John Legend)" by Sam Smith will go to Comic Relief, registered charity No 326568 (England & Wales) and No SC039730 (Scotland). 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 Chart history - Top 100 (Year peak title): Sam Smith 2012 11 Latch (Disclosure Feat.

March 29, 201511 yr that Lay Me Down 1-6 drop :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: keep on falling like that Chart Killers please,, would be greatly appreciated
March 29, 201511 yr Comic Relief Lay Me Down out of the top 5! I knew it would drop like a normal Comic Relief single and not like a normal Sam Smith song.
March 29, 201511 yr Out of the top 5 already lol. BAI. (Who am I kidding, it's still gonna be here for months...)
March 29, 201511 yr I didn't think this would fall that much, I guess it doesn't have the streaming advantage of the original. Great stuff though, hopefully won't be TOO much longer until we finally have a Sam-free chart.
March 29, 201511 yr Yeah, I know airplay isn't actually included in the chart, and probably doesn't even affect it this far into a single's life. Those were two separate ideas.
