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 Top 100 Chart History 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- MILLIONAIRE 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.

But what’s most amazing about the Texan sweetheart’s Cinderella story is not how she earned that first burst of reality-TV glory but how she extended her 15 minutes to weather setbacks and forge a career as one of music’s best-loved performers. Clearly Clarkson’s power and versatility as a vocalist were equaled by her determination and resilience, qualities she displayed when she shifted away from pop ballads like her Idol signature song “A Moment Like This” toward spunkier declarations of autonomy like 2004’s “Since U Been Gone” and 2011’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” Those hits proved Clarkson was just as happy rocking out as she was demonstrating her fervent love for pop, country, and R&B. They also showed how even major-league song doctors like Max Martin had to conform to Clarkson’s style and sensibility, not the other way around. Her eighth consecutive album to debut in the top three spots on the Billboard album charts, 2017’s Meaning of Life was her most confident and well-rounded statement to date. The single “Heat,” an irresistible gospel-house hit fueled by Clarkson’s unbeatable spirit and limitless energy, proved she could cut it as a club diva, too. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2003 06 Miss Independent -1- 2003 35 Low -2- 2005 05 Since U Been Gone -1- 2005 09 Behind These Hazel Eyes -2- 2005 07 Because Of You -3- 2006 21 Walk Away -4- 2006 22 Breakaway -5- 2007 09 Never Again -1- 2009 01 My Life Would Suck Without You -1- 2009 36 I Do Not Hook Up -2- 2009 66 Already Gone -3- 2011 04 Mr. Know It All -1- 2012 08 What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) -2- 2012 40 Dark Side -3- 2012 51 Catch My Breath -1- 2013 15 Underneath The Tree -1- 2015 07 Heartbeat Song -1- 2015 21 Second Hand Heart (Ben Haenow feat.

December 3, 20214 yr 27 | 21 | 18th week Dermot Kennedy Better Days 1st single from forthcoming studio album Released: 28th July 2021 Label: Riggins Recording / Interscope Records / Island Records Chart Statistics NE (29/07/2021) | 49-46-50-53-53-41-40-35-31-26-24-16-19-19-18-23-21-27 Sales: 200k+ Certification: Silver Status: Standard Chart Ratio 05 Sales 31 Audio Streaming 32 Video Streaming Video 3gqbE9jDI1g Biography Dermot Kennedy’s rip-roaring, free-flowing folk-pop grew out of years singing over rowdy crowds at local bars and open mics and in the streets of Dublin. Born in 1991, the singer/songwriter was raised in the small Irish village of Rathcoole, where he began writing songs as a teenager before studying classical music at Maynooth University and forming folk band Shadows and Dust. He soon set off on his own, busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street, the same spot favored by famous street musicians like Glen Hansard, The Frames frontman and Once actor. Kennedy built up his raspy, throat-ripping howls on the pavement, but found his largest following online after he self-released romantic ballads like 2015’s “An Evening I Will Not Forget” and 2016’s “After Rain”. A larger audience exposed him to a few key producers, including Stephen Kozmeniuk (Koz) and Mike Dean, both of whom have helped enhance the poetic intimacy of Kennedy’s songwriting with rumbling beats and expansive electronic production. Finding a delicate balance between soaring folk and understated hip-hop has been the key to Kennedy’s sound, starting with his 2019 debut album, Without Fear. His strengths come in turning quiet melodies into rousing anthems, including “Power Over Me”, a propulsive paean that captures the intoxicating rush of becoming enraptured, and “Outnumbered”, which feels almost gospel-like in its cathartic chorus. Meanwhile, his voice—a slightly weathered mix of grit and gravel—ties it all together, bringing the raw intensity he learned as a busker to pop charts around the world. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2019 06 Outnumbered -2- MILLIONAIRE 2019 27 Power Over Me -1/3- 2019 89 All My Friends -AT- 2020 12 Giants -4- 2020 05 Paradise (Meduza feat.

One late-night jam session on the road unlocked immediate chemistry. Just before the world slipped into quarantine, Bruno called Anderson: “Remember that idea we had back in 2017? Let’s do it.” One studio session grew into to a months-long collaboration, culminating the “setlist of doom.” Legendary Bootsy Collins christened Silk Sonic and came in as the “special guest host” for An Evening With Silk Sonic, their debut album. Silk Sonic was finally set free on March 5th, 2021. Within less than a month, their debut single “Leave The Door Open” cracked over 230 million streams, 90 million official video views and reeled in rave reviews, including Variety who noted it “could be a Best R&B Song GRAMMY® winner from 1974.” After petitioning the GRAMMY® Awards to #LetSilkSonicThrive, they made their debut performance with “Leave The Door Open” and served up a powerful tribute to Little Richard. - Spotify Top 100 Chart History Bruno Mars 2010 01 Nothin' On You (B.o.B feat.

December 3, 20214 yr Are people streaming them less this year as they’re out more than last year? Probably partly people being out at work listening to radio rather than streaming/out in pubs/bars but think there's also a bit more pessimism around this Christmas with many of us expecting to see family last year and then being thrust into lockdowns and much stricter rules than we expected - with mask mandates coming back in a lot are probably wondering if there'll be be more restrictions so less Christmassy.
