I don't particularly like 'Nothing Like This' (I think 'When the Bassline Drops' is more interesting) but I'm so happy about the comeback Craig David is having! I still have his Greatest Hits album somewhere.

I completely agree with that, 'Nothing Like This' is decidedly average compared to 'When the Bassline Drops'.

The way I see it, 'Nothing Like This' looks like being a huge hit BRCAUSE of 'When The Bassline Drops'. It's a situation we've seen quite a few times before; an artist has a surprise early-year hit with a slightly left-field sound. Then follows it up with something for the summer that's not necessarily better, but catchy as hell to maintain momentum. Examples could be;

 

The Weeknd: Earned It... Can't Feel My Face

Fuse ODG: Million Pound Girl... Dangerous Love

Wretch 32: Traktor... Unorthodox

Sean Paul: Gimme The Light... Get Busy

Akon: Locked Up... Lonely

Craig David: When The Bassline Drops... Nothing Like This

biffy #28

was really thinking (naively) this was gonna smash and be top 10 by now

If only Sia promoted 'Cheap Thrills' on The Voice, could have provided her with a much needed top 3 hit.
she's not #4 combined, you also have to combine the other acts with 2 versions... 7 years is clearly above her :D

Not the insinuation that Gimme The Light is better than Get Busy :o

Get Busy is Sean Paul's defining moment.

I agree with the general point you're making but I'd say both 'Can't Feel My Face' and 'Get Busy' are, respectively, much better than 'Earned It' and 'Gimme the Light'.

It is, by far.
It's not :o GTL is so weak and boring in comparison!
