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.. :(

 

The opening instrumental and verses on Untouched is definitely a 10/10 but the chorus falls a bit flat and reverts the song to around an 8/9 overall.

 

You Ruin Me is quite nice, time will tell if I'll get bored of it or I'll grow to love it.

I dont think this was going to be given a proper release. It got changed to a pre-order after id already downloaded it

Congrats to Tom Odell for getting his highest peaking track to date with 'Real Love'. Hopefully it can hang around for a while yet! :)

Chart history (Year peak title):

 

2012 10 Another Love -EP/3-

2013 67 Can't Pretend -1-

2013 44 Hold Me -2-

2013 46 Grow Old With Me -4-

2014 07 Real Love -NAS-

2 Jason's favourites in a row. Go Tom Odell! :heart:

awful john lewis song, so boring :( wish they'd picked something as excellent as somewehere onlh we know/your song/power of love/slow moving millie :cry:

 

ah well, at least the ad is adorable

The start of Real Love sounded just like the end of You Ruin Me.

 

Another dreadfully dull song, I just can't stand this guy's vocals.

They made it as high as #3 once their pre-orders were added in IIRC. So happy they got another top 10 hit :cheer:

 

Yeah but only #8 for the whole week

This is so good too, I'm such a sucker for piano ballads in the winter :lol:

Tom Odell :wub: So wonderful to see this safely in the top 10, what a beautiful track.

Was hoping Tom would be a bit higher. Difficult to challenge for No.1 in the future with Band Aid released.

I thought 'You Ruin Me' was being replayed when 'Real Love' started playing! Those first few piano notes are really similar.

 

This is growing on me but it's not as good as last year's John Lewis ad song for me.

Real Love is a real grower. Didn't like it first time I heard it but love it now.

Somewhere Only We Know >>>>>>>>>>>> Real Love

 

glad this isn't looking likely to be a #1

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

 

Lay Me Down as well. His album avoids the trope though :P

 

Yay for Tom Odell easily outpeaking 'Another Love', hope he can get a bit higher than this still though.

The start of Real Love sounded just like the end of You Ruin Me.

 

Another dreadfully dull song, I just can't stand this guy's vocals.

I was thinking exactly that, seamless!

 

And yeah, don't really like this arrangement, weak version of a song I generally enjoy.

Great couple of songs in a row. Id much rather my music had emotion
