February 22, 201511 yr But then who will we have left to pick up the MOR Ballad torch once the Ed/Sam tracks eventually leave? It's vital situations like this we need to consider! Hopefully Adele, she did it the best ^_^ -x- Luvbug are a little bit non-descript really, this feels like something that I'll forget very soon after.
February 22, 201511 yr There's a moment in the song where I think it's the end, but it isn't. And I've heard it a few times.
February 22, 201511 yr Fairly unspectacular song, but very surprised it's this low considering the tons of Capital FM support it had!

Demi Lovato) [Live Acoustic Version] 2 Up (feat. Demi Lovato) [Wideboys Radio Mix] 3 Up (feat. Demi Lovato) [Max Sanna & Steve Pitron Radio Mix] 4 Dear Darlin' (ITV Live Performance) Biography With a "cheeky chappy" persona to match Robbie Williams and vocals reminiscent of original Pop Idol Will Young, former call-center worker Olly Murs was one of the success stories of the 2009 season of The X Factor, finishing runner-up to Joe McElderry in the hotly contested final. Born in Essex in 1984, Murs showed little interest in singing while at school, focusing his attention on football, where he played for the school team and later semi-professionally for local non-league team Witham Town. In 2007, he appeared on Deal or No Deal, where he won a lowly £10, but it was his performance of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on the sixth series of The X Factor that enabled him to show off his talents. Mentored by Simon Cowell in the live stages, he wowed judges with renditions of songs by the Beatles, Queen, and George Michael and soon became the favorite to win the show. However, despite a duet with musical hero Robbie Williams in the final, Murs finished a respectable second. In 2010, he signed a six-figure record deal with Epic/Syco Music and embarked on the sold-out X Factor arena tour. After being personally invited by Williams to play at the televised charity football event Soccer Aid, Murs released his first single, the Jason Mraz-inspired "Please Don't Let Me Go," in August. His debut album, featuring songs written by Eg White, Scouting for Girls' Roy Stride, and Wayne Hector, was released in 2010. The record produced three U.K. Top 20 singles, with "Thinking of Me" and "Heart on My Sleeve" racking up chart positions alongside the debut number one "Please Don't Let Me Go." Murs took a short break from his musical career in late 2011 to present the eighth season of The Xtra Factor — a spinoff behind-the-scenes look at The X Factor — returning to the program that shot him to fame. His experience with the dynamics involved in the show and his upbeat character made him a firm favorite with the audience — as well as flirty co-presenter Caroline Flack. During the recording of each show, Murs was working on songs for his second album with writers Steve Robson (Lily Allen, James Morrison) and Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson, Backstreet Boys). The first single from his second record, "Heart Skips a Beat," featuring U.K. hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks, was released in summer 2011 and swiftly became a hit. The full release, In Case You Didn't Know, followed in November and secured his first U.K. number one album. The following year, Murs opened for sprightly boy band One Direction on their North American tour and re-released the "Heart Skips a Beat" single, replacing Rizzle Kicks with Philadelphia rap duo Chiddy Bang, to coincide with the shows. Also in 2012, Murs released his third studio album, Right Place Right Time, which included the single "Troublemaker," featuring rapper Flo Rida. ~ Jon O'Brien & Scott Kerr, Rovi / iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Olly Murs 2010 01 Please Don't Let Me Go -1- 2010 69 This One's For The Girls -B side- 2010 04 Thinking Of Me -2- 2011 20 Heart On My Sleeve -3- 2011 45 Busy -4- 2011 01 Heart Skips A Beat (Olly Murs Feat.

February 22, 201511 yr Poor forgotten LuvBug when bringing up what the final new entry was earlier. :kink: First listen of this, but 'Resonance' proved to be a grower. We have reached the dancey corner it seems! :music: Probably due to the fact Marvin Humes presents the rival chart show :lol:
February 22, 201511 yr I wasn't at all fussed on LuvBug's last song, but I really love this! Shame it missed the top 10 (by quite some distance :( )
February 22, 201511 yr Wow - there's a lot of non-Sam Smiths songs in the Sam Smith Top 40 this week. Edited February 22, 201511 yr by AntoineTTe
February 22, 201511 yr For an Olly lover, I'm not HUGE on this single. I blame Demetria x I prefer his upbeat stuff, although he does have some incredible slow moments as album tracks.
February 22, 201511 yr Up took a while to click, but has become my favourite from Olly now I think, admittedly the brilliant chorus is down to Demi but still a great duet :wub:
February 22, 201511 yr Also, please can Ayo be next? That trash doesn't deserve to be any higher than #15. :puke: Edited February 22, 201511 yr by Taylor Jago
February 22, 201511 yr This has really blossomed into a great little pop track for me! Anyone else enjoy him being pranked on SNT yesterday? :lol:
February 22, 201511 yr Anyone else enjoy him being pranked on SNT yesterday? :lol: That was brilliant, definitely the highlight of the show for me. :lol: I'll always have time for Olly <3
February 22, 201511 yr Up :zzz: all aboard the one way train to bland central! Change at Mediocre Mountain? :)
