Artists featured: 5 Seconds of Summer AJ Tracey Anne-Marie Bastille Biffy Clyro Celeste Chris Martin Dermot Kennedy Dua Lipa Ellie Goulding Grace Carter Hailee Steinfeld Jess Glynne Mabel Paloma Faith Rag’n’Bone Man Rita Ora Royal Blood Sam Fender Sean Paul Sigrid Yungblud Zara Larsson @1252190273154641924
April 20, 20205 yr There's two many charity singles now... people are getting confused, it's like Xmas week!
April 20, 20205 yr Oh wow, this is interesting! Possibly the next #1? Edited April 20, 20205 yr by Gerald
April 20, 20205 yr Very interesting, a good lineup and a fantastic choice of song to cover as I LOVE the original! :wub:
April 20, 20205 yr Can see this doing extremely well - a ‘credible’ charity track, a bit likhe when the BBC done ‘Perfect Day’ years ago.
April 20, 20205 yr I agree, there's waaaaay too many charity singles around at the moment. This will obviously have a bit more buzz though so I can see it doing fairly well - I'm just not crazy about that song! Edited April 20, 20205 yr by M4NGO
April 20, 20205 yr Can see this doing extremely well - a ‘credible’ charity track, a bit likhe when the BBC done ‘Perfect Day’ years ago. Remember when they tried to recreate that with God Only Knows a few years ago?
April 20, 20205 yr Remember when they tried to recreate that with God Only Knows a few years ago? Yes, it was a bit of a screwed up release TBF - the physical coming out a month after the download which lead to it having 2 stints in the Top 40, probably would have been a Top 10 hit if handled differently - certainly not as big a ‘Perfect Day’ but still decent.
April 23, 20205 yr Not Jess Glynne coming for another #1! (I'm excited to hear to this but I don't actually think it will challenge for #1)
April 23, 20205 yr I don't think it will challenge for #1 either but very much looking forward to hearing it!
April 23, 20205 yr Author Sounds really good! Great to hear Dave Grohl's vocals on it as well. The video is releasing at 20:15.
April 23, 20205 yr it was sounding very nice, great they opened with Dua Lipa, but then the rap came and ruined it :/
April 23, 20205 yr That's pretty good actually! Love how they open with Dua Lipa and close with Chris Martin, beautiful :wub:
April 23, 20205 yr I hate these Thursday releases though :drama: The streams today won’t count for anything
