Insert creepface meme here.
Anyway. I'm off to Download Festival tomorrow. See you on Monday, and I expect an inbox brimming over with results when I get back. In the meantime, how's about another SONG WE ALMOST HAD TO RATE?
KANYE WEST - HEARTLESS
Kanye's well-represented here with two entries, so how's about we show him a smidgen more love with the second single from that there depressed Autotune-singing album? "Heartless" had the second-highest debut of any Kanye song, at #4 in November 2008, though it went in and out of the top 10 for two months before finally peaking at #2 behind "Crack A Bottle" in February 2009. After the #3 peak for "Love Lockdown", this made 808s and Heartbreak Kanye's only album to produce two top 5 hits. "Heartless" would go on to peak at #4 on the R&B and Pop 100 charts, #1 on the rap charts, and become Kanye's second song to sell 4 million downloads in the US, after "Stronger". Somehow, the cover version from that guy from season 8 of American Idol who wasn't Adam Lambert also reached #16 after he performed it on the show. Worldwide, its chart positions were a bit spotty: it barely made the top 10 in Canada and the UK, though it did get a #6 in New Zealand, and only made #40 in Australia. Oh well. At least Kanye managed a #2 in Turkey.
