'Green Green Grass' being a top 10 hit when 'Anyone For You' never managed it feels weird, but go him!

Goes to show that the general public love a nursery rhyme

 

(and I guess him performing at the jubilee helped)

2Step is ok on first full listen, don't think I'd ever listen to it out of choice though. Think I'm the only person that wished The Joker & The Queen had way more longevity, I still adore it so much!

agree on this one, Anyone for You was much better

 

GGG is a bit silly but glad for him

I still think Peru is a bop after all this time haha. Love it when it comes on as I'm driving past the palm trees...

Lol, me too.

honestly... i must be part of the minority on here but i don't see the appeal. its not a dreadful dance track and i'm not forced to mute the radio, but its definitely not as amazing as ive heard it being made out to be

 

Certainly a better dance tune than the likes of Belters etc.

 

Yay at 'Peru' out!

Congratulations to Ed Sheeran - 50 consecutive weeks in the top 10:

 

1 song - 25 weeks

2 songs - 21 weeks

3 songs - 4 weeks

Once Dance's 23 week run in the Top 10 remains the longest since the 1950s.

Could these two songs not have been the other way around last week? Ed needs a #10 peak and Peru would have been at every Top 10 position except #1, ah well

Who holds the artists record for most consecutive weeks in the Top 10 though? Ed must be approaching that?

Biography

 

George Ezra’s spirited folk-pop sing-alongs could have thrived in any era, but their mix of worldly curiosity, unbridled optimism and a few playful loops and synths reflects a truly millennial ideal. Born George Ezra Barnett in Hertfordshire, England in 1993, the singer/songwriter grew up seeking comfort in the wordplay of folk laureates like Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie and the raw, emotional resonance of blues masters like Lead Belly. He trained his voice to sound as bold and booming as the latter, and honed his writing chops while travelling—an activity he’d been fascinated with since falling in love with Paddington Bear as a kid. The fictional teddy would come to inspire Ezra’s 2014 debut album, Wanted on Voyage, a phrase found on Paddington’s suitcase. Singles “Budapest” and “Barcelona” burst with buoyant acoustic hooks while evoking the modest sensibility of Ed Sheeran. They also represent a clear sense of place, and Ezra’s eternal wanderlust, something he slips into each of his effervescent works—whether that’s finding “Paradise” in love or riding “Shotgun” to anywhere. That exuberant joie de vivre feels ever more evocative under the influence of his robust baritone, a soothing sonorousness that goes down like a finely aged wine. - Apple Music

I remember when Anyone For You was released I made a comment that it emerged at the wrong time of year, it's a sun drenched summer track released in the depths of winter.

 

Had Green Green Grass come first, and Anyone For You been second with the jubilee performance, I think the latter could have been quite a big summer top five - quite odd scheduling.

not long till he marks a full calendar year within the top 10 as bad habits was released end of june last year

Good luck to Peru in their World Cup play off against Australia btw :)

I had forgotten this game will be next Monday. Good luck to Australia. :P

Let's hope the next Leah Kate installment slips by unnoticed in that case!

Surprised this song is getting so much stick, I’m absolutely obsessed with it, that chorus is infectious and I think this is my favourite George Ezra song to date!

George's 7th UK top 10.

 

Go boy :w00t:
