[12+ wks] 46 785 Katy Perry - Birthday (46-28-20-14-13-9-5-7-10-11-16-23-33-44-xx) [14 wks] QUEEN CHERYL kicks things off at #50 with her UK and multichart #1 smash hit I Don't Care. The track is one of my personal favourites by Cheryl so seeing it become a #1 was great. It didn't have the best longevity in either the multi or the chart but a #1 is a #1 ^_^ Cheryl still has one more track to appear. Beyoncé had two songs impacting at the same time with XO and Drunk In Love smashing the multichart top 10 when her self-titled fifth album got released out of nowhere. Ultimately, Drunk In Love ended up being the bigger hit of the two in both the official chart and the multi, and is still to appear. XO got a BRITs performance last February but the track never quite took off really. It did, however, do better than Partition, Pretty Hurts and the terrible Flawless Remix I guess. And that other thing she did recently which I daren't name. Lorde had a UK #1 hit with Royals back in 2013, and followed it up with a much smaller hit in the form of Team. It's actually the superior track by quite a way IMO and it's good to see that Buzzjack liked it, sending it up to #6 in the multichart! Clean Bandit had a great 2014 with their first EVER UK #1 Rather Be :jameela: The track is also still to come here, and was a huge #1 so don't expect it any time soon. Follow-up Extraordinary stood the test of time better actually IMO (I realise this isn't a popular opinion). This song, however, is just very nothingy to me. :( It's spent annoyingly long in the multichart and is finally dropping now although that part of its chart run is excluded cause it's only showing to the end of 2014. BORE OFF. Finally, Katy Perry's fourth Prism single, Birthday, is at #46. The track was a moderate multi hit although not as big as previous hit Dark Horse which went to #1. I personally love the track and think it's a fun track with an excellent vibe. The track got no higher than #22 in the official chart but it had reasonable longevity and is the third best selling single of the era if I'm not mistaken.

His best hit of last year imo, the Buzzjack run was pretty impressive in top 10 terms but two weeks after it was #8 it was 30 places lower. Then we come to "Children Of The Universe", the UK entry to the Eurovision Song Contest last year. A great entry that had a consistent run from the time it was revealed until the contest itself. Molly peaked in the top 2 at the height of Eurovision fever but the post-top 5 weeks weren't so pretty. Poor flop, if only her result in Copenhagen had been better. #43 we have Nelly fave Foxes with "Let Go For Tonight", a very decent pop song though not quite amazing. Has that OA/OS / slow burner kinda run, spent two weeks top 5, four weeks top 10, had a more graceful descent. Slightly ahead is the follow-up to "Rather Be". "Extraordinary" had a pretty consistent run spending roughly half of it's weeks on chart in the top 20 but outside the top 10. The rise to #9 followed by two weeks outside of the top 10 followed by a re-peak at #6 and then out of the top 10 again looks a bit odd. Easily the longest runner among this group is the amazing "Human" by Christina Perri, spending almost half of 2014 on the multichart. Helped by there being a long time between the premiere of the song and the UK release, it spent that time fluctuating a bit, eventually peaking at #9 and only spending six more weeks on chart after. The week at #26 seems to stick out.

And this is why you should be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it~ Kicking off our top 40 is former Multichart #5, "Stay With Me". It didn't overstay its welcome in the weekly Multichart, but as nearly all safe/pedestrian ballads do, MASSIVELY overstayed its welcome in the UK charts. Follow-up single "I'm Not The Only One" was slightly better, though that song and Stay With Me really tend to just blend into each other nowadays. It peaked at #10 on the Multi, and spent six weeks between #13-16 afterwards. Kiesza managed two Multichart #1s this year; first with "Hideaway", and then again with follow-up "Giant In My Heart"! Though of course it didn't quite have the longevity of its predecessor, 16 weeks overall still ain't half bad. A Great Big World's "Say Something" burst into prominence through its usage on 'So You Think You Can Dance?', and caught the attention of one Christina Aguilera, and the track was re-recorded with a guest vocal from her. Say Something went on to be a worldwide hit, also peaking at #4 in the UK, and most importantly #6 in the Multichart (and curiously seemed to drop off rather quickly following said peak). Coldplay's proper comeback single "Magic" is a sombre moment, but still engaging enough to be a fine listen <3 The song immediately charted in the UK top 10, though took a tad longer on the Multichart- spending seven weeks bounding around the Top 15 (FIVE of those weeks at #12!) before finally reaching a #9 peak.

It has, however, been omnipresent in the UK top 40 ever since its release. In the multichart, it proved to be a bit of a slow burner but eventually edged its way up to #7. Ed still has another song to come, in the form of his first EVER UK #1, Sing :jameela: Mr Probz reached the top of the UK charts with his track Waves, mostly down to the Robin Schulz remix of the track although Schulz is not credited officially. It did less well here but still had an impressive 6 weeks in the top 10 for such a boring track :ph34r: It's followed by another UK #1, which is even worse. Calvin Harris decided to torture us with lend us his vocals for Summer, the second single from album Motion. It proved to be a huge hit in the chart but would've actually been denied #1 if streaming were implemented earlier by Waves itself! With the best track of the section, The Saturdays are at #32 with Not Giving Up. The track got its release many months after UK #5 hit Disco Love impacted, and the hype had pretty much vanished. It also took its radio support with it. That didn't stop it being a big multichart hit of course due to their huge following on the forum, having originally charted as an album track before re-entering following its single announcement and eventually peaking at #4. Before a quick dive down, eek. What Are You Waiting For? fared better and is still to come. Coldplay make their final appearance of the section now with A Sky Full of Snores, produced by Avicii. Quite funny really, cause Avicii got the same treatment as the vocalists on his own tracks. The song took a while to go top 10 in the UK but ended up getting there in the multi after just 2 weeks, and had a long and enduring chart run, not dropping too quickly at any point.
March 4, 201510 yr Avicii is just a fan of last.fm and knows features can easily screw up things for people if they don't sort their shit out. He's just making it easier on us. Also - :whistle:

And a multichart #1 too!! An absolutely stunning song, wish it could've hung around in the UK but beggars can't be choosers. A point ahead are The Vamps with what many see as their best song. I wonder why, does it feature a popular female popstar by any chance. :thinking: Regardless, it's great to see my faves getting some appreciation, it's not everyday a boyband are top 5 on the multichart. Another Joseph fave in the form of Cheryl Cole, must admit that "Crazy Stupid Love" did rather well for a song that many seemingly dislike but it's not like haters get a say in this success. The sax remains an abomination, that is all. A point ahead of her is Beyoncé with one of the most quotable songs OF ALL TIME. "Drunk In Love" had a bit of a yo-yo run and a #8 peak seems a bit low but with the way it was handled and "XO" also being around it's not a massive surprise, it stuck around really well. From a Kanye reference to a Kanye sample in "Nobody To Love", one of the very very best dance hits of last year. :heart: Had a great run with a graceful descent but in Buzzjack terms Sigma went on to something even bigger later in the year, stay tuned..

We kick off with The Saturdays most recent and arguably most floptastic single to date- "What Are You Waiting For?" was very much a bargain bin I Love It/Trouble and due to The Saturdays' name being attached to it the song spent 8 weeks in the Top 10 here before an incredibly random 15-place tumble to #19! Duke Dumont's second smash hit came in the form of "I Got U" alongside Jax Jones, a steel drum-laden sizzler that found its way to #1 in both the Official and Multi charts, and many a summer playlist for sure. Nicki Minaj landed the infamous single "Anaconda" in the summer- a song so shameless, over-the-top and utterly ridiculous, but i'd argue it's all the more enjoyable for those reasons! It had a surprisingly low-ish peak of #6 but managed a nice run in the top 20 soon after. Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" brought a touch of poppy doo-wop to the charts, marred with some questionable lyrics (particularly regarding 'skinny bitches'- though I guess Anaconda's "f*** them skinny bitches in the club!" gets a free pass). The song topped the official chart, but couldn't quite get past the #2 spot here. Kylie's comeback single "Into The Blue" didn't set the charts alight in reality, but as one would expect Buzzjack took to it well- as it racked up 2 weeks upon the Multichart summit, following a lengthy-ish top 10 run, though followed by a fairly quick-ish drop off.

Charli was previously known for writing Icona Pop's I Love It and singing the chorus to Iggy Azalea's Fancy :jameela: but Boom Clap was the first hit she had in her own right. It went to #6 in the UK but managed to top the multi, for 2 weeks! As with many multi #1s, it had a pretty quick drop-off but not quite as quick as some others we've seen already. Jessie J seems to be a figure of MASS HATRED on Buzzjack but Bang Bang seems to have fared very well all things considered in the multichart, managing a peak of #3 and several weeks top 10! Not quite as huge as you'd expect a collab between three female pop heavyweights to be on Buzzjack but could've been worse. Ella Henderson's debut single Ghost was a HUGE multichart smash and is still to come, but for now we have its follow-up, Glow. Glow performed considerably worse officially than Ghost but Glow doesn't do TOO much worse, still getting to #1 (for 3 weeks too!) and spending 18 weeks in the chart in total, quite impressive. For me, it's possibly her weakest single but I really like all four so that's not saying too much. Rita Ora had a bit of a tough 2014 what with her break-up with Calvin Harris meaning that she lost her entire album, as it was produced by him. Ouch. She got a #1 single still though, both in the UK and on the multichart, with the euphoric I Will Never Let You Down. I'd have loved to hear some more of this direction for Rita but sadly it wasn't meant to be. She still hasn't followed it up, oops. Calvin has no songs still to come so Rita at least has Buzzjack x Finally, chilled dance hit Prayer In C was another UK #1, not quite getting there in the multi but had 5 weeks in the top 5 and a relatively steady decline down the chart compared to some tracks in the multi. The Prick got his well-deserved credit here with Robin Schulz relegated. Bye.
