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 16, 201412 yr This Pixie Lott era is going to be interesting... She's been both fantastic ('Broken Arrow', 'Cry Me Out', 'Turn it Up' 'Gravity', 'What Do You Take Me For') to the horrific ('Kiss The Stars'). Although 'Nasty' isn't her best song, it's pretty down the middle and does sound like a hit IMO. 'Heart Cry' is really good IMO! -- I never got into this Sam Smith track :(
March 16, 201412 yr Last night I learned 'Money On My Mind' fails the "is it good when you're drunk?" test.
March 16, 201412 yr Money On My Mind has had the same chart run as Call My Name and Tulisa's Young so far Yes, very random observation

Nicknamed Pixie by her mother, she first began singing in church. Later, Lott attended an arts school and appeared in several West End musical productions. One of her early demo recordings eventually caught the ear of producer L.A. Reid, who signed her to Island Def Jam Records when she was just 15 years old. However, songs posted to her MySpace page began drawing even more industry attention, and a bidding war ensued. Lott ultimately left Island, partnering instead with Mercury in the U.K. and Interscope in the United States. Her debut album, Turn It Up, was released in 2009 and became a hit in the U.K., where it reached platinum status on the strength of five consecutive Top 20 singles (including a pair of chart-topping hits, "Mama Do [uh Oh, Uh Oh]" and "Boys and Girls"). Lott released her second album, the soul-inflected Young Foolish Happy, in November of 2011. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2009 01 Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) -1- 2009 41 Use Somebody -B side- 2009 01 Boys And Girls -2- 2009 12 Cry Me Out -3- 2010 20 Gravity -4- 2010 11 Turn It Up -5- 2010 12 Broken Arrow -6- 2010 51 Coming Home (Pixie Lott Feat.

March 16, 201412 yr SMASH. (I actually quite like this song but the video annoys me, her constantly smiling while singing pisses me off for some reason)
March 16, 201412 yr Although techincally this is just an Xtina rip-off, I cannot help but like it, so catchy and infectious. However, that run near the end is just dreadful!
March 16, 201412 yr Oh Gawd, the only thing I can say to this is: :/ (I feel I'll be using this quite a bit for these new entries)
March 16, 201412 yr 11th top 20 consecutive single for Pixie :cheer: Edited March 16, 201412 yr by Let Go For 2nite
March 16, 201412 yr Last night I learned 'Money On My Mind' fails the "is it good when you're drunk?" test. A hard test to fail I would have thought?! Although 'Nasty' would still fail I was unconscious. Money On My Mind has had the same chart run as Call My Name and Tulisa's Young so far Yes, very random observation Ooooh, great observation!
March 16, 201412 yr I like it, I hate the guy on the intro tho, but I am always walking about hitting out with 'N-A-S-T-Y Your Nasty' and then the 'Share your nasty secrets baby, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'
March 16, 201412 yr Surprised Pixie's still managing top ten hits, I thought her irrelevance would have run out completely by now. This song has a 90s vibe to it, but not in a good way. That said, I did buy the EP because I love Pixie and wanted the 3 b-sides :lol:
