Mr Probz climbs back up to No.1 with Waves, in the UK Top 100 Music Chart w/e May 17th 2014, and I expected a heavy dance track, which is what tends to top the charts these days, but it’s a surprising soulful slow track. Very recommended!

As such, Calvin Harris drops to No.2 with Summer, and it’s as bland as generic as they come. What on earth was the point of this record? It leaves no lasting impression on the mind whatsoever!

There’s only one new entry in the Top 10: Pitbull feat. G.R.L at No.6 with Wild Wild Love.

However, Gary Barlow‘s back in the Top 40 at No.22 with Let Me Go. Please buy it because he’s got a £25m tax bill to pay back(!)

And here’s The Common Linnets who performed Calm After The Storm for the Netherlands on Eurovision 2014:
