This chart ends up rather quieter than\u00a0the midweeks seemed to promise. \u00a0Outside the top 40, it’s worth noting “Home” by Leah McFall featuring will.i.am<\/a>, in which the overpunctuated producer\u00a0nobly attempts to help launch the career of one of the acts he mentored during the last season of\u00a0The Voice<\/em> (and who he plainly thought should have won). \u00a0Remarkably,\u00a0Radio 1 hasn’t supported the record even though the BBC1 show could use all the help it can get. \u00a0But to be fair, whatever airplay it got on\u00a0independent radio hasn’t done it much good either. \u00a0Result: number 56. \u00a0That’s astonishing for a record which really isn’t bad, which was on a major label, and which was promoted by will.i.am. \u00a0It\u00a0tends to suggest that The Voice UK<\/em> is now an outright toxic brand in terms of mainstream pop music.<\/p>\n
