Biography

In one of the more unlikely crossover success stories, blonde Australian beauty Iggy Azalea (born Amethyst Amelia Kelly) segued from a high-profile modeling career to become a southern hip-hop star. Influenced in her childhood by Missy Elliott, TLC, and Tupac Shaqur, she moved to the states in 2006 at age 16, stating that she was drawn to the birthplace of rap. Moving from Miami to Houston to Atlanta, she absorbed the Southern-style drawl of her surroundings and released a trap-inspired mixtape titled Ignorant Art in 2011, shortly after relocating to Los Angeles. A video for her song "Pu$$y" was uploaded to the internet and became a YouTube favorite due to its explicit nature. Around this time, Azalea's blossoming relationship with rising rapper A$AP Rocky earned her some headlines (she tattooed the title of his debut album on her knuckles), but her recording career stalled when plans to work with T.I. fell through due to label conflicts. In spring of 2012, she signed to Wilhelmina Models International and pursued modeling full-time, landing a job as the "New Face of Levi's Jeans." Later that year, her musical stock skyrocketed when XXL Magazine put her on the cover of their annual Top 10 Freshman issue, alongside Danny Brown, Roscoe Dash, and French Montana. As the first female, non-American rapper to make the list, serious hip-hop fans took notice, including Diplo, who hooked up with Azalea for her follow-up mixtape, TrapGold, before she signed to Mercury Records for her official 2013 debut The New Classic. - iTunes

Fancy's chart run is brilliant so far! :wub:

 

In fact, the same chart run as I'm a Freak so far except a peak of 4 rather than 5. :lol:

Really starting to like 'Fancy' now I've got used to the chorus. The verses are really good (especially the second one).
If she regards "I Love It" as a Mega Hit, what she would say about "Happy"..? A Godzilla Hit..?

Fancy has almost exactly the same chart run as I'm a Freak :D

Edit - damn, beaten to it.

Good to see "Fancy" back into the top 10! :cheer: Can't wait for "Black Widow" to come and smash the charts too!
Oh and just realised, 'Loyal' going top 10 means 'Live It Up' is no longer Tyga's biggest hit. That was mildly amusing while it was true. Ah well. (I don't think the OCC credit Tyga on the song though so perhaps "officially" you could still say 'Live It Up' is his highest peaker :P)

(27) Michael Jackson-Never Felt So Good

 

An actually good recording from Michael Jackson. Too bad his work at the end didn't sound anything like this.
