Biography - Zara Larsson

A talented Swedish vocalist and songwriter with a penchant for crafting soulful electro-pop that falls somewhere between Rihanna, Lorde, and Robyn, Zara Maria Larsson first caught the public's eyes and ears in 2008 as the winner of the popular Swedish talent show Talang Sverige (the regional version of Got Talent). Born on December 16, 1997 in Stockholm, Larsson inked a deal with Ten Music Group after winning Talang, and issued her debut EP, Introducing, which featured the hit single "Uncover," in 2013. The song was certified triple platinum in her home country, and after another EP, Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself, Larsson began work on her official debut long-player. The resulting 1 arrived in 2014 via Record Company Ten and Universal Music. It was issued through Epic Records, with whom she signed a three album deal, in the United States. - iTunes

I could never properly get into 'Never Forget You'. I mean, it's alright but I think the production on it ruins it for me. He has better.

 

99 Souls top 15, yes! :wub:

What the hell is this?

 

It sounds completely different to the YouTube version?

Unwrapping presents whilst listening vaguely. Yasss at Wizzard & Shaky both being at their highest positions since 2007. My favourite two annual tracks with Mariah following :wub:

 

Good to see 'Stitches' top 25, should be 2016's TMTC maybe?

It's the old version before Brandy recorded new vocals for its official release.

What the hell is this?

which youtube version?

 

This is now the official version

Adore 'The Girl Is Mine', have done for almost a year now. Glad it's getting the success it deserves.

Great to see this take off. Bravo 99 Souls!

I'm really surprised 99 Souls has taken off, I thought it'd be a one week wonder in the top 40. Wonderful to see though, been loving it for months :wub:

This one, the vocals seem stronger (especially the 'excuse me can I please talk to you for a minute' bit).

Sooner this leaves the better. Headache-inducing...

Sad this has left the Top 10 :( One of the best pop songs of the year for me.

Killed by the ASDA ad.

Christmas chart greetings from Chig, chart chums! I've just been driving home and was quite thrilled that the first two songs I heard in the car were 'Driving Home For Christmas' and the thematically similar 'Coming Home'! Great to see Chris Rea reaching a new peak too.

Biography

The Pogues are an Irish band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in late 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Day and across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues.com, has no inclination to do so.

 

Their politically tinged music was informed by MacGowan and Stacy's punk backgrounds, yet used traditional Irish instruments such as the tin whistle, cittern, mandolin and accordion.

 

The Pogues were founded in Kings Cross, a district of Central London, in 1982 as Pogue Mahone—pogue mahone being the anglicisation of the Irish póg mo thóin, meaning "kiss my arse". - Wikipedia
