Aaaaaaand Bre was right. Oh blimey! The John Legend version actually so bad that people would rather not give to Comic Relief!

Sam Smith so selfish to keep the better version to himself :o

 

Comic Relief should write him a ballad album back.

the hell HOW long will I love 'Lay Me Down'? Somebody save me from this relaxing ballad :music:

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

No u-turns for me regarding Sam Smith: dismissed him right from the beginning. :D

Two Ed songs ahead of all of Sam's offerings, hooray.

Aaaaaaand Bre was right. Oh blimey! The John Legend version actually so bad that people would rather not give to Comic Relief!

:lol: but I imagine the original was always going to get a leg up in streaming since it's the one on his album for whenever people listen to that.

Cheerleader has a new official video

 

I think it's more likely that streaming has dragged the John Legend version much lower.

I guess the general public learned their lesson with "All Of Me".

Biography

Kelly Brianne Blackstock (née Clarkson; born April 24, 1982), is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as "The Original American Idol". Her debut single, "A Moment Like This", topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart's history; it became the best-selling single of the year in the country.[citation needed] She became the runner-up of World Idol the following year.

 

Clarkson's debut studio album, Thankful (2003), has been certified 2× platinum and sold over 4.5 million copies internationally. Its lead single, "Miss Independent", became an international hit, earning Clarkson her first Grammy nomination. She developed a rock-oriented sound with her second album, Breakaway (2004). It was certified 6× platinum and sold over 15 million copies worldwide, earning Clarkson two Grammy Awards, including one for the hit single "Since U Been Gone". She took full creative direction of her third album, My December (2007). Its lead single, "Never Again", became a top ten hit. Clarkson's fourth album, All I Ever Wanted (2009), became a critical and commercial success. Its worldwide hit single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", surpassed "A Moment Like This" for the biggest leap to number one on a single week in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from number 97, a record it still holds today. Her fifth album, Stronger (2011), generated international chart-topping singles "Mr. Know It All" and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)", with the latter being the second-best selling American Idol single to date with over four million downloads in the U.S. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, making Clarkson the first and only artist to win the award twice. In 2012, Clarkson released Greatest Hits – Chapter One; its lead single, "Catch My Breath", is her twenty-fourth entry on the Hot 100 and her eleventh million-selling single.

 

Clarkson has sold over 20 million albums worldwide. In a career spanning over a decade, Clarkson has accumulated ninety-one number ones on the Billboard charts, and eleven number one singles worldwide. She is known for her vocal versatility and range. Her music has mainly dealt with themes of heartbreak, independence, and self-empowerment for women and young teens. Apart from her work in music, Clarkson has also ventured into television and film. Clarkson's film debut was in the romantic musical From Justin to Kelly (2003) and she also appeared in American Dreams as Brenda Lee, in Reba, on The Voice as a guest advisor, on Duets as a mentor and judge. Clarkson's musical work has also gained her numerous accolades, including three Grammy Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards and a Women's World Award. In 2012, Clarkson was ranked nineteenth on VH1's list of "100 Greatest Women in Music." In 2013, Clarkson was ranked number 105 on Joel Whitburn's "Top 500 Artists Of All Time," and number 75 on Billboard's "Hot 100: Top 100 Artists." Billboard also ranked Clarkson as the 14th-best-selling artist of the 2000s and one of the top 200 album sellers of the Nielsen SoundScan era at number 187. - Wikipedia

Will do. It'll be a project for the Summer for me. Some may not be the full shows, but will let you know once I've been through them! :)

 

Gavin, do you also have any top 40 shows from the 80s that you could go through?

Back where it's supposed to be :angry:

This performed better here than in the US, shocker

The laziest ever lead single offering from Kelly Clarkson. But it's nice and I'm glad she's not flopping.

Some female MOR just to switch things up :mellow:

'Heartbeat Song' :wub: I love it anyway but practically INSANELY good following Sam Smith. :kink:

Gavin, do you also have any top 40 shows from the 80s that you could go through?

 

I'm afraid not. My first chart recording would of been late 1999 at the earliest. That would of only been because I wanted William Orbit's Adagio For Strings without any DJ waffle over the track :lol:
