Brilliant - American Authors made it. It'll probably make the top 10 within about 3 weeks. Has "Best Day..." got much airplay?

 

It's on the Radio 1 playlist. I'd imagine XFM are playing it too, but not too sure on that!

Why are you complaining about Ellie's single choices?... the album is #2 and selling constantly well. This era is far from over.

It just feels too forced, WOAH-OH. Maybe I'd like it more in a pre-Imagine Dragons time :P

First listen - very Imagine Dragons-esque. Chorus seems to be a huge letdown though.

Edited February 16, 201412 yr by noahspike

'Best Day Of My Life' is just a slightly better version of 'On Top Of The World'. Kinda funny that Jameela was talking about Imagine Dragons more than American Authors in that intro :lol: But really 'sounds like Imagine Dragons' is all you can say about them.

I've grown to DETEST some songs of this formula, but this is shamefully growing on me. Sounds particularly good with the sun shining.

This is very generic.

This has been on an advert, no?

This song has zero originality to it, a direct copy of Imagine Dragons.

Seriously! I know people are mistaking it for Imagine Dragons too. What a ridiculous strategy for a new band.

Nice brushing over The Irish Brigade there. They'll probably play more of it in the recap later than they did just now :lol:

 

I do see why they're not playing it though, the song itself is even more controversial than 'Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead'.

So it did get skipped then, not surprising.

yep! Center Parcs

Aha! Thought so. Thanks Mikey :D

Ooh, Jameela sounded really awkward playing Irish Brigade, even though we only got 4 seconds of it. Wrong decision not to play it, I feel.

What's Irish Brigade

Why are you complaining about Ellie's single choices?... the album is #2 and selling constantly well. This era is far from over.

 

Exactly, she's lucky enough that it won't affect her too greatly that this won't do much, but it's really baffling when she has 'Stay Awake' and maybe even 'You My Everything' (although I guess that would make it two ballads in a row).

 

Or yes, I like the suggestion of re-releasing 'Figure 8'. Her best by far and it deserved more, and probably would have got it if her name was as hot as it is now.
