Biography

Jessica Ellen Cornish (born 27 March 1988), better known by her stage name Jessie J, is an English singer and songwriter. Born and brought up in London, England, she studied at the BRIT School before signing with Gut Records and striking a songwriting deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing where she wrote for artists including Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus.

 

After signing with Universal Republic, Jessie J came to prominence following the release of her debut single, "Do It Like a Dude", which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Charts. In 2011, after topping the charts in nineteen countries including the United Kingdom, France, Ireland and New Zealand, with the song "Price Tag", she released her début album, Who You Are, which charted at number two in the UK. Other releases from the album included "Nobody's Perfect", "Who's Laughing Now" and "Who You Are", which all charted within the top 20 in the UK. Release of the fifth single, "Domino", resulted in further international chart success, peaking at number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and becoming her second UK number one. The seventh single released from Who You Are, "LaserLight", became the album's sixth top ten single, making her the first British female artist to have six top ten singles from a studio album. Her second album, Alive, was released on 23 September 2013 and reached the top 5 in the UK Albums Chart. Aside from her musical career, Jessie J served as coach and mentor on television show, The Voice UK.

 

Citing various influences, Jessie J is recognised for an unconventional musical and performance style that mixes soul vocals with contemporary R&B, pop, electropop, and hip-hop beats. Jessie J has garnered various awards and nominations for contributions to the music industry, including the 2011 Critics' Choice BRIT Award and the BBC's Sound of 2011. As of April 2012, Jessie J had sold over 11 million singles and 2.5 million albums, worldwide. - Wikipedia

Flashlight :wub: :wub: :wub:

Two of my favourite songs in the chart back to back *.* This is easily one of Jessie's best and very quickly becoming one of the best of this year, such a beautiful song and Jessie's vocals are amazing :heart: :heart:

Has it been confirmed that Apple Music counts in the charts yet though?

Edited July 5, 201511 yr by n4yr

Flashlight is really gorgeous, everytime I think I'm tiring of it, I realise how nice it is again. Big shame it missed the top 10 officially despite making the top 5 on iTunes (I think).

Argh at the creepy screen cap (still!).

Nice track, glad this one of hers has had some success.

Yes, although I doubt it has been contributing this week - however I do think some people have been massively overestimating its impact. Spotify is by far the market leader and it will take Apple a long time to come anywhere near, despite the advantages they have.

Sunday chart memory, My Chemical Romance get to Number 1. How the hell did that happen?

 

OMG yes this was one of my favourite ever chart memories/oddities :wub:

 

I have no idea how it happened, I recall it got quite a lot of video play, but still!

I love Flashlight.

This is just so unremarkable.

 

(but here's a remark I made about it anyway :magic:)

Jessie J still relevant in 2015. :wub: Eminem who?

Fingers crossed that Krept & Konan made the top 10. Last time I cared about a chart position so much was 6 Words last Autumn :lol:

how this jessica cornish generic bilge is enjoying any degree of success is truly baffling~ :puke:

Same for me. Still the most unbelievable #1 of all time IMO, not in any era did I expect a track of that nature to be a #1.

Jessie J Ew :puke:
