Pretty shocked to see S1mba drop this much in his second week! I thought KSI's presence would help a bit more but tbf his chart runs or typically frontloaded, Lighter is just an anomaly :P

Not a fan of any Pop Smoke song. <_<

After many weeks starred out of the chart, this one finally makes it in! Much much better than Mood Swings.

Well this is sounding quite decent actually, so it's shame this wasn't one of the original gruesome threesome plaguing the chart the past couple of months.

This is sounding far preferable to Mood Swings! Not something I'd actively listen to but I don't mind it.

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

this is not bad

Playing this AGAIN? :frankie:

Oh come on R1, seriously :sigh:

Blinding Lights still smashing! :wub:

I'm pleased that Blinding Lights copy from Guetta/Sia is flopping.

So its 39-week run of consecutive weeks in the Top 40 is merely enough to put it level with Can't Feel My Face for Weeknd songs. (It's not done yet, obvs)

I know they have to mix newies with big hits to keep the audience engaged but playing BL for the 67th time is overkill :D

I still don't get the appeal of Pop Smoke's music. Although 'What You Know Bout Love' is actually tolerable.

 

Blinding Lights :wub: I think I will never get bored of this song

Biography

 

M Huncho

North-west London's anonymous, mask-wearing rapper M Huncho produced a woozy, trippy style of rap he called "trapwave," with lyrics authentically reflecting his life on the streets. After making a name for himself on the local scene, he burst out in April 2017 when he appeared on the web show Mad About Bars, in which a different rapper was asked to come on each week and do a freestyle. Fans of the show immediately pronounced Huncho's one of the best there had ever been, and his reputation was secured. His debut EP, Get Out, arrived that October, with the single "Mediocre" and another EP, 48 Hours, following in 2018.

 

His debut album, Utopia, arrived in early 2019: the 14-track set, consolidating Huncho's blend of woozy trapwave in a cohesive, vibe-driven format, produced the rapper's biggest single so far, the football-inspired "Ocho Cinco." A sophomore was short to follow in 2020's Huncholini the 1st; previewed by the Nafe Smallz-assisted "Thumb," Huncho's second set was more of a mixed bag, combining his signature trapwave with forays into melodic trap. - iTunes

 

Nafe Smallz

Raised in the British town of Luton, some 30 miles northwest of London, Nafe Smallz started making a name for himself in the underground U.K. rap and grime scene in 2013 after the release of his first mixtape, New Year's Eve Special. A slew of online-only tracks appeared over the next year before he dropped his second mixtape, Ozone Music, in 2015. The following year Smallz was invited to perform a session on Charlie Sloth's influential Fire in the Booth series before rounding out the year opening for Skepta at his Alexandra Palace show. Smallz released a handful of tracks in 2017, including the woozy single Gucci, which arrived in December of that year. Wanna Know Ya followed at the beginning of 2018, before Smallz issued his third mixtape, Movie Music, featuring a number of guest collaborations with the likes of Stefflon Don, Chip, and Yung Fume. - iTunes

I still don't get the appeal of Pop Smoke's music.

Well, I wish he was still alive and I don't think we would have to listen to so many singles from him in the charts.

He was gaining traction globally anyway, he was probably due a chart breakthrough imminently at the time of his death.

The fourth collab between M Huncho and Nafe Smallz to make the top 40!
