Love 'King' still. My second favourite song this year so far (Lonely Town by Brandon being the fave)

Expected fall for Zedd but will probably stabilise a bit now.

 

Getting a bit more into it now than before but that probably because it's so fresh sounding in this chart!

This song is actually not as bad as I remember it being when I first heard it (minus the ultra generic breakdown).
Not that gutted about this drop actually, despite being a fan of the song! After all, its 2nd week is higher than many of us expected its 1st week to be :lol:
This Zedd/Selena song is actually rather good! It appears to have much more life in it than the rather average 'Stay the Night'. Her new collab with A$AP Rocky is leagues ahead, however. :heart:
Ooh yay big climb for 'Photograph' so it avoids being his lowest peaking single to date :heart: Hope it can make at least the top 20.

Biography

Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. Raised in Framlingham, Suffolk, he moved to London in 2008 to pursue a musical career. In early 2011, Sheeran released an independent extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of both Elton John and Jamie Foxx. He then signed to Asylum Records. His 2011 debut album, +, containing the singles "The A Team" and "Lego House", was certified quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom. In 2012, he won two BRIT Awards for Best British Male and British Breakthrough. "The A Team" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

 

Sheeran began to be known in the United States in 2012. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, and wrote songs for One Direction. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards and he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. He spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift's Red Tour.

Oh gosh 15 mins News? :wacko:

 

so that's more like 24-25 songs but if they play shorter edited versions of the fallers for example, than it could be 26-28.

 

What they could do is fiddle about with the song pitch a little, and speed the songs up a little, years ago when i did a month long radio station, i fiddled about with the pitch on a cd player, I shaved 30 secs off of a 4 minute song by doing this.

I love Photograph, such a beautiful and lovely song.
Ooft 'Photograph' is utterly stunning. :heart: I'm glad it's doing rather well now after the underwhelming X Factor boost it had at the end of last year. Fabulous stuff~
