Sadly Right Here didn't have some Italian bloke giving it an inexplicable 22 extra weeks top 40.

Technically, it wasn't Andrea who chose to perform Chandelier, it was none other than Sam Smith.

Anyway, not feeling Shutdown, but it's definitely not the worst new entry.

Yay for something phresh but this is absolutely terrible :lol: (not that I really expected anything else but open mind and all that ~)

Kinda underwhelming upon first listen.

I forgot this was even released this week. :lol: Actually quite like it.

Biography

Although the first solo single from soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure's October 2012 U.K. garage track "Latch" which brought him to most people's attention. 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

This actually has to be one of the worst starts to the chart ever

 

Lay me down (to sleep) :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: :puke2:

I have mixed feelings about 'Shutdown'. It seems ok to peak @ 39, you know.

So happy Skepta made the top 40. What a tune.

'Shutdown' was pretty much Skepta by numbers but that's not a bad thing ~

Starting to get bored with this. Hell, the U.S. isn't even playing this one that much anymore.

Technically, it wasn't Andrea who chose to perform Chandelier, it was none other than Sam Smith.

 

Good point, -1 for Sam Smith.

 

Luckily I still really like Lay Me Down :)

Eh, that Skepta song sounded just like everything else he's ever done. Bit swaggy but nothing exciting or memorable.

Well, this could not have been more of a juxtaposition in style following that Skepta song! Ew though. :(

.......At least its one song from Sam Smith (I actually like this version tho).........

 

Sliver Lining :P :lol:

URGH this dirge is still in the chart! :puke2: :puke: :banghead:

Shame the album version of LMD will end up selling more than the CR version

(Cue everyone complaining about Lay Me Down still being in)

I've been listening to this a lot recently (due to it being just after What Kind Of Man on Now 90. Kinda wish that was in the top 40.)

Still remains the superior "Lay Me Down" though.

Dropouts: (probably)
