What advert is this on? Is it still the Snapchat thing? Had no idea this was even on the radar of another top 40 re-entry (until it was suddenly back at #41 last week of course). Won't complain at it returning again though. Still a fab song.
Riptide presumably one of the big winners from steaming being added to the charts. That, and it was used in that rather awful Inbetweeners sequel, which probably helped as well.
Is it just streaming that's helped this out so much? :o (edit: and adverts I see) It's had a great chart run after all, was worried it's initial top 40 run was a bit brief.

I think the album version of Riptide was 59p on iTunes, maybe that helped a bit too.

Something about this song has always brought the month of August to mind for me (?!) so it's great to see it in the top 40 at the right time of year :D.
Riptide also features in the Inbetweeners 2. The first film helped out Ke$ha's Blow and that Sean Kingston song quite considerably a few years ago...

Biography

Responsible for bringing the flower-power hip-hop sound of the late '80s back into the charts, Brighton duo Rizzle Kicks are one of the few successful male acts to emerge from the BRIT School that spawned the likes of Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Leona Lewis. Childhood friends Jordan "Rizzle" Stevens and Harley "Sylvester" Alexander-Sule first started making music together in 2008 on the Minor Breaches of Discipline mixtape, which saw the pair rapping over samples of tracks by Lily Allen, Gorillaz, and Arctic Monkeys. Compared to the likes of De La Soul and Dream Warriors, their laid-back production and humorous non-confrontational rhymes earned them a deal with Universal Records, and in 2011 they released their debut single, "Prophet (Better Watch It)," followed by "Down with the Trumpets," which eventually reached number eight in the U.K. charts. Following a guest appearance on X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs' chart-topping single "Heart Skips a Beat," support slots with Professor Green, the Streets, and Dizzee Rascal, and a remix of Ed Sheeran's "You Need Me, I Don't Need You," they were invited by Take That's Gary Barlow to appear in his Children in Need charity supergroup alongside the likes of N-Dubz, Wretch 32, and Ms. Dynamite. Following three MOBO nominations for Best Newcomer and U.K. Hip-Hop/Grime Act and Video, their debut album, Stereo Typical, was released at the end of 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes

Never been into Rizzle Kicks. Quite glad the stuff they recorded with Dido never made her album.

When was steaming added? How does it work? :P

Biography

Australian indie folk singer/songwriter Vance Joy began his career playing the Melbourne open-mike scene at the end of the 2000s while completing his law degree. Finding success with his intimate, Bon Iver-influenced songs, Joy decided to put law on hold and pursue a music career instead. Born James Keogh, the singer took the name Vance Joy from a character Peter Carey's novel Bliss in order to better separate his personal and professional life. As his reputation grew, he began working with a manager, booking bigger shows around town and eventually recorded his debut EP God Loves You When You're Dancing. His catchy folk-pop single "Riptide" was an immediate success in Australia and eventually led him to sign a lengthy multi-album deal with Atlantic Records. In 2013, Joy began touring internationally and recording his first album for Atlantic. - iTunes

Great to see this back!

Oh 'Riptide' was in The Inbetweeners 2 wasn't it - I completely forgot that. That and being 59p probably explains the rise.

Only Love Can Hurt Like This :wub: :wub:

 

I am so happy at the success with this song. She has deserved to be massive since 2009. I have always loved her music since then and I am glad she's doing really well with a single at last

 

Cut short again. BOO :angry: :angry: :(

Edited by Ultraviolence1989

One of the first Paloma songs I sing along with. Definately deserved its succes
