February 18, 20169 yr Grenade is seriously awful, really good to see taste prevailed and Rolling In The Deep outsold it eventually. King and Just Dance are great :dance:
February 18, 20169 yr I always thought King was overrated. Sounded like I Feel Better from Hotchip. I like Just dance the most from Gaga's first 4 singles. I overplayed Pokerface. Bruno Mars is pretty awful. Edited February 18, 20169 yr by Colm
February 18, 20169 yr Author 74. FORGET YOU CEE-LO GREEN 979,000 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VKOWllQUL._SY300_.jpg And as if to prove my point here's Mars again on songwriting duties for former Gnarls Barkley frontman Cee-Lo Green. Coming in four versions with a “clean” edit entitled “Forget You” for daytime radio, it had enough sass to assist him in a perfect start to his solo career. pc0mxOXbWIU
February 18, 20169 yr Author 73. BENEATH YOUR BEAUTIFUL LABRINTH FT EMELI SANDE 982,000 Combining two of the biggest stars of the year always generate a massive hit and this is no exception, co-penned between the pair and Mike Posner (again), this exploded after an “X Factor” appearance when it soared 85-1 in the wake of the programme. zDpw6knhez0
February 18, 20169 yr Author 72. CHANDELIER SIA 988,100 Written with either Rihanna or Beyonce in mind this quickly transformed into her biggest solo hit getting regular boosts from the likes of the Voice and X Factor and has now become her longest charting hit overtaking “Titanium”. 8Hg_rIqOZHc
February 18, 20169 yr Great countdown so far there, Gezza. Forget You and Chandelier both very good songs in their own way, Chandelier a modern classic. Beneath Your Beautiful was good but now quite dull.
February 18, 20169 yr Beneath Your Beautiful and Chandelier are both amazing! Forget You is great aswell. Edited February 19, 20169 yr by Taylor Jago
February 18, 20169 yr what is it with Mike Posner writing those massive hits and not having one himself for ages? well at least that's about to change, though somehow I doubt 'Ibiza' will sell upwards of 900k. 'Forget You' and 'Chandelier' are very good although both suffered a bit with overplay and being in the charts for too long.
February 19, 20169 yr Author 71. EARTHQUAKE LABRINTH FT TINIE TEMPAH 993,000 Launching with a sale of 115k in October 2013 behind Professor Green and Emeli Sande this is the highest placed Labrinth track on the list. The mysterious choral breakdown in the middle of the track was apparently included as a dare, at least here Labrinth appears more magnanimous than Tinie was on “Pass Out” and gives the latter an official credit! u0fk6syQ7iY
February 19, 20169 yr Author 70. LOVE YOURSELF JUSTIN BIEBER 996,837 http://i66.tinypic.com/9aqvs4.jpg Never heard this one? Yes of course you have, part of the tetralogy that seem to have rebranded Bieber in late 2015 it became his third chart topper in just 7 weeks, rather from famine to feast after waiting 5 years to make it all the way. It spent 6 weeks at No 1 and only just missed out on the Christmas chart topper last year though Bieber approved, it also headed an all Bieber top 3 in January creating UK chart records in its wake. He must get Ed Sheeran in to co-write more songs for him! 9t7VbZCRxrQ
February 19, 20169 yr Author 69. JAR OF HEARTS CHRISTINA PERRI 1,009,000 Not many new acts to get to premier their debut single on US prime time TV but Perri managed to “Jar Of Hearts” used in one the dances on “So You Think You Can Dance” before she even had a record deal. Written about an ex, it has almost spent a year in the top 75 and now has sales of over a million- impressive for a No 4 hit. dz7BGlgb5Do
February 19, 20169 yr Jar Of Hearts is an incredible and really beautiful song, so happy it is now a million seller :heart:
February 19, 20169 yr Earthquake and Jar Of Hearts :wub: Both were big faves of mine in 2011, especially Earthquake but I gotta give JOH much credit for being the best piano ballad from the short period when they were a thing.
February 20, 20169 yr Author 68. SHAKE IT OFF TAYLOR SWIFT 1,014,000 Another piece of Max Martin gold (in part at least) “Shake It Off” announced that Swift had arrived in the “A” league of global popstars. It spent more weeks in the top 75 and indeed in the top 10 than any of her other singles and was only deprived of the No 1 spot by Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”. _hfjcTbjSLY
February 20, 20169 yr Matt Cardigan must be coming up soon, he used to be the decade #1 back in 2010. Dark days.. !
February 20, 20169 yr Author 67. WHEN WE COLLIDE MATT CARDLE 1,026,000 To say that Biffy Clyro fans were not entirely happy with the decision to cover the band’s “Many Of Horror” as the winning X Factor single would be diplomatic as the inevitable “campaign” started to make the original a hit over again. To be fair it did allow the song to repeak at No 8 (it was a no 20 hit first time around) so it wasn’t all bad, as for Cardle well his career didn’t do too well. 0404uBUryrY
February 20, 20169 yr Author 66. STARSHIPS NICKI MINAJ 1,028,000 By some chalk Minaj’s biggest hit combing the writing talents of RedOne and Wayne Hector to come with this stellar seller. It was only stopped from hitting the top by Gotye (itself still to come) so perhaps it was just bad timing. 52xsT-be8Kc
February 20, 20169 yr :D Colm is about to lose his sh*t at Nicki Minaj appearing. I still think “Super Bass” should be here instead.
