January 5, 201412 yr Drunk In Love :wub: Her album really is stunning, hopefully this is huge! And I aint no Beyoncé fan either. I think the label are pushing XO as the official single.
January 5, 201412 yr Very reminiscent of Rihanna's 'Pour It Up' (but thankfully a tiny bit more bearable than that). Actually, it's almost like a cross between that and Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse'.
January 5, 201412 yr Having missed most of last week's chart, this is my first listen of Drunk In Love. I'm not a Beyonce fan but this is sounding good, it's nice to hear some hip-hop beats in the chart.
January 5, 201412 yr This song sounds quite different for Beyonce. Almost Massive Attack-esque! I like.
January 5, 201412 yr This does sound a bit like 'Pour It Up' actually. Growing on me. They really need to just scrap 'XO' ASAP (if they haven't already).

Hurts - Under Control [D] http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/v4/ae/59/c7/ae59c790-a447-633e-da1e-302b02e0b210/886444257138.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 1-4-11-17-20-26 [6 wks] Release date: 24-11-2013 Format: digital single Label: Columbia Sales: 100k+ Video here: yZqmarGShxg Biography Favoring a naughty schoolboy look that makes him seem even younger than his already tender years (22 when his first major-label album was released), Scottish artist, producer, and remixer Calvin Harris has a similarly youthful and forward-looking approach to his music. Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through MySpace and similar sites, to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. A short time later, he was producing material for Kylie Minogue, Dizzee Rascal, and Rihanna. Born on January 17, 1984, in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as a 12" club single and CD-EP by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. With that single to his credit, the still teenaged Harris moved from Scotland to London, but as a very small fish in one of the world's largest and most competitive ponds, Harris floundered; only one of his songs was released during his time in London, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2. Returning home to Dumfries, Harris began posting homemade solo recordings to his MySpace page. An A&R representative from EMI liked what he heard and signed Harris to the label in 2006. Following a pair of successful singles, Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007. It featured two Top Ten hits ("Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls"), and climbed high in the album charts. Along with his work as a solo artist, including touring in front of a full live band, Harris quickly became an in-demand remixer — working on singles by Jamiroquai, Groove Armada, All Saints, and CSS. He also wrote and produced songs for Kylie Minogue's 2007 comeback album, and collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on "Dance wiv Me," which reached number one in the U.K. "I'm Not Alone," the first single from his second album, also hit number one upon release in April 2009, as did the album when it appeared that August. That album, Ready for the Weekend, topped the U.K. album chart and peaked at number 12 on Billboard's U.S. dance/electronic chart. Through 2011, Harris took on production work for Example, Tinchy Stryder, and Rihanna ("We Found Love," a quadruple-platinum hit in the U.S.), while he also issued two more of his own singles (the Kelis collaboration "Bounce" and "Feel So Close"). Harris' third solo album, 18 Months, was a collaboration-filled affair that featured "We Found Love" and "Bounce" plus vocal spots from Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch, and Ne-Yo, among others. It was released in October of 2012. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Calvin Harris 2007 10 Acceptable In The 80s -1- 2007 03 The Girls -2- 2007 43 Merrymaking At My Place -3- 2008 01 Dance Wiv Me (Dizzee Rascal Featuring Calvin Harris And Chrome) 2009 01 I'm Not Alone -1- 2009 03 Ready For The Weekend (Calvin Harris Feat.

January 5, 201412 yr Another fall for Calvin this week as expected, but as it's back in the Top 15 on itunes at the moment, it will hopefully climb or hold up next week.
January 5, 201412 yr Very reminiscent of Rihanna's 'Pour It Up' So that's probably why I like it :P (Pour It Up :wub:) Ouch at Under Control, what a bad chart run for a #1 single. Shame, because the song is very good.

Childhood friends Jordan "Rizzle" Stevens and Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule first started making music together in 2008 on the Minor Breaches of Discipline mixtape, which saw the pair rapping over samples of tracks by Lily Allen, Gorillaz, and Arctic Monkeys. Compared to the likes of De La Soul and Dream Warriors, their laid-back production and humorous non-confrontational rhymes earned them a deal with Universal Records, and in 2011 they released their debut single, "Prophet (Better Watch It)," followed by "Down with the Trumpets," which eventually reached number eight in the U.K. charts. Following a guest appearance on X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs' chart-topping single "Heart Skips a Beat," support slots with Professor Green, the Streets, and Dizzee Rascal, and a remix of Ed Sheeran's "You Need Me, I Don't Need You," they were invited by Take That's Gary Barlow to appear in his Children in Need charity supergroup alongside the likes of N-Dubz, Wretch 32, and Ms. Dynamite. Following three MOBO nominations for Best Newcomer and U.K. Hip-Hop/Grime Act and Video, their debut album, Stereo Typical, was released at the end of 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2011 08 Down With The Trumpets -1- 2011 01 Heart Skips A Beat (Olly Murs Feat.

January 5, 201412 yr 'Under Control' has done very well for a promo single though. Are you sure it's a promo single? Is it not on Alesso or Calvin's upcoming albums?
January 5, 201412 yr Are you sure it's a promo single? Is it not on Alesso or Calvin's upcoming albums? No, it's just something that I've said a few times hoping for a funny response from someone taking me seriously. (thermo level wit)
January 5, 201412 yr 'Under Control' has done very well for a promo single though. Wait, do you mean Drunk In Love?
