Is there like an upcoming alvum from Bieber that I don't know about? Just Asking

 

Nope, they're being released in the run up to his new film being released.

I can't believe Hold On We're Going Home has done so well.

 

I'm sure his next single will chart at #178 or #33 or something like that.

 

Probably. There's isn't anything remotely as commerical on the album. And any radio edits would have to cut the song to smithereens the amount of swearing there is.

 

 

Another great track, Wilkinson. :wub:

 

His next single is the one that features Sampha.

 

That has potential to do well, since it's quite commercial, but it probably won't.

 

His next US single is Further Thing (but All Me and Pound Cake are also charting :drama:). I think they all have potential to chart tbh, it just depends on if Capital supports them as much as they randomly have with Hold On We're Going Home.

Strange how the songs in this little section of the chart have held up with a lot of the ones above them last week taking huge drops.

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' - Awesome stuff! :wub: :wub:

The swearing doesn't matter, they just mute it out or replace it with another word in the radio edit. Other songs like Give It 2 U or Talk Dirty sound fine on the radio.

Eat Sleep Rave Repeat :heart: Sadly it's not having a good chart run so far, hopefully Calvin's new tune does better than this.
The vocals on this are starting to get annoying now, but it's still pretty good on the whole!

Awful song. I am disappointed by the number of uninspired dance tracks in the top 20 this week

Afterglow isn't uninspired imo.

Biography

Responsible for bringing the flower-power hip-hop sound of the late '80s back into the charts, Brighton duo Rizzle Kicks are one of the few successful male acts to emerge from the BRIT School that spawned the likes of Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Leona Lewis. Childhood friends Jordan "Rizzle" Stevens and Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule first started making music together in 2008 on the Minor Breaches of Discipline mixtape, which saw the pair rapping over samples of tracks by Lily Allen, Gorillaz, and Arctic Monkeys. Compared to the likes of De La Soul and Dream Warriors, their laid-back production and humorous non-confrontational rhymes earned them a deal with Universal Records, and in 2011 they released their debut single, "Prophet (Better Watch It)," followed by "Down with the Trumpets," which eventually reached number eight in the U.K. charts. Following a guest appearance on X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs' chart-topping single "Heart Skips a Beat," support slots with Professor Green, the Streets, and Dizzee Rascal, and a remix of Ed Sheeran's "You Need Me, I Don't Need You," they were invited by Take That's Gary Barlow to appear in his Children in Need charity supergroup alongside the likes of N-Dubz, Wretch 32, and Ms. Dynamite. Following three MOBO nominations for Best Newcomer and U.K. Hip-Hop/Grime Act and Video, their debut album, Stereo Typical, was released at the end of 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes
