Are you usually a fan of his music?

 

It seems to me like a song that "religious" fans wouldn't be keen on but new listeners would.

 

I'm just not a fan of his more upbeat songs to be honest. I was the same to 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You'.

 

Seems the be the case as I wasn't a fan of his last album. It is a change of direction and it took me a while but I love it now. Bit if a risk for his first single in the second album, which I think is a good thing.

I also see Clarity is a pre order now?? Just shows how stupid the chart is these days!

 

Where are you seeing this? Clarity is still available through the album version and I don't see a pre-order single available?

Black Keys #46 with the album out on Monday. Looks like a first ever top 40 for them - as of now they must be the biggest band around not to have one.

Re: Ed Sheeran, I think 'Sing' is the ideal comeback for him as it is different by his standards and he was boxing himself in the category of being a dreary balladeer before this.

 

HA to whoever suggested 'Small Bump' is better than this though.

Good news for you Steve, is that Clarity is not a pre-order but is charting off cherry-picking sales

 

Well that is good I purchased it last yr and it's a great track though I'm still not sure whether it would repeak in the top 10 with this re release although I assume it's No 29 peak last yr was because radio 1 only supported them?!

What about Bombay Bicycle Club? They've had 3 Top 10 albums, 1 of which hit #1 (granted, in a low sales week) and they've not got higher than #56.

For some stupid reason radio 1 removed Fever from their playlist this week which was a strange one - so it might not. Is their 2 versions of their album? Thought Our Time would do the same but it remained outside the chart :(

Bombay Bicycle Club aren't as big worldwide as The Black Keys though (probably comparable in the UK however).

Ed Sheeran is the absolute pits. There are so many artists in the same vain that are much better. He is so average.

 

To be fair to him, though, I think part of the reason he's done as well as he has is because he worked so hard and seems like a nice chap. I don't really like much of his music but neither do I understand all the vitriol thrown at him.

It's not so much him, but some of the praise he's had over the past few years has been awfully OTT as if he's some sort of ground breaking musician when he simply isn't.

I seen him live and he was Brillant - very talented playing the guitar, singing and playing the beat box thing - he was great!

Shame there's two versions of "Children of the Universe". It could've been receiving the top 10 effect now!

The Common Linnets 13 & 70 :o

Edited May 10, 201411 yr by danielw2k1

The Common Linnets actually higher than Loreen was at this point I think as I seem to remember I looked before and she was #17 just after the contest! Would be great if they could go top 10 officially.

Really love the Netherlands' song, so would be great to see it go top 10! :D
