Glow, really? I don't know anymore. File alongside the Sats' entries.

 

So cool to see Prayer In C and Boom Clap up this high though, both definitely among the best of the year's hits.

In typical Buzzjack form, we haven't had a song with a male vocalist since Sigma's 'Nobody To Love' at #26. I can reveal that Ed Sheeran is the highest male lead vocalist in the chart, here at #15 with 'Sing'. This was the first single from his second album x which saw Ed successfully go uptempo. It was held back from release for a ridiculously long time in the UK but I think that helped its slow climb up the Multichart!

 

Next at #14 is Sigma's second official #1 and first Multichart #1 with 'Changing'. Vice-versa for Paloma Faith, it's her first official #1 and second Multichart #1. This was her only song of late to get Radio 1 support, if I remember correctly, and thank goodness for that because her voice works wonders on this track.

 

What is it with these gingers!? Three in a row now with Katy B's 'Crying For No Reason' at #13. She made a lot of new fans on Buzzjack with her second album Little Red, but it didn't look so good for her chart-wise until this, the third single, had good support and made the top 5 officially. This was topped off by Katy's album debuting at #1 the following week!

 

After Katy B is another Katy: Katy Perry, featuring Juicy J with 'Dark Horse'. This was recorded during a brief trap phase for Ms. Perry. The song sold rather well as just an album track so it unsurprisingly did huge things as the third single from Prism. The surprise was that it was Katy's second and final top 10 from the album, quite a disappointment following Teenage Dream. Juicy J's real name is very nearly the same as mine, if that's not a fun fact then I don't know what is.

 

Oh this is awkward. Just as 'Dark Horse' was on its way out of the chart, Iggy Azalea released a VERY similar-sounding song, called 'Black Widow' and featuring Rita Ora. It clearly worked well for Iggy as she lands just one place above 'Dark Horse' on our chart, and its official peak was higher by one place as well. That #3 peak culminated the pattern of each Iggy single charting higher than the one before it. It was also Iggy's first Multichart #1! Should've been 'Fancy' but what can ya do.

10 1260 Taylor Swift - Shake It Off (29-2-2-2-1-1-2-1-3-2-2-5-7-12-18-27-22-19-27-...) [19 wks]

 

Top 10 here we finally are :o Taylor Swift launched "Shake It Off" as the lead single from 1989 in August, debuting at #29 in the Multi before shooting up to #2 one week later. Though it took another 3 weeks to finally grab the #1 spot off the pesky Blegh Widow. Shake It Off ultimately managed 3 weeks at #1. Non-consecutively though- Taylor kept shakin' it off so much, she accidentally shook off her weave, sending it flying into the hands of Sigma & Paloma Faith momentarily!

9 1266 Kiesza - Hideaway (58-41-35-22-8-5-2-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-8-16-21-27-27-26-40-59-xx) [22 wks]

 

Now we've arrived at the real SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH. Somehow, Kiesza and her voice which is surely so high-pitched that only dogs can hear it managed five weeks at #1 here, in addition to one week at #1 in the official chart. Thankfully, she's seen diminishing returns in both charts - Giant In My Heart was a multichart #1 too but it fell quickly, with No Enemiesz missing the top 10 and Sound of a Woman missing the entire top 75. Bye x

This was quite the surprise smash for Paloma on the official charts, following the lackluster performance of lead single 'Can't Rely On You'. But that didn't stop 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This' from leaping up the top 40 to quickly become her highest-peaking single in the UK. That kind of run was replicated on the Multichart, becoming Paloma's first #1 there in just its fifth week. She even had herself an international hit, especially in Australia where this song reached #1! It is probably her best song, too, so the acclaim is very much deserved.

GRANDE :wub:

 

Ariana ended 2013 a fairly big name but was still looking for that killer smash hit. She needed to look no further than the sax-y r&b pop gem "Problem", which propelled her to #1 in the UK, though ended stalling at #2 (for 5 weeks) on the Multi- not able to unseat Ella Henderson's "Ghost"

6 1337 G.R.L. - Ugly Heart (46-28-40-25-16-12-13-17-10-3-2-2-5-2-6-11-13-15-17-22-29-48-51-59-71-...) [25+ wks]

 

G.R.L. started out as the new line-up of popular girl group The Pussycat Dolls before they underwent a name change, and seemed to be lingering around before they eventually broke through with the smash hit Ugly Heart. Before this, they featured on Pitbull's UK top 10 hit Wild Wild Love, but Ugly Heart was their first smash as lead artists. It cruelly missed out on the top 10 by one place in the UK due to DAMN STREAMING!!!!!1! and missed out on the multichart top spot also by one spot. The track charted in the UK just one day after the sad news that Simone Battle had committed suicide. R.I.P. Simone :( Regardless, Ugly Heart remains a huge pop song for me and shows that there is a market for pop despite the music scene being filled so hugely with dance.
