March 2, 201412 yr I'm actually surprised that with album sales falling so much, no album has sold less than 10k at #1 since Rihanna in 2012! Was expecting it to become a much more common occurrence - though I'm sure we'll see another this year... I should think with Pharrell out tomorrow, and big releases from Kylie and George Michael and mothers day coming up album sales should pick up a little bit over the next few weeks or so.

For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artists at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. "Latch" hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, and many were surprised when his debut solo track took a more tempered path. The production on February 2013's "Lay Me Down" — also courtesy of the ordinarily dancefloor-focused duo Disclosure — recalled the stripped-back material that had proved successful for Adele in the preceding years. Next, Shahid Khan — aka Naughty Boy — decided to follow his Emeli Sandé-fronted U.K. Top Ten hit "Wonder" with the infectious, Bollywood sample-driven "La La La." Featuring Smith's powerful lead vocal, it became an instant May 2013 U.K. number one single following his spring tour in support of Sandé. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2012 11 Latch (Disclosure Feat.

March 2, 201412 yr Pharrell's last 7 weeks on Chart are symmetrical :o and I have no Idea how this song is so popular!! It is absolutely dreadful!! Edited March 2, 201412 yr by JSG
March 2, 201412 yr I'm really not a fan of the top 2 this week. :( I loved Latch and La La La but am not feeling this.
March 2, 201412 yr mildly interesting: Happy first went to #1 in the UK, Aus & NZ at about the same time 2 months ago, and now this week it's finally got there in the US, while it's amazingly still #1 in all of those places too, such a big hit!
March 2, 201412 yr He has done it.
