All three 'Halcyon Days' singles in the top 40 today then. I still quite like 'Burn' but it was never one of her best songs. It was her first ever #1 though :o

 

First time in a while it's been ahead of 'Wake Me Up', due to the BRITs boost of course.

Biography

Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster.

 

Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone.

 

Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. "All the Right Moves," the album's lead single, was released to radio that same month, while the entire album followed in November. In 2013, OneRepublic returned with its third studio album, Native, featuring the singles, "Feel Again" and "If I Lose Myself."

Burn is quite close to overtake "Your Song" as her most selling single..

 

I'd be glad for that, only because it means that a cover won't be her best selling song.

This song has made me love OneRepublic again, Its up there in my top 3 with Apologize and Secrets
Counting Stars :wub: Shame 'If I Lose Myself' hasn't done as well. I didn't expect it to go to #1, but expected it to do abit better than it has.

Biography

British pop outfit M.A.D. were formed in the summer of 2013 when school boys Dan Lewis, Michael Sutthakorn and Aiden Hancock successfully passed through auditions in London and became bandmates. Hailing from three corners of the U.K., Lewis from Bridgend, Sutthakorn from Belfast, and Hancock from Leeds, the trio had previously found a small amount of fame online in YouTube videos before coming together as M.A.D. In a matter of months after leaving school, the boy band — whose members all play guitar — had recorded and released their debut single, "Toyboy," which went into the U.K. Top 40 singles chart. - iTunes
