April 9, 20242 yr Think Hozier is gonna be #1 by about 3500 thousand sales Over 3 million is quite impressive, Elton John's record finally broken :o :lol:
April 9, 20242 yr I wonder who the next one hit wonder will be to break out again. Rachel Platten? :lol:
April 9, 20242 yr I wonder who the next one hit wonder will be to break out again. Rachel Platten? :lol: Knowing our luck, probably something like Lukas Graham.
April 9, 20242 yr Hozier isn’t exactly comparable to those two he wasn’t even a one hit wonder before this year anyway as the follow up to TMTC went top 20 and even so he’s been an album seller since
April 9, 20242 yr Hozier isn’t exactly comparable to those two he wasn’t even a one hit wonder before this year anyway as the follow up to TMTC went top 20 and even so he’s been an album seller since True but for the average music fan TMTC is probably seen as his only big/memorable hit.
April 9, 20242 yr The singles off Khruangbin's album have been streamed more than those from VW's too, not huge WW numbers but still 8m, 6m, 4m vs 5m, 2m, 2m. Father of the Bride was overly long and full of absolute dirge, became the third year in a row where a previous massive favourite act of mine released what was comfortably the worst album I listened to that year, following Arcade Fire and Arctic Monkeys I’ve been a huge Vampire Weekend fan from the start. Father of the Bride was indeed a poor album, particularly by their high standards, but the new one is a definite return to form. Don’t condemn them for ever just because they made one sub-par album.
April 9, 20242 yr True but for the average music fan TMTC is probably seen as his only big/memorable hit. By that logic though, Rick Astley is a one hit wonder for the same reason (at least for a fairly large age group). I don't think the 'has heard of Hozier but only knows that one song' window is as big.
April 9, 20242 yr and some for Kylie, everything from I Should be so Lucky to Can't Get You Out of My Head would be flops despite having like 20 top 5 hits or something, and same for everything post-Can't Get You Out of my Head
April 9, 20242 yr and some for Kylie, everything from I Should be so Lucky to Can't Get You Out of My Head would be flops despite having like 20 top 5 hits or something, and same for everything post-Can't Get You Out of my Head I think that's really pushing it, but you do you.
April 9, 20242 yr A tremendous artist They're also the opposite of Tame Impala in that Lukas Graham is surprisingly a band! :lol: Although down to a duo these days it seems.
April 9, 20242 yr and some for Kylie, everything from I Should be so Lucky to Can't Get You Out of My Head would be flops despite having like 20 top 5 hits or something, and same for everything post-Can't Get You Out of my Head How ridiculous of an example considering she had 4 other #1s in that period. Spinning Around is also just as iconic as those 2
April 9, 20242 yr By that logic though, Rick Astley is a one hit wonder for the same reason (at least for a fairly large age group). I don't think the 'has heard of Hozier but only knows that one song' window is as big. Fair point. Maybe rather than one hit wonder I should have said one top 15 hit. :lol:
April 9, 20242 yr How ridiculous of an example considering she had 4 other #1s in that period. Spinning Around is also just as iconic as those 2 He knows exactly what he's doing here, f'kin troll. I'd say 'Locomotion' is arguably more widely recognised than ISBSL (for better or worse), and of course there's 'Especially For You' which is a million seller, 'Spinning Around' is widely known among a variety of age groups too. Of course it's up for debate how well-known various other hits are but yes, an utterly stupid thing to come out with even by their standards.

April 9, 20242 yr So how comes take to church didn’t get to 1? It had one of the slowest climbs ever and was a huge seller so it just didn’t quite have a big enough single week. 49-49-35-28-26-32-31-33-34-34-25-31-32-27-22-20-23-10-5-3-3-{2}-3-2-2-2-4-6-6-7-8-10-15-16-17-16-19-22-24-26-28-31-35-33-43-39-39-43-47-47-42-39-46-49-53-53-52-56-66-66-65-69-69-62R(5)-70R(2)-55->66
