November 17, 201312 yr UGH NO. And this is due for a climb next week too, just as I thought it was starting to disappear. <_<
November 17, 201312 yr What's caused such a huge drop for this? Looks like the curse of male X Factor winners might continue, shame because I quite like what Ive heard from him. Because he's turned into an even bigger knob and has made homophobic comments on twitter. Which in turn has led to him leaving twitter.
November 17, 201312 yr 27 (from 33) 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: 1-1-1-2-3-8-10-13-18-17-23-26-33-27 [14 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.

November 17, 201312 yr Just noticed that if 'How Long Will I Love You' is #3 she'll have exactly one song (as a lead artist so ignoring 'I Need Your Love') peak at each position between 1 and 5. Fun.
November 17, 201312 yr 26 Keane - Somewhere Only We Know [D] http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Features/02/40/4a/dj.eoeqnpns.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run 2004: 3-8-14-16-20-26-32-44-54-64-67-72 [12 wks] Chart Run 2005: 59 [1 wk] Chart Run: 26 [1 wk] Release date: 16-02-2004 Availability: download only single Label: Universal Music Sales: 200k+ Video here: Oextk-If8HQ Biography Keane's piano-driven pop/rock is created by vocalist Tom Chaplin, drummer Richard Hughes, and pianist Tim Rice-Oxley, three childhood friends from the small town of Battle in East Sussex, England. Formed in 1997, the group started out as a college-aged cover band. Guitarist Dominic Scott was also part of this early incarnation, having previously played cover songs with Hughes and Rice-Oxley in a band named the Lotus Eaters. Keane toured the East Sussex circuit for several years while internalizing the epic sounds of their set list, which included songs by Oasis, U2, and the Beatles. The quartet began performing original material in 1998, although Chaplin left for Edinburgh University shortly thereafter to study art history. The move proved to be brief, as he returned to London in 1999 and doubled his efforts with Keane. Buoyed by Chaplin's tenor vocals and Rice-Oxley's inventive keyboard effects, the group made its studio debut in 2000 with a self-released single, "Call Me What You Like." Wolf at the Door followed one year later, but the band still struggled to find its momentum as Scott left the lineup in July, leaving the band without a guitarist. Keane continued performing as a trio and happened upon their big break in December 2002, when Fierce Panda Records representative Simon Williams (who had helped discover Coldplay several years prior) was summoned by a friend to attend a Keane gig in London. Williams was impressed with the band's performance and offered to issue Keane's next single, Everybody's Changing, on the spot. The limited-edition release became a success on U.K. radio and attracted attention from major record labels, several of whom began to swarm around the group. Keane signed with Island Records in 2003 and released This Is the Last Time, the band's final single for the Fierce Panda label, before the year was up. They made their major-label debut one year later with Hopes and Fears, which hit the top of the U.K. album charts during its first week of release and beat out Morrissey's You Are the Quarry. The ballad "Somewhere Only We Know" became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, and Keane received two Brit Awards (for Best Breakthrough Act and Best Album 2005) while earning a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. The album went on to become the second highest-selling record of the year in the U.K., barely losing out to the Scissor Sisters' debut. Keane opened several shows during U2's 2005 tour in support of their debut, which was followed several months later by the Live Recordings 2004 EP. When it came time to return to the recording studio, the band once again enlisted producer Andy Green and fashioned a darker album titled Under the Iron Sea. Arriving in 2006, it debuted at number four on the Billboard Top 200, topped the U.K. charts, and spun off the band's most successful single to date with Is It Any Wonder? Keane chose to pursue a different agenda for their next project, however, returning in 2008 with a slightly retooled sound — including the presence of electric guitar — and a new album, Perfect Symmetry. Two years later, they changed directions yet again with the release of Night Train, an eight-song EP featuring collaborations with the Somali rapper K'NAAN. Released in 2012, Strangeland, the full-length follow-up to Perfect Symmetry, married that album’s use of guitars and über-pop sensibility with the anthemic, piano-led sound prevalent on the band’s first two albums, particularly Under the Iron Sea. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2004 03 Somewhere Only We Know -1- 2004 04 Everybody's Changing -2- 2004 10 Bedshaped -3- 2004 18 This Is The Last Time -4- 2006 03 Is It Any Wonder? -1- 2006 20 Crystal Ball -2- 2006 19 Nothing In My Way -3- 2007 23 A Bad Dream -4- 2008 23 Spiralling -1- 2008 52 The Lovers Are Losing -2- 2010 40 Stop For A Minute (Keane & K'naan) -1- 2012 46 Silenced By The Night -1- 2012 74 Sovereign Light Cafe -2-
November 17, 201312 yr I absolutely LOVE this song. My favourite version is the one Darren Criss did on Glee, but the original and Lily Allen versions are stunning too. :heart:
November 17, 201312 yr Nice to see Keane's SOWK back in the top 40. They had some great songs back in the day, as well as Spiralling. Their fans can be bonkers though, they weren't too happy by the review of the Greatest Hits album in Drowned In Sound.
November 17, 201312 yr Katy B deserved to be huge with this :( As for James Arthur I hope people are finally getting tired of him blabbing his mouth thinking hes mint -_-
November 17, 201312 yr Keane :wub: One of the few boy bands I love! Hope they won't go away for too long, now is probably a better time for them than ever to release new material.
November 17, 201312 yr (40) Dizzee Rascal-Love This Town Didn't care much this song. Hard to believe his best work came out around 10 years ago.
November 17, 201312 yr Keane :wub: One of the few boy bands I love! Hope they won't go away for too long, now is probably a better time for them than ever to release new material. Has the definition of that term changed since 2004?
