Completely passed me by that Blinding Lights is ahead of Heartless now - good to know!

im expecting a new peak next week for elton

It sounds really familiar from somewhere, is it taken from the hook of a 80s/early 90s dance hit by someone like Technotronic ?

 

It was a #11 hit in 2004 for Belgian singer Danzel (I think that the vocals in the Endor version are his), but I've heard that it's an adaptation from a 1996 track by Black & White Brothers.

Edited December 20, 20196 yr by N-S

Step Into Christmas is one of my least favourite Xmas songs but it would annoy me not to hear it at least once in December. I think it's as big as it is due to the status of Elton in uk culture now. At the time it charted poorly and he was in his peak era too.

Biography

 

Harry Edward Styles (born 1 February 1994) is an English singer, songwriter, and actor. His musical career began in 2010 when he auditioned for the British singing competition The X Factor. He was eliminated early on, but was brought back to form the boy band One Direction. The band finished in third place and signed with Syco. They earned four number-one studio albums on the Billboard 200, and earned four top-five singles on the Billboard Hot 100. They embarked on four world tours and won a number of accolades. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.

 

Styles signed with Columbia Records as a solo artist in 2016. His self-titled debut album was released in 2017 and topped the charts of fourteen countries. His debut single, "Sign of the Times", was released earlier that year and topped the charts in seven countries, including the UK Singles Chart; it also peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, and was named Rolling Stone’s Single of the Year. Styles also made his film debut in Christopher Nolan's war film Dunkirk (2017), which was a major box office success. - Wikipedia

Cover of Danzel's original 2004 #11 hit.

3 top 20 hits this era for Harry, amazing outcome!! So pleased Watermelon Sugar has rebounded, wonder if it stands any chance of sticking around a little into the new year :thinking:

Watermelon Sugar is also really good from Harry! I've really liked the two singles this and Falling, is his album worth a listen? I hated everything from his first album :lol:

I have never liked a Harry Styles solo single but this Watermelon Sugar is actually sounding pretty good.

This is the best song I've heard so far from the album, glad it's cracked the Top 20!

I'm only just now learning that Elton John's middle name is Hercules *_*

 

Excellent new peak for Watermelon Sugar :wub:

Okay I forgot about John Lennon and Band Aid, those would be the second and third biggest Steve :P

 

Thanks I'm genuinely interested so I am, not just annoying you with questions.

 

Makes sense with John lennon too tho.

Watermelon Sugar is also really good from Harry! I've really liked the two singles this and Falling, is his album worth a listen? I hated everything from his first album :lol:

I mean, I'd always say yes :kink: but I've heard from friends who weren't keen on the first album and they vastly prefer the second one so far!! Worth a spin *.*

It'll have a weird chart run, I can see it not being top 40 next week then rising when the Xmas songs leave.

Biography

 

Michael Barratt (born 4 March 1948), known as Shakin' Stevens, is a platinum-selling Welsh British rock and roll singer and songwriter who was the UK's biggest-selling singles artist of the 1980s. His recording and performing career began in the late 1960s, although it was not until 1980 that his commercial success began.

 

In the UK alone, Stevens has charted 33 Top 40 hit singles including four chart topping hits "This Ole House", "Green Door", "Oh Julie", and "Merry Christmas Everyone"; his last Top 40 single was "Trouble" in 2005 apart from his Christmas song, which has re-entered the UK Top 40 chart each December since 2007. - Wikipedia
