April 12, 201511 yr I think We Found Love stopped the Wanted getting to number one after they were midweek number one as well
April 12, 201511 yr King doing extremely well! Thought it would tail off a bit but taking advantage of the low sales climate (for now) :D
April 12, 201511 yr Yay King back in top 3. Perfect celebration of Olly coming out publicly this week. :rainbow emoji:
April 12, 201511 yr I've listened to 'King' way over 100 times, and it still sounds as good every time. :wub:
April 12, 201511 yr Incredible start to the top 3! Easily the best number one of the year so far. :wub:
April 12, 201511 yr I think We Found Love stopped the Wanted getting to number one after they were midweek number one as well Ah yeah that's right, with Lightning (their best track IMO!)
April 12, 201511 yr Has it already happened that, for at least three consecutive weeks, the midweek #1 didn't hold on to the topspot? It probably happened most weeks in 2005 where all the Elvis fans would buy the weekly re-issue at the start of the week :lol:
April 12, 201511 yr King is easily the best #01 this year, does the uplifting dance thing much better than Jess Glynne.
April 12, 201511 yr King is the best number one this year, and probably one of the best of the millennium. If it becomes a million-seller, I will really be over the moon.
April 12, 201511 yr If Lay Me Down didn't happen, this would've had three weeks at #1! What a shame. Sam Smith ruined the flow of the #1s, as I'm loving the Wiz Khalifa track, Sam's is the dud one out of all of them
April 12, 201511 yr Pleased to see 'King' back in the Top 3. Now all we need is for Jess Glynne to hold onto the Number 1 spot! :D
April 12, 201511 yr Hold Back the River and King being played one after the other is glorious, my 1st and 2nd fave songs in the top 40 respectively!
