It was a little bit unfair the fact that Avicii didn't credit Aloe Blacc to his song 'Wake Me Up". Aloe has very strong vocals and i think that he played an important role for the huge success of this song. That's why Aloe Blacc released an Ep with the title "Wake Me Up". It contains his acoustic version of "Wake Me Up" and "The Man". The latter seems to be popular in Us i-tunes..

 

This is good! Hopefully he can get a few hits singles off the back of Wake Me Up

I don't think it's that unfair that he wasn't credited on Wake Me Up. He's still probably made millions from the song, plus it seems like most people know he does the vocals for it anyway.

shaping up to be a big global hit

 

no surprise, it's got that feel

I just checked Us Top 100 Song Downloads and it's No.2!!!! Surely, it will be a big hit for him. When i posted that video, i thought that it would be at least a Top 40 hit..But it seems that it will be much bigger than i thought..He's the man..

I disliked "I Need a Dollar" with a passion. Addicted to this for now though, really love the interpolation of "Your Song".

Aloe released a The Man remix with Kid Ink projected to be an extra on his upcoming album, its not awful like most remixes but I prefer the original

 

The official lyric video is already out and it will be released in U.k on March 30!!!!

This is just reeeeally bad.

Shaping up to be not just one of my favourites of the year, but of the decade thus far.

I am sorry, I can't say I am understanding the mass love for this at all. It is just completely bland to me and I am surprised it is even shaping up to be one of the year's big hits.

I think that "The Man" will be a good no.1 especially after so many dance songs (Rather Be, Tsunami, My Love, I Got U). It seems that 2014 will have a big variety of No1.s and this is so cool. "The Man" and "She Looks So Perfect" don't sound like the rest. I hope we will see a rock/alternative song and a pop ballad as No.1 too.

Definitely preferring this over INAD. It's one of those tracks like Happy that will inevitably hang around for months.

Totally agree with most people I hated I Need a Dollar but love this track. Definitely gonna be a big hit.

I'm loving the variety in the charts this year as well. 2013 had lots of variety as well. I hope it continues for a long time, but no doubt after 5 years or so pop music will start dominating again...

Fingers crossed.

 

So so glad this song is looking to be #1 here this week, so catchy and a great use of the sample IMO.

This has been such a grower, going to be a great number 1 single.
