This racket is somehow a top 10 hit AND IDINA IS NOT. TRAVESTY

 

Brown has done nothing good since no air (which was only good because of the amazing jordin sparks) and I really really don't like him as a person

Biography

Following the success of JLS and the Wanted, X Factor contestants One Direction were the next group of heartthrobs to help revive the boy-band concept. The quintet outdid all of their predecessors, becoming the biggest boy band since Take That, selling millions of albums and singles, filling arenas and making movies, while hitting number one many times over across the world with undeniably hooky songs and plenty of boy next door charm.

 

The group was formed by Niall Horan from Mullingar, Ireland; Zayn Malik from Bradford; Harry Styles from Cheshire; Louis Tomlinson from Doncaster, and Liam Payne from Wolverhampton (the latter had previously reached the judge's house stages of The X Factor as a 14-year-old back in 2008). Each originally entered 2010's seventh series of X Factor as individuals, but following a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, they were grouped together to become One Direction. Mentored by Simon Cowell, they soon became one of the favorites to win the show, thanks to renditions of Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," Elton John's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight," and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart." However, despite receiving a standing ovation for their duet with Robbie Williams ("She's the One") in the live final, they eventually finished third behind Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

 

Spotting the potential of five Justin Bieber-esque teen pinups, Cowell signed them to his Syco label in a two-million dollar deal, and after performing on the X Factor tour, the quintet began work on their debut album with Savan Kotecha (Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias). Following a sponsorship deal with Nintendo DS and a book, Forever Young, named after their cover of the Alphaville classic that was intended to be their winner's song, they released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," in late 2011. The full-length album Up All Night followed soon after. In 2012, One Direction became the first British band to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list when Up All Night sold over 176,000 copies during its first week of release in America.

 

In late 2012, One Direction released their sophomore album, Take Me Home. Highlighting more of the band's melodic pop, Take Me Home featured songs and production via Sweden's Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Savan Kotecha, who worked on Up All Night, as well as contributions from singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran. The album proved to be another smash and topped charts around the world, earning multi-platinum certification in half a dozen countries. The singles "Live While We're Young" and "Little Things" also hit number one across the globe, and "Kiss You" reached the Top Ten in the U.S.

 

One Direction then embarked on a globe-spanning tour in which the band played over 100 shows, including six sold-out nights at London's massive O2 Arena. At the same time, they were being filmed by director Morgan Spurlock for This Is Us, a mix of documentary and concert footage that proved to be successful at the box office when it was released in August of 2013. While they were touring, One Direction also began work on their third album, Midnight Memories. Released just in time for the 2013 holidays, the record featured songwriting input from all the members, a new production team, and some new folk and '80s hair metal influences. It nearly outdid Take Me Home and Up All Night, peaking at number one in seven countries and spawning the singles "Best Song Ever" and "Story of My Life." - iTunes

Boo at this not getting to #19 or higher. Ah well, at least #19 isn't a super unrealistic peak any more ~

 

This is really a LOT better than the previous singles from 'Midnight Memories'. Actually almost close to halfway decent.

Oh dear - 10 place drop since the mids and it fails to beat it's 'peak'. A shame as this has grown on me so much and I now adore it. :wub:
This is one of their best singles/songs! I really like it.

Funny to see it dropping so much from the initial midweek Top 10.

The song's not too disturbing though so I guess #22 is a fair position for it (of course it had already gone Top 20 before but still).

I'm actually a fan of both this and 'Midnight Memories' (single) after loathing pretty much everything else they've done.
You & I :wub: actually charted much higher than I thought it would at the beginning of the week so YAY.
Harry and Zayne's voices are so overrated. Liam has the best voice I say
1D and Lana missing the top 20 :(

Biography

Vocalist Lana Del Rey makes atmospheric, orchestral, retro-'60s-sounding pop that showcases her torchy image and sensuous singing style. A native of Lake Placid, New York, Del Rey released the single "Kill Kill" under her given name, Lizzy Grant, in 2009 before remaking herself into the pop femme fatale character Lana Del Rey. A video for the single "Video Games" appeared online in August of 2011 and drew considerable buzz, as did a secret show she performed at Brooklyn's Grasslands Gallery that September. Del Rey's EP, featuring the songs "Video Games" and "Blue Jeans," was released in fall 2011. Amidst a heavy dose of hype, her debut album Born to Die was announced by Interscope for release early the following year. Del Rey cemented the anticipation around the album with an appearance on Saturday Night Live, becoming the first artist since Natalie Imbruglia in 1998 to perform on the show before the release of her debut album. Born to Die hit number one in several European countries, reached number two on the U.S. charts, and eventually sold several million copies worldwide. By the end of 2012, Del Rey had released her next work, a mini-album titled Paradise, with a trailer single called "Ride." - iTunes

Album Discussion Here

Noooooooooo!!!!! This song deserves to be a Top 20 hit!!! Her vocals remind me of Kate Bush.

Whaaaat I thought Lana was comfortably top 20 :o How annoying!

 

I love West Coast ~ so relaxing now that I'm used to the sudden tempo change. :lol: :wub:

Lana missed the Top 20 too? :o

West Coast is not her best song but is still gorgeous. Such a unique artist in today's mainstream! :wub:

This is blah

 

I adore Lana's voice but this is putting me to sleep. Literally.

AWW at this missing the top 20. Really loving it now :( Ah well, at least her album looks set to be big still.

West Coast not top 20 :( Is having a second week to much to ask for?
