July 20, 201411 yr Maybe because the lyrics to 'Don't' make him sound like such an a-hole? 'Thinking Out Loud' has had been played on Heart quite a few times this week, so I expect that has had an effect.
July 20, 201411 yr Ooh 'Stolen Dance' gives me chills. The vocals are sublime. :wub: "Stanced" though. :lol:
July 20, 201411 yr The epic chart run continues - mostly due to few radio stations being willing to touch it with a barge-pole... :wacko: That makes literally no sense. Why would radio *not* playing a song give it a long chart run? :huh: ~ Yay for Milky Chance still climbing. Now they're off the R1 playlist I expect they'll start to fall again but #24 isn't too bad. 'Thinking Out Loud' has had been played on Heart quite a few times this week, so I expect that has had an effect. I see - them picking an album track to play a lot instead of an actual single a la Bruno Mars' 'Count On Me' then.

Raised in Framlingham, Suffolk, he moved to London in 2008 to pursue a musical career. In early 2011, Sheeran released an independent extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of both Elton John and Jamie Foxx. He then signed to Asylum Records. His 2011 debut album, +, containing the singles "The A Team" and "Lego House", was certified quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom. In 2012, he won two BRIT Awards for Best British Male and British Breakthrough. "The A Team" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. Sheeran began to be known in the United States in 2012. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, and wrote songs for One Direction. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards and he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. He spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift's Red Tour. His second studio album is titled x, read as "multiply", and is scheduled for worldwide release on 23 June 2014. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): 2011 03 The A Team -1- MILLION SELLER 2011 04 You Need Me, I Don't Need You -2- 2011 09 Drunk -4- 2011 05 Lego House -3- 2012 35 Hush Little Baby (Wretch 32 Feat.

July 20, 201411 yr 'Don't' definitely sounds like the bigger hit, so I'm surprised that this is higher! 'Thinking Out Loud' is beautiful, though.
July 20, 201411 yr This is quite nice. For an Ed Sheeran song anyway. There is something I do not like about him, he comes across quite smug I think.
July 20, 201411 yr Despite spawning several charting songs, 'x' has only one top ten single so far...compared to four from '+'

Influenced in her childhood by Missy Elliott, TLC, and Tupac Shaqur, she moved to the states in 2006 at age 16, stating that she was drawn to the birthplace of rap. Moving from Miami to Houston to Atlanta, she absorbed the Southern-style drawl of her surroundings and released a trap-inspired mixtape titled Ignorant Art in 2011, shortly after relocating to Los Angeles. A video for her song "Pu$$y" was uploaded to the internet and became a YouTube favorite due to its explicit nature. Around this time, Azalea's blossoming relationship with rising rapper A$AP Rocky earned her some headlines (she tattooed the title of his debut album on her knuckles), but her recording career stalled when plans to work with T.I. fell through due to label conflicts. In spring of 2012, she signed to Wilhelmina Models International and pursued modeling full-time, landing a job as the "New Face of Levi's Jeans." Later that year, her musical stock skyrocketed when XXL Magazine put her on the cover of their annual Top 10 Freshman issue, alongside Danny Brown, Roscoe Dash, and French Montana. As the first female, non-American rapper to make the list, serious hip-hop fans took notice, including Diplo, who hooked up with Azalea for her follow-up mixtape, TrapGold, before she signed to Mercury Records for her official 2013 debut The New Classic. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Iggy Azalea 2012 44 Beat Down (Steve Aoki & Angger Dimas Feat.

July 20, 201411 yr One of the best songs of the year :wub: Fancy has not got old for me at ALL. In fact I think I just begin to appreciate it more as time goes on.
