Good to see this rise; was hopinjg for top 5, but I think this will be it's peak now. Hopefully with a lot of longevity though.

Biography

Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artists at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. "Latch" hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, and many were surprised when his debut solo track took a more tempered path. The production on February 2013's "Lay Me Down" — also courtesy of the ordinarily dancefloor-focused duo Disclosure — recalled the stripped-back material that had proved successful for Adele in the preceding years. Next, Shahid Khan — aka Naughty Boy — decided to follow his Emeli Sandé-fronted U.K. Top Ten hit "Wonder" with the infectious, Bollywood sample-driven "La La La." Featuring Smith's powerful lead vocal, it became an instant May 2013 U.K. number one single following his spring tour in support of Sandé. - iTunes

"Actual proper stars" about Sam Smith's "I'm not the only one" (31/8, I think)

 

why did the occ post the top 10 already?

 

I was wondering the same thing!

 

 

Yay for Taylor finally going top 3

:yahoo:

Uhmm why did OCC reveal the singles chart now but not the album chart??

 

 

why did the occ post the top 10 already?

 

I'm guessing by mistake. :o

Except from Bang Bang and Shake It Off, the Top 8 is quite decent by recent poor standards.

This Sam Smith single is not the best thing ever but it's growing on me more with each listen.

Think I like this more than 'Stay With Me' now. The intrumental piano bit reminds me of that Barry Norman Film programme!! Lol
I never thought George Ezra would have another big hit tbh, so good to see him this high! :D

 

Same actually especially as Budapest is still so high :D

 

Album is great too

omg yes at them playing Every Other Freckle, album highlight for sure :heart:
I wonder if they'll play a track from the Number 1 album every week now? Would love to see it happen! :D
It's nice of them to play some Alt-J, much higher quality as always on the albums chart compared to singles.

Album chart top 5

alt-J being played on the chart show! *.*.*.* Here's hoping they actually get a top 40 single one day.

R1 are clearly only playing alt-J because they absolutely love them and will find any excuse to play them, but yay for the #1 album getting more airtime! wouldn't mind this being a regular feature
