This isn't that good either. I know I sound like a right winger, but there's only been about 5 or 6 songs I've liked this afternoon. Not having bothered for weeks, this is also the first time I've heard a lot of the recent big hits.
'Remedy' is my favourite of Pro Green's top 5/10 hits, though that's not really saying a lot as none of the previous ones are highlights of his.

 

'Monster' > 'Remedy' > 'Jungle' > 'Lullaby' > 'Avalon' > 'I Need You Tonight' > 'Never Be A Right Time' > 'Just Be Good To Green' > 'Read All About It'

 

Basically all his one word titles are his best songs :D

Monster > Jungle > I Need You Tonight > RAAI > Just Be Good To Green > Remedy > Lullaby > Avalon > NBART

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

So only a 1 place fall for Calvin, which is a lot better than the 4 place fall the midweeks were suggesting. :D

 

Happy to see Sigma get another Number 1 this year and the first for Paloma. :cheer:

Wasn't 'Blame' like #5 in the first mids? Good to see it only fell one place in the end.

 

'Changing' is of course a v predictable #1 but great to see it happening nonetheless. Another drum n bass #1 is always a good thing and Paloma finally getting a #1 as well. Wonder if Sigma's next single will be their 'The Power'?

Another fantastic number 1! So chuffed for both Sigma and Paloma!

YASSSSSS for sigma :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

fourth consecutive dance #1 :w00t:

 

what a recovery for calvin/sir newman when they were #5 in the mids ~ blame is just so :heart:

Of the 2 records I'd say at the moment I prefer Blame as I've been listening to Changing for the past 2 months and I'm quite surprised the ludicrous waiting time didn't screw up the release of it like Won't Look Back.
Despise John Newman and not big on Calvin Basic Harris either. Glad for Sigma and Paloma being no.1 though. It's a shame my birthday isn't next Saturday instead of Sunday as this would have been a good no.1 to have. The apocalypse will be no.1 instead :(
'Remedy' is my favourite of Pro Green's top 5/10 hits, though that's not really saying a lot as none of the previous ones are highlights of his.

> Implying 'Remedy' was a top 5/10 hit

What a brilliant top 3 :wub:
