Thanks all.

 

Interesting it has such a strong streaming following after all that time.

I was always more of a 'Somebody Told Me' man anyway.

Same, although even that is starting to tire on me. I'd rather hear 'Human' which strangely I rarely do, despite also being one of their biggest hits.

Yeah, that is categorically the best Killers song there is :D to this day I'll never understand the enduring appeal of 'Mr Brightside' - it's a great song for sure but I just don't get what sets it apart from other classics of that era (of which there are many).

I think it's all about the lyrics and the storytelling in Mr Brightside, which is genius

 

funnily from their debut album Mr Brightside peaked at #10 while When we were Young peaked at #3

Edited by Bjork

As I mentioned in the #1s listen through last week, in the year 2525 Mr Brightside will still be in the chart, and people will still complain about it on Buzzjack :kink:

 

I'd say the question of how it became so popular is fairly moot at this stage - but since it is so popular, it's become a 'safe' choice for anyone setting a playlist as they know a lot of people will like it, therefore propagating more streams to back up its popularity. Also the concept of 'overplay' doesn't translate on a national scale - sure some people will be getting sick of it, but there will be others discovering it or realising they like it just as quickly.

the other problem is there's naff all in terms of new indie rock hits so it's those of the past that keep getting played by those into the genre ie Mr Brightside, Wonderwall, Do I Wanna Know, Riptide which refuse to ever leave the Spotify chart.

 

given Seventeen Going Under is the first one we've had in a long while we can expect that to still be in the Spotify chart in 5 years from now (which I'm sure will please many on Buzzjack of course)

Meh, it's been hijacked and ruined by the straights. I could also happily never hear it again.

Compared to it famously being 4 da gayz in 2004...? :lol:

With the same couple of people making the same posts about it every week along the way no doubt :whistle:

I think it's safe to say that "Joker" was not a good single choice.

 

Well it'll probably go top 10 which is good for a 4th official single (6 if you count 'Visiting Hours' and 'Merry Christmas') so not quite 'The Joker and the Flop'

 

The only other single on the album is '2 Step' which did well on streaming on album release. That'll probably out in spring/summer with a remix.

Yeah Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me) and particularly A Thousand Miles are very popular too now from that era but not as much as Mr Brightside.

 

As a fan of early 80s style new wave music yes I much prefer Somebody Told Me to Mr Brightside!

Just for you Brer I’ll make sure to make a comment weekly, hopefully it will change things up in between your sarcastic comments and the constant BJ Ed bashing on here :cheer:

on Spotify today, not much going on except some Superbowl songs entering (Eminem Dr.Dre etc)

 

1 Bruno 324K

2 Overseas 247K

3 Sam F 245K

4 Heat Waves 242K

 

Ed/Taylor still doing poorly at #22 despite the massive playlist support

but even worst for Oh My God, #1 on HH + cover but still "only" at 26 with not even 150K

but despite people's lack of response has been there at the top for a month now...

Sam has been 2-2-4-3 so far this week on Spotify, and Top 5 on Amazon but not Top 5 officially yet? Must be getting really dragged down by Apple and YouTube?

He’s still got 2 versions in the Apple top 200 at #25 and #130, so combined he must be top 15 minimum there I would imagine, I can only think it’s YouTube that’s letting him down, thought he would be comfortably top 5 officially

but Youtube streams don't count for much... Lost Frequencies are getting like 125,000 streams a day on YT, thats like 200 sales a day
