This is a rather pleasant song, one of his best actually. Not normally fussed with Olly but I've liked all singles from this album bar Army of Two.

Boom! I so couldn't think of one.

 

Now, which one is like eyes then?!

Yellow?

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

It's crazy how huge this has continued to be! I much prefer You Make Me but this is better than Hey Brother.

Loving the longevity of 'Wake Me Up'. :wub:

Still liking Wake Me Up, can't believe it's still this high up though. :lol: I Could Be The One is better IMO.

I'm getting a bit bored with this now, I do like "Hey Brother"

I'm wondering whether Aloe Blacc still needs a dollar? :unsure: :P

'Wake Me Up' remains absolutely fantastic :wub: Definitely Avicii's best!

Biography

Robert Peter "Robbie" Williams (born 13 February 1974) is an English singer-songwriter, and occasional actor. He is a member of the pop group Take That, but has found greater commercial success as a solo artist.

 

Williams rose to fame in the band's first run in the early- to mid-1990s. After many disagreements with the management and group members, Williams left the group in 1995 to launch a hugely successful solo career, which saw his first seven albums each reach number one in the UK. Williams also released seven number-one singles and found similar success across Europe. On 15 July 2010, it was announced he had rejoined Take That. The group's subsequent album became the second fastest-selling album in UK chart history and the fastest-selling record of the century so far. He continues to perform both as a member of Take That and as a solo artist.

 

Williams has sold over 70 million records worldwide, which ranks him among the best-selling music artists worldwide. He is the best-selling British solo artist in the United Kingdom and the best selling non-Latino artist in Latin America. Six of his albums are among the top 100 biggest-selling albums in the United Kingdom, and in 2006 he entered the Guinness Book of World Records for selling 1.6 million tickets of his Close Encounters Tour in a single day. He has also been honoured with seventeen BRIT Awards—more than any other artist—and seven ECHO Awards. In 2004, he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame after being voted as the "Greatest Artist of the 1990s." Williams is married to actress Ayda Field. He has a net worth of £105.2 million. - Wikipedia

Jamila just called Robbie Williams a golden oldie.

 

This is a great track from Robbie. :) I wonder how Dream A Dream will do? I reckon even though the single version won't feature Lily Allan, it'll still do well from cherry pickers.

Can't get into this track. I like Shine My Shoes better but nothing from this era excites me

The studio version of this is quite shockingly WORSE than the X Factor performance (or at least more irritating, anyway).

'Go Gentle' is absolutely amazing and effortless. I never saw myself liking it as much as I would. Maybe my favourite song in the top 40 at the moment. :wub: :D

Meh, this is pretty boring IMO, was hardly gonna be my thing anyway though.

This is a great track from Robbie. :) I wonder how Dream A Dream will do? I reckon even though the single version won't feature Lily Allan, it'll still do well from cherry pickers.

 

Radio 2 are playlisting the version with Lily though, so I don't see how she wouldn't be featured?

AWOLNATION coming for that top 20 :wub:
