December 1, 201312 yr How on PLANET EARTH is it fair to exclude the biggest selling songs of the week from the chart?! :manson: :manson: Obviously because neither 'You & I' or 'Don't Forget Where You Belong' are actually amongst the 40 biggest selling songs of the week!
December 1, 201312 yr Whats going on with Robbies next single? Missed this! He's re-recording Dream a Little Dream for the next single which will remove Lily Allen who appears on the album version!

December 1, 201312 yr 16 (from 12) OneRepublic - Counting Stars [D] http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N2PxHFr4L._AA160_.jpg Chart Run: 43-30-20-17-13-2-4-3-1-3-1-3-5-6-11-12-16 [17 wks] Release Date: 22-03-2013 Format: download only track Label: polydor associated labels Sales: 600k+ Video here: hT_nvWreIhg Biography Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster. Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone. Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. "All the Right Moves," the album's lead single, was released to radio that same month, while the entire album followed in November. In 2013, OneRepublic returned with its third studio album, Native, featuring the singles, "Feel Again" and "If I Lose Myself."

December 1, 201312 yr The Spark was decent, nothing all that special. Counting Stars is still sounding good, can't believe it's been this big :o
December 1, 201312 yr He's re-recording Dream a Little Dream for the next single which will remove Lily Allen who appears on the album version! Ah thanks :D
December 1, 201312 yr They are not among the 40 best selling songs of the week. Surely they are, otherwise they wouldn't be in the chart.
December 1, 201312 yr They need to push out a new single fairly soon-ish to try and get a hit off the back of Counting Stars' success/momentum!
December 1, 201312 yr Surely they are, otherwise they wouldn't be in the chart. Guessing you haven't been following iTunes this week?
December 1, 201312 yr Surely they are, otherwise they wouldn't be in the chart. facepalm to end all facepalms Why do you think we're having this discussion? The whole point is this isn't the case.

December 1, 201312 yr Surely they are, otherwise they wouldn't be in the chart. No, the OCC have missed an iTunes error at the start of the week.
December 1, 201312 yr 'Look Right Through' is actually alright! Heard it a few times on Capital in the car this week. Not terrible, but not AMAZING.
December 1, 201312 yr No, the OCC have missed an iTunes error at the start of the week. I don't think they missed it at all. They seemed to have accidentally been treated as instant grat tracks but seeing as the album was out, this counted to the chart. I doubt they're able to distinguish between what is "real" and what isn't, and they can't just disqualify it entirely...
