Biography

 

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. In 1990, she rose to fame with the release of "Vision of Love" from her eponymous debut album. The album produced four chart-topping singles in the US and began what would become a string of commercially successful albums which solidified the singer as Columbia's highest selling act. Carey and Boyz II Men spent a record sixteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995–1996 with "One Sweet Day," which remains the longest-running number-one song in US chart history. Following a contentious divorce from Sony Music head Tommy Mottola, Carey adopted a new image and traversed towards hip hop with the release of Butterfly (1997). In 1998, she was honored as the world's best-selling recording artist of the 1990s at the World Music Awards and subsequently named the best-selling female artist of the millennium in 2000.

 

Carey parted with Columbia in 2000, and signed a record-breaking $100 million recording contract with Virgin Records America. In the weeks prior to the release of her film Glitter and its accompanying soundtrack in 2001, she suffered a physical and emotional breakdown and was hospitalized for severe exhaustion. The project was poorly received and led to a general decline in the singer's career. Carey's recording contract was bought out for $50 million by Virgin and she signed a multi-million dollar deal with Island Records the following year. After a relatively unsuccessful period, she returned to the top of music charts with The Emancipation of Mimi (2005). The album became the best-selling album in the US and the second best-seller worldwide in 2005 and produced "We Belong Together," which became her most successful single of the 2000s, and was later named "Song of the Decade" by Billboard. Carey once again ventured into film with a well-received supporting role in Precious (2009), and was awarded the "Breakthrough Performance Award" at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

 

Throughout her career, Carey has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. According to the RIAA, she is the third-best-selling female artist in the United States, with 63.5 million certified albums. With the release of "Touch My Body" (2008), Carey gained her 18th number-one single in the United States, more than any other solo artist. In 2012, the singer was ranked second on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Women in Music." Aside from her commercial accomplishments, Carey has won 5 Grammy Awards, 19 World Music Awards, 11 American Music Awards, and 14 Billboard Music Awards and has been consistently credited with inspiring a generation of singers. Referred to as the "songbird supreme" by the Guinness World Records, she is famed for her five-octave vocal range, power, melismatic style and signature use of the whistle register. - Wikipedia

Biography

 

Channeling the imaginations and aesthetics of forebears like Sia and Lady Gaga, Albanian-American pop singer/songwriter Ava Max delivers empowering, dance-friendly anthems similar to contemporaries such as Bebe Rexha, Sigrid, and Dua Lipa. Emerging in the late 2010s, she appeared on collaborations with Le Youth, Witt Lowry, and David Guetta while also releasing her own singles, including the hit "Sweet But Psycho," which topped the charts in Sweden.

 

Born Amanda Ava Koci in Wisconsin, she was raised by Albanian immigrant parents in Virginia. She started singing at a young age and was already active in singing competitions by the time she reached high school. After moving to Los Angeles to pursue music full-time, she joined local disco revival producer Le Youth on his bright dance track "Clap Your Hands," which became a summer hit in 2017. The next year, she showcased her Sia-esque vocals with debut solo single "My Way" (Atlantic) before following with "Slippin" and "Not Your Barbie Girl," which interpolated Aqua's '90s classic. That year, she also joined rapper Witt Lowry on his track "Into Your Arms" and David Guetta on "Let It Be Me" from his album 7. Koci scored her biggest hit to date that summer with "Sweet But Psycho," an addictive pop gem produced by Cirkut (the Weeknd, Katy Perry, Rihanna). Charting across Europe, it hit number one in Sweden and topped 30 million streams. That fall, she signed with Full Stop Management, home to Charli XCX, Harry Styles, HAIM, and others. - iTunes

Hi guys, welcome to this year's EOY chart show thread! A few pointers:

2. The blank posts preceding this post are for the weekly top 40 chart posts, I'll fill them in as and when the information is made available.

3. The key word for today is patience - I'm hosting on my own so please bear with as I'm jugging two countdowns!

Interesting to think history could be re-written today!

I'm around today probs for 90% of this so will be here <3 Hoping we hear some good songs *.*

 

In the normal chart I'm really hope Mariah or Ava pull through with the #1 and in the EOY I really hope No Tears Left To Cry cracks the top 10 as I can't at potentially two of my fave songs of their respective years stalling at #11 twice in a row

Was the last great Xmas no.1 rreaaally Girls Aloud?? :o Although I liked Alex Burke tbh too.

I also will be posting the chart in blocks of 10 as we go along as I did last year, for those members that want to catch up later. Bearing in mind I will be away between 2:30 pm to 4 pm, so I try my best to keep you updated.

I can't see who else is in contention but those two? :lol:

I thought Wham might've been in contention as I thought they were closer in midweeks but yh now I've seen the gap that's not happening haha :lol:

at what time they're playing the normal chart? just from 5 to 6?

at what time they're playing the normal chart? just from 5 to 6?

They aren't. They'll just briefly reveal the top 10 at some point in the show I expect.

oh boo, today's top 10 would be really something exciting to listen to for a change

The EOY chart uses SCR all throughout and can also include sales accumulated when songs are being excluded from the chart right? Will be interesting to see if anything sticks out as egregious given the circumstances, some of Drake's curiously short chart runs come to mind.

That's correct!

There definitely could be quite a few that didn't do that well in the weekly chart appearing in this EOY list!

If I recall, had the current rules been in place sooner, last year's list would include about half a dozen Ed Sheeran tracks that never charted :heehee:
