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.” - Apple Music

Biography

 

ATB

André Tanneberger (German: [ʔanˈdʁeː ˈtanəbɛʁɡɐ]; born 26 February 1973), better known by his stage name ATB, is a German DJ, musician, and producer of trance music. According to the official world DJ rankings governed by DJ Magazine, ATB was ranked No. 11 in 2009 and 2010, and No. 15 in 2011. In 2011, he was ranked as world No. 1 according to "The DJ List". He is best known for his 1999 single "9 PM (Till I Come)" which was a No. 1 single in the United Kingdom. - Wikipedia

 

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

hope they don't torture us with the 3 Drake songs, they should at least skip 1 :D

 

I think they will play all of them, especially if all Top 10 as expected.

So what do you mean by it would have climbed faster if not for H&H?

Because a lot of people are still streaming H&H despite Bed being very recent

Save Your Tears is finally ahead of Get Out My Head now, if only this had happened last week to allow SYT a week in the top ten :(

Bed :zzz:

 

No its not that boring really but it needed more disco sound effects I think!

Skipping Save Your Tears - I fear this has peaked now but deserved Top 10.

 

Hoping ATB can get Top 10 in next couple of weeks if some below it go to ACR and Drake tracks drop down.

ATB wouldn't be top 10 even if Drake didn't exist. :(
Because a lot of people are still streaming H&H despite Bed being very recent

Why does a new single mean you have to stop streaming the old one?

It's a shame they didn't play Anyone, I'm loving this Ava track though :cheer:

Because he has taste

ATB's song is such a bop, it's a shame to see it fall a little but hopefully it can climb again in future weeks
Why does a new single mean you have to stop streaming the old one?

People are still streaming Blinding Lights and it's still in the top 40.

Biography

 

MEDUZA have spent the year leading the charge in returning house music to daytime radio, and succeeding. Their debut release, ‘Piece Of Your Heart’ featuring Goodboys, has now seen over a billion streams globally, reaching double platinum (1.2m units) in the UK alone and peaking at #2 on the Official UK Charts. This trend has followed Meduza globally, with multi Diamond, Platinum and Gold certifications around the world and a GRAMMY nomination. The follow up, ‘Lose Control’ with Goodboys and Becky Hill, has made an unprecedented impact, reaching the UK Top40 in its first week, now notching upward of 450 million cumulative streams, reaching Gold sales in the UK in less than 3 months. These headline successes are also bolstered by an impressive catalogue of hand picked remixes for the likes of MK, R+, Dermot Kennedy and Ritual, displaying not only Meduza’s signature sound and energy, but also the raw ability to create a stand out release whenever called upon. The touring diary for Meduza shows an almost insatiable demand for the hottest act in dance music, with El Row, Exit in Serbia, EDC Mexico and Las Vegas standing alongside smaller underground clubs like Fabric in London, The Rex in Paris, Toffler in Rotterdam, Amnesia Milan to name but a few key venues and events scaling the globe. Tours of Australia, Europe, South America and the United States already crowd the upcoming diary for 2020 promising to expose Meduza to millions of fans over summer. - Spotify

Biography

 

If something good was to come from the pandemic, it is A1 and J1. Meeting on the App Houseparty in 2020, 15-year-old A1 from North West London now based in Coventry and 17-year-old J1 from Kent started their rapping aspirations together remotely, showcasing a zeitgeist movement from the repercussions of this year. Latest Trends launched as just a 15 second tease, going viral on Tik Tok, with social media comments begging for the song to be released in full. All organically and from 2 young, brand new artists the track now has grown and grown. Both A1 and J1 bring unique flows throughout the track. J1 with strong standout bars and A1 who brings the idyllic catchy chorus. Rap and R&B vibes are in full flow with the UK stamp placed on the track. Before they had thought about making a full-length track, the snippet was receiving 2000 organic video creations a day on Tik Tok. In a short space of time the boys had over 100k combined social following. The first week saw 250k views across all platforms. Rippling across media the snippet has taken off, now talking in the millions. With support from the likes of KSI, Deno, Darkoo, and JB Scofield there is no limit to how far this track will go. The people have spoken, and the record is here! This is only the first chapter of their story; the potential is limitless! - Spotify
