Worst thing about Mackelmore is that he's only just taking off between my Uni friends despite me harping on about him for ages. Someone put on a 'new song' at pres and it was Thrift Shop - yeah, not like I played this months ago and got heckled for it.
I'd be prepared to say that I've heard Thrift shop on triple J at least 40 times. They flogged the shit out of it, especially nearer the albums release.
Was the 96th most played song on JJJ for 2012. Guess the DJs or whatever the radio presenters are called that I listen to didn't play it much
Yeah that's heaps, especially when you consider the album came out in September/October IIRC. So if thrift shop was the first single it was getting around in July at best.
Nah I just saw it in an article I read. They probably got it from somewhere though. Yeah but songs that come out in January kinda die out by May and get sporadic plays anyway. It'd have effected it but not majorly. Just found it. #1 Parachute Youth – Can’t Get Better Than This #2 Major Lazer – Get Free #3 Twinsy – Water Bombs #4 Skrillex – Bangarang (feat.
