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 Chart history (Year peak title): 2012 11 Latch (Disclosure Feat.

November 16, 201411 yr Another Sam Smith song to hang around way too long in the charts, hooray! This one is markedly better than the last two but I can already tell I'll be just as bored of it in a few weeks. My thoughts as well. Though at least it's not another re-recording of Stay With Me.
November 16, 201411 yr The Veronicas really shouldn't have matched the peak of one of the most excellent pop songs ever Untouched :( You Ruin me is nice but Untouched is just 11/10 and this is more like 7/10.. :(
November 16, 201411 yr :heart: :heart: SO amazing to see a band like the Veronicas come back and nab a top 10!

They were formed in 1999 by identical twin sisters Lisa Origliasso and Jessica Origliasso. In addition to music the sisters market their own line of clothing which debuted in 2007. In 2005 The Veronicas released their debut studio album, titled The Secret Life of... which peaked at No. 2 on the Australian charts and gained an Australian ARIA certification of 4x platinum for 280,000+ sales. The album spawned five singles, led by "4ever", three of which were top ten singles in Australia. In 2007, the duo released their second studio album, Hook Me Up, which also peaked at No. 2 on the Australian charts and earned an Australian ARIA certification of 2x platinum for 140,000+ sales. The album garnered four Australian top ten singles. The album's title track, "Hook Me Up", was The Veronicas' first No. 1 single in Australia, while "Untouched" was an international top ten hit. Following a lengthy hiatus (broken only by the July 2012 release of the Top 40 single, 'Lolita'), The Veronicas released "You Ruin Me", the first single from their self-titled third album in September 2014. The song debuted at number one on the ARIA Charts, becoming the girls' second chart topping single and their first to debut in the top spot. The Veronicas is scheduled for release on 21 November 2014. - Wikipedia Chart history (Year peak title): 2009 08 Untouched -1- 2009 17 4ever -2- 2014 08 You Ruin Me -1- Discussion Thread Here
November 16, 201411 yr Most unexpected comeback of the year for me! And definitely one of the songs of the year. I was elated enough in 2009 when they finally managed a top ten hit so to see them with two seems unbelievable :o Good for them, and I have so much love for Heart FM right now!
November 16, 201411 yr Normally I'd be happy to see The Veronicas have a hit here, but really not a fan of this track :(
November 16, 201411 yr I must be the only one here who extremely dislikes this track. Dreadfully dull and insipid. Bring back the old Veronicas.
November 16, 201411 yr Fun Fact: All of Sam Smith's chart hits as a lead artist refer to himself in the title :P Money On My Mind Stay With Me I'm Not the Only One Like I Can - YES The Veronicas! Giving me Jar of Hearts vibes production-wise and lyrically which is a good thing considering JOH is one of my favourite ballads. Hope it can stick around for a while anyway
November 16, 201411 yr This is beautiful. So happy it's got top 10 off the back of only Heart supporting :D
November 16, 201411 yr The Veronicas really shouldn't have matched the peak of one of the most excellent pop songs ever Untouched :( You Ruin me is nice but Untouched is just 11/10 and this is more like 7/10.. :( I've never really thought of Untouched as one of their absolute best, 4Ever is still better for me, but was released four years too late here. You Ruin Me however is on the same level as 4Ever for me, I've been obsessed with it since it premiered.
November 16, 201411 yr this Veronicas song is SO boring :zzz: will probably end up sticking around for ages too. Untouched >>>>>>>>>
November 16, 201411 yr Props to The Veronicas managing to match their previous highest peak after being away for so long, I always thought people hoping this would be a hit were slightly deluded but Heart to their rescue I guess :lol: I can definitely see why they've taken to this so much. Not really a big fan but it is very Heart FM.
November 16, 201411 yr The Veronicas were only #8 on iTunes weekly chart, so presumably around there on the sales chart, and therefore extremely lucky to make #8 on the ACTUAL chart! #Justice They made it as high as #3 once their pre-orders were added in IIRC. So happy they got another top 10 hit :cheer:
November 16, 201411 yr Is this the first record to spend 4 weeks at #10 since Hermes House Band? Yes. Update to that thread coming later this evening
November 16, 201411 yr Heard this a while ago but had totally forgotten how it went, really enjoying it right now though :wub:
November 16, 201411 yr This is so bland. :huh: Sounds like a Christina Perri song... And these are the same people that released 'Untouched'?
