January 3, 20215 yr 17 Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande Rain On Me 2nd single from Chromatica Released: 22nd May 2020 Label: Interscope Records Chart Statistics NE (04/06/2020) | 1-2-2-2-2-3-3-4-4-21-22-27-32-37-34-29-29-34-38-48-45-45-48-60-73-85-x Sales: 800k+ Certification: Platinum 01 Sales 02 Audio Streaming 01 Video Streaming Video AoAm4om0wTs Biography Lady Gaga Some may dismiss pop as inauthentic. But for Lady Gaga—one of popular culture’s greatest, most extravagant creations—the inauthenticity is the point. No artist has more defiantly embodied that provocation this century than the one born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (in New York in 1986). Never wedded to the same image—one minute wearing a dress made of raw meat at the MTV VMAs, the next a coat of Kermit the Frog puppets on German TV—Gaga personifies pop’s surface obsessions while simultaneously upending them. In a sense, her creative identity had crystallized by age 21, having been a child pianist, aspiring actor, and burlesque performer. Each of these facets powered her career’s most distinct parts: the celebrity fascination of her first two albums, 2008’s The Fame and 2009’s The Fame Monster; the subversive layering of 2011’s Born This Way and 2013’s ARTPOP; the sincere reverence of 2014’s Cheek to Cheek, her jazz standards album with Tony Bennett; and the rootsier songwriting of 2016’s Joanne. If 2009’s “Paparazzi” reveled in the flashes, then “Born This Way” celebrated inner light: In translating her diffuse identity into world-conquering art, Gaga has become a beacon to anyone else who’s felt like an outsider. Her loyal following—a.k.a. Little Monsters—has affirmed a deep connection to her message of self-love and self-expression, despite pop’s fickleness and her chameleonic exterior. She played out a simpler version of her path to fame in the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born: But while her character’s ascent was abetted by her lover, Gaga’s was all her own. - Apple Music Ariana Grande Armed with a mesmerizing, nimble soprano—and a vocal register often likened to Mariah Carey’s and Christina Aguilera’s—Ariana Grande began her career as a child star on Broadway and Nickelodeon before transforming into a pop and R&B powerhouse. Instantly recognizable thanks to her signature ponytail, cat ears, babydoll dresses, and breezy self-confidence, her slyly sexual personal brand has, like that of the Spice Girls before her, become an iconic image of young female power. But Grande is more than a symbol: Over the course of several albums and scores of hit singles—beginning with 2013’s “The Way” (featuring Mac Miler) through The Weeknd-assisted “Love Me Harder” and “Break Free” (featuring Zedd)—she has consistently outshined her male collaborators and deftly parlayed her stardom into activism. An LGBTQ advocate and outspoken feminist (“I’m tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man’s past, present, or future PROPERTY,” she tweeted in 2016), she uses her platform to confront issues like misogyny, sexism, homophobia, and bullying, spreading a message of love over all. Nowhere was this more clear than in May 2017: After terrorists attacked her concert in Manchester, England, killing 22 and injuring hundreds, Grande continued her tour. "Perspective changes your life,” she told Beats 1’s Ebro Darden. "You want to stay in the moment and try not to give into fear, because obviously the whole point of finishing the tour was being there for my fans. You want to set the same example and keep going.” And that she did: Her Max Martin-produced smash “No Tears Left to Cry,” an escapist dance-floor triumph released a year after the attack, sends a message of hope and healing, with a dose of hear-me-roar attitude. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Lady Gaga 2009 01 Just Dance (feat.

January 3, 20215 yr 16 Topic and A7S Breaking Me Non-album single Released: 19th December 2019 Label: Virgin Records Chart Statistics NE (23/04/2020) | 98-68-59-50-24-15-11-5-4-4-3-4-4-5-20-18-18-16-24-30-32-28-28-31-33-44-43-47-56-63-70-78-x Sales: 800k+ Certification: Platinum 02 Sales 04 Audio Streaming 26 Video Streaming Video jIoEaTN7GGo Biography Topic German songwriter, producer, and DJ Topic refers to his sound as "melancholic dance music." His songs typically combine striding house beats and light guitar melodies with yearning lyrics about heartache as well as dancefloor escapism. He made his full-length debut with 2015's Miles, and later scored a worldwide hit with 2019's "Breaking Me," featuring A7S. Tobias Topic was born in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, in 1992. He began producing music using a digital audio workstation when he was 16. Using social media to launch his career, he released his first single, "Light It Up" (with vocalist Jona Selle), in 2014. His debut album, Miles, appeared in 2015, containing several additional singles, including "Home" (featuring Nico Santos), which was certified platinum in Germany and Australia. He continued releasing additional charting singles such as 2016's "Find You" (with Jake Reese), 2017's "Break My Habits," and 2018's "Perfect" (with former Fifth Harmony singer Ally Brooke), which became his first song to reach the Billboard Dance/Electronic chart. Topic's first major worldwide hit, "Breaking Me," featuring Swedish singer A7S (Alexander Tidebrink), was released during the final weeks of 2019, and hit the Top Ten in two dozen countries by the end of 2020. Topic reunited with Santos on the 2020 single "Like I Love You," and collaborated with A7S and rapper Lil Baby on "Why Do You Lie to Me." - Apple Music A7S A7S is the enigmatic alter ego of Swedish songwriting sensation, Alexander Tidebrink. Having amassed over 1 Billion worldwide streams under his real moniker and for others, A7S is an altogether different project – darker, groove-heavier, but still infinitely melodic. Tipping his hat to fellow sonic travellers Diplo, Jon Bellion and The Weeknd, A7S blends seductive beats and a twilight vibe with perennial hooks. His laser-focus on melody is front and centre and the imaginative production never eclipses or overrides the song. Although A7S has just begun releasing material, he’s already a chart phenomenon – storming out of the gate with his first single “Breaking Me”, which is one of the top 10 most streamed tracks global (top 100 best streaming artist), top 3 in Germany, UK and Netherlands and No.1 on the Shazam and European airplay charts. For an artist in his mid-twenties, his style is confident, and more importantly, fluid. After all, genre is irrelevant when everyone you know is singing your chorus. Watch and wait as his audience grows exponentially with each release. - Spotify Top 100 Chart History Topic 2020 03 Breaking Me (Topic & A7S) -NAS- 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 1 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 1 x Top 100 A7S 2020 03 Breaking Me (Topic & A7S) 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 1 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 1 x Top 100 Social Media Topic A7S http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

January 3, 20215 yr 15 Harry Styles Adore You 2nd single from Fine Line Released: 6th December 2019 Label: Erskine Records Chart Statistics NE (19/12/2019) | [11-12-26]-7-9-12-15-14-10-10-13-10-14-17-13-13-16-13-13-17-28-23-18-17-22-23-22-51-54-54-68-66-70-81-77-79-86-90-94-99-x Sales: 900k+ Certification: Platinum 03 Sales 08 Audio Streaming 07 Video Streaming Video yezDEWako8U Biography In a 2019 interview with Apple Music, Harry Styles shared a memory from the early days of One Direction. They were in the studio in Sweden working on “What Makes You Beautiful”. First single, the rollercoaster train just starting to climb the track. Someone comes into the room and says there are a couple of girls outside. Why? the band asks. They’re looking for you guys. For One Direction. “And we’re all just like, ‘But we’re in Sweden!’” Ah, the old, “who…us?” routine. Harry! Incorrigibly charming, dreamboat for starry-eyed youth the world over. And, as it turns out, a legitimate force in pop, the kind of artist who could bridge contemporary appeal with classic values in ways that felt fresh but familiar, universal. Part of what had made One Direction so great was that they never shied away from the pleasures of boy-band pop, but never patronised their audiences or fell back on gimmicks, either: Never mind the no-dancing policy; they were writing songs, exploring music as something beyond the show. In his solo career, Styles (born 1994, in Redditch, England) has done much the same, combining soul (“Watermelon Sugar”), confessional soft rock (“Sign of the Times”) and psychedelia (“Sunflower, Vol. 6”) with a modern touch, summarising where pop has been while also pushing it forward. “I’m just trying to go through life being a little less worried about stuff,” he said. “Definitely with working. Because ultimately, it’ll be okay.” He had a busy five years there. But he’s got a lifetime ahead of him. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2017 01 Sign Of The Times -1- MILLIONAIRE 2017 46 Sweet Creature -IG- 2017 51 Carolina -AT- 2017 58 Two Ghosts -2- 2017 64 Meet Me In The Hallway -AT- 2017 66 Kiwi -3- 2017 80 Only Angel -AT- 2017 87 Ever Since New York -AT- 2017 99 Woman -AT- 2019 03 Lights Up -1- 2019 04 Watermelon Sugar -4- MILLIONAIRE 2019 07 Adore You -2- 2019 15 Falling -3- 2020 27 Golden -5- 1 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 6 x Top 40 | 14 x Top 100 Social Media Harry Styles http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/uploads/group_images/of_233.png
January 3, 20215 yr Author Breaking Me is a bit of a tune, pleased it managed to be one of the year's big dance hits even if it's not an absolute fave of mine.
January 3, 20215 yr 'Adore You' is the one 'Fine Line' single that hasn't clicked with me! I think it felt a bit too safe after hearing 'Lights Up' and 'Watermelon Sugar' before it.
January 3, 20215 yr Rover is pretty dull. I love Chromatica but Rain on Me is only about my 7th favourite from it! Breaking Me is great. Adore You is my favourite from Harry - there’s something quite profound about it.
January 3, 20215 yr absolutely love Rain on Me, Gaga's best song in many many years, super glad it managed to be such a big hit! That Shallow shade :nono:
January 3, 20215 yr 14 Joel Corry Lonely Non-album single Released: 24th January 2020 Label: Perfect Havoc Chart Statistics NE (06/02/2020) | 61-30-16-14-8-7-7-5-4-5-6-6-10-8-30-27-28-31-32-38-36-32-39-54-54-56-64-63-63-76-82-82-83-89-91-x Sales: 800k+ Certification: Platinum 06 Sales 05 Audio Streaming 14 Video Streaming Video IIG4GgGKdKo Biography British DJ and producer Joel Corry's bright, bass-heavy house tracks are chiefly inspired by '90s and 2000s U.K. garage and R&B, mixing upbeat rhythms with yearning sentiments. Following several singles released throughout the second half of the 2010s, he hit big in 2019 with a cover of Monsta Boy's "Sorry." Corry grew up during the height of the U.K. garage explosion, and started to DJ when he was 13. Professionally active as the owner of a personal training business as well as a gym and leisure wear company, he first caught the public's eye when he starred in the reality show Geordie Shore. Corry released his first two dance singles, "Back Again" and "Light It Up," in 2015. He began hosting a specialty show on KISS FM in 2017, and holds down summer residencies in Ibiza, Zante, Ayia Napa, and several other clubbing hot spots. In 2019, he released a cover of Monsta Boy's 2000 U.K. garage hit "Sorry (I Didn't Know)," retitled "Sorry" and featuring vocalist Hayley May. After being featured on the British reality TV series Love Island, the song reached the Top Ten in the United Kingdom, Scotland, and Ireland. Two more singles, "Lonely" and "Head & Heart," arrived in 2020 and reached the Top Five of the U.K. singles chart. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2019 06 Sorry -NAS- 2020 04 Lonely -NAS- 2020 01 Head & Heart (feat.

January 3, 20215 yr 13 Doja Cat Say So 5th single from Hot Pink Released: 7th November 2019 Label: Kemosabe Records / RCA Records Chart Statistics NE (09/01/2020) | 83-68-65-60-45-35-25-21-19-10-9-8-7-7-9-8-9-10-2-3-2-4-9-28-30-35-42-53-58-59-67-70-72-80-88-97-91-x Sales: 900k+ Certification: Platinum 06 Sales 04 Audio Streaming 05 Video Streaming Video pok8H_KF1FA Biography Some call the end of summer the “slow news season”—school's still out, vacation is in full swing, and headlines tend to get weird—and Doja Cat (born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini in 1995) knew just what to do about it. In August of 2018, the Los Angeles singer and rapper dropped “Mooo!”, a sultry R&B jam, thick with double entendres and sung from the perspective of a cow. It went viral, thanks to an unforgettable, improbably catchy chorus that had people wondering: Could she possibly be for real? But Doja, who released her debut EP, Purrr!, in 2014, and her first album, Amala, in 2018, was no novelty act. In the years since, she has proven herself one of pop music’s savviest, most audacious characters. She raps nimbly, switching up her cadence from one syllable to the next, and her pop-culture nods (referencing actresses Tia and Tamera Mowry or sampling blink-182 and Paul Anka) are just as unpredictable as her dizzying flow. Her presentation is both tough and coquettish. As she demonstrated over and over on her 2019 album, Hot Pink, she assumes a fun and fundamentally empowered stance in her singing and rapping about sex. And woe to anyone who might take issue with that: “Sex is meaningful, it is!” she told Apple Music, with her trademark defiant charm. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2019 80 Juicy (Doja Cat & Tyga) -1- 2020 02 Say So -2- 2020 24 Boss Bitch -OST- 2020 62 Like That (feat.
