oh nice this is in too! love it! nice little dance tune!!

and it's a dance song that it's not a cover! :o

I could "live without" this song, zzzzz

Not heard this before but i'm liking! :music:

Fab dance tune

Well I was enjoying this somewhat until that non-event of a drop :nocheer:

Shame both of these have dropped from their midweek positions - both to climb next week with the ACR clearout!

This is quite good, but the hook doesn't feel quite strong enough for me to completely enjoy. Could be a grower!

Ava top 40! Finally :cheer:

 

Hopefully her team this time around will be smarter and release her album. Plus Salt still deserves to be pushed in the UK.

 

 

Never even heard of this before, but it's actually fairly decent!

Two great new entries this week from Ava Max and 220KID.

This song seems very unnecessary.

Kings & Queens *___ WOO LETS POP CHAMPAGNE etc.

 

that 220 Kid & Gracey song is probably the least noteworthy song to ever reach the charts :zzz: the stench of payola

Biography

 

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - iTunes

How many weeks in a row have they played this now? :lol:

:( I really wanted In Your Eyes to go Top 10

'In Your Eyes' is perhaps the best song in the top 40 that isn't by Dua Lipa. :wub:

don't need love sounding quite good on first listen

 

In Your Eyes :heart: in my top 3 on After Hours <3

I thought In Your Eyes would have more staying power.

Abel *.* I hope this can properly take off when BL falls.

40-31 section feels less mediocre than usual this week, progress! 'In Your Eyes' continues to be lush :wub:
