Uptown Funk is a good song but I'm so sick of it already if I'm honest :( It's nowhere near as bad as say Happy or Get Lucky but I wouldn't really listen to it out of choice anymore really.

'Love Me Like You Do' preorder is now up for release this Sunday. Good decision.

 

Good move, although kind of a shame as I was actually quite interested to see if one of the new releases on 9th February would've made number 1.

'Love Me Like You Do' is my favourite song of 2015, It's more first album Ellie rather than second album Ellie. I need 'Lighthouse' now to smash and I'll be happy!

804 Charli XCX Doing It (feat. Rita Ora) :unsure:

 

With just over a week to go, this isn't taking off the way I'd hoped. By the time her management had sorted out the mess of the pre-order situation, the airplay from Kiss and Capital has died off (presumably because they just saw that the Pre-order was doing nothing and hadn't realised they'd priced it wrong) I'm hoping it can at least outdo 'Break The Rules' though.

Well that is a good move from Ellie, she'll probably pick up a few weeks at #1 now (4+ again?) so we'll start off the year with a couple of long runners. Mainly down to there being piss all major releases although of course 'Uptown Funk' had sustained massive sales and I expect 'Love Me Like You Do' could as well. I'll be happy to see Ellie getting another #1 although I'm not a huge fan of the song yet, hoping it is a big grower.

Doing It must be top 3 but it won't... shame.

Great to see Ellie pushed forward :cheer: however it would've been cool to see Funk spend just one more week at #1 :D but I shouldn't complain, besides, they are both great songs but I like Ellie's more :D

 

Shame to see Charli lacking pre's momentum, but I do hope it does better than Flop The Rules :drama:

And also another :drama: to 45s bring a fair distance ahead of #3 in pop bars. I really hope this isn't the 2015 All Of Me :please:

Charli XCX 'Disco Love' deserves to be at least top 10 but i'm predicting #24 which is a great shame. I'm not so sure radio are going to support her if this bombs. It was looking so good following 'Fancy' and 'Boom Clap'. 'Break The Rules' just debuted at #07 in Germany without any promotion :o

It went to #1 on iTunes following the use on their version of "I'm A Celeb", so it definately had exposure, basically every song used goes to #1 on iTunes there

The Sats need to speak to I'm A Celeb in Germany then!

Kanye West 'Only One' back to #54 after the video release! :D

Interesting and brave decision from the record company, I don't think it'll be quite the massive walkover that others anticipate because "Uptown Funk" will keep a 20-25K advantage thanks to streaming (which will take a few weeks for Ellie to replicate if it is as big a hit) - plus its high pre-order position is very much boosted from the fact that sales are continuing to dwindle away. E.g. "Shake It Off" which frequently shows up at around #10 on iTunes is only selling ~1.5K/day.

 

She should debut at #1 though, and be in for a fairly lengthy run with total sales stabilising when streams catch-up with the initial pure sales boost.

Just noticed Axwell /\ Ingrosso Something New is under the AxwellIngrossoVEVO channel :huh: why is that? I know they both were part of Swedish House Mafia with Steve Angello but does this suggest that they are going to regularly make music together rather than just a one off? It's like it's still SHM but Steve Angello left :lol:

Axwell Λ Ingrosso is a permanent duo. And yes it is essentially a continuation of SHM except without Steve Angello.

 

Dappy's pre-order slaying the top 150! Quite surprising he still has such a fanbase TBH. When is that N-Dubz reunion happening ~

I was looking on Wikipedia for a possibility of this but couldn't find anything. I always assumed all three artists broke up as a joint decision to do their own work...

Haven't listened to it yet but quite a big Dappy fan :D and hope it does well in the chart! :cheer:

When indeed? :drama:

 

EDIT: listening now :P

Not that much to it yet but could get into it. He's done better but not really used to this sort of stuff from him :thinking:

Axwell Λ Ingrosso are going to do an album together, so this won't be the only song they do together (actually Something New is their 3rd collaboration under the name Axwell Λ Ingrosso but the other 2 were not given a commercial push)

You didn't look very hard then.

This is even linked in the opening paragraph of the SHM article.

Damn :drama: I looked on both artist's individual articles and looked the last biography paragraph of SHM's article :mellow:
