Biography

The neo-synth pop group Bastille were formed in London, England in 2010. Originally the solo project of singer/songwriter Dan Smith, Bastille expanded to a quartet after he decided to form a band and got some of his friends involved. The band attracted a lot of attention after putting a few tracks online, leading to support slots at major U.K. festivals like Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight. While their lush, heavily '80s-inspired melodies, anthemic choruses, and literate, emotionally raw lyrics, delivered in Smith’s swooping voice, undoubtedly appealed to kids weaned on the sounds of La Roux and Florence + the Machine, at least part of the hype was due to the flagrantly copyright-breaching videos that Smith, an ardent film buff, edited together out of footage from old movies like Terrence Malick’s Badlands. Eventually they secured a deal with hip indie label Young and Lost Club and released their debut 7” single, Flaws/Icarus, in July 2011. This was followed later that year by Laura Palmer EP, named for the teenaged murder victim in David Lynch’s cult '90s TV series Twin Peaks; the creepy accompanying video for the track “Overjoyed” was also heavily inspired by the series. The group returned in 2013 with their debut album Bad Blood. ~ John D. Buchanan, Rovi / iTunes

Of the Night :wub: :heart:

Leona has now officially broken the record for most top 5 hits by a British female! :cheer:

Oh lord this Bastille song too :manson:

 

Every Jason Derulo interview I've heard recently just ends up being a conversation about Jordin Sparks. :lol:

Yeah he does like to repeatedly re-affirm that... Wonder why :o

 

 

Charlie Sloth should present the chart show one day. It'd be so funny. :lol:

Still bloody adore this.

4 climbers in the top 5 then!

 

Must be rare for there to only be one song sticking from the previous week's top 5 with none of the others being new entries.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this Bastille song to be like this! :o

So... where does the Beyoncé album enter? So excited!

Gonna do a top 5 prediction this week seeing as it's quite a close week:

 

01 Lily

02 Avicii

03 Leona

04 Pharrell

05 Ellie

 

Anyone think anything different?

Beyonce's album will chart, right? Sold 430K in the US Friday, I'm hoping for a big surprise here as well!

I agree (Ben and I were just discussing this and this was my prediction).

And this week's geeky fact of the week award goes to... :lol:

 

Truly an honour :cheer:

 

Yay for Trumpets making the top 10. It's grown on me a lot this week ^_^ What Katy Perry song does Jordin's bra remind him of though?

 

I was wondering this as well. Maybe the cream-squirting bra she wears in the California Gurls video? :P

Leona has now officially broken the record for most top 5 hits by a British female! :cheer:

 

 

No she hasn't. She has 10 now but Dusty Springfield, also British, has 11. Just checked Polyphex. If we don't count her song with PSB then she ties with Leona now.

6,000 copies between the top 4? :o

Woo! Amazing achievement!

Oh my at Beyoncé entering at no5 in the albums - hope outside of the top 3 this doesn't indicate sales are fairly poor?!

Beyonce already at #5 with only a few days of sales :o Should easily go to #1 soon if not next week.

 

Yay for Robbie knocking 1D off #1 :cheer:

Happy to see Robbie back at #1 on the album chart. :w00t: Hope he can stay there for Christmas Number 1 album next week!

Something isn't a spoiler if it's already on the OCC's website, right?
