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 19, 201511 yr Why can't sam ever be 42 instead of 41? He was 42 last week! Anyway, personally I love this song.
April 19, 201511 yr 10 years since downloads were added :o I hope we don't have another upset this week. I don't want to such anyone's d. They weren't fully added until 2006 though :P
April 19, 201511 yr It would be good if the number 41 play continues on Scott's show when it moves to Friday but seeing as they will no longer play all 40 songs, I doubt it. :(

April 19, 201511 yr They weren't fully added until 2006 though :P Haha yeah. Didn't OCC used to have a rule like a song can be charted by download sales alone just one week before the physical release?
April 19, 201511 yr 1995 8- IF YOU LOVE ME- Brownstone (27,000)* Classic smooth RnB. Have a listen if you don't want to hear last weeks top 3: 91NExZP5dZI :D
April 19, 201511 yr They weren't fully added until 2006 though :P For the record April 2005: Downloads counted as long as the physical was in stores at the same time 2006: Downloads counted a week before the physical went on sale January 2007: All downloads included whether there is a physical or not.
April 19, 201511 yr I do still really enjoy Sam's songs on their own but I am so tired of HIM now :( Even though LMD is an ex-personal chart #1 for me, I will be glad to see the back of it, especially the John Legend version because that is really awful, worst #1 of the year bar Uptown Funk for me :( As for See You Again, I'd much like another Jess Glynne week or even Omi although I know they are both impossible outcomes. SYA sounds nice and has a lot of meaning for those close to Paul but feels very dated and doesn't have the same appeal as other similar dated songs such as Lullaby have, perhaps it's the lack of female vocals which seems a very Buzzjack thing to say :lol: . Glad to see Wiz get another hit anyway and shake off his 'one hit wonder' tag :lol: He has many songs that are huge jams :heart:
April 19, 201511 yr Haha yeah. Didn't OCC used to have a rule like a song can be charted by download sales alone just one week before the physical release? Yes - 2 weeks wasn't it? The Gorillaz Feel Good Inc managed to get to number 22 (I think) 2 weeks early as they had a 7" release first before the CD was added!
April 19, 201511 yr Possibly only one Sam Smith song top 40 this week then? :oThat's one less one less problem
April 19, 201511 yr I'm listening to 'Thong Song' right now actually :blush: Wish they didn't have to play the whole top 3 from last week, I always mute it these days
April 19, 201511 yr still surprised this actually went top 3. Sadly it seems his new single Talking About Name & Number is set to be a flop thoughI got one more problem with you gurl ~
April 19, 201511 yr Possibly only one Sam Smith song top 40 this week then? :o Thank gosh :cheer: :cheer: Actually listening to the top 3 this week as it is really strong for once :o (HMH 10/10, Jealous 9/10, King 7/10)
April 19, 201511 yr It would be good if the number 41 play continues on Scott's show when it moves to Friday but seeing as they will no longer play all 40 songs, I doubt it. :( Shame it won't happen like it does in over here in Ireland, the full chart published on the National chart website lunchtime Friday, the counted down later that day, so you'll know the chart already. At the mo the Irish chart comes out Friday Lunchtime, published on the IRMA website, and counted down on 2fm at 8pm later that day, so we know the number 1 already.
