Just popping on to celebrate two of the best chart battles ever! 👍😃

I miss you :o

Really loving drag me down now, hope it climbs back top 10 next week :wub:

Jess Glynne's voice reminds me of Adele's for some reason. Don't know why tho :lol:

Drag Me Down isn't bad, but it's definitely my least favourite number one from this year so far.

Biography

One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) are an English-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Previously, Zayn Malik was a member until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after forming and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by social media, One Direction's four albums, Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013) and Four (2014) topped charts in most major markets, and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young", "Story of My Life" and "Steal My Girl".

 

Their achievements include five Brit Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, eleven MTV Europe Music Awards, and nineteen Teen Choice Awards out of nineteen nominations, among many others. According to Nick Gatfield, the chairman and chief executive of Sony Music Entertainment UK, One Direction represented a $50 million business empire by June 2012. They were proclaimed 2012's "Top New Artist" by Billboard. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, by April 2013, they had an estimated personal combined wealth of £25 million ($41.2m) making them the second-wealthiest musicians in the UK under 30 years of age. In 2014, Forbes listed them the second-highest earning celebrities under 30, with the group earning an estimated $75 million from June 2013 to June 2014.

 

After the release of Four, One Direction became the first band in the U.S. Billboard 200 history to have their first four albums debut at number one. Their third album, Midnight Memories, was the biggest-selling album worldwide of 2013 despite being released in late November. In 2014, Billboard named One Direction Artist of the Year - Wikipedia

Even though it's one of Maroon 5's worst singles, This Summer>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the rest of the chart tbh.

I knew you were secretly a Maroon 5 stan. *.*

Jess Glynne is very decent singer. Surely, she is not the best british female singer but she has the potential to be one of the bests.

 

Shame she's a bit on the poor side as a live performer.

Drag Me Down :wub: Looking forward to it climbing back up next week with the video impact :D

I actually like Drag Me Down. It's probably the Police influences tho. Their best song by far.

I love Omen.

Omen is ok but really surprised that it might not go top 10 at this rate :o

I knew you were secretly a Maroon 5 stan. *.*

 

Since when has my Maroon 5 stanning been a secret? You should have been here circa 2011 when Bray and I went to war over MLJ.

Jess Glynne's voice reminds me of Adele's for some reason. Don't know why tho :lol:

 

I've always thought Natasha Bedingfield (although not as 'throaty')

 

(that's not a diss at Nat Bed btw, I love her)

Omen :wub: :wub:

Those 1D and Disclosure runs are really getting on my nerves. At least the former has the video release to help it.

Shame she's a bit on the poor side as a live performer.

 

I haven't watched a live perfromance of hers yet. However, I guess that you're right. Many pop artists are very bad with their live performances.

"Drag Me Down" sounds quite good..

Disclosure are on fire again this era. :wub: Cannot get enough of 'Omen' right now <333

Omen is LUSH *.* Sam should use this tone of his voice more, it's tolerable at least.

Edited August 21, 201510 yr by Kieran.

Omen has grown on me a bit, still nothing amazing but probably the best thing Disclosure have done this era (which sounds quite sad considering how good they were last time :'()
