Glitterball is great, I'm really glad it's done so well. If it continues like this it'll get more top 40 weeks than Gravity.

Gravity? I don't get the comparison? It's a DJ Fresh song :unsure:

Glitterball grown on me. Glad it still manages good retention in the charts.

Peanut Butter Jelly getting top 20 is great to see :music:

 

Glitteryawn though :zzz: please go away

Glitterball still fresh and relevant. :wub:

Glitterball has one of my favorite intros in ages, it sounds very Coldplay/U2 or something! The rest of the song doesn't really live up to that but it's still good.

Gravity? I don't get the comparison? It's a DJ Fresh song :unsure:

Didn't they both peak at #4? :P

 

Didn't they both peak at #4? :P

not only that, they sound very similar too and both are 'drum n bass act featuring female singer' (coincidentally both female singers are called Ella also)

Didn't they both peak at #4? :P

ok but that's all they have common. I think he thought Gravity was a Sigma song too :heehee:

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

I love 'Drag Me Down' now.

Drag Me Down is good, but all five songs before it are much better. Kindly fall back behind them next week.

Odd chart run for 1D. ^_^

 

So happy Martin Solveig is still top 10! :wub:

1D grabbing that longevity :cheer:

This isn't actually too bad for a One Direction song. Still excited about them going on hiatus next year though

what a mess

not only that, they sound very similar too and both are 'drum n bass act featuring female singer' (coincidentally both female singers are called Ella also)

Actually Glitterball spent now more weeks in the top 10 than Gravity (if we are comparing). :D

Top 40 Albums :cheer:
