Countdown’s and Charts Worldwide {Well Australia and UK}

So on my Countdown this week there was one EPIC re entry and a killer new entry from Frank Ocean and Rufus respectively. I couldn’t share the audio cause Google blog thing was being random and poo basically but it’s all fixed so let’s take a listen collectively together now:

 Rufus – Take Me

 

 Frank Ocean – Lost

 

Also on the countdown this week Rudimental continued their assault on the pre album promotion train. Their debut is about to drop and after “Feel the Love”, “Not Giving In” and “Hell Could Freeze” to say this album is anticipated by the drum and base community is an understatement.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis continue to just smash it with 30% of the top 10 belonging to them, KILLER! Now over to the UK and they have such great taste there, Duke Dumont’s killer single “Need U” featuring A-M-E has rocketed to the top @ #1, mega debut, mega good feeling song, it’s on a huge rotation on my IPOD at present. Elsewhere the Disclosure/AlunaGeorge collaboration continues to make more than just some “White Noise” @ number 14, while AlunaGeorge on their own single “Attracting Flies” has a nice debut @ Number 51. My Saturday Soundtrack kids Haim move up a bundle of spots to #30 with their latest anthem “Falling”, I seriously can’t get that song outta my head, Duke Dumont has also done a rather tidy remix of that tune too.

Aussie lady Iggy Azalea is making waves with her single “Work” pre Movement festival, I personally think her name is too similar to Azealia Banks but whatever. So yeah it’s all happening over in the UK and I pretty much predict that unfortunately with the rise of the Voice (2 million viewers last night) on Australian TV again it looks like they will be set to get their dodgy singles back in the Australian charts, sad face. And after having a quick peek on iTunes my fears have been confirmed.

Oh Australia why can't we take lead from our mother land and be more like the UK adapting to cool new music, not shitty covers. I give up.
