Other new entries/re-entries

36. MAGIC! - Rude
38. Shakin' Stevens - Merry Christmas Everyone
39. Mr. Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix)

Finally listened to the Ben Haenow song. It's not too bad, but it sounds too identical to the OneRepublic original for me.

Quite like 'Heroes' by Alesso, even though it is quite generic sounding. And before certain members leap on this song, I'll just point out it is NOT a cover of the David Bowie original. It's a completely different song.

'These Days' by Take That is kinda growing on me actually.

I've only heard 2 out of the top 10, All About That Bass (which I think is rubbish) and Uptown Funk (Can't remember what I thought of it, I'd probably need to hear it again).

Also, Nice to see Shakin' Stevens in the top 40 with his Xmas song!

Oh god, 'All about that bass' was back in the top 10 last week and now it's climbing again

Love Heroes, glad it's charted fairly well but shame it couldn't be higher.

13. Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo - Rhymes
22. Maroon 5 - Sugar
30. Selena Gomez - The Heart Wants What It Wants
33. The Weeknd - Earned It

'Uptown Funk' has been number one for SEVEN WEEKS now which is the longest a song's been at the top of the charts since 'Bleeding Love' by Leona Lewis way back in 2007...

1 (1) Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
Bit bored of it now, but it's certainly made an impact on the charts. Looks set to be knocked off the top next week by Ellie Goulding though.

2 (3) Hozier - Take Me To Church
Quite haunting and sung well, but I don't know whether I like it or not...

3 (127) Fergie - L.A. Love (La La)
Awful.

4 (2) Meghan Trainor - Lips Are Movin
I like this! Fun and catchy, although it does sound similar to her last one...

5 (NE) Kanye West, Rihanna & Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds
Heard some of it, didn't like what I heard though.

6 (4) Philip George - Wish You Were Mine
Hate it. These squeaky voice songs died out a long, long time ago, please don't bring them back...

7 (NE) Karen Harding - Say Something
Not heard it.

8 (6) Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud
Very bored with this now.

9 (5) Olly Murs ft. Demi Lovato - Up
Quite like it. Their voices go well together

10 (8) Avicii - The Nights
Just another generic dance track.

Other new entries/re-entries:

13. Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo - Rhymes
Not heard it.

22. Maroon 5 - Sugar
Not heard this either.

30. Selena Gomez - The Heart Wants What It Wants
A bit too slow and boring. Preferred her upbeat songs

33. The Weeknd - Earned It
Not bad, but slightly boring.

Like L.A.Love. It gets a bit annoying after a while but it is a catchy song.

Not sure about FourFiveSeconds yet, it's very different for Rihanna.

Love Wish You Were Mine, even if it is a bit repetitive.

Don't know whether I like Say Something or not.

'Take me to church' is good but I'm not sure if I actually like it or not, the video is harrowing to watch though

'Lips are movin' is a guilty pleasure for me. Love it!

'Say Something' is a nice club track. But i only cared for it because Karen Harding shares her name with my aunty!

Still love 'Thinking Out Loud' but i think it's run it's course now

'The Nights' just sounds exactly the same as every other generic present-day EDM song, Meh

Haven't heard the rest and i'm not bothered TBH

This week's top 10, and finally a new number one:

1 (NE) Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do
2 (1) Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
3 (2) Hozier - Take Me To Church
4 (5) Kanye West, Rihanna & Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds
5 (4) Meghan Trainor - Lips Are Movin
6 (10) Avicii - The Nights
7 (8) Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud
8 (NE) Mike Mago & Dragonette - Outlines
9 (6) Philip George - Wish You Were Mine
10 (3) Fergie - L.A. Love (La La)

One other new entry in the top 40.

39. Kodaline - Honest

Really like the new number one, even though I'm not a huge fan of Ellie, it's quite a nice song.

Not too keen on 'Outlines' or 'Honest'.

Yeah I used to hate Ellie Goulding, both musically and looks wise; on both fronts she's impressed me though in the last year or so, with her features on I Need Your Love and Outside and this week's number one. She is growing on me it's fair to say.

Outlines is really catchy and one of my favourite tracks of the year so far.

Honest is alright; has a bit of a Coldplay feel to it.

Some brilliant songs have been released this weekend - Gravity by DJ Fresh ft. Ella Eyre, Ayo by Chris Brown & Tyga, Coming With You by Ne-Yo and Doing It by Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora are all in the Top 10 on iTunes and were my four purchases today. Gravity seems the most likely to top the chart if any so far; Doing It is my favourite of the four.

Heard Take Me To Church, FourFiveSeconds and Outlines on the radio yesterday. Wouldn't call myself a fan of any of them really! I actually turned the radio off during Take Me To Church because I hated it so much!

Take Me to Church by Hoser is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Alternative rock stations here in North America have been overplaying it ad nauseum.

I've not given a stuff about the top 10 chart since before I grew pupes.

Missed last week's top 10 again, apologies...

Here is this week's:

1 (1) Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do
2 (2) Hozier - Take Me To Church
3 (3) Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
4 (10) The Weeknd - Earned It (50 Shades Of Grey)
5 (5) Kanye West, Rihanna & Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds
6 (4) DJ Fresh ft. Ella Eyre - Gravity
7 (11) Maroon 5 - Sugar
8 (9) Avicii - The Nights
9 (8) Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora - Doing It
10 (7) Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud

Other new entries/re-entries:

17. LuvBug - Revive (Say Something)
20. David Guetta ft. Emeli Sande - What I Did For Love
36. Taylor Swift - Style
37. Florence + The Machine - What Kind Of Man

Not sure on Earned It yet.

Gravity is really catchy and Ella Eyre looks gorgeous in the video.

Sugar is growing on me.

Doing It is fabulously catchy and could not have a sexier female combination really.

Revive is alright but not amazing.

What I Did For Love is decent but far from Guetta's best.

Style is another brilliant single from Taylor Swift, as she continues to make me fall in love with her and her music ever more.

Hate Florence so I'm not even gonna comment on her song.

1 (1) Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do
Like it, tis a nice song.

2 (2) Hozier - Take Me To Church
Not a fan really, very overplayed as well.

3 (3) Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk
Run its course now. Sick of hearing it everywhere

4 (10) The Weeknd - Earned It (50 Shades Of Grey)
OK but goes on for a bit too long.

5 (5) Kanye West, Rihanna & Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds
Sounds a bit dull.

6 (4) DJ Fresh ft. Ella Eyre - Gravity
Like this.

7 (11) Maroon 5 - Sugar
Not heard it properly.

8 (9) Avicii - The Nights
OK but sounds like pretty much all his other songs...

9 (8) Charli XCX ft. Rita Ora - Doing It
Love it, another guilty pleasure of mine now all we need is an Iggy, Charli & Rita song and we'll have seen every collaboration possible between them...

10 (7) Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud
Just leave the top 10 already... hopefully now he's releasing a new song people will shift their attention from this one...

Other new entries/re-entries:

17. LuvBug - Revive (Say Something)
Not heard it properly, I liked 'Resonance' though.

20. David Guetta ft. Emeli Sande - What I Did For Love
Again, not heard it properly.

36. Taylor Swift - Style
Or this.

37. Florence + The Machine - What Kind Of Man
Heard some of it, didn't sound like their best though.
