Biography

Australian indie folk singer/songwriter Vance Joy began his career playing the Melbourne open-mike scene at the end of the 2000s while completing his law degree. Finding success with his intimate, Bon Iver-influenced songs, Joy decided to put law on hold and pursue a music career instead. Born James Keogh, the singer took the name Vance Joy from a character Peter Carey's novel Bliss in order to better separate his personal and professional life. As his reputation grew, he began working with a manager, booking bigger shows around town and eventually recorded his debut EP God Loves You When You're Dancing. His catchy folk-pop single "Riptide" was an immediate success in Australia and eventually led him to sign a lengthy multi-album deal with Atlantic Records. In 2013, Joy began touring internationally and recording his first album for Atlantic. - iTunes

 

Chart history (Year peak title):

 

2014 18 Riptide -NAS-

(and probably #1 in the US).

 

Well that's a given.

 

However it's not unknown to Katy fans any more, more of a fan favourite tbh, so wonder why it hasn't yet charted.. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

How did this fall from #13 on Friday despite being consistently quite high on iTunes? Was that an error in Friday's report?

 

Hopefully top 10 next week anyway.

Peak and weeks on the chart

Actually no: this week, last week and weeks on chart :heehee:

go million maith agat, in irish if you want.

 

Go *raibh* míle maith agat, right? :P

 

What's Jameela's obsession with adding 'actual' to artist's names.

 

Because she's one of us/ down to earth and relatable/ gets starstruck meeting famous people like her listeners do etc. :P

Australian songs have improved a lot in the last years..We listen many good songs with high quality every year.

Oops! I need new chart info orientation beforehand :P

Yeah, it didn't really fall on iTunes?

Well done to Vance Joy going top 20. How high do we think this will go? Here's hoping top 5.

 

Maybe it'll do a Ho Hey. ;)

I feel this could peak higher here than in Australia (because our radio is so lousy at promoting new music :P), 12 places to go :P

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
