I shamefully rather like Fireball and I do hope Radio 1 playlist it to keep Pitbull's streak of having every other song playlisted!

Not too surprised that Ugly Heart was added to Heart as it's actually fairing better on adult pop radio, as opposed to pop, over in America! But still, a great addition nonetheless!

Sticking to my vote of Passenger as I have done since Round 1!

Well, if this is anything to go by, it looks like Jessie J feat. 2 Chainz is actually going to happen. It is however helmed by Max Martin again so we should be in for a good chorus, but I'm a bit sceptical so far! She's releasing it just less than 2 months after Bang Bang however which seems a dud move considering it's just peaked and re-peaked in America and Australia respectively! 1. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang 1.0000 1.0000 2. Sigma - Changing (feat. Paloma Faith) 0.5543 0.6281 Big increase on Sigma, I wonder if Jessie & Co. could be in for 100k+ this week?

Yes! They were very guitar/piano-led with their early productions and then moved swiftly to synths. I think there's a third ~production pathway~ from them in the uptempo, more dance-pop-orientated, Party All Night (Sleep All Day), Let Me Love You (UYLTLY), Only Girl, S&M, Radioactive, Happiness etc. Letting Go (Dutty Love) and Got 2 Luv U are my favourites by them though! --- 22. Kid Ink - Body Language (feat. Usher & Tinashe). Tinashe coming for that top 100 entry :cry:, 2 On is one of my favourite songs, if not my favourite, this year and it's such an injustice it didn't take off here.

Stargate?! This sounds more like a Mustard production! Then again, Black Widow didn't sound like Stargate to me at first ("What's My Name?" remains the ~signature~ Stargate sound for me), I'm liking this song anyway!

Going by Lillywood & Robin Schulz, I'm wondering if this will even touch 100k first-week sales :( Great to see Jeremih there, hopefully he'll get some video play if a video ever appears! I wonder if he'll get any substantial airplay as he wasn't added to this week's Radio 1 playlist, it's just hit #1 on the Rhythmic format in America and is closing in on the top 20 of pop radio, hopefully that can translate over here [/wishful thinking]. This is my favourite DJ Mustard-helmed song (alongside 2 On), even if it does sound identical to TeeFLii's '24 Hours' and Jason Derulo's 'Kama Sutra'!

Google is your friend. A quick search for "blondie parallel lines" and then selecting the News tab shows that there was a BBC Four documentary about their time in New York and the making of the album.

Lil Wayne & Tyga) For some reason the instant grats on 'X' (except for the title track) have had all the credited writers made primary artists :lol: , never seen that happen before!

Fifth Harmony - BO$$ released on October 12th (sourced from iTunes). Also nice to see Thank You by MKTO on the schedule, far superior to Classic and hopefully this will get more airplay as well.

Don't get me started on that :( , it was lucky in America as it moved 14-7 the week before YouTube streams were included in the chart, then spent the next 8 weeks between numbers 12 to 14 as its streaming wasn't quite high enough to keep it top 10 despite its monstrous airplay :cry: "Maps", in my opinion, is somewhat underperforming in the USA given all the singles released from Overexposed went top 10 (just). Maps only debuted with 114k sold in its first week, which wasn't really that overwhelming; it's struggled for top 5 on the Hot 100 and is currently struggling for top 5 on Mainstream Top 40 - it's done okay on Adult Top 40 however. I don't think it will flop by any means in the UK on the other hand. "It Was Always You"'s verses remind me of Chris Brown's "Crawl", the vocal pattern in them is near identical! (I do really like the song though, I hope it genuinely is single #2) --- 7. Ed Sheeran - Don't 10. Iggy Azalea - Black Widow (feat. Rita Ora) 11. Sam Smith - I'm Not the Only One Nice to see some post-album singles actually denting the upper tier of the chart, especially as the latter two are relatively early into their proper airplay pushes :o

2. Taylor Swift - Shake It Off I'm so glad her label made it the first instant grat rather than a single pre-order with a stupid release date followed by more instant grats (they'll still probably happen). Hopefully it can debut in the top 5 this week!

I knew he produced all of those except Battlefield, but now that makes complete sense! I think I'm in the minority that really likes Love Runs Out, the bassline that comes in the start of the second verse and remains for the remainder of the song is so good :heart:

Oops at this having the same first two weeks as Make U Bounce, hopefully should hold up better than that as its iTunes position has actually been okay all this week.

That chord sequence change :wub: Still loving A Sky Full of Stars.

Sean ACTUAL Paul !!1! However, this song still remains as catchy as ever.
