I thought there were only four new entries?

Oh, there must be a re-entry to make the fifth dropout? I suppose we know what that is.

Biography

Rather than the usual bombast or snooze-inducing "relaxation music," the U.K. six-piece known as Clean Bandit mash classical music and pop forms for an airy and dreamy yet driven sound that's like the chamber music version of house music. The core four-piece of the group were known as the Chatto Quartet, a classically trained string quartet that performed J.S. Bach and cited Jacqueline du Pré as an influence, but their post-show, wind-down music often consisted of garage, two-step, Craig David, and Arcade Fire tracks. The quartet members were aware of both producer Jon Wandeck and MC Ssegamic through the duo's work in photography, and when Wandeck suggested they play on one of his house music cuts, Clean Bandit were born. With MC Ssegamic on the mike, they released the classical-meets-house-meets-hip-hop-meets-heartbreak song "Telephone Banking" in the summer of 2011. Their Dance Armstrong mixtape followed in 2012, while 2013 saw the release of their Mozart's House EP. - iTunes

This run is mental, back in the top 30! It was used as the *impact* music during the final of the last series of CBB... and the final of the NEW series was two days ago, blimey. :lol:

Such a Tune :heart:

rather be ~ voluptuous :wub: :wub: :wub:

Still love Rather Be :wub:

 

"Hides" :lol:

Glad to see "Rather Be" ahead of "Happy" again :P

Vance Joy - Riptide

:(

 

Anyway, I didn't like that drop of "Crazy Stupid Love". "Problem" and "Chandelier" are good and "Rather Be" is still great, although I prefer not to listen to it so many times :P

Wow what a messed up release for 'Break Free'! I think she'll need an X Factor performance or something during one of the first live shows to save it.

Cutting short a song only on its third week in the chart... :unsure:

One of the weirdest lyrics of the year: "I only wanna die alive, not by the hands of a broken heart"

"Break Free" is cute and I don't like "Sing" :no:

i find sing so nauseating these days :puke:

When I said I knew what the re-entry would be, I was trying to be subtle about spoilering it.

 

 

And trying to pretend it wasn't happening for as long as possible.

'Say Something' is such a DULL DULL DULL song, I really don't get what people see in it. Hope it's gone again next week.

Got in there after the narrow-miss last week, then! Sounding quite beautiful today after not hearing it for a while.

Say Something :wub: So gorgeous!
