In October 2014, he became the first artist to place three songs simultaneously on the top 10 of Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs chart. He also became the first British solo artist to reach more than one billion streams on Spotify. Harris has received ten Brit Award nominations—three for Best British Male and four Grammy nominations, winning a Grammy for Best Music Video in 2013. He received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year in 2013 and at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards was named Top Dance/Electronic Artist. One of the most successful musicians in contemporary British popular culture, Harris appeared on Debrett's 2017 list of the most influential people in the United Kingdom.

In December 2013, he was nominated for the 2014 Brit Critics' Choice Award and the BBC's Sound of 2014 poll, both of which he won. He released his debut studio album, In the Lonely Hour, in May 2014 on Capitol Records UK. The lead single, "Lay Me Down", was released prior to "La La La". The second single, "Money on My Mind", became his second number one single in the UK. The album's third single, "Stay with Me", was an international success, reaching number one in the UK and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, while the fourth single "I'm Not the Only One" reached the top five in both countries. The fifth single, "Like I Can", reached number nine in the United Kingdom. He made his United States debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, followed by a performance on Saturday Night Live in March 2014. In December 2014, Smith was nominated for six Grammy Awards, and at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2015 he won four: Best New Artist, "Stay with Me" for Record of the Year and Song of the Year, and In the Lonely Hour for Best Pop Vocal Album. At the 2015 Brit Awards, he won the awards for British Breakthrough Act and Global Success. At the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, Smith received three Billboard Awards: Top Male Artist, Top New Artist, and Top Radio Songs Artist. His musical achievements have also led him to be mentioned twice in the Guinness World Records. For his and Jimmy Napes' song "Writing's on the Wall", the theme for the James Bond film Spectre (2015), Smith won the Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Original Song. His second studio album, The Thrill of It All, was released in November 2017, and debuted atop the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200.

August 31, 20187 yr 01 | 03 | 7th week benny blanco, Halsey & Khalid Eastside -  Non-Album Single Released: 13th July 2018 Label: Friends Keep Secrets / Interscope Records The superstar producer behind some of Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Ed Sheeran's biggest hits steps out from behind the curtain for his debut single with new pop royalty, Halsey and Khalid. - iTunes Chart Statistics NE (26/07/2018) | 52-40-23-12-4-3-1 Sales: 100k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 04 Sales 03 Audio Streaming 09 Video Streaming Video 56WBK4ZK_cw Biography benny blanco Benjamin Levin (born March 8, 1988), known professionally as Benny Blanco, is an American record producer, songwriter, musician and recipient of the 2013 Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also a five-time BMI Songwriter of the Year award winner and 2017 iHeartRadio Producer of the Year award winner. As a producer and songwriter, Blanco is responsible for more than 100 million album sales worldwide due to his work with artists including Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Kesha, Sia, The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West and many more. He is also the founder of two labels in collaboration with Interscope Records, Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets. In July 2018, Blanco released the song "Eastside" under his own name, a collaboration with Halsey and Khalid. - Wikipedia Halsey Halsey is the alias of New York-based pop artist Ashley Frangipane. The New Jersey native took her moniker from a New York L train subway stop, and her adopted city plays a large role in both the sound and lyrics of her dark, gritty electro-pop, which has been compared to acts like Chvrches and Lorde. Based on the strength of her first single "Ghost," she signed a deal with Capitol-owned electronic/dance label Astralwerks in early 2014. Her debut EP, Room 93, arrived in October of that same year. In 2015, Halsey released her debut full-length album, Badlands, which featured production from Lido, the Futuristics, Son Lux, and others. Included on the album were the singles "Ghost," "New Americana," "Colors," and "Castle," a version of which also appeared on the soundtrack to The Huntsman: Winter's War. Badlands debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and sold well, ultimately achieving gold certification status. In January 2017, Halsey returned with the single "Not Afraid Anymore," which was featured on the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack. Three months later, she released "Now or Never," the first single from her sophomore album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Featuring collaborations with Sia, Greg Kurstin, and Benny Blanco, the LP appeared in June 2017 and topped the Billboard 200. A remix of the LP's dark pop single "Alone," featuring Big Sean and Stefflon Don, arrived in March 2018. - Wikipedia Khalid Combining a voice that sounds made for classic soul with cutting-edge music, Khalid is a singer/songwriter from El Paso, Texas. Raised by a military family, Khalid lived in Germany and upstate New York before settling in Texas. He was first inspired to make music by his mother, who was a singer and loved '90s R&B artists such as Brandy and TLC. While still a teenager, he began making music in 2015, incorporating influences as wide-ranging as Frank Ocean, India.Arie, Alt-J, and Father John Misty in the songs he posted online. He eventually connected with producer SykSense, who, along with Tunji Ige and Smash David, worked on Khalid's bittersweet breakout single, "Location." Released in mid-2016, the song hit the Top Ten of Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart the following January. Another single, "Hopeless," preceded Khalid's debut album, American Teen, which arrived in March 2017. Later that year, Khalid won a VMA from MTV for Best Artist and collaborated with Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei on a track for the film Love, Simon. That single, "Love Lies," was released in early 2018. - iTunes Top 100 Chart History benny blanco 2018 01 Eastside (benny blanco, Halsey & Khalid) Halsey 2015 34 The Feeling (Justin Bieber feat.

August 31, 20187 yr Bloody hell, never expected, now I need to re-prep the top 3 in the sales topic. :drama:
August 31, 20187 yr Oh... :( 'Eastside' has grown on me and all but I'm not particularly here for it being #1 over 'Promises', hope that will still have a chance! Living for Pinkfong, Freya Ridings and BTS entering today *.*
August 31, 20187 yr Genuinely cannot understand how this has happened, Promises is #1 by a significant distance on Spotify and iTunes, was #1 in yesterday's mids and has only been growing as the week went on!
August 31, 20187 yr I knew it when he said earlier that all tracks in the top 3 had been #1 at some point he was kinda giving it away I kinda imagined it meant Eastside was #1
August 31, 20187 yr Genuinely cannot understand how this has happened, Promises is #1 by a significant distance on Spotify and iTunes, was #1 in yesterday's mids and has only been growing as the week went on! YouTube streams likely.
August 31, 20187 yr Genuinely cannot understand how this has happened, Promises is #1 by a significant distance on Spotify and iTunes, was #1 in yesterday's mids and has only been growing as the week went on! Eastside is the most streamed song this week on audio platforms. Promises is lacking quite a bit on video streams. That's how :magic:
August 31, 20187 yr Oh wow... just looking back at the last midweek update there was less than 1k between the top 3 but still, that's the most surprised I've been at a #1 announcement since the first week for 'Poker Face' probably :o I liked 'Promises' more than 'Eastside' so I hope it can still get to #1, but 'Eastside' is a fine chart topper as well! (I guess this also explains Scott's earlier comment about all 3 of the top 3 being #1 at some point this week :P)
