meh, Stay With Me is incredibly boring :(

This almost sounded like the same song :-/

 

My fave Sam Smiths are Latch and La La La. I like his solo stuff less.

I can barely tell that new Sam Smith song apart from the one playing now, Gosh, he's such a bore these days :( Such a disappointment after how he started.

 

I'm clearly in the minority with this view - the crowd to see him at V Festival was crazy, it wasn't even the main stage!

Was hoping Black Widow would be in the top 10 :(

Biography

In one of the more unlikely crossover success stories, blonde Australian beauty Iggy Azalea (born Amethyst Amelia Kelly) segued from a high-profile modeling career to become a southern hip-hop star. 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

The video hype wore off a bit quickly on iTunes but it appears to be coming for Fancy's peak :wub: 'Black Widow' is incredible.
Very excited for the album re-release! Obviously since she has smashed in the US more artist will want to work with her :wub:
Well, Union J are higher than I imagined.

 

Same; I was expecting 16/17 due to the massive drop off and the fact their streaming must be non existent

Hearing 'Black Widow' just shows how important Charli XCX was to 'Fancy' doesn't it?

 

No.

black widow isn't bad ~ it's just disappointing after fancy :(
Ah Relish, one of those "nearly famous" Northern Irish bands. They are probably best known for their song "Rainbow Zephyr", which was unimaginatively butchered by Westlife, under the name "Hey Whatever".

 

Sorry to be a pedant, but it was Radish who were in the chart in 1997, not Relish. One of Radish was Ben Kweller, later an oddly acclaimed solo act.

I actually prefer BW so not for me :lol: Charli is better on Boom Clap/Break The Rules from this year alone anyway.
