The most feel-good song in the chart followed by the most feel-like-death song of the charts. Ugh.

 

And now a song that literally is right in the middle of both 'feel good' and 'feel like death'! Sharp quality turns in the last three songs.

URGH @ this vapid mor polluting the top10 :/
Fight Song and Peanut Butter Jelly still sounding brilliant after all this time I've been spam-playing them. Yay.

Biography

Abel Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990), known by his stage name The Weeknd, is a Canadian PBR&B recording artist and record producer. In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd". He released three nine-track mixtapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed. The following year, he released a compilation album, Trilogy, consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Republic Records and his own label XO. In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land, which was supported by the singles "Kiss Land", and "Live For".

 

The Weeknd has received praise from several music publications, including Pitchfork, MTV, BET, Rolling Stone, XXL and The Source. MTV's John Norris has dubbed him the "songbird of his generation" and the "best musical talent since Michael Jackson". - Wikipedia

At least we have Ellie Goulding, Saviour of the UK Chart, to shake things up next week.

 

And R. City/Adam Levine and Naughty Boy/Beyoncé too.

I wonder if BMTH will have the first album to miss #1 due to streaming?
'can't feel my face' ~ so great :music:
I wonder if BMTH will have the first album to miss #1 due to streaming?

Why would their album miss #1 due to streaming? I imagine they'd have got a LOT more streams than Stereophonics
