January 19, 201412 yr Any re-entries or is the chart really that stale? :( 'Pompeii' should be a re-entry based on the mids (and the new entries will be Elyar Fox, Shakira, Tinie Tempah and Beyoncé). AKA yes the charts are that stale. Note that one of those new entries is a 2013 album track as well (EDIT: 2 of them even, 'BEYONCÉ' was of course also released in 2013)
January 19, 201412 yr Any re-entries or is the chart really that stale? :( I would say 2 of the 4 Jameela mentions are actually climbers from outside the top 40.

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 Chart history (Year peak title): 2006 01 Smile -1- 2006 06 LDN -2- 2006 21 Littlest Things -3- 2007 15 Alfie -4- 2007 08 Oh My God (Mark Ronson Feat.

January 19, 201412 yr Awww, gutted this is likely on its last week. Gorgeous cover. Not shocked it's on its way out though considering the advert's stopped playing (that kinda answers the post above which I didn't see til I submitted, also). Edited January 19, 201412 yr by JosephTheVamps
January 19, 201412 yr 2- DAY N NITE- Kid Cudi Vs Crookers (72,352)I hope I'm not the only one who prefers the original Day N Nite over the Crookers version? (Both are great of course)

January 19, 201412 yr "Actual Miley Cyrus" will be playing in London - as opposed to a fake Miley Cyrus?
January 19, 201412 yr Why do they insist on flogging this awful competition? Just get on with the chart!
January 19, 201412 yr "Actual Miley Cyrus" will be playing in London - as opposed to a fake Miley Cyrus? Some of the stuff Jameela says makes absolutely no sense. And you guys picked on Reggie? :lol: Edited January 19, 201412 yr by Akaniero

Pompeii (Kat Krazy Remix) 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.
