Online listening is normally around 30 seconds behind the FM feed. Try refreshing it as it may have stopped buffer and fell behind even more.

I would, but there's nothing I don't like, and I don't want to skip anything at the moment.

'Earned It' top 20 :heart: Hope it climbs again next week with the film release.
You guys think Fergie's L.A.LOVE will leave the top 10 ? :(

I hope so. :w00t:

Wow, wasn't expecting The Weeknd to be so high this week! Very refreshing to hear this in the chart.
It shocks me that that video isn't age restricted on YouTube when the video for Queen "I Want To Break Free" is.
Shame this hasn't proplelled Love Me Harder into the top 40.

Biography

Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. 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

I yearn for a time when the chart is Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith & Gerogre Ezra free zone! :(
Like I Can is one of my favourite songs at the moment.
This has such a great chart run considering it's peak! One more to go from the Sheeran-Smith-Ezra trio after this one, folks. :kink:

Hold Back The River. Hopefully will climb further next week as it's been re-added to the Radio 1 playlist this week! :D

Unfortunately, many of the great songs of 2014 couldn't stay in the top 40 as long as this can.

 

EDIT: That was supposed to go with Like I Can, not Hold Back The River.
