Video here: v0Gu_Yh_keE Biography Although Trey Songz loved hip-hop while growing up, the only R&B he could get into was R. Kelly. When his friends heard his perfect tenor voice, however, they pushed him to drop rap and start crooning. Trey did just that, and after winning numerous talent shows in his native Petersburg, Virginia, the 15-year-old singer met Troy Taylor, who had worked behind the scenes with such artists as Patti LaBelle, SWV, and B2K. Taylor encouraged Trey to finish high school first, and then they could talk about a possible music career. Trey received his diploma and immediately moved to New Jersey to work with Taylor. Soon, the singer was appearing on Kevin Lyttle's debut album and Trick Daddy's Thug Matrimony as a sideman, as well as striking out on his own with "About the Game," a solo cut from the Coach Carter soundtrack. As he was working on his debut album — not to mention several collaborations with Lil' Kim, Trina, and Snoop Dogg — Trey Songz released some street-level mixtapes under his alias, the Prince of Virginia. His proper debut, I Gotta Make It, was released by Atlantic Records in 2005, and his sophomore effort, Trey Day, charted at number 11 upon its release in 2007. In 2009 the single "I Need a Girl" helped to make Ready his first album with an RIAA gold certification. In the summer of 2010 his track "Already Taken" landed on the Step Up 3D soundtrack, while his collaborative single with rapper Nicki Minaj, "Bottoms Up," was released to promote that year's Passion, Pain & Pleasure, issued in September. "Bottoms Up," as well as the album's three following singles, reached the Top Ten of the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The five-track EP Inevitable was issued in November 2011 as a stopgap prior to the singer's fifth album, Chapter V. An August 2012 release, Chapter V arrived with appearances from T.I., Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Diddy. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2005 47 Girl Tonite (Twista Feat.

March 23, 201412 yr I already keep forgetting this song exists - Trey Songz isn't awful but his songs are all just so forgettable. The jokes about this song write themselves.
March 23, 201412 yr Counting Stars is only 5 weeks off Ho Hey's record for weeks in the top 40! :o But what makes Ho Hey's run so bizarre is that it only peaked at #8 and didn't stay more than three weeks (I think) in the top 10 whereas Counting Stars was #1 and it's kind of natural for chart-topping singles to have long runs.

March 23, 201412 yr First time hearing this, and I have to say it's not that great! :( Will be in no rush to listen to it again!
March 23, 201412 yr Not a fan of 'Sodium Sodium' :no: How has this done so well, I haven't seen any hype for it anywhere other than its presence on the chart
March 23, 201412 yr I'm still confused how "Simply Amazing" managed to go top 10. It's just bizarre and the song is so forgettable. Shame "Bottoms Up" couldn't of had its success.
March 23, 201412 yr But what makes Ho Hey's run so bizarre is that it only peaked at #8 and didn't stay more than three weeks (I think) in the top 10 whereas is a Counting Stars was #1 and it's kind of natural for chart-topping singles to have long runs. Although that gives Ho Hey the advantage that it need not accumulate as many sales to do so. Not a fan of 'Sodium Sodium' :no: How has this done so well, I haven't seen any hype for it anywhere other than its presence on the chart :lol: Edited March 23, 201412 yr by Dircadirca

March 23, 201412 yr Trey Songz has to be one of the biggest non-entities in urban music right now - I'm not even a particular fan of the genre, but THIS just takes the piss.

They had an early hit with "Being Boiled", then achieved greater fame after a membership change in 1980. Dare (1981), the band's most popular album, yielded the single "Don't You Want Me", a No. 1 hit in the pop charts of UK, US and many other countries. The song is seen as the beginning of the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US. Other international hits include: "Love Action", "Open Your Heart", "Mirror Man", "Fascination", "The Lebanon", "Human" (a US No. 1) and "Tell Me When". The only constant band member since 1977 is vocalist and songwriter Philip Oakey. Originally an avant-garde all-male synthesizer-based group, The Human League evolved into a commercially successful synthpop band under Oakey's leadership. Since 1987, the band has essentially been a trio of Oakey and long-serving female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley (both of whom joined the ensemble in 1980), with various sidemen. Since 1978, The Human League have released nine studio albums, four EPs, 30 singles and several compilation albums. They have had five albums and eight singles in the UK Top 10 and have sold more than 20 million records. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): 1980 56 Holiday 80 EP -EP- 1980 62 Empire State Human -1- 1981 48 Boys And Girls -1- 1981 12 The Sound Of The Crowd -1- 1981 03 Love Action (I Believe In Love -2- 1981 06 Open Your Heart -3- 1981 01 Don't You Want Me -4- MILLION SELLER 1982 06 Being Boiled (1982 re-issue) 1982 46 Holiday 80 EP (1982 re-issue) 1982 02 Mirror Man -1- 1983 02 (Keep Feeling) Fascination -2- 1984 11 The Lebanon -1- 1984 16 Life On Your Own -2- 1984 13 Louise -3- 1986 08 Human -1- 1986 72 I Need Your Loving -2- 1988 41 Love Is All That Matters -3- 1990 29 Heart Like A Wheel -1- 1995 06 Tell Me When -1- 1995 13 One Man In My Heart -2- 1995 36 Feeling Up With Heaven -3- 1995 16 Don't You Want Me (1995 re-issue) -1- 1996 40 Stay With Me Tonight -2- 2001 47 All I Ever Wanted -1- Aberdeen fans score Human League hit
