Today I had a listen to the top 5 singles in the UK chart and these are my thoughts, in reverse order.
5. Passion Fruit by Drake
Unfortunately it made little impression one way or the other.
4 Sign of the Times by Harry Styles
started off dull but got a lot better towards the end. I found it way too long. I can see why he's popular but isn't really my type of music.
3. Galway Girl by Ed Sheeran
A great chorus ruined by the verses. I get the impression he's trying too hard to be clever.
2. Shape of You by Ed Sheeran
I thought this was ok, some good lines and I liked the humming. I wouldn't buy it and found it too long.
1. Clean Bandit by Symphony
Taylor Swift meets Of Monsters and Men. I bought the first album by Of Monsters and Men so why would I want a poor imitation.
Although I didn't find anything I liked this time I'd say it's a worthwhile way to find out what's popular.
