No one mentioned the Canadian singer Kiesza yet?
She just went straight to no.1 in the UK with her 90s house style song 'Hideaway' and its the third fastest selling single of 2014:

This is her cover of Haddaway's 'What Is Love'

I'm glad you posted the song! It took me a while to warm up to it, but I really like it now. Btw, I added it earlier today to Dr. Malik's Spotify playlist, reposting for those interested:
This is the POPGAF Spotify playlist (click the banner). It is a collaborative playlist so you are able to add your own music to the mix.
This is to discover new music faster, easily be able to grab it and add it to your own playlist.
- Do not add music that is more than 6 months old
- Do not add full albums just the good tracks...
Let me know if it doesnt work and please contribute. Enjoy!

Canadian? Frm he glow of her skin I would have put money on her being Irish
Honestly the UK chart has been taken over by hews and whats recently. It's quite refreshing actually
Mr Probz - Waves is the current number one
Sigma - Nobody to Love hit number one a few weeks ago, which makes me absolutely Kiiiii considering its just a Kanye song thats had all Kanye's bits removed
Dj Cassidy - Calling All Hearts came in at #5 this week which has turned Jessie J and Robin Thicke into a spice girls esque bop
Then we have Cash Cash - Take Me Home, Shift K3y's Touch which peaked at #3 and Indiana - Solo Dancing is set to debut quite high this week too.
Honestly the UK music scene is far more exciting than anywhere else in the world imo. They're all good-great songs. Even the Robin Thicke track is decent

It's not so much that, it's just that I've felt her performances thus far have been.....off. I don't know how to explain it. It's just weird. She seems to fall short of the expectations she set for all her BTW and TFM era performances.
If I had paid for shit seats, I would still be "nervous". Gaga's touring and performances have been the things that really put her as one of my top faves, really. I mean I hated most of what Gaga did and sang before I saw her live at The Monster Ball - where a friend just dragged me to it and I tagged along
with bad intentions
So basically, the magic and the charm that brought me to Gaga is in danger of fading - I am just not feeling it from her.
Actually, as a side note - I realised today that Gaga did her best when she was surrounded but fantastically creative people. Troy Carter, Ruth Hogben, Nick Knight, Matt Williams, Nicola Formichetti and, dare I say it, Laurie-Anne Gibson. I worry that she is just removing all those people from the equation in an effort t surround herself with yes men, but I'm diverting....
Basically I enjoy the music from ARTPOP, but like the music from Born This Way, an absolutely stellar treatment for those songs will cement my love for Gaga and what she does yet again. I need her to do for ARTPOP what she did for me with Born This Way as an album. That absolutely AMAZING performance of Highway Unicorn was perfect - it had a grand scale, a killer arrangement and a over the top showmanship to it. I just hope she has the budget to do more like that again.
It's also why I'm making an effort to attend more live acts this year than I ever have before. Last year I only saw Rihanna, Aqua, Kimbra, Azealia and AlunaGeorge. This year I've already lined up JT, Kanye, Ellie, Kimbra, Janelle Monae and Gaga. Tempted to go for Katy but she's too expensive for music that I don't really like.

Wait, Solo Dancing is charting well? Slay!

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
OMG I know, right?
Now I just need Lana Del Ray to disappear and Artpop 2.0/Gaga's Ressurection for my own personal "wholeness". OH and Madonna's new album.
Amazing, isn't it? I'm really glad to see that, the song is fantastic.
It truly is. Wanna dance to it tbh.
Vazduhsus you da best
Thank you SaintZsus

Yup UK has been killing it. These are some of the top songs on Hypem and that's how I got hip to them. The song that is doing the most to me is definitely the Shift K3Y - Touch song. Omg!
The Oxford Remix of that song though? Righteous Tbh. So smooth, so hip, just total bop.

Are you ready?
secretly nervous as fuck though
M expectations couldnt be any lower
12 days till I find out whether I should purchase a ticket
Ri-Ri isn’t scared of Katy Perry’s roaring
Queen B’s going back to the drawing
Lorde smells blood, yeah, she’s about to slay you

We’re all watching Gaga, L-O-L-O, haha
Dying for the art, so really she’s a martyr

It sounds even better live. I wonder if ULTRAVIOLENCE will be more rock based, since she seemed to perform it better than some of the more produced-sounding tracks from BTD.

No joke, all those songs are essentially my go to playlist at the moment. Add in a little Clean Bandit which was also huge (and will probably be huge here as well) and like Disclosure, Rudimental, AlunaGeorge from last year.
I think in my mind, I like to pretend the US charts don't exist. UK charts are the only thing that matter.
It is kinda interesting though, how the tastes have sorta shifted again. UK seems to be adapting a love of all things 90's dance while here, we're kinda adapting a love of late 90's/early 00's R&B
I posted about The Pierces the other day and now the sisters made a cover of Lorde's Team. It sounds pretty good tbh.

I thought someone said West Coast was 6?

There was NEVER any chance of that...
It's #6 in sales.
I wasn't expecting a Top 10 tbh but I still want to see where it landed :duca:

Thanks!
My guess is around #20.

Confession time: that fucking Rita Ora song is growing on me.
I don't know how to feel about that. Pray for me, sistren.
You added Pseudologia Fantastica and that Juce song *.* I like you.
I also added one of my recent faves: Galantis - You
This is really good, I like the cover! Those harmonies are nice.

They've put two versions of West Coast on iTunes
One's the radio edit: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/west-coast-single/id868214800
A damn mess.

She can start by allowing me to send her coins on iTunes
The one I got last week is 4:15, what's the 4:16 one?

Your spirit has a ways to go. Less and less people give a shit about her singles because they've already bought her album.
Trying to split hairs and set goal posts doesn't change the fact that Beyonce's in her own league. Two flop singles out of three means shit when you're Beyonce. People still adore her and will pay out their assholes to see her on tour. BEYONCE is still probably her most successful era, with or without radio.
One's the original and the other is probably an extended version of this radio edit (where they made her vocals clearer)
I'm not sure tho. >_>
Well Adele's album sold BECAUSE of her singles. Beyoncé is trying to make singles happen when everyone has the album.
That's not my point tho. Adele is obviously an anomaly and a powerhouse because she shipped a ton of albums and had all those #1s, but selling a ton of albums alone is a big achievement; way bigger than just getting a #1.
erm YES.
So sistren, what was your first physical CD that you bought? The earliest I can remember was Spice.

I believe it was either ...Baby One More Time or Millenium by BSB.
But I remember buying a Mariah album? I never listened to it though, that much I know for certain.

Celebrity Deathmatch. A mess.
The one after that was Limp bizkit's second album. After that either Let Go or Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory.

I really like Iggy's album. The final nail in Azealia's coffin. Mark it, the day has come. The battle has been won.
