June 29, 201412 yr I thought it was a pretty obvious sample but it appears the song might be less well known than I thought it was - only charted at #20 (#11 for the Booty Luv cover). Always thought it was a massive hit! I loved Don't Mess With My Man, but tbh I didn't notice the sample either :o
June 29, 201412 yr I can't believe Keri was as close as that to scoring a top 3 single back in OH NINE! :o GUTTED.

Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through MySpace and similar sites, to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. A short time later, he was producing material for Kylie Minogue, Dizzee Rascal, and Rihanna. Born on January 17, 1984, in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as a 12" club single and CD-EP by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. With that single to his credit, the still teenaged Harris moved from Scotland to London, but as a very small fish in one of the world's largest and most competitive ponds, Harris floundered; only one of his songs was released during his time in London, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2. Returning home to Dumfries, Harris began posting homemade solo recordings to his MySpace page. An A&R representative from EMI liked what he heard and signed Harris to the label in 2006. Following a pair of successful singles, Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007. It featured two Top Ten hits ("Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls"), and climbed high in the album charts. Along with his work as a solo artist, including touring in front of a full live band, Harris quickly became an in-demand remixer — working on singles by Jamiroquai, Groove Armada, All Saints, and CSS. He also wrote and produced songs for Kylie Minogue's 2007 comeback album, and collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on "Dance wiv Me," which reached number one in the U.K. "I'm Not Alone," the first single from his second album, also hit number one upon release in April 2009, as did the album when it appeared that August. That album, Ready for the Weekend, topped the U.K. album chart and peaked at number 12 on Billboard's U.S. dance/electronic chart. Through 2011, Harris took on production work for Example, Tinchy Stryder, and Rihanna ("We Found Love," a quadruple-platinum hit in the U.S.), while he also issued two more of his own singles (the Kelis collaboration "Bounce" and "Feel So Close"). Harris' third solo album, 18 Months, was a collaboration-filled affair that featured "We Found Love" and "Bounce" plus vocal spots from Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch, and Ne-Yo, among others. It was released in October of 2012. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2007 10 Acceptable In The 80s -1- 2007 03 The Girls -2- 2007 43 Merrymaking At My Place -3- 2008 01 Dance Wiv Me (Dizzee Rascal Feat.

June 29, 201412 yr Even though Summer is generic, it's so euphoric and good, glad to see it climb and have a lot more longevity than Under Control!
June 29, 201412 yr Coldplay in the top 15 for a 4th week then. Top 10 next week somehow please :( The EP has been released now so it could be top 10 :cheer:
June 29, 201412 yr Summer could benefit from Streaming as well. If I remember well it was high on the Streaming charts
June 29, 201412 yr The EP has been released now so it could be top 10 :cheer: The ASFOS track on the EP is album only though :(
June 29, 201412 yr Always forget this is still to come, I always seem to look past it when I skim iTunes, still pretty good anyway.
June 29, 201412 yr This sounds fantastic in the sun and I don't even like it that much :lol: maybe it is just Sean Paul :P
June 29, 201412 yr #34 Austin Mahome-MMM Yeah He's one of many artists in the past year as the next Justin Bieber. I guess he's not in my opinon
June 29, 201412 yr The EP has been released now so it could be top 10 :cheer: I hope so! I downloaded the EP as it has those previously US exclusive tracks so hopefully it'll pick up a decent number of sales from like-minded people. I see the EP is now top 10 on iTunes, it was in the 400s when I last checked (must have not been up for pre-order?) 'Dangerous Love' is holding up far better than I expected. It's also been a bit of a slow grower for me like 'Antenna', liking it more now than when it was first released.
June 29, 201412 yr The ASFOS track on the EP is album only though :( Oh... EP sales should still count towards ASFOS though, right?
