LOL this is so hilarious on the radio. It's an awful song, but I kinda like it for that reason? :lol:
This chart has been torture so far. :lol:

No May-time snowman building for you then!

Oh so these are the dudes that people are always on about on twitter!

 

It's quite amusing but the tempo change is a bit random when the chorus begins. :lol:

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

Album Discussion Here

Having heard his new one, it's OK, but awfully Heart/Magic FM-esque lyrically. Probably the most disappointing new artist of the year for me :(
Probably Sam Smith's last week with this then, I much prefer it to his new one!

 

If it does drop out next week, it'll probably re-enter the following week due to the album being released.

I would say exactly the opposite. His new one sounds much better and it's not so irritating.

Don't like any of Sam Smith's songs.

 

As soon as one bad one is about to leave, an even worse one will enter next sunday :(

3 or 4 weeks to go and then we have Queen Keri with the MESMERISING 'Knock You Down' in the 2009 retro! 5 years :wub:

 

Also great to see 'Hope' made it :heart:

The one time where I'm 20 minutes late for the show because of going out and I miss Sanna Neilsen debuting at #40 :drama: Yay for her scraping in though *.*

Oh god, didn't even think of that. :( :(
