Seems quite likely, it's surely a too little-known song to be plugged as much as it has been with no ulterior motive. Guess they're trying to get viewers used to it so it sounds instantly recognisable by the time the final rolls around.

 

I don't remember them plugging Forever Young at all last year, and it just seemed like the most random choice of winner's single ever, mainly because it's really not that anthemic at all, despite the efforts they made to try and make it so. Rise Up ticks all the usual boxes lyrically and musically that Forever Young failed to tick.

 

Yes Forever Young is a funny one, must just be a favourite of Simon. It was also due to be One Direction's winner's single of course.

 

Simon said Rise Up is one of his favourite songs so really does seem probable that it's being considered for the winner's single - though really it would suit a girl and I'm sure they want Matt to win.

That was a different Forever Young, their version actually leaked a while ago!

 

 

But I agree, Louisa's Forever Young was an odd choice, I liked her version but it was never a hit really.

^ That was actually the Forever Young I was hoping for when I saw Louisa was covering that. Was utterly disappointed with the actual choice.

Oh yeah I knew that, I'm getting confused! The Bob Dylan one was on Jahmene Douglas's album, so that's the link I meant to point out.

Wonder what's caused the massive climb?

Video release on Friday plus continued airplay, not that unusual for a new song to be climbing! :kink:

The fact it's 59p too :P

With that climb, you'd think she performed it tonight

Famous - Nathan Sykes #26

The top 10 has provided it with a great impact and the fact that it's on the third song featured in "hot tracks" has helped, in hoping it could go top 3 on iTunes before Friday but at least we are looking likely of seeing Zara going top 10 next week with airplay no doubt about to dramatically increase

Would love 'Ain't My Fault' to be the first solo female act #1 of the year (highly doubt it with Bruno releasing on Friday!)

 

Would love for Little Mix to do it with their new one in a couple of weeks, but I'm not hopeful after the disastrous year for women in chart music atm!! :drama:

Unless you know something I don't about Bruno Mars, doesn't that just mean she might have to wait a bit longer?

The Mura Masa/ASAP Rocky song is really good. :wub:

Haha. Yeah. That's just terrible wording on my behalf! Lmao. Sorry. I meant that with Bruno releasing, I doubt there will be a female led number 1 this year :lol: I can see Bruno holding onto the top spot for a lengthy time (unless he decides to give us his own 'Perfect Illusion' ofc) and then I think Chainsmokers could get another couple of weeks at some point with their new one.

Is that for absolute certain we're getting Little Mix in a couple of weeks?
