OMG, looking at her discography, I thought Since U Been Gone was a #1! :o

I like Kelly but I find this very overrated and actually a tad annoying :( One More Sleep is definitely the better new Xmas song this year.

Can't believe it that 'People Like Us' hasn't charted in top 100 at least :(

Biography

The Killers are an American rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2001, by Brandon Flowers (lead vocals, keyboards) and Dave Keuning (guitar, backing vocals). Mark Stoermer (bass, backing vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion) would complete the current line-up of the band in 2002. The name The Killers is derived from a logo on the bass drum of a fictitious band, portrayed in the music video for the New Order song "Crystal".

 

The group has released four studio albums, Hot Fuss (2004), Sam's Town (2006), Day & Age (2008) and Battle Born (2012) and sold more than 20 million albums.[4] They have also released one compilation album, Sawdust (2007) and one live album titled Live from the Royal Albert Hall (2009). A greatest hits compilation, Direct Hits was released on November 11, 2013. - Wikipedia

MR. BRIGHTSIDE :wub: Absolute classic. One of my favourite songs of all time. So happy to see this FINALLY getting a fourth week top 40.

Oh, Scott. Even you know this isn't back in the top 40 because of The Call Centre.

Mr Brightside - excellent to see this back

So happy Underneath the Tree made it Top 30.

Why is this back???

So so glad to see this back in the top 40 after 9 and a half years away!!

:w00t: 'Mr Brightside', such an all-time classic. :wub:

Mr Brightside is an absolute ANTHEM :wub: Will never get old!

Glorious to hear this in the chart :wub:

This is epic! :wub:

It's just the best song ever

Kelly's song was quite nice - a bit more 'classic Christmas cheese' than Leona's one really.

 

Mr Brightside :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: One good thing X Factor has done this year, hopefully they'll give us sales of it tonight!

Edited December 22, 201312 yr by Father Walrus

Kelly's >>>>>> Leona's, easily.

 

I do like both though.

The Killers are so overrated, one hot front man and a couple of half decent hits doesn't warrant all the praise they get.

Mr Brightside :wub: Yay for this going back in the chart, can't believe this is only its fourth week - very poor top 40 run compared to its top 200 run and classic status!

Why is this back???

 

The Killers performed it as well as Human on the X Factor :)
