Is it just me that thinks the zayn song is rather bland

 

No you're not!

 

In my opinion this year has seen the worst run of number ones for a long time...

a lot of solo singer-songwriters have a permanent band that always plays with them live and on studio, so there is a thin line between considering them a solo artist or a band...

but in the case of Florence + The Machine, it's a proper band, actually The Machine is the nickname of this girl that is also in the band, I think her name is Isabel Summers (from memory but I might be off), and she not only plays and tours, she also writes songs, think she cowrote most of the big ones in the beginning like Dog Days are Over and Cosmic Love,... so the Brits got it all wrong nominating Florence as solo singer :(

 

Yeah I thought it was her permanent band but she was a solo ainger and wrote the songs herself but composed them with the permanent band!!

 

Are we sure she's a band? I think her case is vvvv. Confusing and not clear - look at the Brits! :lol:

 

"Accepting the award for Best Solo Artist, Florence Welch said that although she was aware it was “still unknown” whether she was part of a band or a solo artist, she would not be giving the award back. "

 

I mean, what???

I actually really like 'PILLOWTALK' and have grown to really like 'Stitches' too (and was already quite a fan of 'Love Yourself' anyway). So quite happy with these 2016 #1s so far. A much better start than 2015 anyway.

If you look at the Spotify Chart thread, you'll see that he's actually quite far ahead on streams too so pretty much has the #1 on lock.

 

Oh right thanks Joseph! I didn't even know that thread existed. :lol:

I'm just glad it isn't as slow as the start of 2015, we were still with Uptown Funk at this point.

 

I really like 'Pillow Talk' and 'Stitches' is okay too.

8. Justin Bieber - Love Yourself

15. Justin Bieber - Sorry

26. Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean?

 

Finally going away! :yahoo:

 

On the other hand, there's very little in the top 10 I'd really listen to right now... Zara Larsson to be massive please! :D

On iTunes, yeah they are, but they're still getting stupid amounts of streams! :lol:

Oh, I know, just trying to block out the fact that streaming exists for the moment :P

Every little helps :P

 

Surely What Do You Mean will finally leave the top 10 this week? It's been dropping on Spotify too (although still #7).

Yeah, I think it will for sure, there's too much new stuff and it's sales are falling too much for it to stay top 10 from just streaming.

All 3 of Bieber's single will hit 2x Platinum

 

Amazing!!! (Predominantly streaming points)

06. Lukas Graham - 7 Years

Wish Rachel could get another top 40 hit officially but can't see that happening sad.gif

59. Jordin Sparks Ft Chris Brown- No Air

 

Glad to see this get a good boost from 59p :heart:

Jordin needs those sales after the disaster of her third album!

She released a 3rd album? I thought that 'Bye Felicia' thing was just an EP? :o
