K	It may be down to the style, it's got an unusual sound, a bit "dance" in some places and a bit 2-step in others. I seem to remember 2-step wasn't received well in the US, maybe that's it? They just don't "feel it"?
JK2006	Yes that's 101 on the Billboard hit singles chart - not exactly a success.
K	I'm not entirely sure how the US charts work but according to the Wiki page it was #1 on US Bubbling Under Hot 100 (Billboard) and #9 on US Dance/Electronic Songs (Billboard), whatever they are. Great chart places in most other countries although do you get the feeling Canada didn't quite get it?! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rather_Be_%28Clean_Bandit_song%29
JK2006	Rather Be is clearly the Record of the Year so far; it is SO well made. But I see it appears to have missed out in America. Can this be correct? If so - why? I know the entire music industry has gone into melt down but it's not brain surgery with a smash like this (or Get Lucky or Gangnam Style).
