born in Tidworth, Wiltshire, England in 1974 to a family with a long military history, Blunt entered the Army after graduating from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Ultimately achieving the rank of captain, Blunt served with the NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo and finished out his time in the military as a member of the Life Guard Regiment in the British Household Cavalry. Having long been interested in music, Blunt wasted no time in pursuing a pop career after leaving the Army. A subsequent performance at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, brought Blunt to the attention of 4 Non Blondes singer/producer Linda Perry, who signed Blunt to her Custard Records label. Released in 2005, Blunt's debut album, Back to Bedlam, and its hit single, You're Beautiful, were hugely successful — the single hit number one in over a dozen countries, and sold over ten million copies worldwide. Blunt toured for much of 2005 and 2006, then released the two-disc "odds and sods" live/documentary album Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions in 2006. He had been writing songs while on the road, and brought Back to Bedlam producer Tom Rothrock in again to record. (The songs featured writing collaborations with Mark Batson, Jimmy Hogarth. Steve McEwan, and Max Martin, while the recordings featured Blunt's live backing band.) His sophomore effort, All the Lost Souls — featuring the leadoff single "1973" — finally dropped in September 2007. Disillusioned by success and what he felt as a perceived loss of artistic credibility, Blunt took a break from music before coming back in 2010 with his third full-length effort Some Kind of Trouble, a more optimistic, spontaneous album influenced by '70s U.S. pop/rock, which sold well despite not being critically well-received. In 2012 he returned to the studio with Tom Rothrock to track his fourth album Moon Landing. Featuring "Miss America," Blunt's tribute to the late Whitney Houston, and the country-folk-influenced single Bonfire Heart, the record was scheduled for release in October 2013. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2005 44 Wisemen -1- 2005 01 You're Beautiful -2- 2005 16 High {re-issue} -3- 2005 09 Goodbye My Lover -4- 2006 23 Wisemen {2006 re-issue} 2007 04 1973 -1- 2007 57 Same Mistake -2- 2008 20 Carry You Home -3- 2010 26 Stay The Night -1- 2013 04 Bonfire Heart -1-
October 27, 201312 yr I love this song more and more with each listen, it's got a rather anthemic chorus. I've always been a Blunt fan though, for my sins.
October 27, 201312 yr Not complaining but still amazed how it turned out to be a huge hit for James Blunt. #1 in Germany by the way!
October 27, 201312 yr Yay for Bonfire Heart. Should be getting a boost soon, the 5th of November is almost here :P Edited October 27, 201312 yr by Thermometer
October 27, 201312 yr NEXT. Honestly such shit. It's actually kinda similar to Beautiful Life IMO... :lol: I rather like this now, never been a fan of his at all but this is pleasant enough.
October 27, 201312 yr I really don't mind this James Blunt track the track has grown on me, in the past few days.
October 27, 201312 yr 6 (from 2) Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball [D] http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/v4/7f/c5/85/7fc58500-1dd8-6581-2524-c07870b7defa/886444193757.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 1-2-6 [3 wks] Release date: 06-10-2013 Format: download only single Label: RCA Records Label Sales: 100k+ Video here: My2FRPA3Gf8 Biography Miley Cyrus became an overnight sensation in 2006 as the star of Hannah Montana, a popular Disney Channel television series whose success allowed Cyrus to launch her own recording career several years later. Overnight popularity wasn't a new thing for the Cyrus family; Miley's father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, went from obscurity to stardom in a few short months in 1992, when "Achy Breaky Heart" became a crossover hit. The success of "Achy Breaky Heart" was hardly the only memorable event for Billy Ray that year, though, as he and his wife welcomed their daughter Destiny Hope Cyrus into the world on November 23, 1992. Destiny's cheerful disposition as a child earned her the nickname Smiley, which stuck when it was shortened to Miley. Miley's career as a professional actress began in 2003, when she appeared alongside her father in an episode of the television series Doc. The same year, she landed a small role in the Tim Burton film Big Fish. The budding actress had also developed an interest in writing songs and learning how to sing, and in 2005, she landed a role that allowed her to put her skills in acting and music to work. Miley was cast in the title role of Hannah Montana, in which she played a teenage girl leading a double life: by day, she's Miley Stewart, an ordinary kid dealing with school, friends, siblings, and all the other foibles of life for a 14-year-old, while at night she dons a wig and becomes Hannah Montana, a multi-platinum pop star whose career is guided by her dad, songwriter Robby Stewart. Miley's friends don't know she's also Hannah, however, and keeping this a secret is no simple matter. After debuting in March 2006, Hannah Montana became an immediate success with young viewers and led to the release of a soundtrack CD in October, featuring Miley singing eight songs from the show along with five related tracks (including a duet with her father, Billy Ray, on "I Learned from You"). That fall, Miley hit the road as the opening act for another Disney-spawned pop act, the Cheetah Girls. A reissue of the Hannah Montana album followed in March 2007, not long after the show's theme song, "The Best of Both Worlds," was released as a single. A second Hannah Montana record, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus, was released in summer 2007. That fall, Cyrus embarked on the Best of Both Worlds tour, which stretched into early 2008 and was edited into The Best of Both Worlds Concert film, which was released that spring. By then, Cyrus was busy recording Breakout, her first full-fledged album as herself, as well as shooting Hannah Montana: The Movie, which was slated for release the following year. Breakout arrived in summer 2008. It topped the Billboard charts and quickly went platinum, paving the way for an even more successful year in 2009. Hannah Montana: The Movie was released that March and peaked at number one, while the soundtrack's lead single — a country-pop ballad called "The Climb" — became one of the year's most omnipresent songs, giving Miley her first multi-platinum hit. A short album, The Time of Our Lives, arrived several months later and yielded another hit with "Party in the U.S.A.," which charted inside the Billboard Top Ten for 16 weeks. Cyrus performed the song on the "Wonder World Tour," her first international tour, and also found time to film another movie, The Last Song, which hit theaters in 2010. With acting assuming such a large role in her life, Cyrus announced her decision to take a hiatus from music — but not before the release of her third album, Can't Be Tamed, which appeared that summer. ~ Mark Deming & Andrew Leahey, Rovi / iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2007 43 The Best Of Both Worlds (as Hannah Montana) -OST- 2008 11 See You Again -1- 2008 25 7 Things -1- 2009 16 Fly On The Wall -2- 2009 11 The Climb -OST- 2009 18 Hoedown Throwdown -OST- 2009 11 Party In The U.S.A. -1- 2010 13 Can't Be Tamed -2- 2013 34 Fall Down (will.i.am Feat.
