Gareth Malone's sales are 120K+ this week according to the OC.

Edited November 16, 201411 yr by gavindeejay

Yay, Gareth Malone! :nocheer: At least it's for charity.

 

As has been said before, why on earth wasn't 'God Only Knows' used for CIN? It seems such a wasted project.

What an abysmal top 2. Lesser of two evils at number 1 is scant consolation.

 

At least Wake Me Up is for a good cause (and for that I hope it posts good sales) but why oh why did they have to vocally obliterate a modern dance classic.

Am I the only one who doesn't hate the Wake Me Up cover then? :lol:

If 1D had been #2 this week that'd be two lead singles in a row denied #1 by 'Wake Me Up' :magic: (I take no credit for that observation as I nicked it off Joseph on Skype).

Is John Craven the oldest living person ever to appear on a Number One single?

Am I the only one who doesn't hate the Wake Me Up cover then? :lol:

 

Nope. I think it's rather good and very well done. :)

Oh I wish they had been! :D

Maybe they felt it was worth it for John Cravens 'rap' at the end!!!! :lol:

I don't hate the Wake Me Up cover, it's very sweet, not that good but cute and all for a good cause etc.

Am I the only one who doesn't hate the Wake Me Up cover then? :lol:

There's a lot in the top 10 I prefer it to right at this moment, though that's not really much of an accomplishment for it :P

Am I the only one who doesn't hate the Wake Me Up cover then? :lol:

I find it rather amusing for some reason. :P Rude, It's My Birthday and The Man are still worse #1's this year for me.

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

Worst number one this year.

 

Hate this time of year for number ones in general, with the X Factor's winning song, Children In Need single and now the John Lewis advert all threatening the top spot, stopping original good songs. :puke2:

Is John Craven the oldest living person ever to appear on a Number One single?

 

But is he actually still alive? :lol:

Is John Craven the oldest living person ever to appear on a Number One single?

 

Previous record-holder was Tom Jones at the age of 68 so yes I believe he is.

It's good to hear Jameela's done her research.

But is he actually still alive?

 

Recent evidence points to the fact that he is, just.

Am I the only one who doesn't hate the Wake Me Up cover then? :lol:

 

'Wake Me Up' is such a masterpiece that even a random charity choir can't make it sound bad. :)
