Yap like I said yesterday the new Sam Smith single is out and gonna be number 1. Sounds massive.

Wow, Sam Smith is not messing about. His best song by a long way, this era is going to be massive.

 

Funny how people thought he was going to do an Emili Sande.

 

Pinks song is excellent too, love the chorus.

I think a lot of people hoped he would.

Think your right. I have never been a fan although I didn't mind a couple of his old songs but thought he had left it too long.

 

Just listened to Charlie Pugh, another surprise! Could be an 'attention' sized hit?

284 Sam Smith Pray

More Sam Smith :puke2:

yes but part of why emeli sande underperformed was cos of spotify, she did well on itunes but barely nothing on spotify... but sure is she had grabbed a deal with spotify and had hurts as song #1 on all immaginable playlists since day 1 + a video added to the playlists, who knows, maybe she would have done better and not underperformed :)

Hurts was insta-added to Hot Hits at #7. I doubt she would have done much better than #22 regardless.

Is it not just an instant grat?

66. P!nk - Whatever You Want

98. Charlie Puth - How Long

124. Jessie J - Not My Ex

201 Sam Smith Pray

327. Craig David - For the Gram

531. Shakka - Heart the Weekend

 

Hope the new Charlie Puth song smashes; much more instant for me than Attention

65. Charlie Puth - How Long

72. Chart Killer - Pray

83. Jessie J - Not My Ex

288. Craig David - For the Gram

 

This Sam Smith song is a revelation. Clever release strategy by him - release something familiar (if a little safe) to remind everyone of your name and then release something much more impactful as a follow up so that they can't accuse you of being samey. Would be difficult to call this song boring.

Any Giggs showing up yet?

Glad he's changed that ridiculous album title to an actually quite good one!

I had to think who Chart Killer was, than I twigged, can we not do that please.

 

Actually on first impression, Pray sounds really good, I wish he released Pray as his debut track from his new material instead of the snoozefest Too Good for Goodbyes.
