Rihanna is better than that, but still a good track.

Hated this at first, but it's such a grower, the chorus already sounds like one that I'll have stuck in my head a lot.

FourFiveSeconds climbing to number Four from number Five in its Second week :magic:

Shame Hozier just missed No.1. A heck of a chart run though.

This is so disappointing for a ‘Rihanna lead single’ ~ must be selling on name alone as it sounds like an unfinished demo for cheap album filler... :(

 

 

Agreed.

I've finally gotten to the point where I'm going off 'Take Me to Church'. :( I'm feeling sleepy as it is, this is in danger of sending me to sleep...

Take Me To Church :wub:

Hozier's nominated at the Grammys tonight, be sure to tune in to see if he stands there and farts :jameela:

Well he's only had 3 'country dance shite' tracks to be fair. Did you not like 'Levels'/'Silhouettes' either? 'The Nights' is truly AWFUL though, boo at it re-peaking again.

 

On the other hand woo for 'FourFiveSeconds' climbing. Hope it can go at least top 3 eventually.

Levels was okay yeah but it just reminds me of that terrible Flo Rida song mostly, I actually loved Silhouettes! I just always forget about it.

I wasn't really in to Take Me To Church until the week it came after Only. Since then I love it, and it feels so refreshing after the dull FourFiveSeconds.

I may have now been relegated to only being Buzzjack's second biggest Take Me To Church fan after AntoineTTe but what a joy to see it secure a month in the top three :D

'Take Me To Church' is still going to be in the top 10 in three months time, isn't it?! :zzz: :nocheer:

"Take Me to Church" :wub:

I also felt the lyrics were too religious for my liking when I first heard it.

All good things must come to an end. 'Uptown Funk' has done incredibly well to get 7 weeks at Number 1.

Shock, horror, we have a new #1! :o
