PumpedUpKicks

To quote myself from elsewhere on Buzzjack:

Wouldn't mind Bieber being beaten by The NHS Choir, raising awareness for the NHS is important right now with how the government are treating them. I'm sure Love Yourself can afford to step aside for the week and pull a Happy/Uptown Funk style chart run.

Well that's something I thought I'd never see.

I would be surprised that Love Me is up to #1 on the UK iTunes charts... but then I saw it was up to #2 on the US iTunes chart which shut me up quickly. It may be very shortlived but I'm very excited to see them this high. It's no Chocolate/Girls/Sex but Love Me is still a fine song.

Honestly I think climbing on Spotify's UK chart is more important nowadays than it is being on R1's playlist. Only last week a bunch of my friends heard PBJ for the first time because it started appearing highly on the most popular playlists, and that's the sort of build a song needs for a long chart run nowadays. Appearing on R1 gave the song its original push up the T100 but it's Spotify that will keep it there. Not to mention the fact that Felix Jaehn/Jasmine Thompson charted so highly off the back of Spotify alone despite R1 snubbing the tune. I'm not saying being playlisted on R1 is insignificant anymore, but being playlisted or not is no longer life or death for a song.

Honestly I'm hoping for a slow burn Top 3 that hangs around for ages, I doubt it will pull a Thinking Out Loud but who knows.

So it's looking like, once again, the highest selling X Factor performance is going to be a lazy carbon copy of someone else's interpretation of a song, with the contestant looking like the genius who came up with the cover. Last week we had a copy of Foxes cover of Happy/Teardrop, and now this week we have a copy of Sleeping At Last's cover of I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles). And people ask wonder why I hate the X Factor...

Hopefully Rude will get it, Crazy Stupid Love is dire. Dire. That trumpet(?) bit is the worst part of a shingle-inducing song.
