Official UK Top
100 Singles Chart (Week Ending 27
April 2017)
21 April 2017 - 27 April 2017
One Direction star Harry Styles introductory solo single “Sign Of The Times”, which
opened atop the list last week, slipped to No.4
with sales off 45.17% week-on-week at 34,485, making it the fastest fading song
in the entire Top 200. Although it may rebound next week, and will certainly
slow its descent after Styles performed it on The Graham Norton Show (Friday 21st), it is the first chart-topper
to be disposed off this quickly since Styles' former bandmate Zayn Malik's
first solo single Pillow Talk slipped 1-2 in February 2016. However, Sign Of The Times remained top of the paid-for sales list - but its tally of
just 16,686 such sales is the lowest for a
No.1 on this list since such data was first collected by chart compilers
BMRB in 1969. It replaced the previous low of 17,694 sales recorded by Orson's
No Tomorrow when it climbed 2-1 on the chart dated 26 March 2006. By the way,
when I mentioned last week that One Direction were the second band, after The
Beatles, to have four or more members with Top 10 solo hits I left out the
vital word male. All five Spice Girls, of course, made the Top 10 after
launching solo careers.
Replacing Styles was Ed Sheeran, whose “Shape Of
You” rebounded 2-1 (48,770
sales, including 38,256 from streams + 10,514 in
download sales) to secure its 14th week at No.1.

Divide racked up its seventh straight week atop
the album chart for Ed Sheeran. Sales
of Divide last week, at 62,108 (including 19,941 from streams), were still
beyond the reach of challengers, of which the latest was DAMN, the fourth
studio album from 29-year-old Californian rapper Kendrick Lamar. Released thus far only digitally, Damn debuted at
No.2 while setting a new personal best sale (31,543) for Lamar, with 10,318
of its sales coming from paid-for downloads, the remainder (21,225) from
streaming, on which metric it becomes the first album to topple Divide.
American singer/songwriter John Mayer
was back from his sabbatical but in lower orbit with seventh album, The
Search For Everything made a debut at No.16
(4,360 sales) and topped the Official UK

ABOUT
JACK + ELLA met when they were 16 at an open mic
competition that their dads had taken them to. Years later, in May 2016, they
re-connected after recognizing their musical and personality similarities via
the magical world of social media! They realized
very quickly that their writing and playing styles complimented each other too
well for them to keep pursuing their music as solo artists - and so their
official partnership was formed!
The duo's first single Hometown (>> Video) dropped 3rd April, with the EP Ready
following on 17th April. Musicians wise, they have a band, all guitars are the
two of them. Ella's father offers some BVs on "Hometown".
Their sound would appeal to fans of young US acts like
Temecula Road and Bailey Bryan who played the C2C 2017 Festival. A 12-30s
audience.

Crow - Be Myself (Wylie Songs/Warner Bros.)
Every day is a winding road, and no one knows that
better than Sheryl Crow. After a few diversions into Memphis soul and modified
country, along with personal upheavals both good (adopting two sons, beating
cancer) and otherwise (what seems to be a recent nasty breakup), Crow is back
to what she does best; cranking out melodic and emotionally vivid folk/pop/rock
- American Songwriter.
(Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars)
BE MYSELF, is Sheryl Crow's ninth studio album. For
this album, Crow worked again with producer, musician, and songwriter Jeff
Trott, a long-time collaborator throughout her career. Trott co-wrote many of
Crow's classic hits including "If It Makes You Happy" and "My
Favorite Mistake." Crow says her main goal was "to investigate what
made my early songs strike people as being authentic and original. So for the
first time in my life, I made it a point to sit down and really listen to my
old records. I'd drive my kids to school and play the old stuff as I came back
home. That helped me remember what it felt like when I was just beginning as an
artist. But it wasn't about repeating myself. It was about revisiting where I
came from and seeing where that would take me now."

Country Duo Petric Announce New Single “Play It Safe”, Available Everywhere Now
(17 April 2017) NEW
MUSIC Dan Washburn - "We Were Almost Love"
He had success at radio with his first 5 releases to
Canada and Europe before signing on with award winning band "South
Mountain". Dan became their lead singer/bassist and spokesperson in the
90's. They soon after signed to Stony Plain Records; distributed world-wide by
Warner Brothers. The band toured Canada and Europe extensively and were in high
demand. They had a successful album "Where There's A Will" offering
four chart successes. Dan has hosted two television shows for Cogeco Canada;
most recently on 2015's special highlighting Canadian up & coming talent.
He is a much sought after co-writer and producer. 2016 saw Dan make a CD (A
Million Miles or So) of originals, with a 2nd album well under way. This new CD
includes co-writing with some of Nashville's greats! Three songs were recorded
in Nashville with some "A" session players @ Hilltop Studios with the
first release to radio in August 2016 called "Miles On a Rockin' Chair". "We Were Almost Love" is the 2nd release from this session.
We Were Almost Love: Dan Washburn's soulful voice
captures the raw emotion of a difficult life decision - a break up where no one
is to blame, where decisions and directions have just pulled you apart and you
sometimes wonder "what if." The heartache comes through loud and clear
in this song co-written with award winning writer Kim Tribble (Shania Twain, Collin Raye, David Lee Murphy, Jason
Aldean, etc..). Add the poignant backup vocals of Templeton Thompson and the
heart-rending guitar solo of session leader Chris Luezinger (Garth Brooks)
combined with an all-star cast of Nashville session musician s and you have a
powerful track.

that he and his wife of two years, Morgan, even renewed their vows -- with a

capture the vibrant contrast of red rock against the blue sky. We moved from
