By far the best song in this weeks chart, this slays so badly and isn't even in the top half of the perfect album :heart: Think this has spent 15 weeks in my top 10 now.

So so sad this hasn't gone top 20 :cry: :cry: Taylor Swift is so amazing and Style is so amazing :wub:

Well it's a shame that Style probably won't make the top 20.

Will any on here start listening to the BT40, or the Ultimate chart in July, just to get their Sunday chart fix, ignoring how stupid and inaccurate the BT40 chart itself is, although the ultimate chart isn't as bad, just for a chart programme to listen to on Sunday.

I'm only interested in the official charts to be honest. I don't really like airplay or any other made up charts :(

Surprised that Style hasn't done better tbh

Oops @ 'Style' not even making the top twenty :o

Style is decent but it isn't as good as the other 2 singles so I'm not surprised it's not doing as well.

Not sure Ed is going to hit #1 next week, doesn't seem to be gaining enough on iTunes at the moment. I hope he does get there though, would be easily the best #1 for AGES. (For the album version anyway, I'm still yet to hear the Rudimental remix).

No, no, no! Style cannot peak at #21!

Well it's a shame that Style probably won't make the top 20.

I know it was said about million times but now it is really visible that the lack of streaming is really hurting Taylor's performance in the chart. About 55-60% of sales are from streaming. (from total sales, of course it varies from single to single)

:( at this missing top 20 :(

Style is growing on me now, you know. Nice production.

Ugh someone shoot lay me down with poison (after you have poisoned the other somehow even worse version) :puke:

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

Best ballad I've heard in a long time :D this is everything Stay With Me fails to be.

Lay Me Down :wub: Such a beautiful song, hopefully Thinking Out Loud is next.

URGH SAM SMITH GO AWAY

 

also I don't like how I have to mute Lay Me Down TWICE every week now :drama: (actually 3 times this week, because of the chart recap :drama:)

Taylor needs to release Out of the Woods, with a push, I'm sure that will get her nearer the top 10 than this did.

 

Lay Me Down better be going nowhere else than down from here.

The solo version of this is far better than the duet one. I wouldn't mind this if it wasn't the fourth song of his so far.

Make it STOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPP http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/guns/shoot-me.gifhttp://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/guns/headshot-suicide.gif

Solo version of Lay Me Down :wub: can't even stand the Legend's co-version, don't like the way their voices mixing...
