Chris Brown - Beautiful People
Inna - The Sun Is Up
David Guetta - Little Bad Girl
LMFAO - Champagne Showers
Bruno Mars - Marry You
Lana Del Rey - Video Games (took so long for this to finally catch on to me)
So continuing the thing from my 2010 YEC, here's my weekly faves in the UK singles chart from this year that were disqualified from charting until Nov. I started re-following the charts I think around June but I do have vague memories of Party Rock Anthem and Give Me Everything being #1.
the ones I'm sad I missed out on:
Jessie J - Do It Like A Dude
Chase & Status - Blind Faith
Nero - Me And You
Tinie Tempah - Wonderman
Nero - Guilt
May / June - ish
Inna - The Sun Is Up
The Saturdays - Notorious
19/6
Example - Changed The Way You Kiss Me
Calvin Harris feat. Kelis - Bounce
I did not care for The A Team at the time..
26/6
Vato Gonzalez - Badman Riddim thingy
10/7
DJ Fresh - Louder (hated this and dubstep at first but it grew on me massively later)
Loick Essien - How We Roll
17/7
The Wanted - Glad You Came
24/7
Rizzle Kicks - Down With The Trumpets
31/7
JLS - She Makes Me Wanna
7/8
Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger (I think I did like it at one point)
14/8
Nero - Promises
21/8
Wretch 32 - Don't Go
Emeli Sande - Heaven
Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now
28/8
Olly Murs - Heart Skips A Beat
Calvin Harris - Feel So Close
obviously. I knew both songs before they were released but I'm unsure for how long..
4/9
Example - Stay Awake
Ed Sheeran - You Need Me I Don't Need You
11/9
Pixie Lott - All About Tonight
The Saturdays - All Fired Up
Leona Lewis - Collide
all 3 intrigued me
18/9
One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful
25/9
I think I tried to force myself to like No Regrets even though I found it pretty bad. Nothing else of note here
2/10
Sak Noel - Loca People. It amused me.
9/10
-
16/10
-
23/10
The Wanted - Lightning
Ed Sheeran - Lego House
Example - Natural Disaster
30/10
I wanted Earthquake to beat Reall About It so badly. I kinda liked RAAI at the time but it's like meh whatever now.
Labrinth - Earthquake. Knew this one before release too.
Rizzle Kicks - When I Was A Youngster
6/11
Cher Lloyd - With Ur Love
13/11
Pixie Lott - What Do You Take Me For
20/11
