~ I'm quite shoe ~ that you never knew ~

 

Don't mind this now TBH, not sure I'd listen out of choice but it's nice on the chart each week.

Lily put out her new single at the same time as 'Somewhere Only We Know'. It peaked at No.9 back in December. She should have held it back until the new year.

I am aware of that. I was suggesting she released another new single as 'Hard Out Here' was overshadowed by SOWK.

 

Yay for Storm Queen re-overtaking 'Move' :wub:

She is releasing a new song this week called Air Balloon so that answers your wish :P

 

Is it being released OA/OS?

2-1-4-1-1-6-6-16-30

 

^ This is the kind of chart run we need more of! Songs dropping out the chart promptly after making their mark, rather than hanging around for months longer.

 

And I think it was the first time a track did a 1-4-1.

Biography

Ellie Goulding is a British vocalist whose music finds the balance between electro-pop and indie folk. Born in Hereford, England, she later moved to the country's east coast to study drama at the University of Kent. Goulding had developed a love for folk music as a teenager, and her time at University also exposed her to electronica. After two years, she took a break from her studies and moved to West London, where she pursued a career as an alternative singer/songwriter and befriended producers like Starsmith and Frankmusik, who gave her songs an electro-pop twist. In 2009, Goulding began building an audience via the internet, where early tracks like "Starry Eyed" and a cover of Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold" were posted on taste-making MP3 blogs such as Discodust. Goulding soon graduated from the blogosphere to print media, gaining praise from mainstream publications like The Guardian and fielding offers from record labels. She ultimately signed a major-label deal with Polydor Records and began making preparations to release her debut album. In the meantime, she penned songs for Diana Vickers, Gabriella Climi, and others.

 

During the final weeks of 2009, Goulding topped the BBC's "Sound of 2010," a poll conducted by British music critics and industry insiders to identify new talent. Building on that momentum, she released Lights — a sparkling debut album that splashed Goulding's vocal flutter across a landscape of acoustic and synthesized instruments — in March 2010. Lights topped the U.K. charts during its first week and spun off a Top Five single, "Starry Eyed," which also charted well in Ireland and New Zealand. Later that year, the album was re-released as Bright Lights, featuring seven new recordings (including a cover of Elton John's "Your Song," which peaked at number two). In 2012, Goulding returned with her sophomore album, Halcyon, which showcased an even more sonically adventurous, electro-pop-infused sound. In 2013, a deluxe reissue featuring ten extra songs was released, entitled Halcyon Days, it acted as supplement to the original release. ~ Andrew Leahey & Jason Birchmeier, Rovi / iTunes

2013 really was an incredible year for Ellie! I wonder how her new one will do.

So completely sick of Burn now.

 

I do like the song, but it surprises me that such a basic song has done quite so well ... its nothing special.

But how many #1's had she had prior to this?!!! :P

Impressive chart run for 'Burn', never gets old! :D

I really wish Ellie and her two songs in the chart would piss off. So so sick of her overexposure.

Burn is good, but hopefully Goodness Gracious can be a hit soon.

Burn :wub: My favourite Ellie track now.

But how many #1's had she had prior to this?!!! :P

Let's see if Jameela tells us :D

Is it being released OA/OS?

 

Not sure, the articles I've read haven't mentioned the on sale thing.

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

Let's see if Jameela tells us :D

 

Oh well......she may tell us how many Number 1's she's had in the extraordinary long chart career later when she plays HLWILY :lol:

Edited January 12, 201412 yr by gavindeejay

Massive drop for 'Somewhere Only We Know'. Although it's to be expected without the ad playing anymore! And 'Burn' just refuses to get old! :wub:

I bought Ellie's album at my local HMV for 4.99 last week.

I went to Tesco and next to Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow (7.00) they were selling Sam Bailly's Cd SINGLE for 4.00. OK, it was for charity but really.....No wonder it's dying in the chart!

Did you count other songs combined versions too? (And other download sites?) :D

No, but at the beginning of the week it was top 30 combined, and is still 36 unless I'm missing something... I'm not too bothered as the song had a great run, just a little surprised as I was expecting to hear it once more on the chart :P
