Ah that is true of the Chipmunk feature. Slipped into complete obscurity would have been more accurate. I do like both the upcoming tracks he's featured on so if either hit top ten I'll be happy!

Yeah I wouldn't describe the upcoming Talay Riley tracks as 'mega-hits'. They'll probably chart top 20 and spend 1-3 weeks in the chart

Live While We're Young was blocked by Rihanna and PSY, Adele was #4 :P I get your point but they still aren't *guaranteed* #1s or huge hits.

 

I must have swapped Adele and Psy around in my head. But still, it was Gangnam Style of all songs and it wasn't by much either, if I haven't got it completely wrong again.

I'm so glad to see 'Comeback' a bit higher on pre-orders now, I'm still hoping it can progress and do decently (i.e. at least top 20).

He had a top 10 hit already with Chipmunk in 2009 with Look For Me. No clue how it goes but not complete obscurity. :P

 

The song sounded a lot like I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas.

 

Chipmunk is great at launching careers. First Emeli Sande from Diamond Rings, then Ms. D from Oopsy Daisy and now Talay Riley. He's truly a gift to the music industry.

A bit like infecting somebody with a deadly disease is a 'gift'.

George Ezra unlikely to rise? :(

 

Listened to 'Ugly Heart' for the first time the other night and it's surprisingly good, quite generic but still stands out from most other girl group sounds of late. :)

 

Talay Riley about to come from complete obscurity to grab two mega-hits!

He's been making music for years. This is one of his earlier songs from when he was a teenager that used to be played on Channel U & MTV Base.

Impressive to see All About the Bass in the top 40 already with 10 days to go before sales release. Also good to see Hozier establish himself in the top 30 this week, hope he makes the top 40 officially.

 

Still a 50% lead for Sigma!

 

Bailando was supposed to be on pre-order for next Sunday... why release it ever?

 

Fixed that for you.

Vance Joy just performed Riptide on Later With Jools Holland. Great news for involved.

Meghan needs to be released immediately. What the hell are they waiting for?

Yeah....shame it wasn't their new song 'First Time' to give it abit of boost.

When is 'Steal My Girl' released? The daily iTunes thread has it as 28th September but I also read 12th October earlier in this thread. Can anyone confirm?

 

If it's 12th Oct then they'll surely be #1 (assuming it's not a terrible song).

 

No the 1d song is to be released on 19th Oct. Same week as Charli xcx.

I take it then that Coldplays True Love has flopped badly..can't see album hitting a million then

Ahh it's been pushed back a week, so no Vamps vs 1D will be happening then :kink:

Sadly. :( After 'SFOS' and 'Magic' there's not really another obvious single on the album, so whatever they would of released would of flopped. :(

iTunes still has the 1D song as 12 October though

 

What date is it?

Their FB page is now saying 19th so I'd assume that!

'Glow' is up to #682, making very nice progress after just 2 days of Radio 1 playlisting (and still no Capital playlisting!)
