And if it's giving you vibes of TLC's 1999 hit No Scrubs, well, the song's writers were added to the track's credits two months after its release.Īnyway, Shape Of You was Number 1 for 13 weeks, Cheap Thrills spent four weeks at Number 2 and No Scrubs topped out at Number 3, so if the formula works, it works. Okay, how many times have you started prepping your best Sia impression only to realise it's Shape of You that's started up and not Cheap Thrills? 100? More? Us too.
Either way, Bruno Mars' Locked Out Of Heaven was a hit, spending three weeks at Number 2 in 2012. When asked about it, Bruno said he was a fan of the band but it wasn't intentional.
Roxanne, Don't Stand So Close To Me and even Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. We're sure a good clean-living, wholesome boy like Bruno doesn't have too many brushes with the law, but in this case one of his big hits, Locked Out Of Heaven, does sound quite like a couple of songs by British band the Police, who were, of course, led by Sting.

Well, doesn't it sound a little like Arcade Fire's Rebellion from 2005? Delta's song got some more attention in 2014 when a few people reckoned Kylie's Into The Blue sounded a bit like it. Darren Moore ApDelta Goodrem and Arcade Fire Is he Well, to my ears, the first vocal line on the latest Harry Styles single sounds very much like Hard to say I'm sorry by Chicago.

Kelly decided against a full release for Already Gone in the UK. Both from the bankable pen of OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, these two songs are great in their own way, but so similar they could stand in for one another at a party and nobody would notice. Two amazing pop voices and two equally brilliant songs – Kelly's Already Gone and Beyoncé's Halo aren't so much poppelgangers as your actual pop twins. Was Calvin Harris, who wrote Rita's 2014 Number 1 a secret Five fan? We bet Abs was his favourite.
Our close personal Twitter friend Lakaiya reckons Rita Ora's I Will Never Let You Down and Five's Keep On Movin’ sound very similar. Creep itself was once caught up in a legal battle over similarities to The Hollies’ 1972 hit The Air That I Breathe, resulting in writers Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood suing to receive co-writing credits and a percentage of the song’s royalties (are you keeping up?).Īccording to Lana, the lawsuit was eventually dropped, telling fans at a gig: "Now that my lawsuit’s over, I guess I can sing that song any time I want, right?"

Last year, Radiohead reportedly asked to be credited on Get Free from Lana's Lust For Life album because of its similarities to their song Creep. It's pretty undeniable, right? It's not the first Ed single to bare a striking similarity to another hit either. When chart titans Ed and Justin dropped their new collaboration this month, some immediately noticed a similarity in the chorus with another chart-topper - Cheryl's 2014 single I Don't Care. Listen to a side-by-side comparison of the two below: A US court ruled that was not the case, saving the song's writers Robert Plant and Jimmy Page millions in damages.
Led Zeppelin's iconic hit Stairway to Heaven had, until this month, been caught up in a six-year legal battle with Los Angeles band Spirit, who claimed the song stole the opening of their track Taurus. We've looked at some songs that may not be identical, or even have that much in common, but in there somewhere is a striking similarity that we can't get out of our heads.
