Yeah not an unexpected drop for Outlines there, it wasn't even top 20 on iTunes for most of the week.

Can’t begrudge Sia some belated chart domination, but how is this ahead of ‘Outlines’ - seriously?! :huh: :mellow:
Chandelier is a great song, still not bored.
I'd prefer it if Money On My Mind was one of the loiterers tbh
YES!

 

'I Bet My Life' is a bit shit really isn't it. I liked most of the first album singles but really can't muster up the effort to care about them this time.
That was my initial reaction but it's grown on me loads since. Don't write it off (although it won't hang around long enough for you to hear it much more).

 

Chandelier is one of the only songs to last 30+ weeks that still doesn't feel old to me!
As for me, i prefer to think that I Bet My Life = Riptide 2.0
I hope Elastic Heart manages some of Chandelier's length of longevity.

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
