September 6, 20242 yr Well I'm not totally sure if I like "We Pray" on 1st listen - it's quite 2000s RnB. However at least it's not utterly boring and predictable like its predecessor.
September 6, 20242 yr boo the OCC crediting this to just Coldplay and not crediting any of the others :/ Oh i've only just realised this. Why are they such cretins?
September 6, 20242 yr I think my enthusiasm for this Coldplay single peaked with its live Glastonbury debut but delighted that Little Simz has a top 40 single to her name now *.* edit: oh wait they didn't credit her? Rude -_- Re. the Billie discussion, 'WILDFLOWER' is good but not even close to being my favourite on the album, which is more of a testament to the strength of the album. 1000% agree with that one. Why was that not the #1 answer song British public? IKR? That Enya 'Boadicea' sample always hits. So "Stick Season" had the honour of being my 10,000th post! Congrats :cheer:
September 6, 20242 yr we pray omg :cheeseblock: coldplay's best song in years i am completely obsessed with it! hope it can grow to become a proper hit but i wont get my hopes up lol
September 6, 20242 yr 30 | 31 | 44th week Teddy Swims Lose Control 2nd single from I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) Released: 15th September 2023 Label: SWIMS Chart Statistics NE (16/11/2023) | 95-96-60-53-66-59-49-81-14-6-5-6-3-3-4-3-2-3-5-4-2-3-4-4-8-7-8-17-20-19-21-24-24-27-27-30-31-27-29-28-26-30-31-30 Sales: 1,400k+ Certification: 2x Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 01 Sales 03 Audio Streaming 03 Video Streaming Video FkOpwodhROI Biography Singer-songwriter Teddy Swims found himself on the path towards self-forgiveness when he started putting pen to paper for his debut studio album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). Though he’s released music and toured the world since making his debut in 2019, the 31-year-old Georgia-born artist has spent much of the last four years writing his way towards an album that would tell this story – his story – to the people who were ready to receive it. An emotionally walloping and deeply resonant body of work to be released in multiple parts – much like Teddy’s own journey of self-discovery – I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) is an album about diving headfirst into healing without any floatation devices. It finds Teddy working out some very big, very real issues through his music. “Now I’m watching people connect with the messages and stories and realizing not only are the songs helping me, but they’re also helping them too,” he says. “It feels like all that work on the back end, all that internalizing, is finally making a difference. [..] My debut album is an honest look into my mental health journey. I believe therapy could really be beneficial to myself and anyone willing to take the steps to heal. But, for some reason I still have something holding me back. I know there are answers to the questions I’m not ready to ask myself. This album is my first step towards being vulnerable about this journey and the steps I need to take to heal." - Spotify Top 100 Chart History 2022 89 Better (MK & BURNS feat.

September 6, 20242 yr Author Oh i've only just realised this. Why are they such cretins? It's not the OCC's decision, just like all of the credits...! btw Julian you're smashing it, thank you so much!!! just checking in between the ceremony and reception x
September 6, 20242 yr really really really wish something like triple-ACR existed and was applied to this one :D
September 6, 20242 yr Would be nice for PPC to be in but probably it's chance has gone now. Still love 'Red Wine Supernova' of course Pink Pony Club is higher on both Spotify and Apple but much lower on Amazon. They’ve been neck and neck in the weekly streaming charts recently. I mentioned this on another thread but PPC was released as a single around 4 years ago (it predated the album by a couple of years) - so even though it has never charted might not count for SCR (I’m a bit vague on the rules).
September 6, 20242 yr a lot of time when there is a very long list of artists the OCC just don't credit them basically cos there's no space in their website to write the full thing :D that's a fact :D nothing to do with labels or requests or anything :D
September 6, 20242 yr The 1989 chart run of Like A Prayer, a massive selling, incredibly enduring hit from one of the biggest stars of the day really puts into perspective how daft the chart runs of todays biggest hits look.
September 6, 20242 yr LOVING that 'Like a Prayer' is still hanging about in the top 40, stunning track x
September 6, 20242 yr Author a lot of time when there is a very long list of artists the OCC just don't credit them basically cos there's no space in their website to write the full thing :D that's a fact :D nothing to do with labels or requests or anything :D I mean, you've come to this conclusion yourself so no, it's not really a fact...! I assume the labels have a limited amount of characters for their credits and they decide whose names get left off. It's annoying but the credits are all decided by labels, it's not suddenly different just because you've decided that's the case.
September 6, 20242 yr 29 | 28 | 24th week Hozier Too Sweet 5th single from Unreal Unearth: Unheard Released: 22nd March 2024 Label: Rubyworks Chart Statistics NE (04/04/2024) | 8-4-1-1-2-3-2-5-4-14-15-15-16-18-19-13-19-15-19-19-20-27-28-29 Sales: 1,000k+ Certification: Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 03 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 07 Video Streaming Video NTpbbQUBbuo Biography Born in 1990 in the small Irish town of Bray, Andrew John Hozier-Byrne—better known as Hozier—was first heard in the company of others, contributing his preternaturally powerful voice to Ireland’s renowned Trinity Orchestra and the choral troupe Anúna. But where those early pursuits immersed him in his country’s rich musical traditions, his first single as a solo artist took aim at its most formidable institution. Few debut tracks come out swinging as hard as “Take Me to Church,” a doomy anti-gospel sermon that set its crosshairs on the hectoring and hypocrisies of the Catholic Church, delivered in a commanding, corrupted-choir-boy voice imbued with equal doses of grace and grit. That striking single topped charts around the world and scored Hozier a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year, but the self-titled debut album it introduced also showcased a singer-songwriter with a deft command of sweet soulful rockers (“Someone New”) and dreamy folk reveries (“Like Real People Do”). The dichotomy between rage and romanticism would only become more pronounced on 2019’s Wasteland Baby!, where some of Hozier’s prettiest performances to date (like the delicate finger-picked hymn “Shrike”) rub up against the righteous fury of “Nina Cried Power,” a spirited, Mavis Staples-assisted protest anthem that takes Hozier back to church to further rattle the steeple. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2014 02 Take Me To Church -1- MILLIONAIRE 2015 19 Someone New -3- 2015 69 From Eden -2/4- 2018 87 Nina Cried Power (feat.

September 6, 20242 yr It's not the OCC's decision, just like all of the credits...! It's not a remix though. Is there even a version out there that is solo Coldplay and doesn't credit the other artists?
September 6, 20242 yr The 1989 chart run of Like A Prayer, a massive selling, incredibly enduring hit from one of the biggest stars of the day really puts into perspective how daft the chart runs of todays biggest hits look. This. I was at the height of my Madonna Stan-dom at the time and I don't remember it being out of the ordinary... but 3 weeks No.1 out of only 9 Top 40!!!!
