February 3, 20224 yr I do feel sometimes this "summery sounding" thing is a bit of a myth. We wouldn't have a song called 'Heat Waves' getting its peak on Spotify at the coldest point of the year if the theory held that much water.
February 3, 20224 yr I don't think one can really PLAN what hits are big in the summer and what are not. And even less it makes sense to release a song in February if the aim is to get a hit during the summer.
February 3, 20224 yr Cue also, someone using the term "cheesy fad". Edited February 3, 20224 yr by dj_tim_e
February 3, 20224 yr Cue also, someone using the term "cheesy fad". I don't really understand the term "Cheesy Fad" to describe Ed Sheeran. Whereas his music could be considered cheesy, the usual definition for "Fad" is something that is popular for a short amount of time, with limited shelf-life and fades as quickly as it arrived. I'm not sure Ed Sheeran's career could be described as that?
February 3, 20224 yr He is literally the opposite of a 'fad'. A certain person just kept repeating that term and its become a running joke I guess. ;)
February 3, 20224 yr Don Broco posted on insta earlier that they were still #1 in the mids and The Weeknd were at #2

Whereas his music could be considered cheesy, the usual definition for "Fad" is something that is popular for a short amount of time, with limited shelf-life and fades as quickly as it arrived. I'm not sure Ed Sheeran's career could be described as that? He's definitely not a fad, he's a long term pop star. His music isn't actually that cheesy anyway compared to most popular music in history. His career is now clocking up to 17 years, 11 of them since his first album success (by the way for anyone who thinks he was an 'overnight success' go look at the amount of EPs he put out beforehand). I think the issue is some people struggle to separate their dislike of Ed's music from his obvious talent, work-rate and sheer example to other artists. He was a man who was down and out, busking on the streets of London and yes, homeless (although he claims he 'wasn't homeless' his description fits with any professional organisations definition of hidden homelessness. He's rebuilt from that to become one of the UK's most successful pop stars in history, he writes decent music and he is an incredibly likeable person in general.
February 3, 20224 yr Don Broco posted on insta earlier that they were still #1 in the mids and The Weeknd were at #2 Come on Don Broco. That would be awesome.
February 3, 20224 yr Tuesday and Thursday last time update then days must December been ages so think gone 3 day week update
February 3, 20224 yr Years and Years climbing in the albums from the last update and on track for a 2nd week top 10, i thought it would struggle to stay top 100. Just out of interest, why did you think that?
February 4, 20224 yr Just out of interest, why did you think that? I thought that as I thought it would be a fan base buy only and with so many multi formats bought by fans on week 1 that it would drop fast so i'm really pleased with how well its held up.
February 4, 20224 yr ^was never gonna do a 1-OUT the minute they added all the old hits to the release not just for the Spotify streams but also on CD and itunes so in reality it's a regular album+greatest hits package
February 4, 20224 yr Fairly sure the old hits aren't available on a CD edition of Night Call You're correct. It's not "a regular album+greatest hits package".

He's rebuilt from that to become one of the UK's most successful pop stars in history, he writes decent music and he is an incredibly likeable person in general. His music is really cheesy, basic and unoriginal. At times, it even sounds like a lullaby for an infant or a nursery rhyme.
February 4, 20224 yr His music is really cheesy, basic and unoriginal. At times, it even sounds like a lullaby for an infant or a nursery rhyme. I really don’t understand why you hate him so much, you let your hatred for him make comments that are just ridiculous. He’s a talented artist who makes good music, whether you like him or not you can’t deny he’s a talented artist with a good voice.
February 4, 20224 yr ^was never gonna do a 1-OUT the minute they added all the old hits to the release not just for the Spotify streams but also on CD and itunes so in reality it's a regular album+greatest hits package They didn’t add the old hits to the CD/Vinyl - just to streaming where they can inflate the album sales and iTunes.
