Damn at Won't Look Back missing number 1, but at least it lost it to another great song.

Maybe Moves Like Jagger #2 and Payphone #1?

 

Nope, definitely a #3 and a #2 and it was like ten years ago. :P

And now we have to listen to Duke Dumont pretending to be happy with a #2 peak...

when he mentioned his 'track record' I was expecting him to say it was ruined :lol:

I'm half and half about this missing #1 now. It's sure to drop 2-8 or 2-9 next week, so probably better that it didn't reach the summit. A shame that it didn't continue his streak though, but fingers crossed for single #4, he's a very talented producer.

 

I can see "Prayer in C" spending another week at #1 next week now, the streaming must be adding a good 7/8k to its weekly total, and it's still doing well. Always great to see a nice chilled song at the top of the charts.

awww @ duke dumont just missing out~ :snif:

 

won't look back is sublime :wub: :wub: :wub:

I don't really know why is it unlucky to be at #3 Paula Abdul? :kink:

It's because it looked like it was going to be #1 earlier in the week and now it couldn't even hold on to number 2 let alone number 1.

Didn't both peak at #2?

Both those Kelis tracks peaked at #2 I think ;)

Milkshake and Trick Me were both number 2.

They both peaked at #2 though? Trick Me is very underrated & forgotten these days sadly!

Both peaked at number 2 ;)

 

 

Milkshake had 4 weeks at No.2 no less!

Milkshake was #2 for four weeks!

Milkshake was number 2 for 4 weeks :P

Stop repeating yourselves! :drama: :P

I agree about this being his best track out of his 3 so far as well. Superb :wub:

Stop repeating yourselves! :drama: :P

Ha ha!

Nope, definitely a #3 and a #2 and it was like ten years ago. :P

I have another one, from 1998:

 

Sash! - La Primavera #3, Mysterious Times #2

 

But I wouldn't say La Primavera was bigger in the end than Mysterious Times.

sales thread up

Nope, definitely a #3 and a #2 and it was like ten years ago. :P

 

How about Jamelia with Superstar & Thank You?

Duke Dumont moving back a week so that he can beat Lilly Wood to #1, and then he still doesn't!

 

Great to see Prayer In C staying at #1, I really love that song :wub:

Great result in the end!

 

The Script track was better than people here were making out (apart from the non-Danny parts), and I'm not really a fan of the vocals on Duke's track but the production values are excellent! 'Prayer In C' is by far my favourite though, so yay at it getting that second week!

How about Jamelia with Superstar & Thank You?

Good shout (and kind of similar to Kelis).

So Duke Dumont just wasted his time delaying the release by an extra week. He would have been number 2 last week as well with probably bigger sales.

 

Well at least he has his Chicken Chow Mein to look forward to tonight :lol:

Edited September 7, 201411 yr by Sheikh Abdul

To be honest I'd rather Lily have two consecutive weeks at Number in instead of a 1-2-1 chart run. I'm still living in hope Calvin can get to Number 1 next week, but he's got quite abit of selling to do in the meantime for that to happen.

On first listen, this is massively disappointing after I Got U, I normally love 90s-esque sounding dance tracks, but I just feel I've heard all of this before.

 

V. glad Prayer In C kept the number 1.

Next week's #1 contender

Biography

Favoring a naughty schoolboy look that makes him seem even younger than his already tender years (22 when his first major-label album was released), Scottish artist, producer, and remixer Calvin Harris has a similarly youthful and forward-looking approach to his music. Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through MySpace and similar sites, to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. A short time later, he was producing material for Kylie Minogue, Dizzee Rascal, and Rihanna.

 

Born on January 17, 1984, in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as a 12" club single and CD-EP by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. With that single to his credit, the still teenaged Harris moved from Scotland to London, but as a very small fish in one of the world's largest and most competitive ponds, Harris floundered; only one of his songs was released during his time in London, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2.

 

Returning home to Dumfries, Harris began posting homemade solo recordings to his MySpace page. An A&R representative from EMI liked what he heard and signed Harris to the label in 2006. Following a pair of successful singles, Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007. It featured two Top Ten hits ("Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls"), and climbed high in the album charts. Along with his work as a solo artist, including touring in front of a full live band, Harris quickly became an in-demand remixer — working on singles by Jamiroquai, Groove Armada, All Saints, and CSS. He also wrote and produced songs for Kylie Minogue's 2007 comeback album, and collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on "Dance wiv Me," which reached number one in the U.K.

 

"I'm Not Alone," the first single from his second album, also hit number one upon release in April 2009, as did the album when it appeared that August. That album, Ready for the Weekend, topped the U.K. album chart and peaked at number 12 on Billboard's U.S. dance/electronic chart. Through 2011, Harris took on production work for Example, Tinchy Stryder, and Rihanna ("We Found Love," a quadruple-platinum hit in the U.S.), while he also issued two more of his own singles (the Kelis collaboration "Bounce" and "Feel So Close"). Harris' third solo album, 18 Months, was a collaboration-filled affair that featured "We Found Love" and "Bounce" plus vocal spots from Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch, and Ne-Yo, among others. It was released in October of 2012. - iTunes

When I first heard Prayer In C way back when I had no idea it be so huge! Very good song though & far superior to the likes of Waves, Changes etc...
