Olly slaying 1D as usual, being higher with his post-album single *.* (I actually prefer 'Night Changes' to 'Up' but both are good).

:zzz:

I don't know how people are hearing 'treble' as 'trouble' in AATB, it's plain and clear what it actually is?

 

Same for that "starbucks lovers" thing in 'Blank Space', I'm convinced people are just saying that to try and be funny.

By no means the worst 1D song, but that's not saying much, it's still rather awful~

Four songs that had a Top 40 midweek position but failed to keep it by Sunday.

 

Photograph - Ed Sheeran ( Midweek Position: # 32 )

Demons - Imagine Dragons ( Midweek Position: # 33 )

The Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden ( Midweek Position: # 36 )

Changing - Sigma Ft Paloma Faith ( Midweek Position: # 39 )

Same for that "starbucks lovers" thing in 'Blank Space', I'm convinced people are just saying that to try and be funny.

I actually do genuinely hear it as Starbucks Lovers.

Love to hear Jameela's reaction to the Wealdstone Raider track

Biography

Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed with the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's eponymous debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

 

Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008. Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless became the best-selling album of 2009 and was supported by an extensive concert tour. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Swift's third album, 2010's Speak Now, sold over one million copies in its first week of US release and was supported by the Speak Now World Tour. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards. Swift's fourth album, Red, was released in 2012. Its opening US sales of 1.2 million were the highest recorded in a decade, with Swift becoming the only female artist to have two million-plus opening weeks. The singles "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" were worldwide hits. The Red Tour is visiting worldwide venues in 2013 and 2014.

 

Swift is known for her narrative songs about her experiences as a teenager and young adult. As a songwriter, she has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Swift's other achievements include seven Grammy Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, eleven American Music Awards, eleven Country Music Association Awards and six Academy of Country Music Awards. She has sold over 26 million albums and 75 million digital single downloads worldwide. Forbes estimates that she is worth over $220 million. In addition to her music career, Swift has appeared as an actress in the ensemble comedy Valentine's Day (2010) and the animated film The Lorax (2012). As a philanthropist, Swift supports arts education, children's literacy, natural disaster relief, LGBT anti-discrimination efforts, and charities for sick children. - Wikipedia

I really don't get the 'starbucks lovers' thing either, sounds nothing like the actual lyric.

I genuinely thought it was Starbucks Lovers for ages. Even though I knew it made little sense.

I actually do genuinely hear it as Starbucks Lovers.

 

Snap! :magic:

 

Another weekly dose of Starbucks Lovers~

 

One of her very best for me.

 

And it's only when you know the actual lyrics do you realise how silly hearing Starbucks lovers was but at face value it sounded entirely plausible!

It's NOT that?? :blink:

I adore this so so much, definitely one of my favourite songs this year :wub:

It's NOT that?? :blink:

 

"Long list of ex-lovers".

 

To me it very clearly says that, but it's fair enough if people hear it differently...

I can kind of see where 'Starbucks Lovers' comes from but I can't say I hear it myself (maybe because I knew what the actual lyric was before I heard the song).

 

This is still so so good, wonder if it could contend for #2 next week with the gift card effect (Mark Ronson will prevent her from challenging for #1 of course).

"Long list of ex-lovers".

 

To me it very clearly says that, but it's fair enough if people hear it differently...

I heard Starbucks Lovers too, but to be honest I didn't really take care of the lyrics until now :lol:

Biography

Take That are a British pop group that formed in 1990 currently consisting of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Barlow acts as the group's lead singer and primary songwriter. Owen and Williams would provide backing vocals, with Donald and Orange serving primarily as dancers. In total, the group have had 27 top 40 singles and 16 top 5 singles in the United Kingdom alone, 11 of which have reached number 1, as well as having seven number 1 albums. Internationally the band have had 54 number one hits and 35 number-one albums. Robbie Williams left the band in 1995 while the four remaining members completed their world tour and released a final single before splitting up in 1996.

 

After filming a 2005 documentary about the group and releasing a new greatest hits album, a four-piece Take That without Williams officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that the group were set to record new material together once again; their fourth studio album, Beautiful World, was released in 2006 and was followed up with The Circus, in 2008. The group achieved new success as a four-piece, scoring a string of chart hits across the UK and Europe while taking the number of records sold to 45 million worldwide. Williams rejoined Take That in 2010 for the band's sixth studio album, Progress. It was released on 15 November of that year and became the fastest selling album of the 21st century and the second fastest selling album in British history, whilst also making it the first album of new material to feature Take That's original line-up since their 1995 album, Nobody Else. Since 2011, Take That have set the new record for the fastest selling tour of all time in the UK with Progress Live, beating the previous record set by their Circus Live Tour in 2009, won the BRIT Award for Best British Group, and were named as Amazon's top-selling music artist of all time. In 2012, the band were announced by Forbes as the fifth highest-earning music stars in the world. In the same year, the Official Charts Company revealed the biggest selling singles artists in British music chart history with Take That currently placed at 15th overall, making them the most successful boy band in UK chart history. - Wikipedia
