Its catchy but annoying as hell.

Good way at putting it...like I said, the tune is great but the lyrics/sounds are horribly annoying :lol:

 

See ya, JLS. I enjoyed most of your singles and yous had a good career :)

Oomph, what a low entry for JLS ! :o

Looks like they're splitting up at the right time.

JLS did have a couple great songs in the past, 'One Shot' being my favourite I think. 'Billion Lights' really really underperformed.

It's kinda amazing that only two of their singles missed the top 10. They sure did have a good career. It's a shame this charted so low.

I hated JLS until One Direction came along... Now I wish it was the other way round and One Direction were splitting up! :lol:

This song is very fitting as JLS' swan song - its terrible.

This is STILL this high?! I'll put it down to NOW 86. :lol:

Biography

Cleverly using dance music blogs as the platform to launch his career, Tim Berg, aka Avicii, has since become one of the most prominent producers on the burgeoning Swedish house scene. Born in Stockholm in 1989, Berg only started making music at the age of 18, writing and remixing tracks in his bedroom and then leaking them onto various blogs. Influenced by Daft Punk and Steve Angello, his melodic house sound gained a huge following, and led to support from Tiësto, who invited him to perform a weekly residency at Privilege in Ibiza, and Pete Tong, who released first single "Manman" through his Bedroom Bedlam label. After he remixed tracks for Little Boots, Robyn, and Dizzee Rascal, Berg's first mainstream release, the Ministry of Sound instrumental "Seek Bromance," became a huge hit across Europe and later in the U.K., thanks to a vocal version featuring Amanda Wilson. In 2012 he released the song "2 Million" after reaching that number of followers on Facebook, while his single "Le7els" and its accompanying video were nominated at that year's MTV Music Video Awards. Towards the end of 2012 he released his highly-anticipated collaboration single with Nicky Romero. "I Could Be The One" was a smash hit and was featured heavily on reality TV shows and radio play across Europe. In 2013, Avicii teamed up with Ericsson and creates the first "crowdsourced" track which enabled the producer to connect to fans and promote his brand. The single "3 Million" was released to celebrate the 3 millionth fan on his Facebook page. "Le7els" was nominated for the Best Dance Recording at the 2013 Grammys but lost out to Skrillex & Sirah's "Bangarang". Ahead of his debut album #TRUE, he released the single "Wake Me Up" in June 2013. Featuring Aloe Blacc, it reached the top of the UK Charts and confidently showed off his new musical direction. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes

Wow! WMU has climbed abit this week. Presumably due to the Now 86 effect.

Avicii still hanging around with amazing longevity, good to see.

Fabulous to see 'Wake Me Up' back in the top twenty! ◢◤

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

Album Discussion Here

JLS have done better than I honestly expected on both charts this week. Finishing on their lowest peaking single (well, aside from 'Hold Me Down' if that even counts) isn't brilliant but at least it made the top 20.

 

This didn't sound too good on SCD but it's sounding decent now.

 

Edit: figured it out now.... I'll get me coat!

The NOW effect conquering the charts!

At least all the tracks getting boosts from Now 86 this week are good ones :)

"Such a long career"? She's only just re-released her second album! :lol:

"Such a long career"? She's only just re-released her second album! :lol:

 

It is relatively late into a career to get a first #1 to be fair :P Not massively late but I think more #1 artists than not got there with a song off their debut. (It's essentially her 4th 'era' anyway).

I don't understand this ◢◤ at all. Is it a logo? :huh:

I remember first hearing Starry Eyed and thinking Ellie was going to be a one hit wonder... how wrong was I! ^_^
