December 7, 201411 yr This seemed to get a bigger boost from his performance on Alan Carr than the actual song that he performed! (Although Joseph reliably informs me this was already massively gaining before that anyway for some reason). Still really liking this anyway, I do hope 'Listen To The Man' can join it (and 'Blame It On Me') in the top 40 next week.

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 "Stay With Me" was very good for a while but now it sounds so nauseatingly bland I almost want to mute the chart show :manson:
December 7, 201411 yr Says something about how the singles chart has changed in recent years that "second single from album still T40 after the first one dropped out" is to be considered remarkable. Surely that would be considered remarkable in any era?
December 7, 201411 yr Sales and chart runs may have been dire 10 years ago but I think I prefer 2004 tbh

December 7, 201411 yr Oh will you PISS OFF Sam. Why is this climbing again :arrr: Maybe it's streaming what is causing the song to climb. I want this, "All About That Bass", "Thinking Out Loud" and "All Of Me" to drop out next
December 7, 201411 yr Maybe it's streaming what is causing the song to climb. Oh yes I forgot streaming was only added to the chart this week. :P
