December 7, 201411 yr Haven't heard this before but it's quite intriguing on first listen, nice to have something a bit different charting.
December 7, 201411 yr Love this song, gives me goosebumps when it starts building even out of context. Still need to see the film though argh

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.

December 7, 201411 yr I now love 'Like I Can', despite not exactly being a Sam Smith fan and initially finding it underwhelming. Definitely a grower.
December 7, 201411 yr Like I Can is superb. Need to make more upbeat songs like this Sam! To me Sam Smith is the very definition of DULL.
December 7, 201411 yr Like I Can is superb. Need to make more upbeat songs like this Sam!This does the job :D d5S3ydvZBUo
December 7, 201411 yr 'Like I Can' is quickly becoming one of my favorite singles of his. It's a refreshing change of pace from his usual ballad fare.
December 7, 201411 yr Bar "Stay with Me", I could listen to Sam Smith's music on repeat. "Like I Can" deserves to return to the T10 somehow and make sure he's on course for a fourth solo platinum record ("I'm Not the Only One" can't be too far off now surely?)
December 7, 201411 yr Love this Sam Smith song! Awesome voice Re your avatar: Hasn't Gary got 15 No 1 singles now: 12 with Take That, and Forever Love, Love Won't Wait and Sing ?

At a press conference on 10 November 2014, Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure announced that in 2014 a group of artists would again come together to re-record the song, this time under the banner of 'Band Aid 30' and in aid of the Ebola crisis.

December 7, 201411 yr Re your avatar: Hasn't Gary got 15 No 1 singles now: 12 with Take That, and Forever Love, Love Won't Wait and Sing ? Haha good point! Thanks I'll update it now
December 7, 201411 yr Flop Aid such floppage :no: Hope it can get a decent climb next week off the CD release, it definitely won't be going back to #1 though.
December 7, 201411 yr Never been crazy about this version of 'Do They Know It's Christmas'. Terrible chart run. How many physical's are being released? Can it climb back into the top 5? It makes me appreciate the original or even Band Aid 20. :(
