Sounds like it could have been on White on Blonde (or Rockferry). Good timing that she went back to that style at exactly the same time that everyone else was doing the same thing 🤣

Here is one I really liked at the time, even making it my ringtone! :P

 

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks {#18, 2011}

 

Can’t believe this was their only charting hit, there were other great songs on the debut album.

I wasn’t that fussed on the second album though so didn’t really follow them after that.

Look Alive by BlocBoy JB (feat. Drake) hit #17 in 2018 and was #65 on the year-end chart - BlocBoy JB has not charted any other songs on the UK charts (needless to say, Drake has charted many, many other songs...)

hardly helped BlocBoy's case that he was essentially the guest artist on his own song there and it was only a hit cos of Drake

hell, I'd argue Tay Keith's production did more to help the song be a hit than BlocBoy's presence on it did 💀

BlocBoy did have another moment in the sun in the charts by being namedropped in AJ Tracey's 'Ladbroke Grove' at least... and that was in reference to his second most popular song 'Rover' (which got a remix with 21 Savage in an attempt to give him a second hit carried by a big name feature but didn't quite work out, though it has a halfway respectable 88 million streams on Spotify).
