February 1, 201511 yr Highest entry?? Very odd. :lol: Absolutely love 'Hold Back the River', such a chilled out track, lovely.
February 1, 201511 yr Woo Go On James Bay getting that re-peak why did this re-enter the chart anyway though...Anyway good song to re-enter/peak :cheer:
February 1, 201511 yr nice to see this nabbing a new peak ~ James Bay is a really good singer so it is nice to see him gaining some popularity!
February 1, 201511 yr What's wrong with the message? I don't think they're actually saying that cool kids are better, but more the lyrics are from the perspective of outsiders who want to be seen like that, it's a common thing amongst a lot of teenagers that age (they'd know as most of Echosmith are still at school age!) I don't like how it shows that perspective and doesn't have anything in it to imply that that shouldn't be the case. It's implicit that it's bad to not be 'cool'.
February 1, 201511 yr Anyone in the UK planning to watch Superbowl XLIX Yeah, I plan to :D. Nice to see you posting again!
February 1, 201511 yr Hmmm after originally writing this off as typical male singer-songwriter garbage it does actually have a bit of substance to it. Not a bad track at all, but I still don't particularly like the tone of his voice...

For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artists at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. "Latch" hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, and many were surprised when his debut solo track took a more tempered path. The production on February 2013's "Lay Me Down" — also courtesy of the ordinarily dancefloor-focused duo Disclosure — recalled the stripped-back material that had proved successful for Adele in the preceding years. Next, Shahid Khan — aka Naughty Boy — decided to follow his Emeli Sandé-fronted U.K. Top Ten hit "Wonder" with the infectious, Bollywood sample-driven "La La La." Featuring Smith's powerful lead vocal, it became an instant May 2013 U.K. number one single following his spring tour in support of Sandé. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): 2012 11 Latch (Disclosure Feat.

February 1, 201511 yr If anyone follows Billboard this has had a remarkably similar run to Ed Sheeran's Sing on there (bar the 2 weeks top ten).
February 1, 201511 yr Like I Can is one of my favourite songs. There's been very few bad songs so far (though there are, unfortunately, a few coming up)
February 1, 201511 yr Definitely one of my favorites of his album! Really thought this could be even bigger but at least he got a pretty big hit for single #4!
February 1, 201511 yr nice to see this nabbing a new peak ~ James Bay is a really good singer so it is nice to see him gaining some popularity! I don't mind the track but I don't understand the hype...just doesn't interest me at all
February 1, 201511 yr 'Like I Can' is my second favourite single this era released so far, he definitely saved best two 'til last!
