Wow, I had no idea BIGBANG were back, and certainly didn't expect to find out about it via the iTunes thread, Fantastic Baby and Tonight are some of the best K-Pop boyband tracks out there.

 

This new one is on the side of K-Pop I expected would always stay firmly in Korea, it's a bit bland and pleasant, which isn't what I know BIGBANG for. I'll take what I can get though, just HOW is it this high?

Yeah it's a shame that it has to be this song, but it shows that K-Pop has a fanbase. I'm still waiting for 2NE1 or GG to break out WW, it's a non-novelty K-Pop hasn't been big enough for a proper hit even in the US!

 

Seems they must have some sort of UK fanbase still, a quick search tells me they made a brief Top 200 appearance 3 years ago with 'Blue' as well!

Blue :wub: I rememebr that happening *.*

 

Are there any highly anticipated releases from major artists coming in the next few months? I know Rihanna has started her campaign and has so far underwhelmed. Surely Lady GaGa and Bruno Mars are due to release their next albums? It seems like Adele and Emeli are holding off until Q4. Leona's new album should be released in the next couple of months also. I get a good feeling (for once) about Fire Under My Feet. If Island play their cards right, I can see her finally getting that 4th #1.

I really have the feeling Fire Under My Feet could be a #1, it just has that aura about it. It sounds like an absolute monster of a track anyway and she certainly needs/deserves it! But yeah it's looking a bit barren for major releases over the next few months, god knows when Rihanna is due and to be honest I wouldn't even be shocked if Adele left it another year...

No Kworb update for over 6 hours now... maybe people have realised their mistake in not mass-buying Carly Rae Jepsen as much as they should and surging her to #1, causing it to crash?

That's exactly what I thought, too. Only explanation really. Glad someone else said it though.

Natalie got moved back to 31st so they are not up against each other anymore :)

Natalie got moved back to 31st so they are not up against each other anymore :)

So there's another 30 days of pre-order?! She's gonna SMASH yas

I'm thinking 'All Cried Out' will end up at #4 behind Carly, looks like she might have a huge streaming advantage next week.

 

8 Clean Bandit Stronger

9 Major Lazer Lean On (feat. MØ & DJ Snake) :arrowup:

10 Skrillex & Diplo Where Are Ü Now (with Justin Bieber) :arrowup:

11 Nick Jonas Jealous :arrowdown:

Double Diplo in the top 10 *.* They're probably the 2 best tracks in the top 10 as well (certainly both in the best 3 along with Kygo)!

36. Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

55. Fetty Wap - Trap Queen

70. NeYo - She Knows

75. Sia - Fire Meet Gasoline

76. Rihanna - American Oxygen

103. Rae Morris - Love Again

122. Mariah Carey - Infinity

 

Fast Car always seems to hit the top 40 once every couple of months for some reason

Fetty Wap finally getting some exposure here, unfortunately

NeYo getting that top 100 smash with a post-album single (never thought it would happen considering how badly the album flopped)

Sia come on up a bit more

Rihanna... just no

Rae Morris is doing surprisingly well with this

Mariah oops, this is more like I thought it would do

Ooh a Fifth Harmony pre-order! :o

#72 & #78. Ben E. King - Stand By Me

 

must be about top50/60 combined :D (sad reasons of course)

WORTH IT FINALLY :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

259. Fifth Harmony - Worth It (feat. Kid Ink)

57 Tove Lo Talking Body (KREAM Remix)

360 Tove Lo Talking Body (Clean Love Edit) (PRE ORDER)

810 Tove Lo Talking Body (Shift Key Remix)

878 Tove Lo Talking Body (Gryffin Remix)

 

323 Tove Lo Talking Body (The Body Remixes) - EP (PRE ORDER)

 

Think this might do quite well. I mean, if the explicit version was up for pre order and the EP had not been released, I'm sure it'd be top 150 on iTunes now. Might take a few takes for one version to level out on release day though.

09. Where Are Ü Now (with Justin Bieber) - Skrillex & Diplo

Disclosure have released "Bang That" onto iTunes/Spotify, fingers crossed we'll see it high in the coming weeks; they should be the type of group to benefit well from streaming (in a few weeks time that is, when it picks up).

Electro Velvet [u.K. Eurovision Entry] performing on Graham Norton show next week :cheer:

Was it premiered on Annie Mac tonight? Saw them mention something on twitter!

 

Hope it's a hottest record next week!!

211. Bang That - Disclosure

 

It's so good!
