BBC Sound Of 2009 - mid year review
Here is a review of how the artists who were predicted to be big at the start of the year have fared so far (thanks to Wikipedia for a lot of this info!): 1 – Little Boots: Despite topping the Sound of 2009 poll, has had a somewhat disappointing year, with single New In Town only reaching #13 in June, and the album Hands plummeting after reaching #5. 2 – White Lies: Having already had a #52 single (Death) in 2008, White Lies scored their first top 40 hit in January with To Lose My Life (peaked at #34). The album of the same name reached #1 (but dropped down the chart relatively quickly). Follow-up single Farewell To The Fairground reached #33 in April (both songs curiously climbing 1 place in their 2nd week in the chart). 3 – Florence & The Machine: Having reached #51 with Kiss With A Fist in August 2008 and #89 in December 2008 with Dog Days Are Over, Florence & The Machine received the Critics’ Choice award at the 2009 Brit Awards but have yet to achieve a proper breakthrough, with download-only single You’ve Got The Love peaking at #159 in January. All that may change with the release on Monday 22nd June of the single Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up), and the album Lungs due out next month. 4 – Empire Of The Sun: Debut single Walking On A Dream reached the top 10 in their native Australia, as well as in Ireland and Belgium. It only peaked at #64 in the UK (due to I-Tunes giving it away for free initially). The album of the same name peaked at #19 in the UK (and #6 in Australia), and follow-up single We Are The People reached UK #14. 5 – La Roux: Having reached #133 in 2008 with introductory single Quicksand, La Roux broke through in March 2009 with In For The Kill, which entered at #11 but eventually reached #2 (spending 4 weeks there). Follow-up hit Bulletproof was released on Monday 22nd June, with the album La Roux due out on 29th June. 6 – Lady Gaga: Undoubtedly the star of 2009, Lady Gaga currently has the two biggest-selling singles of the year, with Just Dance and Poker Face both spending 3 weeks at #1, and both reaching #1 in many other countries. She has also reached #8 with Paparazzi. All three singles are from the album The Fame, which also reached #1. 7 – VV Brown: Yet to have any chart success, but album Travelling Like The Light is due for release in the next few weeks. 8 – Kid Cudi: Had a big hit at the start of the year with Day ‘N’ Nite (which reached #2). Follow-up Make Her Say is yet to chart. He also featured on Kevin Rudolf’s Welcome To The World (which reached #77). Album Man On The Moon: The End Of Day is due for release later in the summer. 9 – Passion Pit: Yet to have any singles chart success, but the album Manners peaked at #55. 10 – Dan Black: Yet to have any solo chart success. The ones that didn’t make it: Big Pink: Yet to have any success. Frankmusik: Having previously released 3 EP’s in 2007 and 2008, Frankmusik reached #26 with the single Better Off As Two in April. Master Shortie: Yet to have any chart success, but the album A.D.H.D. is due for release later in the summer. Mumford & Sons: Yet to have any chart success. Temper Trap: Yet to have any chart success, but the album Conditions is due for release later in the summer.
