Not sure whether I like this or not yet but it's good to hear something that sounds a bit different...

Believe is such a beautiful song. Hopefully, it has towed Thinking Out Loud down with it (in my dreams).

At least some old wood are gone (I hope they don't come back again :lol:)

 

Rather Be and Real Love might come back next week, with Jess releasing her solo material.

 

This is finally starting to click actually, still far from my fave from them.

Biography

Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. Raised in Framlingham, Suffolk, he moved to London in 2008 to pursue a musical career. In early 2011, Sheeran released an independent extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of both Elton John and Jamie Foxx. He then signed to Asylum Records. His 2011 debut album, +, containing the singles "The A Team" and "Lego House", was certified quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom. In 2012, he won two BRIT Awards for Best British Male and British Breakthrough. "The A Team" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

 

Sheeran began to be known in the United States in 2012. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, and wrote songs for One Direction. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards and he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. He spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift's Red Tour. His second studio album is titled x, read as "multiply", and is scheduled for worldwide release on 23 June 2014. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. - Wikipedia

Oh yes! Up 11 places. Nice song really. :D

I can't wait for the Rudimental reqork of "Bloodstream" to come out. It's divine.

Clara just read out my tweet on the Chart Show. That's a lifelong dream sorted.

2nd best track on the album so have no qualms with this climbing!

 

Looking forward to Rudimental's version SMASHING in at #1 too.

Clara just read out my tweet on the Chart Show. That's a lifelong dream sorted.

:o Hurrah!

Oh brilliant that this is climbing, love love love! I finally gave the Rudimental version a listen and was surprised to find I wasn't a fan of it, their production that comes in during the chorus feels so erratic and takes away the beauty of it.

Oh yes! Up 11 places. Nice song really. :D

It has grown on me a lot since last week, and I'd prefer the original but I must say I haven't heard the Rudimental version so many times yet.

I Thought this was gone too :lol:

Does anyone who doesn't post on Buzzjack actually listen to the chart show these days?

No I wanted the other Ed Sheeran song. Not this one, because this one's actually good, so it can be as high as it wants. Can we have an Ed Sheeran double please?

Also - I'm not hating this Ed Sheeran track. :o

Does anyone who doesn't post on Buzzjack actually listen to the chart show these days?

I'm sure there must be some as I would say it gets more than 500 listeners every week?

Also - I'm not hating this Ed Sheeran track. :o

 

In 6 months time you will be taking the 'not' out of that sentence :P

Does anyone who doesn't post on Buzzjack actually listen to the chart show these days?

 

Radio 1 has well over 10.75 million listeners in total. I'm sure some listen to the chart whilst driving or at work, etc......

So I actually like WYWM now, a little late though :P
