Thought last week would be the last for 'How Long Will I Love You' for sure - just about managing to scrape in again! Would like to see it manage a 20th week now but it can go after that.

Biography

English trio London Grammar combined sparse electronic pop in the model of the xx with dramatic, big-voiced lead singer Hannah Reid, whose vocals evoke contemporaries Florence Welch and Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes. Reid and guitarist Dan Rothman met in the dorms of Nottingham University where they began writing music together in 2009 and later added multi-instrumentalist Dot Major to complete the lineup. The following years saw them refine their sound with atmospheric electronics and subtle percussion and they often played to rooms of no more than ten people. Their popularity rose with the 2012 release of "Hey Now" which they uploaded to the internet and instantly found an online cult following. Their fans were not just in the U.K., but also on the other side of the world in Australia, where their self-released 2013 debut EP Metal & Dust reached the Top 5 of the iTunes chart. The same year they signed to Ministry of Sound and the single "Wasting My Young Years" appeared as the first release on the label. 2013 also saw them play a sold-out show at the Islington Assembly Hall and make an appearance at the Great Escape Festival in Brighton. - iTunes

Ooh, forgot this was still to come - only down 1 from the mids! :wub: Gorgeous song, so happy (but surprised) to see it making the top 40.

Glad to see that this made the top 40 as it's on NOW 87 so not a complete flop then!

 

Only my second listen of this, but the vocals are stunning just like on Strong. ^_^

Haven't got around to hearing the remix yet but do like this song and happy to hear London Grammar in the top 40 again. :wub:
Happy to see London Grammar get another Top 40 hit! :D The Arty Remix of 'Hey Now' is immense!
First time hearing this. It sounds quite nice!
Glad Hey Now has made the top 40! :heart:

I found their cover of Wrecking Ball and fell in love with them. That voice gives me chills!
I was afraid this missed out because I didn't think it'd be any higher than #38 for some reason. Great that they have a third top 40 hit :D.
I still prefer Wasting My Young Years & Strong to be honest. :angel:
