Amazing how one massive hit can remind the public that a band exists - Moves Like Jagger reignited Maroon 5's career and Counting Stars breathed new life into OneRepublic. There's no way on earth Love Runs Out would have done this well if Counting Stars hadn't existed, mainly because radio would be ignoring it right now like they were with Secrets/All The Right Moves etc...

Well that's the point isn't it - if radio didn't play the song, then the public wouldn't know about it.

I pretty much like the adult boy band with the likes of Maroon 5, The Script and One Republic in the chart at the same time, its like I've stepped through a timewarp :heehee:

Well that's the point isn't it - if radio didn't play the song, then the public wouldn't know about it.

 

Yeah but what they meant is that if Counting Stars had never existed, then radio wouldn't be touching Love Runs Out.

Well that's the point isn't it - if radio didn't play the song, then the public wouldn't know about it.

 

Just makes you wonder how many other bands have been forced out of relevance too soon because of radio dictating the status quo!

On another note, it's pretty significant that Nico & Vinz will be only the second all-Norwegian chart topping song ever after A-Ha's The Sun Always Shines On TV. A1 had a couple too of course with Christian from the band being from Norway. This compares to around 20 chart topping songs from Sweden (ABBA x 8, Ace of Base, Rednex, Avicii x 2, Icona Pop, Europe, Basshunter, Robyn, Swedish House Mafia, Alesso - sure I'm forgetting somebody else?), 0 from Finland and Iceland and 4 from Denmark (3 from Aqua and 1 from Whigfield).

Gooddelta - Aqua were not a wholly Danish Group. Their female lead singer - Lene Nystrøm - is Norwegian.

ABBA had 9 UK No.1 Singles, not 8. They are not a wholly Swedish Group. Frida was born in Norway. Her

mother was Norwegian & her father was German.

When were the Fray ever relevant to anything? They were just a one-hit wonder who outstayed their welcome.

will.i.am down to 44? Wow.

Unfortunately that will be a mistake of some sorts, in the last Kworb update the highest version was at #12.

Ahhh Ok, got my hopes up there! :lol:

Wow at Jessie, fingers crossed she can stay top 20/25 until the end of the week then she should be guaranteed her first top 40 hit :cheer:

Only 2 pages so far? wow!

 

The closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games is taking place tonight so if there are any songs that are going to be performed then they could get a boost.

Kylie will storm to her rightful place at number one with whatever she performs.
