April 12, 201511 yr Pretty flawless singles campaign for Taylor with this album! Well until they made the foolish decision to release 'Bad Blood' instead of the majestic 'Out Of The Woods' as the 4th single. -_-

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): 2012 11 Latch (Disclosure Feat.

April 12, 201511 yr Poor Taylor. Hopefully that brings her back to streaming- Oh wait, she has a top 10 on Billboard. Pipe dream then.
April 12, 201511 yr trust Sam Smith to ruin the chart already :drama: he needs to take a very long break
April 12, 201511 yr Oops @ 'Style' at #39 when it was #11 on iTunes on Friday! :o Same thoughts! This is really the end of a download/sales era, isn't it? I bet 'Style' is top-20 on sales surely!
April 12, 201511 yr Oh god! I've never had such a 180 about an artist than Sam Smith! All his songs should be banned from the UK Top 40!
April 12, 201511 yr oooh.... chart condensed in 6 weeks time, we won't have that problem when the chart change comes into effect. :D
April 12, 201511 yr This (and 'Leave Your Lover') are the only Sam Smith tracks I can remotely tolerate.
April 12, 201511 yr Getting a third of the Sam Smith out the way early :kink: Leagues ahead of the terrible twosome.
April 12, 201511 yr How many weeks has Sam Smith gained through streaming? This has gotten pretty annoying.
April 12, 201511 yr Author Well until they made the foolish decision to release 'Bad Blood' instead of the majestic 'Out Of The Woods' as the 4th single. -_- Darn them! though I agree "Out Of the Woods" would have been better. Sigh. :(
