November 24, 201312 yr I slightly hate to admit it, but Story of My Life isn't actually that bad :lol: Probably their best song, which isn't saying much, but still... :lol:
November 24, 201312 yr Their chart history is actually quite impressive, considering their rather short career so far.
November 24, 201312 yr I think this is my favorite song they've ever done after What Makes You Beautiful, I don't really get the hate for it, its a very mature sound for them. Edited November 24, 201312 yr by Chez Wombat
November 24, 201312 yr Embarrassing run for Lorde - surely the last we'll hear of her? Not as long as I'm around ^_^
November 24, 201312 yr 9 Lily Allen - Hard Out Here [D] http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/v4/4f/dd/3f/4fdd3f0b-bde1-3437-6d40-c3642c2bb2e6/825646348596.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 9 [1 wk] Release date: 17-11-2013 Format: digital single Label: Parlophone Records Video here: E0CazRHB0so Biography Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (née Allen; born 2 May 1985), known professionally as Lily Allen, is an English recording artist and actress. She is the daughter of Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Allen abandoned school when she was 15 and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. In 2005, she made some of her recordings public on Myspace and the publicity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio One and a contract with Regal Recordings. Her first mainstream single, "Smile", reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received, selling over 2.6 million copies worldwide and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three. Her second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was well received by critics, noting the singer's musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "f*** You", popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that has seen five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" nominated for the Mercury Prize. In 2009 Allen announced that she would be taking a hiatus from musical activities. During 2010, Allen opened a fashion rental shop "Lucy in Disguise" with her sister Sarah, followed by the 2011 launching of her own record label. In 2013, Allen revealed that she had begun working on her third studio album. On November 12, 2013 Allen premiered the video for her first original song since 2009, "Hard Out Here", which will be released as a single on November 17. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): 2006 01 Smile -1- 2006 06 LDN -2- 2006 21 Littlest Things -3- 2007 15 Alfie -4- 2007 08 Oh My God (Mark Ronson Feat.

November 24, 201312 yr Really quite disappointed at this only entering at #9 but at least it's top 10 I guess... :( Oh they're not even playing it in full. Great! EDIT: Oh, they are. Just this silly edit.
November 24, 201312 yr Hard Out Here is definitely growing on me, it's just the excessive autotune that's off-putting (even if it's supposed to be a statement)!
November 24, 201312 yr Pleased 'Hard Out Here' made it to #9, I do wish it was so much higher though. Hopefully it can rebound at some point.
November 24, 201312 yr Ignoring all the malarky around the video, this really isn't that good a song, she did this sort of cynical critique of society much better with The Fear. Edited November 24, 201312 yr by Chez Wombat
November 24, 201312 yr I like how about half of the song was censored :lol: It's like an Eminem song :lol:
November 24, 201312 yr 8 (from 5) Little Mix - Move [D] http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Features/v4/b9/9c/3d/b99c3d74-ce99-31c0-585c-c94b6f3ea992/dj.tvueuypx.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 3-5-8 [3 wks] Release date: 03-11-2013 Format: download only single Label: Syco Music Sales: 100k+ Video here: RwD4eJGxPc4 Biography Surpassing the achievements of One Direction and JLS by becoming the first group to win The X Factor in the U.K., four-piece girl band Little Mix were one of the few success stories to emerge from the underperforming and controversial eighth season. Jade Thirlwall (who had auditioned for two previous series) and Perrie Edwards (both from South Shields), Jesy Nelson (from Romford, East London), and Leigh-Anne Pinnock (from High Wycombe) had all originally auditioned as solo artists, but like fellow acts Nu Vibe and the Risk, were put together as a group at the boot-camp stages. After impressing Jessie J and mentor N-Dubz's Tulisa Contostavlos at Judges' House, they made it to the live finals, where their engaging personalities, girl-next-door image, and contemporary song choices saw them outgrow their initial underdog status. Originally known as Rhythmix, the girls were forced to change their moniker in week four after it was revealed that there was already a Brighton-based children's charity of the same name. But following stellar performances of En Vogue's "Don't Let Go," Katy Perry's "E.T.," and Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music," they beat the Conway Sisters and Hope's previous record to become the first girl band in the show's history to make it past week seven. After contributing to the high-profile M&S TV ad campaign and the finalists' charity cover version of Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star," they eventually went on to triumph over Marcus Collins in the final. Their debut single, a rendition of Damien Rice's 2003 hit "Cannonball," went on to top the charts but scored the lowest first-week sales by an X Factor winner since Steve Brookstein's "Against All Odds" in 2004, and was later beaten to the coveted Christmas number one spot by the Military Wives Choir. Their debut album, DNA, featuring the singles "Cannonball," "Wings," and the title track, was released in late 2012. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2011 01 Cannonball -NAS- 2012 01 Wings -1- 2012 03 DNA -2- 2013 12 Change Your Life -3- 2013 16 How Ya Doin?
