I really like this too. But I still love "Desire" and I won't be getting over that any time soon... ;_;

Quite simplistic late 90's/early 00's mainstream dance beat... but that chorus is killer. I like this.

This is good, but I think I prefer "Desire" a bit more.

This is freaking good. Checked "Real" and "Take Shelter" as well, I will very likely give their album a spin this week.

This is really good, but it needed a stronger chorus. As of now I prefer "Desire" and "Take Shelter".

It took them forever to add it to iTunes in the US, but I've been playing the music video since it came out. Really great video that fits the lyrics and is cool. I want this to be #1 on CHR/POP.

"King" wasn't available anywhere before, but the standalone release was brought forward in some European countries after it was out in the US and Canada on their EP Y & Y. I want this to be #1 on CHR/POP. I also want the same, but looks like they are going to push "Desire" instead.

Almost two weeks before its official release in the UK and it's currently inside the Top 100 on the UK iTunes. This is going to be huge there and I think its only threat to debut atop will be "Love Me Like You Do", which is going to be benefitted by streaming.

Early Tuesday update in the UK and, as expected, "King" is currently atop there.
From BuzzJack Music Forum: 1 Years & Years - King (42.7k) * 2 Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do (21.3k) 3 Marlon Roudette - When The Beat Drops Out (19.5k) * 4 Rihanna, Kanye West & Paul McCartney - FourFiveSeconds (15.1k) 5 Hozier - Take Me To Church (14.9k)

From the Official Charts: Midweek update in the UK and the gap between "King" and "Love Me Like You Do" has increased.

And it officially happened. "King" debuts atop in the UK, making Years & Years to have their third overall Top 40 and first ever #1 there! #1. "King" #7. "Sunlight" (The Magician featuring Years & Years)#22. "Desire" From the Official Charts: Olly Alexander said the following to them: "I don't think any of us thought we'd be Number 1. No one told us it would be Number 1. They said it wouldn't get to Number 1, but it did!"

Anyone else think they might decide to push this as their attempt at Stateside-breakthrough, given its #1 UK bow? I've had the feeling that they were ultimately waiting to see how this would fare upon UK release before moving either one forward. In addition...I also can't help but think that if they were absolutely going to push "Desire", no questions asked, then that would've at least had an adds date by now.

Late to the party, but i'm loving this. Olly's vocal is so good, and the production is unique but sick!

In addition...I also can't help but think that if they were absolutely going to push "Desire", no questions asked, then that would've at least had an adds date by now. I was thinking the same to be honest and I agree that the reason why Interscope didn't push "Desire" before in the US was because they were waiting to see how this will perform in the UK, despite it was mentioned earlier on the AllAccess iHeart Music Summit article as an upcoming release. Anyway, do you remember when I also said that "Desire" was listed on the Top 40 playlist from PlayIGA? Well, both "Desire" and "King" are listed now on that playlist, so I guess they might go with this instead in the US before their debut album comes out mid-year. As a consequence, a new single from them will be out as well to promote it, but I think it will be an international release though.
