2013 04 Budapest -1-

Ooh I thought 'Budapest' would drop a bit more than this, looks like a long-running hit then. :D

 

It's pretty much a by-the-numbers long running chart hit surely :P

Love George's voice, prefer it to Sam Smiths if I am honest

Biography

His initials being E.G., English MC/vocalist Elliot Gleave performed under the name Example. Gleave got his feet wet as an MC while attending Royal Holloway, where he met Joseph Gardner (aka Rusher) and recorded a concept album in the audio booth of the university's film department. "A Pointless Song," one of the tracks recorded there, became Example's first release, a 2004 single on his All the Chats label. A handful of successive 12" singles, as well as an answer song to Lily Allen's "Smile" — "Vile," issued on The Beats, the label run by the Streets' Mike Skinner — gained the attention of several BBC DJs. What We Made, Example's debut album, followed on The Beats in 2007 but failed to make much of a commercial impact. A deal with Ministry of Sound's Data label and an overt focus on reaching the clubs, however, fostered chart success. Released in 2009, "Watch the Sun Come Up," produced by the Fearless, peaked in the Top 20 of the U.K. pop chart, while both "Won't Go Quietly" (also produced by the Fearless) and "Kickstarts" (Sub Focus) reached the Top Ten and topped the dance chart.

 

The full-length Won't Go Quietly was released in June 2010 and featured the pre-album hits, as well as productions from MJ Cole, Calvin Harris, Chase & Status, and Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John). Featuring the hits "Stay Awake" and "Changed the Way You Kissed Me," his 2011 effort, Playing in the Shadows, debuted at number one on the U.K. album charts. Calvin Harris, Benga, and Dada Life were some of the producers whose work was found on his 2012 effort, The Evolution of Man. In 2013 the career-spanning #hits ended the artist's relationship with Ministry of Sound, as he had signed with the Epic Records label. - iTunes

Album Discussion Here

This is really so much better than his last few singles, great to see the chart reflecting that. :D Hope his album can go at least top 10 as well.

Ooh that opening production reminded me of that of Something Good '08 by Utah Saints (:wub: :wub:)

 

This is actually really good!

Oh this sounds horrific, muting now

Your loss, it's actually quite good, different to his other stuff :P

Really nice to see him returning to his more subtle roots than all this dull dance, this reminds me of his earlier stuff like Watch The Sun Come Up & Kickstarts actually :wub:

Edited by Chez Wombat

A decent comeback, certainly a lot better than what I was expecting.

good to see Example back around the top of le charts again <3

 

(especially after people were writing him off as a flop! 'why is radio 1 still playlisting him he's irrelevant now etc.' :rofl:)
