September 17, 20215 yr That is quite some chart run! If it was any other song in the Top 40 I'd be incredibly irritated by the resurgence but since it's Glass Animals I'll let them off :kink:
September 17, 20215 yr What a resurgence for 'Heat Waves' :o this new peak definitely feels more indicative of how big it was this year.
September 17, 20215 yr 07 | 07 | 5th week Joel Corry and Jax Jones featuring Charli XCX and Saweetie OUT OUT Non-album single Released: 13th August 2021 Label: Perfect Havoc Chart Statistics NE (26/08/2021) | 18-10-6-7-7 Sales: 90k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 04 Sales 08 Audio Streaming 21 Video Streaming Video Yk7u5yHth_c Biography Joel Corry “Back Again” might seem like a strange title for a debut single, but not for Joel Corry: When the British DJ/producer dropped his first record in 2015, he was already well known to UK audiences from his appearances on the MTV reality show Geordie Shore. While that program captured its cast members’ romantic misadventures with tongue firmly in cheek, Corry has treated his musical career with far more seriousness, faithfully updating the sounds of classic house with a sleek contemporary touch. Born in London in 1989, Corry was just a boy when the slinky sounds of UK garage catapulted underground dance music into British pop around the turn of the millennium, but he brings the same crossover spirit to his own productions. While 2015’s “Back Again” and “Light It Up” flirted with big-room EDM, Corry looked to the past for his breakout hit, a 2019 cover of Monsta Boy’s 2000 UK garage classic “Sorry” that paired soulful vocals with crisp, jittery drum programming. He’s pursued a similar approach on subsequent singles like “Lonely” and “Head & Heart”, updating the piano chords and organ stabs of ’90s dance pop with 21st-century production values. While Corry’s timeless hooks are perfect for radio, he’s careful to always have something special for the dance floor. As he told Apple Music: “With all my records I like to do my own VIP mix”—that is, a club-ready version that’s a little tougher and heavier. With reality TV in the rearview, these days Corry’s simply keeping it real. - Apple Music Jax Jones When Duke Dumont topped the UK charts with his single “I Got U” in 2014, many listeners may have assumed that featured artist Jax Jones was the singer. In fact, Jones (born Timucin Aluo in 1987) was a co-writer and producer on the song, and its No. 1 position marked his auspicious debut. Raised in London by a Turkish father, a Malaysian mother and a Nigerian stepfather, the Apple Music Up Next alum grew up on a mix of American hip-hop, UK dance and African music, which might help to explain the mix of styles that swirls through his own tracks: His youthful fondness for Prince shows through in funk-infused cuts like 2015’s “Ocean Drive”, while Afro-Caribbean accents bubble up in 2018’s “Ring Ring”, a lilting tropical-house collaboration with Mabel and Rich the Kid. Though his beats generally follow the punchy cadence of deep-diving future house, he brings a hip-hop producer’s collage sensibility to the mixing desk: Many of his productions slyly interpolate other songs. “You Don’t Know Me”, from 2016, is built around the slinky hook of M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade’s 2005 anthem “Body Language”, while “I Got U” contains a choice bit of Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love”. Whether on his own productions or his remixes for Ellie Goulding, Charli XCX and Missy Elliott, Jones’ habitual blend of pop polish and house groove is unmistakable. “I just thought I'd try it,” he told Apple Music about his relationship to dance music. “House is a collage of everything the creator is. If you love hip-hop, you can chuck that in there. If you love rock, you can chuck that in there too. It took a long time, but now it makes a lot of sense. It’s sample-based and also musical, so it's a very natural fit. Life is beautiful like that. They say you have to, like, get rid of yourself to go to the next level. And I think that’s what happened.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Joel Corry 2019 06 Sorry -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 2020 04 Lonely -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 2020 01 Head & Heart (feat.

September 17, 20215 yr Surely this will still manage to go top 5 at some point, I thought it would have had a shot at it this week
September 17, 20215 yr 06 | 03 | 2nd week Drake featuring Travis Scott Fair Trade Album track from Certified Lover Boy Released: 3rd September 2021 Label: OVO Chart Statistics NE (16/09/2021) | 3-6 Sales: 50k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 33 Sales 03 Audio Streaming 17 Video Streaming Video THVbtGqEO1o Biography A couple of years after he broke into the mainstream with 2009’s So Far Gone, Drake was browsing art in Los Angeles when a piece caught his eye: a big neon sign that read, “LESS DRAKE, MORE TUPAC.” For a minute, he felt angry, embarrassed—he wanted to walk up and rip the sign off the wall. Instead, he bought it. After all, he figured, you get someone hanging your name next to Tupac’s, even if it’s only to take a shot at it? You must be doing something right. Born Aubrey Drake Graham in Toronto in 1986, Drake became—like Tupac—something of a generational voice, a prism for his pop-cultural moment. Was he an R&B singer who rapped or a rapper who sang? Was he really that sad, or just doing a bit? And if it wasn’t a bit, how could this guy—talented, intuitive, hardworking—really be so down? From minute one, there was something a little different about him: He could be confessional, vulnerable, but also incredibly coarse; he could make an earnest commitment one minute (“Take Care”) and be drunk-dialing the next (“Marvins Room”); he could convince you he was an underdog from his perch on top of the world (“Started from the Bottom”). Critics—and he’s had plenty—like to point out that he started as an actor: He played Jimmy Brooks in the Canadian teen show Degrassi: The Next Generation. But most of all, he felt like a person—someone who isn’t canceled by his paradoxes, but defined by them. Though the feelings remain (always feelings, big feelings), the sound—for the most part, courtesy of longtime affiliate Noah “40” Shebib—is always changing: a little dancehall here (“One Dance”), a little house there (“Passionfruit”), some old New Orleans bounce (“Nice for What”), a bit of Wu-style boom-bap (“Started from the Bottom”), some smooth, to-the-minute trap-soul (“Hotline Bling”). Like Kanye, Drake is as much a curator as he is a creator, an artist capable of arranging collaborators from a universe of styles and making them all fit into his personal vision—an approach that has made him one of the most definitive rappers and pop figures of his era. “I obviously spend a lot of time in my own world,” he told Beats 1 host Zane Lowe in 2016. “But when I do take a look at the broader scope of things, it’s often [in the studio]… Even though I don’t directly, literally address things in my music, I’ve always tried to make music that transcends gender, nationality—to try and unify people. Because that’s really what it’s about.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Drake 2009 42 Forever (feat.

His early career was characterized by the D-Block Europe-esque melodic trap of the era, with Cee opting for bouncy instrumentals and Auto-Tune-driven melodies on tracks like "TRANSITION" and "JUGG." However, in 2020 the rapper found himself drawn to a different style entirely -- U.K. drill. Kicking off the year with the guitar-laden "Day in the Life," Cee's skating flows proved a natural match for the genre's faster-paced sonics, which he continued to develop with the gritty "Molly" and a bold showing on Kenny Allstar's Mad About Bars. All prior successes were eclipsed in October of that year, though, when Cee released his breakout hit, "Loading." Landing at number 19 on the U.K. charts, the track secured the rapper his first Top 40 hit with its inventive drill production, active flows, and a magnetic performance on the mic. This success followed him into early 2021: January's "Pinging (6 Figures)" offered a more traditional take on drill, while February's "Commitment Issues" secured Cee a number nine spot on the U.K. charts. His debut mixtape, Wild West, arrived that March. Debuting at number two in the U.K., the tape expanded Cee's vivid drill sound with forward-thinking production and a wider range of narratives. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2020 19 Loading -2- 2021 44 Pinging (6 Figures) -3- 2021 09 Commitment Issues -4- 2021 44 Day In The Life -1- 2021 16 6 For 6 -5- 2021 62 The Great Escape (Blanco & Central Cee) 2021 17 Meant To Be (Stay Flee Get Lizzy, Fredo & Central Cee) 2021 34 Little Bit Of This -1- 2021 05 Obsessed With You -2- 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 2 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 6 x Top 40 | 9 x Top 100 Social Media Central Cee http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png
September 17, 20215 yr 04 | 11 | 5th week Elton John and Dua Lipa Cold Heart 1st single from The Lockdown Sessions Released: 13th August 2021 Label: EMI Chart Statistics NE (26/08/2021) | 33-35-23-11-4 Sales: 60k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 02 Sales 39 Audio Streaming 31 Video Streaming Video qod03PVTLqk Biography Elton John At the height of the fever dream that was Elton John’s life in the ’70s, the singer-songwriter had the optician Dennis Roberts design a pair of giant, sculptural glasses studded with 57 battery-powered lights in the shape of the name Elton—to the tune of about $5,000. Adjusted for inflation, you’re talking about something more like $25,000. But John had a show to put on, and wouldn’t that be something to talk about? The excess was always apparent: the rhinestones, the costumery, the old Hollywood glamour retrofitted for a new, gender-bending world. But beneath the feathers, John’s music—written with the lyricist Bernie Taupin—was direct and unpretentious, the kind of rock ’n’ roll storytelling that met you where you were. Even if you didn’t know exactly what it meant—who is the dancer, and why are they so tiny?—the feeling was immediate, universal. By 1973’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, John said they were writing a couple of songs at breakfast and recording them before lunch. This was pop music, John argued: You weren’t supposed to think about it too much, and god help you if you did. And yet here we are, singing the songs five decades later. Born Reginald Dwight in Pinner, England, in 1947, John took to the piano young, studying on a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music while obsessively listening to Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard. They were so physical, John marvelled—they didn’t just play the piano, they beat it. He started playing in pubs at 15 and, around 20, met Taupin through a want ad in a music magazine. There were good years and bad ones, highs and lows—that handful of Valium before jumping into the swimming pool in 1975, for example, or the disco album, which John himself described as jumping on a dying bandwagon—but he has always endured, emerging from the debauchery of the ’70s and redefinitions of the ’80s bruised but never beaten, a gay icon, AIDS activist, philanthropist, Knight Bachelor, and father of two. In 2018, nearly 50 years after his debut album, he embarked on a three-year farewell tour, and published his first autobiography, Me, in 2019. The host of Apple Music 1’s Rocket Hour, Elton has been the recipient of countless awards (Grammys, Oscars, BRITs, Tonys, Ivors), has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and, in 2020, was awarded the Companion of Honour. - Apple Music Dua Lipa There’s purpose in Dua Lipa’s euphoric pop. “For me, it’s about championing women and putting ourselves in the position of power,” the singer told Apple Music in 2020, ahead of the release of her second album, Future Nostalgia. “I have been inspired by the female alphas that have shown me that we can do it. And that we can wear the pants, you know? We need more of that in music.” Forcing the world to get a little more comfortable with female alphas has been a mission statement for Lipa (born in London to Kosovar Albanian parents in 1995) since her 2017 self-titled debut. It housed the triumphant breakup smash “New Rules”, the self-love anthem “IDGAF” and the assured “Hotter Than Hell”—songs which made it clear that this was no ingénue, but rather an outspoken, effortlessly cool face of pop’s future. Indeed, that status was cemented a year later when Lipa made history as the first female solo artist to receive five BRIT Award nominations. She won two and, in 2019, added two Grammys to her mantelpiece. Despite the success of her debut, Lipa wasn’t interested in recreating its hits. “People always say, ‘The second album is really scary,’ but for me, it’s more scary to go back into the studio and try to create something like ‘New Rules’ or ‘IDGAF’ over and over again,” she said. “I feel like I’d end up in a vicious cycle of trying to get somewhere but never being able to mature as an artist.” And so, to move forward, she pivoted to the past, drawing on disco and funk—and filtering it through her ahead-of-its-time pop—to arrive at Future Nostalgia. Decadent and every bit as empowering as those early hits, it brought Lipa her first Mercury Prize nod, multiple Grammy nominations and a rightful place in pop’s upper echelons. And with it, too, came Lipa’s new purpose. Released just as the world went into lockdown amid the coronavirus crisis, Future Nostalgia became an urgent tonic for tough times—danced to in living rooms across the world. Yet Lipa wasn’t done there: Five months later, she unveiled Club Future Nostalgia, a thrilling remixed version on which the singer teamed up with club queen The Blessed Madonna, and guests including Madonna, Missy Elliott, Gwen Stefani and Mark Ronson, to bring lockdown-fatigued listeners another dose of escapism. “I didn’t think I’d be putting albums out during a global pandemic,” added Lipa. “But it’s just about creating experiences for everyone at home. That’s the most important thing for me now.” All of this, of course, is only just the beginning. “I really feel like I’m finding my feet,” said Lipa. “I feel so proud of Future Nostalgia as a whole and the most confident and the most myself making it. But I’m already planning the next move.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Elton John 1971 04 Your Song -1- MILLIONAIRE 1972 02 Rocket Man -1- MILLIONAIRE 1972 31 Honky Cat -2- 1972 05 Crocodile Rock -1- 1973 04 Daniel -2- 1973 07 Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting -1*- 1973 06 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road -2*- 1973 08 Step Into Christmas -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1974 11 Candle In The Wind -3*- 1974 16 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me -1- 1974 15 The Bitch Is Back -2- 1974 10 Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds -NAS- 1975 12 Philadelphia Freedom (The Elton John Band) -NAS- 1975 22 Someone Saved My Life Tonight -1- 1975 14 Island Girl -1- 1976 07 Pinball Wizard -OST- 1976 01 Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Elton John & Kiki Dee) -NAS- MILLION SELLER 1976 37 Benny And The Jets -4*- 1976 11 Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word -1- 1977 27 Crazy Water -2- 1977 28 Bite Your Lip / Chicago (Elton John & Kiki Dee) -3- 1978 34 Ego -NAS- 1978 15 Part Time Love -1- 1978 04 Song For Guy -2- 1979 01 Are You Ready For Love -1- 1980 33 Little Jeannie -1- 1980 44 Sartorial Eloquence (Don't Ya Wanna Play This Game No More?) -2- 1981 40 I Saw Her Standing There (The Elton John Band & John Lennon) -NAS- 1981 42 Nobody Wins -1- 1982 08 Blue Eyes -1- 1982 51 Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) -2- 1983 05 I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues -1- 1983 04 I'm Still Standing -2- 1983 20 Kiss The Bride -3- 1983 33 Cold As Christmas (In The Middle Of The Year) -4- 1984 07 Sad Songs (Say So Much) -1- 1984 05 Passengers -2- 1984 50 Who Wears These Shoes? -3- 1985 59 Breaking Hearts (Ain't What It Used To Be) -4- 1985 32 Act Of War (Elton John & Millie Jackson) -NAS- 1985 03 Nikita -1- 1985 12 Wrap Her Up -2- 1986 47 Cry To Heaven -3- 1986 45 Heartache All Over The World -1- 1986 44 Slow Rivers (Elton John & Cliff Richard) -2- 1987 59 Flames Of Paradise (Jennifer Rush & Elton John) 1987 85 Your Song (Live) -1- 1988 05 Candle In The Wind (Live) -2- 1988 30 I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That -1- 1988 74 Town Of Plenty -2- 1988 91 A Word In Spanish -3- 1989 41 Through The Storm (Aretha Franklin & Elton John) 1989 45 Healing Hands -1- 1989 55 Sacrifice -2- 1990 01 Sacrifice / Healing Hands -3- 1990 47 Club At The End Of The Street / Whispers -4- 1990 33 You Gotta Love Someone -1- 1990 63 Easier To Walk Away -2- 1991 01 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (George Michael & Elton John) -1^- 1992 10 The One -1- 1992 31 Runaway Train (Elton John & Eric Clapton) -OST- 1992 21 The Last Song -2- 1993 44 Simple Life -3- 1993 02 True Love (Elton John & Kiki Dee) -2^- 1994 07 Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Elton John & RuPaul) -3^- 1994 24 Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing (Marcella Detroit & Elton John) -4^- 1994 14 Can You Feel The Love Tonight -OST- 1994 11 Circle Of Life -OST- 1995 15 Believe -1- 1995 18 Made In England -2- 1996 33 Please -3- 1997 01 Something About The Way You Look Tonight / Candle In The Wind '97 -1- MILLION SELLER 1998 16 Recover Your Soul -2- 1998 32 If The River Can Bend -3- 1999 10 Written In The Stars (Elton John & LeAnn Rimes) -1- 2001 09 I Want Love -1- 2002 24 This Train Don't Stop There Anymore -2- 2002 39 Original Sin -3- 2002 01 Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Blue feat.
