April 21, 201411 yr Wow at Meet Me Halfway outselling Boom Boom Pow by this much. Actually, it doesn't really come as much of a surprise, definitely from that era of theirs :wub:
April 21, 201411 yr A couple of unofficial Download chart facts that the OCC don't seem to be wanting to reveal! First up: the biggest selling download prior to the OCC collating meaningful download sales information was most likely 'Stockholm Syndrome' by Muse which sold over 15,000 downloads in its first week when released as a digital only single in July 2003. The track would have been inside the top 20 had downloads been chart eligible. And indeed had the OCC been collecting sales data at the time! #2: Although the Official Downloads chart wasn't officially first published until September 2004, a series of Test charts were compiled by the OCC and published by Music Week from 26 June 2004 to 28 August 2004. Number 1 on these test charts were: 1 26-Jun 1 wk Pixies - Bam Thwok 2 03-Jul 1 wk Maroon 5 - This Love 3 10-Jul 5 wk Streets - Dry Your Eyes 4 14-Aug 3 wk Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme Westlife replaced 'Lola's Theme' on the first Official Download chart on 4 September 2004. The official title of the Westlife single on the Download chart was 'Flying Without Wings (Live)'

April 21, 201411 yr This song gets bonus points for including a sample of "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs (or at least it sounds like it)
April 21, 201411 yr This song gets bonus points for including a sample of "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs (or at least it sounds like it) There's a part in Meet Me Halfway that sounds like it's going to explode into the Grandstand theme tune.
April 21, 201411 yr 'Meet Me Halfway' sounded a lot better than I remember! 'What's My Name?' :wub: Rihanna's 2nd best song after 'Don't Stop The Music' for me.
April 21, 201411 yr Rihanna's best single :wub: The soundtrack to late 2010 to me! Agreed, even though Drake's rap is fairly weak and I would argue "We Found Love" pushes it close.
April 21, 201411 yr #57 'WHAT'S MY NAME?' Rihanna ft. Drake http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa315/skyekills1/rihanna-whats-my-name-album-cover.jpg 18-10-8-4-2-2-2-{1}-3-7-9-15-19-20-20-26-32-42-45-46-49-61-66-65-73-70R(3)-61->27 U0CGsw6h60k one of her better songs yayy~
April 21, 201411 yr "What's My Name?" gives me so many vivid memories of Christmas 2010 and that performance, never thought would reach #1, but managed to sneak in! I remember it sold like 110k in its 3rd week at #2 and Stargate's production is as good as ever :wub:
April 21, 201411 yr #56 'RUN' Leona Lewis http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/Leonalewisrun.jpg {1}-1-3-2-2-4-9-12-20-26-31-38-43-55-32-43-62-57-56-67-75-69-75-73R(22)-67R(5)-69R(195)->26 jqpAgMxhx30
