Ed does sound like such a genuine guy.

 

The snippet of Bad Habits they played sounded really good (I've not heard the song in full yet) so I look forward to hearing it later in the show.

 

Yassss, By Your side, amazing iconic BANGER!!!

 

:yahoo:

The drop of this feels straight out of the '18 Months' era! Can't say this massively excites me but it's definitely grown a bit since listen #1 at least.

I'm so glad this is finally top 10!!!

Biography

 

Doja Cat

Some call the end of summer the “slow news season”—school's still out, holidays are 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

 

The Weeknd

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

I really want this to hit me harder as I like both Doja and The Weeknd but it's just not clicking for some reason :cry:

 

'I Don't Do Drugs' is rather predictably my favourite collab on the album *.*

Ed does sound like such a genuine guy.

That loves money and have number 1 hits. :drama:

2011 01 We Found Love (Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris) MILLION SELLER

2013 01 Under Control (Calvin Harris & Alesso feat. Hurts) -1-

2014 01 Summer -2- MILLIONAIRE

2014 01 Blame (feat. John Newman) -3- MILLIONAIRE

 

I often forget just how massive Calvin was back in the day :drama:

This climbed from the midweeks, I thought it'd be like #11!

 

I heard the Ariana one and it was a snoozefest, this is at least an improvement on the first listen.

Aw, a second #4 album it is for Tyler then. Doja's album will have a better chart run so can't really begrudge it but a shame that he narrowly misses out on a first top 3. Yay for him getting his 2nd highest singles chart position this week as well at least ~ intrigued to find out later what his 3rd chart song ends up being.

 

Pleased to see 'By Your Side' finally making the top 10, also surprisingly quite like the Marshmello/Jonas Brothers song (and I'm not even a fan of 'Last Christmas' xx) so am happy enough to see it growing into a decent hit! Not particularly thrilled at the return of Tones And I but out of the songs I have heard from her 'Fly Away' is definitely the most tolerable one (i.e. her vocals on it don't make me want to cut my ears off 95% of the time), it's a little on the bland side but not awful, I'd say I probably prefer it to the Jonasu song out of this week's new entries that I have heard :lol:

 

Woo for 'Three Lions' being back up to #22 as well *.* hopefully top 10 next week (will of course require England not to bottle it tomorrow).

I'm not enjoying this Doja track on a first listen, those screechy vocals :nocheer:

Yes at Oliver Twist still top 10.
I thought 'Oliver Twist' would zoom into big top 5 hit status but its momentum seems to have peaked now. Still a massive earworm!
