April 5, 201510 yr Sia getting that double top 10 finally AND Ed Sheeran being held off #1! *.* :cheer: :o Your namesake month bringing lots of goodness to the chart. :o Seriously though, wow!
April 5, 201510 yr Oh, wow yay at Circa Waves doing a Catfish in the end and hanging on to the top 10, their album is a lot weaker though really which is a bit disappointing.
April 5, 201510 yr Good news: not many of the albums from the Wednesday mids had dropped out, so my chart prep wasn't as much of a waste of time as expected! Bad news: Hollywood Undead weren't there on Wednesday so had to go rush to prepare it just now. :D Wow for Sufjan Stevens remaining as high as #6! Quite pleasing to see Circa Waves remaining top 10 as well, could do similarly to Catfish And The Bottlemen in the long run. And woo for Death Cab For Cutie picking up a third top 30 album, could possibly have been a third straight #24 on sales alone?! Good news: I correctly anticipated which albums wouldn't make it. Bad news: I, too, hadn't expected Hollywood Undead to be in. Really good news: I only did one version of the singles chart commentary and guessed the number one correctly :D
April 5, 201510 yr Have Rudimental just added a bit of drum and bass over this? How pointless. Edited April 5, 201510 yr by Jack
April 5, 201510 yr Well, finally hearing the Rudimental version of 'Bloodstream' - and it's not really any better or any worse than the album version. It's barely any different. (Which is good really as I'm still loving the song so at least they won't be playing an inferior version from now on! :P)
April 5, 201510 yr Glad to hear Jess stayed for a second week, phew!!!! :drama: sales must be very close. Hopefully get sales tonight, but don't hold your breath over them. Back later...
April 5, 201510 yr I think I prefer the original acoustic version of Bloodstream, the dance remix doesn't really add anything to it. Nonetheless, it's the best Ed Sheeran song ever comfortably.
April 5, 201510 yr Have Rudimental just added a bit of drum and bass over this? How pointless. Yes, and they'll be adding some jungle and/or D&B beats to a new mediocre track in the Top 40 each week in 2015. Next week it's "Lay Me Down" getting the Rudimental treatment and getting that ICONIC to re-climb to #2.
April 5, 201510 yr :D Only because you want the #1 to change every week - not for any music-related preference? It's nice to see a new #1 each week. He only missed #1 because a lot of people already have the song on his album
April 5, 201510 yr Considering that version has a drum & bass beat accelerating all over the chorus, it's bizarre how little difference it makes to the song.
April 5, 201510 yr Yes, and they'll be adding some jungle and/or D&B beats to a new mediocre track in the Top 40 each week in 2015. Next week it's "Lay Me Down" getting the Rudimental treatment and getting that ICONIC to re-climb to #2. Or maybe it will be counted as a new version and we'll have Lay Me Down three times in the chart? :thinking: :kink:
April 5, 201510 yr I think I prefer the original acoustic version of Bloodstream, the dance remix doesn't really add anything to it. Nonetheless, it's the best Ed Sheeran song ever comfortably. I've generally been fairly indifferent to most of his songs. This is the first one I've really liked.
April 5, 201510 yr It's nice to see a new #1 each week. He only missed #1 because a lot of people already have the song on his album It's boring to see a new number each week. A mix of 1 weekers and longer runners is better. No real excuses for Ed, he missed number 1 as more people bought and streamed Jess Glynne.
April 5, 201510 yr All you radio 1 chart countdown fans, make sure to listen out for the one hit wonders one they're scheduling tomorrow (Appropriate discussion here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=176513). Yes promo etc. Well done Jess! Interesting to see if Stevie McCrorie will overthrow her next week. Edited April 5, 201510 yr by Jade
April 5, 201510 yr Just two amendments to the album chart posts this week, as James Bay's 'Let It Go' hits another new peak of #52, as well as obviously 'Bloodstream' climbing to #2.
April 5, 201510 yr Well done Jess! Interesting to see if Stevie McCrorie will overthrow her next week. If not him, then Nick Jonas to overthrow Jess Glynne
April 5, 201510 yr Shame I missed it this week, that's best start to a chart in AGES. First 5 tracks are all fantastic! The fact Stay With Me was #41 made it even better :cheer:
