If Mark holds on at No.1 and hits 100k again (it's possible) that will be 6 weeks in a row of 100k plus. When did that last happen? :o

I hope Jameela asks Hozier what it feels like to be ahead of the likes of Pharrell Williams and Demi Lovato :jameela:

Maybe I'm the only one but I prefer a lot Up to Wrapped Up (which was overrated imo)

Nope, I completely agree!

I think it was Bleeding Love (2007/8)

 

Failing that, it was Umbrella 10 weeks :o :drama: :D

Umbrella never reached 100k in a week ;)

I think it was Bleeding Love (2007/8)

 

Failing that, it was Umbrella :drama: :D

 

I thought 'Umbrella' had quite low sales over her 10 weeks at No.1

Good to see 'Take Me To Church' in the Top 3. This is probably it's peak for now though.

Failing that, it was Umbrella 10 weeks :o :drama: :D

Thats didn't even get 1 week of 100k sales.

Has this matched Imagine Dragons' record for peaking the latest into an unbroken top 75 run? IIRC 'Radioactive' also peaked in its 20th week. (This could still get higher as well).

 

Updated the peak of this in the album chart post (as there isn't a second post this week I might as well just go do that now :P)

I thought 'Umbrella' had quite low sales over her 10 weeks at No.1

It did :D

Umbrella never reached 100k in a week ;)

Of course, what low sales they were! :o

 

I was talking about the 6 week streak :teresa:

 

But 6 weeks of 100k idk :lol:

Argh, Hozier just keeps outperforming my expectations. Hope it doesn't stop here either. This is actually a wonderful top 3 to send Jameela off with.

Cher's "Believe" is the answer I believe :D

I bet Phillip George wishes he had released "Wish You Were Mine" some other time!

We were told at school that the tannoy would play music at lunchtime that was uplifting to wake us up a bit, and they played THIS :lol: not exactly feel-good!

 

Oh well, I am into it though, and it's ascent up the chart has been wonderful to observe! ^_^

The first verse of 'Take Me To Church' sounds like it was roughly written using a rhyming dictionary.

Happy Top 3 to Hozier. I'm sure a few posters predicted it would be a big hit weeks ago when it was hovering up and down outside the Top 30. Just watched the video for the first time last week! Wow, pretty heavy!

This is slowly becoming tolerable again (I feel I've gone 720 on this track :lol:)

 

The voice is still a bit shouty (hence I don't like the verses) but I REALLY like the middle part.
