Lorde staying top 2, YAY.

 

Beardyman getting a UK top 3 hit to his name when he appears to not do anything on the song at all. Smash. Great to have Fatboy Slim back to high up in the chart.

Rihanna really is One Direction's arch nemesis :heehee:

The chart history for Fatboy Slim was an interesting read. The Radio Edit of ESRR is awful though :(

Biography

Employing a stylish mix of arty, confessional bedroom pop and club-ready electro-rock that has drawn comparisons to the likes of Grimes, Lana Del Rey, and Sky Ferreira, New Zealand singer/songwriter Ella Yelich-O'Connor, who goes by the stage name Lorde, became an Internet sensation at the age of 16 with the video for her debut single, "Royals," which garnered over 750,000 hits on YouTube. Her 2013 debut EP, The Love Club, hit the number one spot on both the New Zealand and Australian charts. The New Zealander continued her meteoric rise to fame in 2013 with a growing fan base and began sessions for her debut album, Pure Heroine, with producer Joel Little. - iTunes

Discussion Thread Here

 

Always surprises me that 1D don't sail to #1 with each release - I think it's because they are not accessible to their fanbase anymore hence all the other boybands appearing.

 

The Wanted are well on their last legs - Can't see the album doing particularly well and their recent singles have disappeared as soon as they have arrived.

Back to normality on the chart show next week hopefully.

Is Riva Starr another Fatboy Slim moniker? Typing in his name in Wikipedia redirects to Norman Cook.

The Monster hitting where Love The Way You Lie had missed.

Sales thread up

I would LOVE Lorde to write a song for Rihanna if it's as good as Royals. :wub:

Urgh at the fact that Rihanna can bring any dirge to #1.

Beardyman getting a UK top 3 hit to his name when he appears to not do anything on the song at all.

 

Beardyman is the vocalist. The story about Fatboy Slim recording someone off the street was dreamed up for the promo campaign for the single.

A bit cocky calling herself "Lord"

So Eminem and Rihanna gain their 25th top ten hit each today :o

 

Mental to think how huge they both are.

Interestingly The Monster, as well as being the 8th number 1 for both Eminem and Rihanna, it's also the 25th top 10 hit for both of them :o (if my calculations are correct that is)

Edit: Damn, beaten to it again :P

Edited November 3, 201312 yr by Yorkie2

Happy to see Eminem at #1. This is his best song in years and far better than LTWYL imo. Shame Rap God & Survival were ineligible this week. I couldn't really care less about Bezerk.
