Well, forever is a long time so of course there will be! But they will continue to be rare

Oh I think they do, they just appreciated that the song was getting too big to ignore. There's no excuse for not A-listing it. It smacks of what they used to do in the 2000s when a song they didn't like was unexpectedly top 3 in the midweeks and they'd panic-add it to the C-list.

New one from Xenomania's Paige Cavell is out today too https://open.spotify.com/album/5oEuYM2E5scJzXTGQuPbZy

Wow, never thought I'd see Jenifer on iTunes UK!

Has Jack Savoretti been on any TV shows or anything? I know sales are low enough that it could just be Radio 2 airplay but this one is doing much better than his last few singles

Dalton Harris' next single is called "Cry" according to this interview https://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/2019/08/...ummer-19-issue/ Should be out soon as he's mentioned photo shoots and videos on his Twitter. He sang it on the X Factor tour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcmlqfcNl14

Ace Of Base - Gold out October 11th on CD and vinyl - UK release https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XB75LK2/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XGBKXLH/

This is showing as a bubbler on Kworb, wonder how far it can go Connie Talbot - Never Give Up on Us

Agree, it sounds like it ought to be a hit

Really good song by James Blunt

He had a few top 20 hits and was nominated for a Brit in 1998. Has been mostly writing for others since then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conner_Reeves

No need to be mean. It's his first release in 12 years. Not expecting to be a hit but some people might be interested..

She's released several albums in Australia since then... though she has been away for some years now. She released her comeback single Heavy Lies The Head earlier this year. Actually her last album got a full UK physical release too, but it did nothing sadly

New single from Vanessa Amorosi out September 6 called "Hello Me" Album "Back To Love" out before Christmas https://www.auspop.com.au/2019/08/hello-van...gH4jUXwBpYc2tdM

Conner Reeves has released a new single today called Love Lead Me On https://open.spotify.com/album/2T0y2dYA6ixEjfeDTY0zKB#_=_

Conner Reeves has also released a new single today called Love Lead Me On https://open.spotify.com/album/2T0y2dYA6ixEjfeDTY0zKB#_=_

It was also on the CD single of Back In My Life

Though it's only recently been added to Kiss, so might still have a small chance?

It was the other way round. The short cut on the cassette was the one they played on the radio. Now 43 featured the longer version which was in the video. The video in the OP is the U.S. video. Here's the UK one. lHjNmyzrVvM What a record. Also really enjoyed David Guetta's Play Hard which heavily sampled it.

It is their #2 most streamed anyway https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/t...d-songs__26794/ Another thing that might have given Here Comes The Sun a boost was that it wasn't on their 3 million selling compilation "1".

I didn't realise until I was playing the Yesterday soundtrack the other day and my little niece knew Here Comes The Sun, that it's been featured in a couple of big kids movies in recent years apparently. Must have something to do with it.

Whilst I completely agree that Heart's playlist is boring and predictable, that is why they are so successful. Most people who listen to Heart are not real music fans like us, happy to hear new songs. If they hear two songs in a row they either don't know or don't like they're going to switch stations. Remember every song is "tested" regularly with a panel of listeners. A song could be a really big hit but if say, 25% of their listeners say they don't know or don't like a song, it's not getting played. That's why you end up with very safe big hits that everyone knows and likes. Difficult to defend waiting 9 months to playlist Ava Max though.

I think you just needed to do two separate threads ;)

I'd love it to be Kygo but I feel it's moving too slowly on Spotify to get there.

Celine Dion springs to mind too - she was best known in UK for Think Twice, which bombed in the U.S... but of course then came My Heart Will Go On.
