August 24, 201412 yr 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.
August 24, 201412 yr 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.
August 24, 201412 yr 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. Edited August 24, 201412 yr by Chez Wombat

August 24, 201412 yr 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.
August 24, 201412 yr 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...

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 Chart history (Year peak title): 2011 08 Down With The Trumpets -1- 2011 01 Heart Skips A Beat (Olly Murs Feat.

August 24, 201412 yr Lol at that fall :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D Terrible song. They've made a couple of good songs (DWTT and MDTH) but I don't like anything else they have done
August 24, 201412 yr Never been into Rizzle Kicks. Quite glad the stuff they recorded with Dido never made her album.

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 Chart history (Year peak title): 2014 10 Riptide -1- Great to see this back!
August 24, 201412 yr Oh 'Riptide' was in The Inbetweeners 2 wasn't it - I completely forgot that. That and being 59p probably explains the rise.
