March 30, 201412 yr I remember that KIG song (in the 2009 new entries retro). I was so convinced that it would go to #1.
March 30, 201412 yr I remember that KIG song (in the 2009 new entries retro). I was so convinced that it would go to #1. It was a pretty rubbish song, but I can't be too unkind to it - like a lot of tracks from 2009, it brings back memories of my final year at school :wub:
March 30, 201412 yr I'd love Changes to go to #1, although given the gap between them and 5 Seconds of Talent has increased since the midweeks, they'll probably end up #3 or 4.
March 30, 201412 yr A question for the chart geeks - who was the last artist to debut in the top 40 singles for the first time after having a #1 album? PNAU have done it this week (admittedly both times have been collaborations).
March 30, 201412 yr I had no idea that the KIG song went top 20 in 2009! I thought it flopped. I remember seeing it on the music channels all the time and it was so many people's ringtones in year 7... :lol: Edited March 30, 201412 yr by Jade

She is the daughter of Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Allen abandoned school when she was 15 and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. In 2005, she made some of her recordings public on Myspace and the publicity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio One and a contract with Regal Recordings. Her first mainstream single, "Smile", reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received, selling over 2.6 million copies worldwide and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three. Her second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was well received by critics, noting the singer's musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "f*** You", popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that has seen five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" nominated for the Mercury Prize. In 2009 Allen announced that she would be taking a hiatus from musical activities. During 2010, Allen opened a fashion rental shop "Lucy in Disguise" with her sister Sarah, followed by the 2011 launching of her own record label. In 2013, Allen revealed that she had begun working on her third studio album. On November 12, 2013 Allen premiered the video for her first original song since 2009, "Hard Out Here", which will be released as a single on November 17. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): 2006 01 Smile -1- 2006 06 LDN -2- 2006 21 Littlest Things -3- 2007 15 Alfie -4- 2007 08 Oh My God (Mark Ronson Feat.

March 30, 201412 yr Kicking off with a massive fall for a massive disappointment of a song from Lily Allan.
March 30, 201412 yr Pretty short chart run in the end then, although not quite as dramatic as Hard Out Here's one.
March 30, 201412 yr I find Air Balloon to be one of Lily's more tolerable songs, much better than the horrible "Hard Out Here". Not her biggest fan overall.
March 30, 201412 yr Oops this is falling far too quickly :( Such a great song, even if it's far from her best.
March 30, 201412 yr 39 42 11 Shakira Featuring Rihanna Can't Remember To Forget You Shakira | 2014 http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music/v4/64/f8/00/64f8008e-076c-2f80-c33d-3180c02e37f7/886444322119.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 11-31-38-15-18-19-23-27-36-42-39 Release date: 13-01-2014 Format: digital single Label: RCA Records Sales: 100k+ Video here: o3mP3mJDL2k Biography Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll (pronounced: [ʃaˈkiɾa isaˈβel meβa'ɾak riˈpol]; born February 2, 1977), known professionally as Shakira (English /ʃəˈkɪərə/, Spanish: [ʃaˈkiɾa]), is a Colombian singer-songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer and model. Born and raised in Barranquilla, she began performing in school, demonstrating Latin, Arabic, and rock and roll influences and belly dancing abilities. Shakira released her first studio albums, Magia and Peligro, in the early 1990s, failing to attain commercial success; however, she rose to prominence in Latin America with her major-label debut, Pies Descalzos (1996), and her fourth album, Dónde Están los Ladrones? (1998). Shakira entered the English-language market with her fifth album, Laundry Service (2001), which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Its lead single, "Whenever, Wherever", became the best-selling single of 2002. Her success was solidified with her sixth and seventh albums Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005), the latter of which spawned the best-selling song of the 21st century, "Hips Don't Lie". Shakira's eighth and ninth albums, She Wolf (2009) and Sale el Sol (2010), received critical praise but suffered from limited promotion due to her strained relationship with label Epic Records. Her official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", became the biggest-selling World Cup song of all time. With over 550 million views, its music video is the eighth most-watched video on YouTube. Since 2013, Shakira has served as a coach on the American version of The Voice, having appeared in two of its six seasons. Shakira has won many awards including five MTV Video Music Awards, two Grammy Awards, eight Latin Grammy Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, twenty-eight Billboard Latin Music Awards and has been Golden Globe-nominated. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and she is the highest-selling Colombian artist of all time, having sold a total of 125 million records worldwide, over 70 million albums and 55 million singles. Her U.S. album sales stand at 9.9 million. Outside of her work in the music industry, Shakira is also involved in philanthropic activities through charity work and benefit concerts, notably her Pies Descalzos Foundation, her performance at the "Clinton Global Initiative" created by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and her invitation to the Oval Office by President Barack Obama in February 2010 to discuss early childhood development. In 2013, Shakira was listed on Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): Shakira 2002 02 Whenever Wherever -1- 2002 03 Underneath Your Clothes -2- 2002 17 Objection (Tango) -3- 2006 09 Don't Bother -1- 2006 01 Hips Don't Lie (Shakira Featuring Wyclef Jean) -2- 2006 34 Illegal (Shakira Feat.
