Did not see this happening...

This has been a post I have been meaning to write since July, and a mere 6 months later - I'm finally doing it. In my opinion this track has received some unprecedented phenomenal success. Back whilst it was hovering around #24 on US itunes my source of all US chart geekyness POP! tipped this for the top. Hence my surprise when it topped the chart here several months later. Matt Cardle's X Factor performance of the track a month later saw it reach weekly sales of over 100k and became the only track of the year to reach the summit twice. With 6 weeks of incredible sales there's no wonder this was our 3rd biggest selling single of the year. Plus with its current tally just above 800k this will no doubt clear the million mark in the next couple of years.
With a thumping bass drum resounding like a beating heart, Bruno proceeds to flatter the girl with plenty of words of woe. However there's always a danger of tracks like that this, that you can begin to associate them with your partner/crush. Then you tread a fine line as to whether the track ultimately reminds you of tarnished or treasured memories. Fortunately that hasn't happened for me (yet) and the track has established itself as a pop classic.
