Looks like this has peaked then :( #14 is still good, I was hoping for a top 10 though.

 

Lay Me Down will probably return him to the top 10 if/when he releases that, it's a big hit in the waiting.

I think 'Liar Liar' could be a big hit!

I was in St. James's Park in London yesterday and some random kid ran up to me, took a selfie with me and disappeared. Is that a thing now?

He didn't rob me or anything?

Oh no, I feel like I'm gonna throw up :puke2:

 

 

OH WAIT, NEVER MIND! I'M FINE :cheer:

Biography

Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. 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

3 brilliant songs in a row. :dance:
#Selfie and Money On My Mind back to back. :( I find MONM very dull. I haven't listened to his next single yet, but I hope it's better than this.

"MONM" is much livelier than his next single, "Stay With Me", which is as Emeli Sande as you can imagine.

Biography

At the dawn of the new millennium, Enrique Iglesias was the best-selling Latin recording artist in the world. The son of multi-million-selling singer Julio Iglesias, Enrique was born in Madrid, Spain, where he lived with his mother, his brother Julio, and his sister Chabeli. In 1982, his mother sent them to live in Miami with their father. While there, Enrique was exposed to three different cultures and musical influences: Hispanic, European, and American.

 

Iglesias' own career started when he was still attending Gulliver Private School, a very prestigious school in Miami. He made his singing debut in a production of Hello, Dolly, after which he began practicing his singing without his parents knowing. After a year studying business at the University of Miami, he decided to follow his passion for music. In 1995, he sang in person for his soon-to-be manager, who at Iglesias' insistence of not wanting to use his family name, first shopped his demos as an unknown Central American singer named Enrique Martinez. It wasn't until he earned a record deal with Fonovisa that Enrique told his father and mother of his aspirations. Then he flew to Toronto, where no one knew him and he could concentrate just on music, to record for five months.

 

That first album, Enrique Iglesias (1995), sold more than a million copies in three months (it earned him his first gold record in Portugal in a mere seven days) and to date has sold more than six million worldwide. The second album, Vivir (1997), enjoyed global sales of more than five million discs and launched his first world tour, backed by sidemen for Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel. In a mere three years, Iglesias had sold more than 17 million Spanish-language albums, more than anyone else during that period. (The U.S. was his biggest market.) He also won the 1996 Grammy for Best Latin Performer, 1996's Billboard Artist of the Year, Billboard's Album of the Year for Vivir, two American Music Awards, a World Music Award, eight Premio Lo Nuestro awards, two ACE Performer of the Year awards, and ASCAP prizes for Best Composer of 1996 and 1997, in addition to countless accolades around the world.

 

With 1998's Cosas del Amor, Iglesias moved to more mature content; his earlier material had been written when he was 17 years old. Then came Enrique, his first Interscope album and first in English. It achieved gold or platinum status in 32 countries and brought his global album sales to a total of more than 23 million. In 2001 he released the follow-up, Escape. Iglesias alternated Spanish- and English-language albums during the next two years, first offering the ballad collection Quizás in 2002, then the mainstream English record 7 in 2003. Four years later the single "Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)" announced the coming of his 2007 album, Insomniac.

 

After a Spanish compilation in 2008, Enrique released Euphoria in 2010, which gained attention on the strength of the singles "I Like It" and "Heartbeat." Besides touring, he released three non-album singles in 2012. In 2013 he began to issue pre-release singles for his next full-length. There were four in all, three in collaboration with other artists — "Loco" (featuring Romeo Santos), "Heart Attack" and "El Perdedor" (featuring Marc Antonio Solís), and "I'm a Freak" (featuring Pitbull) — all of which charted. The album, Sex and Love, was released in March of 2014. - iTunes

Really? I would avoid releasing that. Infact I think Avicii should end the era after Lay Me Down, but if he has to release another song I'd go for Dear Boy

Dear Boy would be a good choice too, yeah.

How on earth is 'I'm a Freak' still as high as #11? I expected this to have a swift drop down the chart, like Flo Rida has had.

Was worried this would remain top 10 due to the last minute boost - yay for it not doing so. Though it'll probably re-enter next week <_<

 

Just crediting Tyga on 'Loyal' due to it being the video version (and now by far the most popular version on iTunes). Plus the fact that it doesn't have the tag 'East/West Coast Version' kind of indicates it's meant to be the 'main' version.

Really? I would avoid releasing that. Infact I think Avicii should end the era after Lay Me Down, but if he has to release another song I'd go for Dear Boy

 

Wasn't he planning to release every track on True as a single?!

(it's not)

 

 

"MONM" is much livelier than his next single, "Stay With Me", which is as Emeli Sande as you can imagine.

 

Thanks. I don't think I'll be in a rush to listen to it then.
