Paolo Nutini - "Pencil Full of Lead"

[AFRO SAMURAI]

I've been waiting for Paolo to get a big hit off this album and I think this may be it.

I've loved this song from the time I first heard it, but it seemed like a fun novelty track and I never expected it to be a single. Well, it hit airwaves last week and debuted at #18 on the airplay chart this week in the UK.

Hoping he can hit top 10 with this one!

WTF is this? I love(d) Paolo, but this is beyond bad. I can't even listen past a minute of it.

This is doing well in airplay #12, but I don't expect a big chart hit because people are still snapping up the album. It was #5 last week and #9 this week. Kind of impressive for an album with no big hits on it.

Up to #17 in the UK this week, giving him his 4th Top 20 hit and his second highest showing behind his debut "Last Request" which reached #5.
