I liked this when it came out, it sounded different and quirky but eventually it got annoying the more it was on the radio.

Still got love for Cheerleader! Glad it overtook See You Again at #1 and became the bigger hit in the end.

Biography

 

London alternative rock quartet Bastille combined glossy '80s synth textures and arena-friendly choruses on early hit singles like "Pompeii," which helped them sell millions of their 2013 debut album, Bad Blood. The group began as the solo project of singer/songwriter Dan Smith -- whose birthday is July 14 (aka Bastille Day) -- but became a full-fledged band in 2010 with the addition of Chris Wood, William Farquarson, and Kyle Simmons. Bastille attracted an audience after putting a few tracks online, leading to support slots at major U.K. festivals like Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight. Eventually they secured a deal with indie label Young and Lost Club and released their debut 7" single, Flaws/Icarus, in July 2011. This was followed later that year by the Laura Palmer EP, named for the teenaged murder victim in David Lynch's cult '90s TV series Twin Peaks; the creepy accompanying video for the track "Overjoyed" was also heavily inspired by the series. "Overjoyed" also became the band's first single for EMI Records in April 2012, while "Bad Blood," which was released that August, peaked at number 90 in the U.K. charts. Bastille had greater success with "Flaws," their first single to debut in the Top 40 upon its release in October 2012.

 

The group's true breakthrough came with "Pompeii," which reached number two on the U.K. charts in February 2013. The following month, Bastille's first full-length arrived, debuting at the top of the U.K. albums chart. Bad Blood sold over two million copies and helped the band earn a 2014 Brit Award for Best Breakthrough Act, as well as nominations for British Album of the Year, British Single of the Year, and British Group. That November, All This Bad Blood, a deluxe version of the album featuring the new single "Of the Night," was released. In 2014, they released the third installment of their mixtape series, VS. (Other People's Heartache, Pt. III), which included collaborations with the likes of HAIM, MNEK, and Angel Haze. They were also nominated for Best New Artist at the 57th Grammy Awards, ultimately losing to Sam Smith. Bastille began work on their second album as they continued to tour, and debuted new material at their concerts. One of these songs, "Hangin'," was released as a single in September 2015. Two more songs, "The Currents" and "Good Grief," appeared in 2016. A few months later, Bastille released their sophomore effort, Wild World. It hit number one in the U.K., and debuted inside the Top Ten in a dozen countries around the world. The next year, the band made contributions to a pair of soundracks, first with a cover of Green Day's "Basket Case" for the television series The Tick, and then "World Gone Mad" for the Will Smith film Bright. "Quarter Past Midnight," the lead single from Bastille's forthcoming third LP, was released in May 2018. Later that year, the band collaborated with Marshmello on the single, "Happier" and with EDM duo Seeb on the song "Grip." They closed out the year with their fourth mixtape, Other People's Heartache, Pt. IV. Early 2019 brought additional singles "Doom Days" and "Joy" in advance of their third album, Doom Days. - iTunes

Amazing to see Pompeii do so well here!! :cheer:

catching up 21-30

 

7 Years - this was great to see do so well, something a bit different. not so keen on anything else of theirs though.

What Do You Mean - amazing how many haters it managed to turn, myself included. a great pop track.

Can't Stop the Feeling - meh at this, I could do without it being JT's biggest songs.

New Rules - what a terrific pop song, pleased it was massive.

Unforgettable - really enjoyed this too, surprised at how massive it was but it's great

Hello - a great comeback for Adele, it would be nice if she came back again in 2020

Someone You Loved - good song but it is still way too massive

Say You Wont Let Go - no thanks

Cheerleader - really love this, surprised to see it so high though but not complaining.

Pompeii - what a song! definitely a deserved mega smash

Wasn't a fan of this at the time, I just couldn''t see why this out of all the indie tracks playlisted on Radio 1 became a hit. It still wouldn't be one of my faves, I even prefer their 'Can't Fight This Feeling' cover to it.

Yay for Budapest being in the top 20 as well, still my fave George Ezra song!

Meh, 'Budapest' got boring quickly, unlike 'Paradise' which I still like.

I was such a fan of George Ezra back in 2014 thanks to Budapest, Blame It On Me and Listen To The Man. Whilst his latest album wasn't bad, I feel like he lost quite a bit of his personality and became just another 'white guy with a guitar'.

Budapest is a nice enough song but like a few on this list it was too way big of a hit.

Since when was Make You Feel My Love from Adele a million seller?

 

I think it re-entered the charts for a good while because of being performed a few times on the X factor iirc.

Omg, as if Pompeii and Budapest (the two big 2010s hits that were named after cities) ended up back-to-back here!

I think it re-entered the charts for a good while because of being performed a few times on the X factor iirc.

Oh I know that, I was wondering when it was confirmed by the OCC as it has been close for a while.

Great to see Let Her Go up here too!

'Let Her Go' was good especially the production with violins in it, I preferred it to other folk-y hits around at that time like The Lumineers' or Of Monsters And Men one. Like Gotye though he never got that follow up hit sadly. At least his new stuff is still occasionally played on radio 2 though.

Edited January 5, 20206 yr by JanuarySaleSnake

really like this, such a beautiful song - one of my faves of the big MOR hits of the decade definitely.

I remember predicting this to be a massive top 3 hit before it made the chart too, one of my proudest predictions
