wouldn't care less who's #1 between the two awful Ariana songs

 

can't decide which one is worst, her cover of My Favourite things or her cover of Rihanna's Bitch better have my money :)

 

SEETHE!

 

loving both of these smashes!

I prefer 7 rings but I was definitely rooting for break up this week, seeing Ariana nab three #1s from this album in just a few months is amazing!! :wub:
A shame One Last Time missed #1, was so close.

Next week's contender?

Biography

 

Zedd

In 2012, when Zedd released his debut album, Clarity, he had a clarification of his own to make: “#CLARITY is all about the music,” he tweeted. “The ‘M’ in ‘EDM’.” It was a crucial distinction for an artist who had come up through rave’s ranks in record time. The Russian-German producer, born Anton Zaslavski in 1989, got his start in electronic music in 2010 by winning a pair of remix contests—prior to that, he’d played guitar in a post-hardcore band, Dioramic. He came flying off the blocks soon after with remixes of Skrillex’s “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” and Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” But while his early singles, like 2011’s “Shave It,” were booming, laser-strafed electro-house anthems in a jagged style that some fans dubbed “complextro,” it soon became clear that those buzzing, fizzing synths were secondary to his real interest: songwriting. His second album, 2015’s True Colors, traded festival fireworks for sleek choruses, clever chord changes, and featured guests like Logic, Troye Sivan, and Selena Gomez, and since then he has continued to prove his range. “Stay,” a 2017 track with Alessia Cara, flips trap drums and silky vocoders into a bewitchingly skeletal (and devastatingly wistful) form, while 2018’s “Happy Now” trickles acoustic guitars over a twinkling music-box beat and a plaintive chorus that captures his music’s deceptive emotional pull. And then there’s 2018’s “The Middle,” a song Zedd tried out with a number of heavy-hitting vocalists (Carly Rae Jepsen, Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello) before finally going with Maren Morris, a country singer little known in pop-EDM circles. Splitting the difference between Morris’ grit and his own silicon sheen, Zedd once again proved his versatility—as well as his star-making instincts. - iTunes

 

Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer and songwriter. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager. Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin. After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.

 

Perry rose to fame in 2008 with the release of her second album, a pop rock record titled One of the Boys, and its singles "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold". The former track also sparked controversy for its sapphic themes. Her third album, Teenage Dream (2010), ventured into disco, and was her first album to top the U.S. Billboard 200. It topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with the singles "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T.", and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" while "The One That Got Away" reached number 3 on the chart. The album became the first by a female artist to produce five number-one songs in the U.S., and the second overall after Michael Jackson's album Bad. In March 2012, she re-issued the album as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, which produced the songs "Part of Me" and "Wide Awake". Her fourth album, Prism (2013), was her second to peak atop the U.S. charts. It is influenced by pop and dance, and she became the first artist with multiple videos to reach one billion views on Vevo with the videos for its songs "Roar" and "Dark Horse". Her fifth album, Witness (2017), delved into electropop and became her third album to reach number one in the U.S. Its most successful single, "Chained to the Rhythm", broke the record for Spotify's most streamed track by a female artist within 24 hours upon its release.

 

Perry has received various awards, including four Guinness World Records, five American Music Awards, a Brit Award, and a Juno Award, and has been included in the annual Forbes lists of highest-earning women in music from 2011–2018. Her estimated net worth as of 2016 is $125 million. She is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 40 million albums and over 100 million records globally throughout her career. In film, she released an autobiographical documentary titled Katy Perry: Part of Me in 2012, and voiced Smurfette in the 2011 film The Smurfs and its sequel in 2013. Perry also began serving as a judge on American Idol in 2018. - Wikipedia

Biography

 

Cardi B

Cardi B’s come-up reads like a 2010s Cinderella story. In just a handful of years, the sharp-tongued New Yorker went from viral Instagram phenom to one of hip-hop’s most exciting voices, establishing herself as a bossed-up feminist icon along the way. Born Belcalis Almanzar in the South Bronx in 1992, Cardi got a job as a stripper at 19, quickly building a social media following—in addition to her devotees at the club—for her viral videos and hilarious catchphrases. In 2015, she scored a spot on VH1’s drama-filled reality show Love & Hip Hop: New York, where her brash personality turned her into an immediate fan favorite among her more established costars. That same over-the-top charisma made Cardi a natural fit for rap dominance; witty, unfiltered, and totally fearless, her early tracks doubled as mantras for self-made women who put themselves first. But it was “Bodak Yellow” that launched Cardi into superstardom; a trap anthem that rang out from cars and clubs throughout 2017, it begging you to shout along. Her 2018 debut album, Invasion of Privacy, fused the Latin music of her childhood with hardcore New York hustlers' anthems, and squashed any doubts as to whether Cardi was here to stay. Meanwhile, her scene-stealing guest verses span the pop charts, from Bruno Mars (“Finesse [Remix]”) to Ozuna (“La Modelo”) to Maroon 5 (“Girls Like You”). Not bad for a self-proclaimed regular girl from The Bronx. - iTunes

 

Bruno Mars

Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), known as Bruno Mars, is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and dancer. He is known for his stage performances, retro showmanship and for performing in a wide range of musical styles including R&B, funk, pop, soul, reggae, hip hop, and rock. Mars is accompanied by his band, The Hooligans, who play a variety of instruments such as electric guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, drums and horns, and also serve as backup singers and dancers.

 

Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mars moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue a musical career. After being dropped by Motown Records, Mars signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records in 2009. In the same year, he co-founded the production team The Smeezingtons, responsible for various successful singles for Mars himself and other artists. Mars rose to fame in 2010 with the release of the successful singles "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B and "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy, both of which featured his vocals on the hooks. His debut studio album Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010) peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and reached the top of the albums charts in Canada, Germany, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It spawned the international number-one singles "Just the Way You Are", "Grenade", and "The Lazy Song". The former won a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. In 2011, Mars recorded the single "It Will Rain" for the film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011).

 

Mars' second album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, and in the UK, winning a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. Its singles "Locked Out of Heaven" and "When I Was Your Man" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2014, Mars collaborated with Mark Ronson on "Uptown Funk", which topped many music charts worldwide, including the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. It won two Grammys, Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. In 2016, Shampoo Press & Curl replaced The Smeezingtons on the composition of Mars' third studio album, the R&B-focused, 24K Magic. The record debuted at number two in the United States, Canada, France, and New Zealand and received seven Grammys, in conjunction with major categories Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. It yielded the successful singles "24K Magic", "That's What I Like", and "Finesse".

 

Mars has sold over 130 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has released seven number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 since his career launched in 2010, attaining his first five faster than any male artist since Elvis Presley. As a songwriter, he was included in Music Week and Billboard magazines as one of the best songwriters of 2011 and 2013, respectively. Mars has received several awards and nominations, including 11 Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, nine American Music Awards, 10 Soul Train Awards and holds three Guinness World Records. He has appeared in Time's 100 most influential people in the world (2011) and Forbes' lists of lists of 30 under 30 (2013), the world's most powerful celebrities (2014), and Celebrity 100 (2018). - Wikipedia

wow, amazing chart facts about this Ariana feat

365 is decent upon first listen, plus the music video's good.

I didn't like Please Me as much as the Finesse Remix, but it's still a solid track.

wow, amazing chart facts about this Ariana feat

Most impressively of all, I wonder how long it's been since both the UK top 2 singles were available on cassette... *_* :lol:

wouldn't care less who's #1 between the two awful Ariana songs

 

can't decide which one is worst, her cover of My Favourite things or her cover of Rihanna's Bitch better have my money :)

 

My GOD, you really are such an interminable and insufferable BORE. -_-

Ariana has had some really decent singles, weird to see her so successful now while the quality is going backwards somewhat. Humho!!
This era's a step forward for me after Sweetener on just about every level (NTLTC excepted) tbh!
It is a shame that Ariana’s best singles didn’t make it to #1 but I’m glad to see another decent #1 of 2019
Katy's follow up to the Christmas classic Cozy Little Christmas, 365, to smash next week please xx
