Also loving the sequences of odd and even numbers of 'Counting Stars' chart-run!

What a shame Matt Cardle just missed a top 10 position, such a good album.

 

Beats me how Jonathan & Charlotte manage to cling on to the top ten for 3 weeks.

One Direcxtion only at #4 :o :lol:

:o Was expecting this to be 2/3!

Biography

Following the success of JLS and the Wanted, X-Factor contestants One Direction were the next group of heartthrobs to help revive the previously dying concept of the boy band. Niall Horan from Mullingar, Ireland; Zayn Malik from Bradford; Harry Styles from Cheshire; Louis Tomlinson from Doncaster, and Liam Payne from Wolverhampton (the latter had previously reached the judge's house stages of The X-Factor as a 14-year-old back in 2008) originally entered the 2010 seventh series of the talent show as individuals, but following a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, they were grouped together to become One Direction. Mentored by Simon Cowell, they soon became one of the favorites to win the show, thanks to renditions of Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," Elton John's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight," and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart." However, despite receiving a standing ovation for their duet with Robbie Williams ("She's the One") in the live final, they eventually finished third behind Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Spotting the potential of five Justin Bieber-esque teen pinups, Cowell signed them to his Syco label in a £2million deal, and after performing on the X-Factor tour, the quintet began work on their debut album with Savan Kotecha (Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias). Following a sponsorship deal with Nintendo DS and a book, Forever Young, named after their cover of the Alphaville classic which was intended to be their winner's song, they released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," in late 2011. The full-length album, Up All Night, followed soon after. In 2012, One Direction became the first British band to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list when Up All Night sold over 176, 000 copies during its first week of release in America. In late 2012, One Direction released its sophomore album, Take Me Home. Highlighting more of the band's melodic pop, Take Me Home featured songs and production via Sweden's Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Savan Kotecha, who worked on Up All Night, as well as contributions from singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. In August of 2012, the band released the single "Live While We're Young" online. - iTunes

Hahahaha at 1D falling to #4.

One Direction down 3 places from the midweeks :D 'Story of My Life' is better than 'Best Song Ever' but that isn't saying much :(

'Children Of The Sun' is an absolute TUNE, possibly Tinie's best. #6 isn't ideal but it could have been a lot worse especially with a stupid Monday release.

 

:D :D :D at 1D missing the top 3.

Have Westlife reformed then?

 

FLOPS.

I think One Direction's next single will peak at #10.

There is no chance 1D won't be #1 this week. The Monster is excellent, but doubt it will be able to sell 100k in 5 days.

 

Looks like Rooney had his 'fanboy' hat on back on Monday..

OneD 20K behind the number one according to an OCC tweet.

:w00t: at Fatboy Slim getting a Top 3 hit in 2013. :cheer:

Biography

Norman Quentin Cook (born Quentin Leo Cook on 31 July 1963), also known by his stage name Fatboy Slim, is a British DJ, musician, rapper, and record producer. As a solo electronic act, he has won ten MTV Video Music Awards and two Brit Awards. His records as Fatboy Slim also helped to popularise the big beat genre which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s.

 

Cook first rose to fame in the 1980s as the bassist of the indie rock band The Housemartins who scored a UK number-one single with their a capella cover of Isley-Jasper-Isley's "Caravan of Love". After the band split, Cook formed Beats International whose début album spawned their signature hit, "Dub Be Good to Me" which was another UK number-one as well as going on to become the seventh best-selling single of 1990 in the UK. Cook then went on to join numerous other acts including Freak Power, Pizzaman and The Mighty Dub Katz to moderate success.

 

Cook adopted the Fatboy Slim moniker in 1996 and released Better Living Through Chemistry to critical acclaim. Follow ups You've Come a Long Way, Baby and Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars, as well as their associated singles including "The Rockafeller Skank", "Praise You", "Right Here Right Now" and "Weapon of Choice" were also met with positive reviews.

 

In 2008, Cook founded a project called The Brighton Port Authority. Cook produced the single "Mama Do the Hump" by fellow Brighton band Rizzle Kicks released in December 2011 which peaked at 2 in the charts. Cook has been responsible for successful remixes for Cornershop, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, and Wildchild. In 2012, he appeared as the London Olympics Opening Ceremony. In October 2013 his latest single "Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat" with Riva Starr joined BBC Radio 1's and BBC Radio 2's playlists, and was remixed by Calvin Harris. Both versions of the song were released on 27 October. - Wikipedia

Eat Sleep Rave Repeat = TUNE. :wub:

#4 1D

 

Tune but I like the version without Calvin Harris better.

This song beating 1D makes me feel very depressed.
