I didn't really like “Come Down To Us” but I loved “Rival Dealer” from that EP - the video that goes with it works really well too.
“212” is great but lost its appeal when it was revealed that Samantha Cameron loves it.

I'm sure Carly will manage #01 but I don't think it's going to be as comfortable as I first thought especially as it's not really making much progress in the top 100 on iTunes and is almost doing the exact same as 'Lips Are Moving' done regarding pre-orders. It's #88 and It really should at least be top 60 if it wants to be #01 as I can see 'See You Again' at least managing three weeks over 100,000 especially with streaming.
Maybe she should delay the release again, I mean.. it worked out for Omi didn't it?
Oh wait. :D

This has been getting some airplay on 6Music and I'm really enjoying it at the moment. It is taken from her new album Fast Food (released today) and “Fool” has a brooding Interpol sounding guitar riff that structures the song and runs all the way through it, whilst Nadine lilts her way through some pretty vitriolic and barbed lyrics.

I loved “Papillon” (which sounded very New Order-esque), and “You Don't Know Love” was ok (it peaked at No.29 on my weekly chart on 31st January 2010) but the rest of that album left me a bit cold I'm afraid and little by them has interested me since. : (
PJ Harvey is fantastic - “The Words That Maketh Murder” is my favourite single by her in the 2010s. It peaked at No. 2. “On Battleship Hill” is also pretty amazing, as is the whole album/concept behind it really.
Have never heard that Joanna Newsom track before, it's pretty good.
RITD is great pop single, spent 3 weeks at No. 1 for me in January 2011, agreed that “Chasing Pavements” was a pretty average lead single (peaked at No. 22 for me) . I have a 7" vinyl of her first ever single “Hometown Glory” (got to No. 8, released in Autumn 2007) which pressed only 500 copies, think it's worth about £50 these days!

My bad! I do really like “Mowgli's Road”, I agree that it sounds like something Kate Bush might've done at one point - she was on Neon Gold at the time (indie label: and the influence behind the lyric "Tonight I feel like neon gooooooooold on “Radioactive”), and so not many people were that aware of her at the time. -

Marina and the Diamonds - Mowgli's Road
A lunatic song, of course, with a video reminiscent of Supergrass's Pumping on the Stereo.
Yes, though it does match the song quite well I thought. Technically this single was released in 2009 by the way!! It charted in my Top 5 at the time, but I always preferred “Obsessions” and “Oh No!” as the killer singles.
Absolutely love “Not In Love”, it resonated so much with me in December 2010/January 2011 and reminds me of that time. It also does sound AMAZING in indie clubs.
Great start.

Just noticed that I've already heard a Major Lazer song before 'Lean On': they feature on 'Push and Shove' by No Doubt. :wub:
Yep it's just Diplo under another name, his most successful production is probably M.I.A.'s Paper Planes. Under that name though Major Lazer also charted in 2010 with “Pon De Floor” (#125) which Beyoncé went on to sample of course.

ugh come on Omi overtake plz. would be a shame for it to miss #1 now, but why couldn't the label wait one more week to 100% secure the #1 when it had already been pushed back for months? :???: assuming they knew Wiz would get released this week of courseBecause there was a fake version at No.6 and they were massively risking losing sales (already have lost quite a few to illegal downloads I'd assume).
It should have been released a month ago, and it would have been #1. Held back release massively back-firing. Steve201 will be pleased. :D
