UK Top 100 Music chart summary & my views w/e February 28th 2015

Ellie Goulding stays at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music Chart w/e February 28th 2015, with Love Me Like You Do, taken from the recent big cinema release, Fifty Shades of Grey, and it’s a drippy power ballad without any real power.

There are, surprisingly, NO new entries in the Top 10 this week, but David Guetta feat. Emeli Sandé climbs back up from No.71 to No.20 with “What I Did For Love“, after featuring in the end of Friday’s all-live episode of Eastenders where the disappointing nonsense about Lucy Beale’s killer was revealed.
