The first of 2 Olly tracks in the Top 10 this week :o

 

Maybe they both dropped out of the top 40 - well, I can hope... :teresa:

Travie really sounds like Pitbull on this :(

Got the impression there was very little 'hype' building up to Olly's fourth album, but I'm so glad that since "Wrapped Up" was released it seems to have just exploded - this is such a great pop number and "Up" is just incredible!

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

What is a Bed wetting song? ;)

 

Wonder if she means changing the bed in the middle of the night cos you've wet it :lol:?

 

Memories of my childhood :kink:

I really like this!

It's the first post Christmas chart I can remember where we've had so many Xmas tracks still in the chart!! I remember one year when there were 11 reentries and 3/4 new entries and all the Xmas tracks had gone...if streaming could so this every year I'd be happy!

 

Also, if next year is the anniversary of Kirsty MacColl's death please can we have a campaign to write the wrong of this never being a Christmas number one?!

Every year is the anniversary of Kirsty's death. Every year is the anniversary of everything that has ever happened.

5 weeks top 10 (probably 6 next week) has exceeded many an expectation. The Flood only managed 6 weeks!

Hooray for 'Wrapped Up' re-entering the top 10 - unfortunately missed almost all of it as the Internet cut off for a bit though :P

Biography

Alessandro Lindblad, more commonly known as Alesso, was a DJ and dance music producer from Stockholm, Sweden. His career quickly gained mainstream recognition for his remixes of Tiësto, Swedish House Mafia, and Avicii, as well as his own productions. His first major achievement was in 2011 when his remix of Nadia Ali's track "Pressure" was one of the most successful EDM tracks of the year. Later in the same year, he placed in DJ Mag's Top 100 list, debuting at number 70. Early 2012 started well for him also, when he was named one of MTV's "one to watch," making his first BBC Radio 1 essential mix, and earning the track of the year award on Zane Lowe's prime-time Radio 1 slot for the single "Calling (Lose My Mind)." He also managed to move up many places in DJ Mag's DJ of the Year listings to number 20. He leaped to major success when he achieved a U.K. chart number one with his collaborative single "Under Control" alongside Calvin Harris and Hurts. - iTunes

Alesso at #6. :cheer: I was hoping he could go Top 5, but #6 is pretty respectable. Hope it doesn't dive down next week now.

That's a pretty excellent result for 'Heroes', much higher than I was expecting.

 

Tove Lo's vocals are so good.

:yahoo: Big congrats to Heroes! (was top 10 ever really in doubt?!)

 

The only new entry of the day and by FAR the best song in the entire chart!
