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

I don't get why 'Say Something' has so many fans while this is almost universally reviled. Very similar songs (and Labrinth's is better as it actually has some emotion in it).

 

nah Say Something is miles better, I don't think his pitchy performance on X Factor helped sell the song either.

For me both are awful but Jealous hasn't been around long enough yet to warrant that level of hatred :lol:

 

Real Love :D (the better one)

If Take That beat Band Aid, will that be the first time that streaming has directly affected No.1?

Delighted 'Real Love' is still in the top five! :wub: :wub: :wub:

The performance was poor yes, but even the studio version seems to only get hate.

 

If Take That beat Band Aid, will that be the first time that streaming has directly affected No.1?

 

Possibly yes, possibly no. Depends on if they outsold BA30 or not.

If Take That beat Band Aid, will that be the first time that streaming has directly affected No.1?

Only if it's very close. Take That have quite possibly outsold Band Aid anyway considering the gap at the end of the week.

If Take That beat Band Aid, will that be the first time that streaming has directly affected No.1?

 

I don't think streaming will be the deciding factor - Band Aid slipped badly on iTunes.

Oh how I'm looking forward to this potentially going back to Number 1 next week :rolleyes: (that was sarcasm :P)

Biography

Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. Raised in Framlingham, Suffolk, he moved to London in 2008 to pursue a musical career. In early 2011, Sheeran released an independent extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of both Elton John and Jamie Foxx. He then signed to Asylum Records. His 2011 debut album, +, containing the singles "The A Team" and "Lego House", was certified quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom. In 2012, he won two BRIT Awards for Best British Male and British Breakthrough. "The A Team" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

 

Sheeran began to be known in the United States in 2012. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, and wrote songs for One Direction. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards and he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. He spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift's Red Tour. His second studio album is titled x, read as "multiply", and is scheduled for worldwide release on 23 June 2014. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. - Wikipedia

Thanks guys!

 

Was half expecting Ed to have shot past Olly at the last second with his XF effect. Glad he hasn't though so Olly at least has a safe second week top 3 (I expect he could still climb to at least #2 next week, if not remaining at #3).

Thank you very much Ben Haenow (and the voting British public)...

 

:banghead: :puke:

I am horrified at the prospect of this offensively saccharine tripe returning to No1 next Sunday! :manson:

Biography

With a "cheeky chappy" persona to match Robbie Williams and vocals reminiscent of original Pop Idol Will Young, former call-center worker Olly Murs was one of the success stories of the 2009 season of The X Factor, finishing runner-up to Joe McElderry in the hotly contested final. Born in Essex in 1984, Murs showed little interest in singing while at school, focusing his attention on football, where he played for the school team and later semi-professionally for local non-league team Witham Town. In 2007, he appeared on Deal or No Deal, where he won a lowly £10, but it was his performance of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on the sixth series of The X Factor that enabled him to show off his talents. Mentored by Simon Cowell in the live stages, he wowed judges with renditions of songs by the Beatles, Queen, and George Michael and soon became the favorite to win the show. However, despite a duet with musical hero Robbie Williams in the final, Murs finished a respectable second. In 2010, he signed a six-figure record deal with Epic/Syco Music and embarked on the sold-out X Factor arena tour. After being personally invited by Williams to play at the televised charity football event Soccer Aid, Murs released his first single, the Jason Mraz-inspired "Please Don't Let Me Go," in August. His debut album, featuring songs written by Eg White, Scouting for Girls' Roy Stride, and Wayne Hector, was released in 2010. The record produced three U.K. Top 20 singles, with "Thinking of Me" and "Heart on My Sleeve" racking up chart positions alongside the debut number one "Please Don't Let Me Go."

 

Murs took a short break from his musical career in late 2011 to present the eighth season of The Xtra Factor — a spinoff behind-the-scenes look at The X Factor — returning to the program that shot him to fame. His experience with the dynamics involved in the show and his upbeat character made him a firm favorite with the audience — as well as flirty co-presenter Caroline Flack. During the recording of each show, Murs was working on songs for his second album with writers Steve Robson (Lily Allen, James Morrison) and Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson, Backstreet Boys). The first single from his second record, "Heart Skips a Beat," featuring U.K. hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks, was released in summer 2011 and swiftly became a hit. The full release, In Case You Didn't Know, followed in November and secured his first U.K. number one album. The following year, Murs opened for sprightly boy band One Direction on their North American tour and re-released the "Heart Skips a Beat" single, replacing Rizzle Kicks with Philadelphia rap duo Chiddy Bang, to coincide with the shows. Also in 2012, Murs released his third studio album, Right Place Right Time, which included the single "Troublemaker," featuring rapper Flo Rida. ~ Jon O'Brien & Scott Kerr, Rovi / iTunes

:banghead: :puke:

At least it's not as bad now as it will be when we're putting up with it being covered on X Factor next year as well probably :P

Olly staying at Number 3. I'm still not totally into 'Wrapped Up' yet. :(

This is more like it :D such a catchy feelgood track! Might even be my favourite lead by him now as Troublemaker got a bit overplayed in the end (hopefully this won't go the same way)

At least it's not as bad now as it will be when we're putting up with it being covered on X Factor next year as well probably :P

 

Shuddering at the thought already :lol:

But this is just 'Troublemaker' with an even worse rapper.
