May 24, 200916 yr Author 19 Paolo Nutini - Candy [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/ATUK087CD.JPG Chart Run: 19 [1 wks] Release date: 18-5-2009 Format: CDS Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: ATUK087CD Label: ATLANTIC There was no shortage of new acoustic singer-songwriters emerging from the U.K. in the mid 2000s. However, Scottish teenager Paolo Nutini had a slightly different take on things, bearing the marked influence of Marvin Gaye and Wilson Pickett as well as some usual suspects like David Gray and Damien Rice. Nutini's debut full-length, THESE STREETS, showcased his surprisingly gritty vocals to great effect as well as the undeniably catchy and commercial aspects of his songwriting. - HMV Video here: Chart history (Year peak title): 2006 05 Last Request 2006 20 Jenny Don't Be Hasty 2006 27 Rewind 2007 21 New Shoes 2009 19 Candy Discussion Thread Here
May 24, 200916 yr Author Paulo Nutini has to be the most pointless waste of space ever... hopefully his album will suffer the "sophmore slump". First time I hear this song and it's dreadful
May 24, 200916 yr Is this honestly the best he could come up with for his comeback? Sounds like a bland album filler to me. :/
May 24, 200916 yr I really don't like Candy. His voice just makes me feel really sorry for him, especially as he's the same guy who sang New Shoes. What has happened to him? :( He sounds like Bob Dylan - the drunk 70yo one of today, rather than the young(ish) decent one from the 60s :lol:
May 24, 200916 yr :o They said 1 new entry between 20 and 11, is this it? Yep, Alexander is the next highest and he's top 10. I don't see one remotely likeable quality about this song, it's just pure awfulness.
May 24, 200916 yr dont like this OFF TOPIC Whoop Murray 3*-1 Chela That was a bit scary then, losing his first service game :S.
May 24, 200916 yr Yep, Alexander is the next highest and he's top 10. I don't see one remotely likeable quality about this song, it's just pure awfulness. I quite like it :P, there's certainly worst in the charts
May 24, 200916 yr Jenny Don't Be Hasty was a good song, but I thought that was by the Kooks for some reason :o You're right about the Bob Dylan thing as well, he sounds dreadful on his new album.
May 24, 200916 yr That was a bit scary then, losing his first service game :S. 4-1* now whoop Edited May 24, 200916 yr by Steve69
May 24, 200916 yr Author 18 (from 13) Alesha Dixon - Let's Get Excited [P] http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/ASYLUM10C1.JPG Chart Run: 48-37-25-13-18 [5 wks] Release date: 11-5-2009 Format: CDS Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: ASYLUM10C1 Label: ATLANTIC English singer Alesha Dixon got her start in the music industry as a member of the trio Mis-Teeq, with whom she released two popular albums before the group broke up. Dixon began her solo career with the singles "Lipstick" and "Knockdown," and a four-album contract with Asylum Records ensured her a foothold in the industry. Yet Dixon's real break came when she participated in the reality television programme STRICTLY COME DANCING in 2007, and was crowned winner. Her increased public profile helped boost singles from her 2008 album, THE ALESHA SHOW, into the top ten of the U.K. Top 40. - HMV Video here: Wg7UrjXwg1E track listing 1.

May 24, 200916 yr Oh dear. What a crap start to the Top 20. He won't beat 'Rewind' or 'New Shoes' IMO. Also he sounds very much like Leon Jackson... hopefully that's a sign as to where his career will end up in a couple of weeks/months :kink:
May 24, 200916 yr I really don't see why they had to use this radio edit of Alesha, it strips it of most of it's catchiness. :( Album version all the way.
May 24, 200916 yr The worst thing about Candy is that I would like it if it was sung by someone who doesn't have that voice. I can't get over how bad his voice has become. =| Alesha falling quickly =/
