Why would a DJ play that in a club, are they mad?

 

I wondered that. Tbf it did have a random dancey beat behind it (possibly some remix) but it could barely be heard :lol:

Why would a DJ play that in a club, are they mad?

 

 

A very poor choice for a nightclub.

Mine was ABBA - Mamma Mia. Think Twice is a 90s classic so don't fret :P Was huge at the time!

Mine was "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)"

It may have a great message/theme or whatever but that doesnt necessarily make it a good song imo.

 

His vocals are terrible and the production is really depressing, it just sounds really gloomy and dull, like I am being shouted at... I can see why people like it but not for me thanks.

Well indeed. There is a way to put your dislike (like you have) and then the non-constructive way :D

This is the longest we've had to wait for the first new #1 of a year since 1993 when 2 Unlimited finally ended Whitney Houston's 10 week reign (w/e 07/02/1993)~

*Shamelessly nicks that fact for next week's commentary*

Why would a DJ play that in a club, are they mad?

 

It's what we call the 'P*** off I wanna go home' song :lol:

*Shamelessly nicks that fact for next week's commentary*

Good fact! January is usually the busiest time for new number 1s!

It's been said before but I wish they'd play some non-top 40 entries instead of last week's top 3. They'll be played later anyway.

Mine was ABBA - Mamma Mia. Think Twice is a 90s classic so don't fret :P Was huge at the time!

 

 

Mine was T-Rex - Get it on back in 1971

It's a shame as her last couple of singles were quite good imo. :(

I really liked Into The Blue! I hope Right Here, Right Now makes the top 40.

It's what we call the 'P*** off I wanna go home' song :lol:

 

That would make sense but it must have been about half way through the night. Fortunately there were multiple rooms to switch to.

Biography

Favoring a naughty schoolboy look that makes him seem even younger than his already tender years (22 when his first major-label album was released), Scottish artist, producer, and remixer Calvin Harris has a similarly youthful and forward-looking approach to his music. Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through MySpace and similar sites, to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. A short time later, he was producing material for Kylie Minogue, Dizzee Rascal, and Rihanna.

 

Born on January 17, 1984, in the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, Harris was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. Two of these songs, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days," were released as a 12" club single and CD-EP by the Prima Facie label in early 2002 under the artist name Stouffer. With that single to his credit, the still teenaged Harris moved from Scotland to London, but as a very small fish in one of the world's largest and most competitive ponds, Harris floundered; only one of his songs was released during his time in London, "Let Me Know" with vocalist Ayah on the Unabombers' 2004 live-mix CD Electric Soul, Vol. 2.

 

Returning home to Dumfries, Harris began posting homemade solo recordings to his MySpace page. An A&R representative from EMI liked what he heard and signed Harris to the label in 2006. Following a pair of successful singles, Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007. It featured two Top Ten hits ("Acceptable in the 80s" and "The Girls"), and climbed high in the album charts. Along with his work as a solo artist, including touring in front of a full live band, Harris quickly became an in-demand remixer — working on singles by Jamiroquai, Groove Armada, All Saints, and CSS. He also wrote and produced songs for Kylie Minogue's 2007 comeback album, and collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on "Dance wiv Me," which reached number one in the U.K.

 

"I'm Not Alone," the first single from his second album, also hit number one upon release in April 2009, as did the album when it appeared that August. That album, Ready for the Weekend, topped the U.K. album chart and peaked at number 12 on Billboard's U.S. dance/electronic chart. Through 2011, Harris took on production work for Example, Tinchy Stryder, and Rihanna ("We Found Love," a quadruple-platinum hit in the U.S.), while he also issued two more of his own singles (the Kelis collaboration "Bounce" and "Feel So Close"). Harris' third solo album, 18 Months, was a collaboration-filled affair that featured "We Found Love" and "Bounce" plus vocal spots from Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch, and Ne-Yo, among others. It was released in October of 2012. - iTunes

Oh is blame still not gone :drama: Hate this so much now :puke2:

 

Just waiting for the amazing pray to god to smash now :wub:

"Blame" really needs to go

Not sure whether I want to see 'Numb / Encore' back cos it's a great song, or whether I don't want it back cos I'll have to prepare the chart run for the recaps. Lol. (I doubt it'll have made it anyway).

hello!

 

should be a decent chart this week with more than 5 new entries :o Rhymes to stay comfortably top 20 please and Say Something for top 10! Would also like Fergie to hold Hozier off #2 but that probably won't happen with the weekend effect benefitting him more.
