Great sales for 'Midnight Memories'! Both 'Best Song Ever' and 'Story Of My Life' have done a very good job setting the album up.

Of The Night :heart: Absolutely loving this!

YAY for 'Midnight Memories' :wub:

The more i hear this the more i LOATHE it. What were they thinking :/

 

Nowhere near as brooding as they think it is.

Of The Night is so limp. :(

Are you not counting Sing as an album then Bre (R1/OCC did at the time didn't they?).

'Of the Night' is fantastic. Wasn't keen on it originally, but it's SO good :wub: (Dan's voice :3)

Of The Night is so limp. :(

It helps if you were about in the 90s I think. Adore it!

This is the first Bastille single I've liked. It's a bit special, and feels so autumn-y :wub:

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

(21) One Direction-Don't Forget Where You Belong

 

This tune is pretty good from 1D and it will be released as a single with a music video to boot.

Are you not counting Sing as an album then Bre (R1/OCC did at the time didn't they?).

 

Didn't it block 'Fall To Grace' by Paloma Faith from #1? :(

Luckily not quite such a drop as the past two #1's!

It helps if you were about in the 90s I think. Adore it!

 

Yeah that would make sense actually, it does have that kinda vibe to it. I guess being born in 1997 doesn't really help. :kink:

 

G'WON LILY :wub: Somewhere Only We Know is gorgeous, even if I prefer Hard Out Here.

Edited December 1, 201312 yr by JosephStyles

Susan boyle must have had really good weekend sales to finish 9 after plummeting 7-11 in the midweeks

Didn't it block 'Fall To Grace' by Paloma Faith from #1? :(

 

Yes, Gary was number 1 for 3 weeks with it

 

Great to see Since I Saw You Last selling 116,000 copies

Still not liking 'Somewhere Only We Know'. So DULL. Would be better if 'Hard Out Here' was getting the success this was!
