December 21, 201411 yr Keep going Hozier! I thought it'd never reach the top 20 a while ago, what an incredible feat for it.
December 21, 201411 yr Hozier finally top 20 - and he may climb further yet, coming to break Imagine Dragons' record for latest point in an unbroken chart run to reach a peak? Still sounds great so hooray for its continued success :wub: Aside: some fun coincidences in the album chart this week. 38/40 of the top 40 are the same as last week, with a new entry from a rapper (Nicki Minaj) and a boyband (5 Seconds Of Summer) kicking out last week's only two new entries, which were by a rapper (J. Cole) and a boyband (Union J).
December 21, 201411 yr Biggest sleeper hit of 2014? Only other hits like this I can remember in recent years are The 1975's "Chocolate", Awolnation's "Sail" and Foster the People"s "Pumped Up Kicks". I remember hating this the first time I heard it (months and months ago, when it was #1 in Ireland), but I've really grown to enjoy it.
December 21, 201411 yr See, not all BJSC hits have short chart runs! :D hooRAH for this going top 20 finally!
December 21, 201411 yr I'm still excited to see what's chosen as the follow-up to this. He has so many great tracks on 'Listen' to choose from, I personally think he should leave the Emeli Sande one a bit longer. 'S.T.O.P.' (aka 'A Sky Full Of Stars') would be my number one choice. Or the Bebe Rexha one, I desperately want her to get more exposure.
December 21, 201411 yr Yay grab that top twenty peak Hozier! :cheer: Just catching up~ * :yahoo: 'all of me' has finally left the building :w00t: * still loving blonde :wub: * 'let it go' needs to DIE :mansoncheer:
December 21, 201411 yr So happy for Hozier! Absolutely brilliant song and one of the stand outs of 2014. Really deserving of a high chart position.
December 21, 201411 yr Has Take Me To Church now achieved the longest time in the top 40 before being top 20? Edited December 21, 201411 yr by zenon

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 21, 201411 yr Can this song just go away already. I think I'm more sick of this than All Of Me and Let It Go.
