This is SO much better than her last single it's unreal.

 

Not quite as good as 'Hideaway' though, but that's a tall order.

'No Enemiesz' is amazing! Really glad she has another top 40!

No Enemiesz :wub:

 

Deserves SO much higher but glad it got any weeks top 40 all things considered.

 

Not holding out much hope for the album next week...

This is a shocker- who authorised this??

Watching on a delay, but dead at Jameela's snigger in response to Rixton's fall. :lol:

 

Poor Kiesza - this is her best song imo.

Mightily relived Kiesza held on to a top 30 position in the end. :)

 

'No Enemiesz' :wub: :wub: :wub: in all honesty deserves to be top 5 tho! :angry:

What did you see in "No Enemiesz"??? It's totally dreadful imo. And russian airplay gone totally mad about "enemiesz"... duh :(

Another 30-second idea extended to a 3-minute pop song by filler

I think this is better than Giant in my Heart, but obviously not as good as Hideaway. She hasn't really made a real impact after Hideaway, she may go down as one of those wrongly assumed (but correct in a way) one hit wonders :(

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

So who's out of the top 40?

On the contrary Jameela, this is the song that made me hate Sam Smith (for a brief period at least).

 

He has redeemed himself with the following 2 releases fortunately.

YAY at Kiesza missing the top 20, can this be the downfall of her now plz

 

Let's hope the release of her album tomorrow can cause the song to climb higher

Good to see this starting to be squeezed out of the chart!
