Ugh Florence should really climb from this position of 37 next week but she will inevitably fall out after radio has refused to support the single straight away!

Ah so this makes it this week! Probably top 20 on sales chart though...

STYLE FINALLY MAKES IT :cheer: The lack of streaming worried me for a second

Am I the only person getting really bored by the chart today, we have had 3 songs in the chart played in half an hour

 

They are dragging it out a fair bit with the competition chat and interviews, doubling up by doing a Sociology assignment during said parts so it's partially productive! :lol:

 

Anyway, the actual SONGS have marked an improvement this week, feeling far more fresh in the lower region of the chart. 'Style' takes me back to Christmas and is my favourite single from this era so far, so playful and a lot of fun without being grating like I found 'Shake It Off' to be!

Style is very good! (First time hearing it)

How are sales holding up?

What Kind Of Man :wub: love it.

Hey Mart!n, do you like What Kind of Man? :lol:

This sounds very early 00s in terms of sound, really liking it though on first listen. Cannot believe how many Taylor Swift songs I'm really liking this time around.

She's not really a singles artist though- the last era was a bit of a red herring in that respect. "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" only got to 12 despite being 'held back' *shudder* but things like "Kiss With A Fist", "Cosmic Love" and "Drumming Song" all missed out on a Top 40 position.

I quite enjoy this new Taylor Swift track actually :D

Two great debuts there :dancing:

Biography

Jessica Ellen Cornish (born 27 March 1988), better known by her stage name Jessie J, is an English singer and songwriter. Born and brought up in London, England, she studied at the BRIT School before signing with Gut Records and striking a songwriting deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing where she wrote for artists including Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus.

 

After signing with Universal Republic, Jessie J came to prominence following the release of her debut single, "Do It Like a Dude", which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Charts. In 2011, after topping the charts in nineteen countries including the United Kingdom, France, Ireland and New Zealand, with the song "Price Tag", she released her début album, Who You Are, which charted at number two in the UK. Other releases from the album included "Nobody's Perfect", "Who's Laughing Now" and "Who You Are", which all charted within the top 20 in the UK. Release of the fifth single, "Domino", resulted in further international chart success, peaking at number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and becoming her second UK number one. The seventh single released from Who You Are, "LaserLight", became the album's sixth top ten single, making her the first British female artist to have six top ten singles from a studio album. Her second album, Alive, was released on 23 September 2013 and reached the top 5 in the UK Albums Chart. Aside from her musical career, Jessie J served as coach and mentor on television show, The Voice UK.

 

Citing various influences, Jessie J is recognised for an unconventional musical and performance style that mixes soul vocals with contemporary R&B, pop, electropop, and hip-hop beats. Jessie J has garnered various awards and nominations for contributions to the music industry, including the 2011 Critics' Choice BRIT Award and the BBC's Sound of 2011. As of April 2012, Jessie J had sold over 11 million singles and 2.5 million albums, worldwide. - Wikipedia

Discussion Thread Here

'Style' is another v good single from Taylor. This era could go on for a long time, so many potential hits on the album.

"Bang Bang" needs to go away. How can it have climbed up when it dropped to its 70s on iTunes

Urgh FFS...

I keep forgetting Bang Bang is still in the chart :lol: Still loving it though.

Really tired of Bang Bang now. :(

Glad "Bang Bang" survived this week! I really hope "Masterpiece" does well also...

Bang Bang feels a lot older than it is

Tired of bang bang :(

 

And drumming song deserved to be a #1
