This is such a re-hash of their previous single, but still I manage to enjoy it. Pretty good formula, then!

Sigma ha flop

So that's what's been the kiss of death for Conor this time then. :o

And what was the one for Kylie hmm

This is probably the most uninspiring song ever made. It's just pointless.

And what was the one for Kylie hmm

 

Late 2010. :(

I can't see them having missed out, it's doing alright on streaming and was selling about the same as Taylor Swift...

I was very sure Kodaline would've made it but Omi & Wiz are top 3 on Spotify so despite being so high on iTunes Kodaline will have missed out. Presumably 42. Shame as I wanted more new entries...

Oh dear! What a flop for Sigma :o

 

I wasn't really expecting a big hit with this after the 2 previous #1's.

Up :heart: Still adore this so badly :wub:

Bit like Labrinth.

Biography

With a "cheeky chappy" persona to match Robbie Williams and vocals reminiscent of original Pop Idol Will Young, former call-center worker Olly Murs was one of the success stories of the 2009 season of The X Factor, finishing runner-up to Joe McElderry in the hotly contested final. Born in Essex in 1984, Murs showed little interest in singing while at school, focusing his attention on football, where he played for the school team and later semi-professionally for local non-league team Witham Town. In 2007, he appeared on Deal or No Deal, where he won a lowly £10, but it was his performance of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" on the sixth series of The X Factor that enabled him to show off his talents. Mentored by Simon Cowell in the live stages, he wowed judges with renditions of songs by the Beatles, Queen, and George Michael and soon became the favorite to win the show. However, despite a duet with musical hero Robbie Williams in the final, Murs finished a respectable second. In 2010, he signed a six-figure record deal with Epic/Syco Music and embarked on the sold-out X Factor arena tour. After being personally invited by Williams to play at the televised charity football event Soccer Aid, Murs released his first single, the Jason Mraz-inspired "Please Don't Let Me Go," in August. His debut album, featuring songs written by Eg White, Scouting for Girls' Roy Stride, and Wayne Hector, was released in 2010. The record produced three U.K. Top 20 singles, with "Thinking of Me" and "Heart on My Sleeve" racking up chart positions alongside the debut number one "Please Don't Let Me Go."

 

Murs took a short break from his musical career in late 2011 to present the eighth season of The Xtra Factor — a spinoff behind-the-scenes look at The X Factor — returning to the program that shot him to fame. His experience with the dynamics involved in the show and his upbeat character made him a firm favorite with the audience — as well as flirty co-presenter Caroline Flack. During the recording of each show, Murs was working on songs for his second album with writers Steve Robson (Lily Allen, James Morrison) and Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson, Backstreet Boys). The first single from his second record, "Heart Skips a Beat," featuring U.K. hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks, was released in summer 2011 and swiftly became a hit. The full release, In Case You Didn't Know, followed in November and secured his first U.K. number one album. The following year, Murs opened for sprightly boy band One Direction on their North American tour and re-released the "Heart Skips a Beat" single, replacing Rizzle Kicks with Philadelphia rap duo Chiddy Bang, to coincide with the shows. Also in 2012, Murs released his third studio album, Right Place Right Time, which included the single "Troublemaker," featuring rapper Flo Rida. ~ Jon O'Brien & Scott Kerr, Rovi / iTunes

'Up' is such a bore.

The success of his first two singles and then "Seasons" is a giant flop :(

'Seasons' already out whilst this is still charting, oops.

 

this got old weeks ago anyway, hopefully it's on its last legs now

Looks like Dappy has gone :lol:

'Up' still here :( I love Olly but this really does nothing for me.

I wasn't really expecting a big hit with this after the 2 previous #1's.

 

I was expecting it to do a bit better than it has, but as you say it wasn't going to be as big as their previous hits. Hopefully they will put out something better for single Number 4.

oooh.... chart condensed in 6 weeks time, we won't have that problem when the chart change comes into effect. :D

 

Did I miss something? Only just tuned in.

'Up' is so dry.

Happens to be featured on Radio Disney's Next Big Thing spotlight, lol

I wonder if this could be the last time Scott Mills ever does the chart? He's not very likely to do a double shift and fill in for Greg? :o
