It's another Vamps-Mcfly-One Direction heard it all before, blandfest that will only appeal to teenage girls with nothing better to do than go on about how 'fit' the band members are......yawn :rolleyes:

 

Sadly the single is now up to number 15 on preorder and the EP is number one :puke: so looks like another top 3 travesty! I know I'm being harsh but its just so tedious now that every recent boy band just adds nothing more to the genre but still get hit records...and they have got a stupid name...

 

On the other hand, go Lana!! (Even though I've not heard it yet!!) end on a positive :)

 

 

I agree but i suppose thats what these commercial pop bands are aimed at and have done since the start of the charts - they find 4/5 good looking people who may or may not be able to sing and market them writing their songs. Its not like theyve had to go out and trawl through half empty pubs doing gigs trying to get noticed like alot of real bands.

 

The only good thing is that they come up with really good catchy songs if Sycho put any efort into them. Good thing is their lifespan is 4 years max of uptempo pop songs in summer, then a second november single which is seasonal and slower & then an album release (always near xmas to make money). After 3 years of this its greatest hits and farewell tour here we come and it goes on.....

Record of the Day on radio 1 - Example Kids Again

 

Proof they haven't quite given up on him yet! :P

I'll be very surprised if Example does anything, regardless of if they're still supporting him for whatever reason.

 

It's a lot weaker than his last single which flopped.

Yeah he will be added to the playlist this week or next - not out until 17/3. Though it typical example nothing different!

Most of his singles last about 3-6 weeks in the top 40 only, a combination of excessively pent up demand and people not actually liking his songs or him any longer!

Shakira & Rihanna 15

Imagine Dragons - Demons 31

Lorde - Team 37

U2 - Invisible (RED) 43

James Blunt – Heart to Heart 44

Ellie Goulding - Goodness Gracious 56

Lana Del Rey - Once upon a Dream 58

Red Hot Chilli Pipers - Wake Me Up 88

Sean Paul - Want Dem All 93 (so after a couple of hits Sean is back to flopping). Good!

 

Pre order

A Great Big World ft Christina Aguilera - Say Something 105 (rising quicker now the official release is around the corner).

Yeah, can't really see him getting another Top 10 hit again tbh. It's a shame though cos he was great around the CTWYKM era.

For me he pretty much immediately lost it after that single, with the exceptions of 'Natural Disaster' and 'All The Wrong Places' he's been dire since then.

I dunno, I really liked 'Close Enemies' even though pretty much no one else did :lol:

I like Close Enemies. Didn't expect it to perform so poorly tbh. I reckon Kids again might scrape top 20 imo.

Thing about artists like Example they reach a peak then fall from grace because their musical style is quite samey but i suppose Calvin Harris is the same, though his first album was unique now his recent stuff is very similar and all the same apart from the celebrity feature!

Well he got another #1 with Stay Awake just after CTWYKM even though that is such a non-number 1. Who remembers it? No one. I do like it though, much prefer it to CTWYKM

I don't even remember how it goes! I just remember that lyric about chasing the rabbit to wonderland. It was incredibly bland IMO and clearly only got to #1 because of his name, dropped out of the top 40 in about a month.

 

'Say Nothing' was even worse.

Why is everyone hating on example? I like the way he combines rap with different dance genres, such as

All the wrong places being rave inspired

I quite like a few of his songs so I'm not hating, I just think he's been mostly shit since his peak about 3 years ago.

 

He blocked me on Twitter last year, which is a shame as he was quite fun to troll. :lol:

5 Seconds of Summer pre-order 17 & 27

 

This is pretty generic but it's not band for a boy-band :unsure: #11 combined on pre-order + #1 on the albums chart, so it should be a #1!

For the other topic about Example, I still love him :wub: He's super awesome, but I am still pissed he canceled his tour, I was so hyped :angry:

I heard Stay Awake in the gym recently.

Red Hot Chilli Pipers - Wake Me Up 88

 

Ah, so much for New Year's Eve being the only day of the year Red Hot Chilli Pipers can make the iTunes top 100! I heard this version of 'Wake Me Up' on R1 the other day, it's actually surprisingly decent.

Looks like this '5 Seconds Of Summer' thing is going to do a 'Can We Dance' rather than a 'Toyboy' (the M.A.D song in case people have already forgotten that). Must not judge it before hearing it but I just cannot imagine a song called 'She Looks So Perfect' by a boyband being anything other than awful.
