November 10, 201312 yr Despite not hearing 'Thunder' I think Jessie J should have gone with 'Sexy Lady' for the next single. It is a bit generic but it's not too screechy, and I think it'd help to bring this era up a little.
November 10, 201312 yr What made this hold up all week? I thought it would have dropped out and been far from the top 40 by now, it's not like it has any airplay (or does it?) to support it after the Surprise Surprise performance. Ugh die Jessie etc.
November 10, 201312 yr I still don't get why Jessie has chosen 'Thunder' over 'Sexy Lady'. :huh: This is the 2nd time the latter has entered the top 40 as an album track. 'Thunder' is FAR better and the only actually decent track on the album, so it's a good choice.

T.I. & Pharrell Williams - Blurred Lines [D] http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r2000/015/Music2/v4/49/83/b4/4983b4cc-14a4-8e23-a87b-41055ea234b2/13UMGIM59314.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 1-1-1-1-2-2-1-2-3-3-5-7-10-10-15-18-19-18-28-32-33-26-30-35 [24 wks] Release date: 26-05-2013 Format: download only single Label: Star Trak, LLC Sales: 1,400K+ Video here: yyDUC1LUXSU Biography One of the more charismatic, flashy, and commercially successful R&B acts of the 2000s and 2010s, Robin Thicke didn't have the toughest row to hoe to achieve stardom, but he was one of the least likely artists to acquire street credibility. He worked for over a decade as a modestly successful songwriter and fledgling solo artist prior to breaking through — assisted by the Neptunes — with 2006's The Evolution of Robin Thicke. On that album, his inspirations, ranging from '70s Marvin Gaye to Philly soul to classic Brazilian music, vividly coalesced with his somewhat brash personality and remarkable vocal skill. It was the first of several Top Ten R&B albums in a career that involved symbiotic collaborations with long-term associate Pro-Jay, Pharrell and Chad Hugo, Mark Ronson, and Polow da Don, as well as credibility-enhancing appearances from (or with) Lil Wayne, Faith Evans, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and T.I. Show biz is in Thicke's Canadian-American genes. The son of vocalist and actor Gloria Loring and theme song composer and actor Alan Thicke, he grew up in suburban Los Angeles, surrounded by the entertainment industry. A demo he recorded at the age of 14 was heard by Brian McKnight, who helped the youngster — subsequently nicknamed Brian McWhite — get a recording deal with the Interscope label. However, Thicke experienced his earliest success as a songwriter. Before the end of 2000, he either wrote or co-wrote songs for Brandy ("Love Is on My Side"), McKnight ("Anyway"), Color Me Badd ("Sexual Capacity"), Brownstone ("Around You"), Christina Aguilera ("When You Put Your Hands on Me"), and Marc Anthony ("When I Dream at Night"). He was also involved with several songs on Mya's Fear of Flying, as well as the majority of Jordan Knight's self-titled 1999 album, including the Top Ten Billboard Hot 100 hit "Give It to You." Despite all the work as a composer, he was still finding his footing as a solo artist. Advances of his debut album, Cherry Blue Skies, surfaced in 2002, but the album was shelved, adjusted, and given a different title. The revamped version, titled A Beautiful World and featuring Thicke's future wife Paula Patton on the cover, was released in April 2003. It did not leave much of an impression and peaked at only number 152 on the Billboard 200, but the brash lead single "When I Get You Alone" — which sampled Walter Murphy's 1976 disco hit "A Fifth of Beethoven" — reached the Top Ten in Belgium, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. Thicke's follow-up, The Evolution of Robin Thicke, didn't arrive until October 2006, but it benefited from a new alliance with the Neptunes. Signed to the duo's Star Trak label, though still technically an Interscope artist, Thicke scored a number one R&B single with the ballad "Lost Without U," and the album eventually went platinum. Thicke then settled into a lengthy career as a widely respected artist — with occasional diversions into humorous, self-aware showboating — who remained true to his root influences while occasionally departing from '70s-indebted stylistic comfort zone. The focused and refined Something Else, a September 2008 release, peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, highlighted by the disco-soul throwback single "Magic." December 2009's Sex Therapy, led by its Polow da Don-produced title track, narrowly missed the top of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Thicke's fifth studio album, Love After War, was his most swashbuckling release to date, issued in December 2011. He made a surprising crossover move in March 2013 with the lighthearted, off-the-cuff "Blurred Lines," a Pharrell production with instrumental cues taken from Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up." Assisted by its explicit video, it topped the Hot 100, a rare feat in 2013 for an R&B single. The album of the same title followed that July. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Robin Thicke 2007 11 Lost Without U -1- 2013 01 Blurred Lines (Robin Thicke Feat.

November 10, 201312 yr I still don't get why Jessie has chosen 'Thunder' over 'Sexy Lady'. :huh: This is the 2nd time the latter has entered the top 40 as an album track. Presumably she didn't choose it. Maybe she disagrees and that's why she wanted to do something else on the telly?
November 10, 201312 yr Please can this song die now. :arrr: Saying that, although he really creeps me out, he was quite good vocally on X Factor the other week (And Alan Carr when he sang GI2U this week)
November 10, 201312 yr Oh so this is still in :nocheer: I do like it but I'd prefer it to be outside the chart to let new songs in

November 10, 201312 yr Does this mean Rap God won't re-enter this week? :( Since Survival was always higher than it. Do you not follow the midweeks? 'Rap God' wasn't top 40 in either of them and isn't top 40 on iTunes, of course it's not going to be top 40 today :P
November 10, 201312 yr I still love 'Blurred Lines'. Although I'm shocked at T.I's discography. Deserves so much better. 'Whatever You Like' is a TUNE!!!!!
November 10, 201312 yr Does this mean Rap God won't re-enter this week? :( Since Survival was always higher than it. Sadly not. :( I do like Rap God.
November 10, 201312 yr 33 (from 26) Ellie Goulding - Burn [D] http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r2000/007/Music4/v4/d7/0e/a8/d70ea86c-71ca-1c27-97fe-bb6b687485b2/13UAAIM43348.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 1-1-1-2-3-8-10-13-18-17-23-26-33 [13 wks] Release date: 11-08-2013 Format: download only single Label: Polydor Ltd. (UK) Sales: 400k+ Video here: CGyEd0aKWZE Biography Ellie Goulding is a British vocalist whose music finds the balance between electro-pop and indie folk. Born in Hereford, England, she later moved to the country's east coast to study drama at the University of Kent. Goulding had developed a love for folk music as a teenager, and her time at University also exposed her to electronica. After two years, she took a break from her studies and moved to West London, where she pursued a career as an alternative singer/songwriter and befriended producers like Starsmith and Frankmusik, who gave her songs an electro-pop twist. In 2009, Goulding began building an audience via the internet, where early tracks like "Starry Eyed" and a cover of Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold" were posted on taste-making MP3 blogs such as Discodust. Goulding soon graduated from the blogosphere to print media, gaining praise from mainstream publications like The Guardian and fielding offers from record labels. She ultimately signed a major-label deal with Polydor Records and began making preparations to release her debut album. In the meantime, she penned songs for Diana Vickers, Gabriella Climi, and others. During the final weeks of 2009, Goulding topped the BBC's "Sound of 2010," a poll conducted by British music critics and industry insiders to identify new talent. Building on that momentum, she released Lights — a sparkling debut album that splashed Goulding's vocal flutter across a landscape of acoustic and synthesized instruments — in March 2010. Lights topped the U.K. charts during its first week and spun off a Top Five single, "Starry Eyed," which also charted well in Ireland and New Zealand. Later that year, the album was re-released as Bright Lights, featuring seven new recordings (including a cover of Elton John's "Your Song," which peaked at number two). In 2012, Goulding returned with her sophomore album, Halcyon, which showcased an even more sonically adventurous, electro-pop-infused sound. In 2013, a deluxe reissue featuring ten extra songs was released, entitled Halcyon Days, it acted as supplement to the original release. ~ Andrew Leahey & Jason Birchmeier, Rovi / iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2009 53 Under The Sheets -1- 2010 04 Starry Eyed -2- 2010 26 Guns And Horses -3- 2010 19 The Writer -4- 2010 12 Wonderman (Tinie Tempah Feat.
