The group consisted of lead singer Veronica Bennett (later known as Ronnie Spector), her older sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley. They had sung together since they were teenagers, then known as "The Darling Sisters". Signed first by Colpix Records in 1961, they moved to Phil Spector's Philles Records in March 1963 and changed their name to "The Ronettes". One of the most popular groups of the 1960s, the Ronettes placed nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100, five of which became Top 40 hits. Among their most famous songs are "Be My Baby", "Baby, I Love You", "(The Best Part of) Breakin' Up" and "Walking in the Rain". In 1964, the group released their only studio album, Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica. That year, the Rolling Stones were their opening act when they toured the UK. The Ronettes opened for the Beatles on their 1966 US tour, becoming the only girl group to tour with them, before splitting up in 1967. In the 1970s, the group was briefly revived as Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes. Their song "Be My Baby" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Rolling Stone ranked their album Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica No. 422 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The Ronettes were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 1963 04 Be My Baby -1- 1964 11 Baby, I Love You -2- 1964 43 (The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up -3- 1964 35 Do I Love You? -4- 2013 23 Sleigh Ride -AT- 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 2 x Top 20 | 4 x Top 40 | 5 x Top 100 Social Media The Ronettes http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 | 26 | 84th week John Lennon, Yoko Ono and The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir Happy Xmas (War Is Over) Non-album single Released: 24th November 1972 Label: Apple Chart Statistics NE (09/12/1972) | 23-16-4-4-6-15-33-46-x RE (04/01/1975) | 48-x RE (20/12/1980) | 45-4-4-2-3-9-23-49-69-x RE (19/12/1981) | 63-28-28-36-74-x RE (25/12/1982) | 56-56-62-x RE (24/12/1983) | 92-92-x RE (22/12/1984) | 92-91-x RE (20/12/2003) | 33-49-55-x RE (25/09/2004) | 88-96-x RE (15/12/2007) | 60-40-41-87-x RE (13/12/2008) | 100-67-78-x RE (19/12/2009) | 92-97-76-x RE (18/12/2010) | 98-94-84-x RE (17/12/2011) | 96-95-78-x RE (15/12/2012) | 81-92-94-x RE (28/12/2013) | 88-x RE (20/12/2014) | 94-x RE (31/12/2015) | 69-x RE (15/12/2016) | 84-83-64-49-x RE (14/12/2017) | 76-35-35-21-x RE (13/12/2018) | 58-42-29-18-x RE (12/12/2019) | 68-56-53-28-x RE (03/12/2020) | 87-40-29-30-21-19-x RE (09/12/2021) | 53-35-34-26-22 Sales: 1,600k+ Certification: Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 02 Sales 13 Audio Streaming __ Video Streaming Video g_kj60DIq2M Biography "The Plastic Ono Band is a conceptual band," said John Lennon to writer David Sheff in 1980. "There is no Plastic Ono Band. It's just an idea...there is no Plastic Ono Band like there is a Beatles or another group. That's why there's never the same musicians twice." While Lennon coined the phrase Plastic Ono Band on a whim, he stuck with the moniker through most of his solo career, applying it to whoever was backing him up at a given moment, and his wife and creative partner Yoko Ono also used the name, and continues to use it into the 21st century. The Plastic Ono Band rubric made its debut with the release of John Lennon's single "Give Peace a Chance," which was recorded during Lennon and Ono's "Bed-In for Peace" in Montreal, Canada following their marriage in June of 1969. With a handful of well-known friends in attendance (and Tommy Smothers joining Lennon on acoustic guitar), the performance was captured on a portable recording rig and Lennon opted to release it under the name the Plastic Ono Band, inspired by a set of plastic music stands he was using. (One of Yoko Ono's compositions, "Remember Love," appeared on the flip side.) In September, Lennon and Ono performed at the Toronto Rock & Roll Revival Festival, where the couple's quickly assembled backing band (Eric Clapton on guitar, Klaus Voormann on bass, and Alan White on drums) was again billed as the Plastic Ono Band, and their performance was released on the LP Live Peace in Toronto 1969. (An expanded version of the band from Live Peace in Toronto, including George Harrison, Delaney & Bonnie, and Bobby Keys, appeared at a UNICEF benefit in London the following December.) And Lennon would release a handful of singles under the Plastic Ono Band banner between 1969 and 1971, including "Cold Turkey," "Instant Karma," "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," and "Power to the People." In December 1970, Lennon and Ono reminded the world the Plastic Ono Band was a joint project by simultaneously releasing John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, two albums that were recorded with the same set of musicians during the same set of recording sessions. For the 1972 album Some Time in New York City, Lennon and Ono used the Plastic Ono Band moniker while also crediting Elephant's Memory, the New York-based band who were collaborating with the couple at the time, essentially giving the musicians two identities on one album. In 1973, Ono would release two more albums as Plastic Ono Band projects, Approximate Infinite Universe and Feeling the Space, while Lennon began playing with the band name in the '70s; 1973's Mind Games introduced the Plastic U.F.Ono Band, and 1974's Walls & Bridges featured a credit for the Plastic Ono Nuclear Band. When Lennon and Ono returned to the music scene in 1980 after several years away from the spotlight, they opted to simply use their given names, and the Plastic Ono Band label was retired until 2009, when Yoko Ono released her album Between My Head and the Sky as Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band (with Sean Lennon as part of the group). Ono used the same billing for 2013's Take Me to the Land of Hell, and she's used the moniker to credit her backing musicians at a number of live performances from 2009 onward. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History John Lennon 1970 05 Instant Karma (John Lennon & Yoko Ono with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1971 07 Power To The People (John Lennon with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1973 26 Mind Games -1- 1974 36 Whatever Gets You Thru The Night (John Lennon with The Plastic Ono Nuclear Band) -1- 1975 23 No 9 Dream -2- 1975 30 Stand By Me -1- 1975 01 Imagine -1- MILLION SELLER 1980 01 (Just Like) Starting Over -1- 1981 01 Woman -2- 1981 30 Watching The Wheels -3- 1981 40 I Saw Her Standing There (The Elton John Band & John Lennon) 1982 41 Love -1- 1984 06 Nobody Told Me -1- 1984 32 Borrowed Time -2- 1984 88 Steppin' Out (John Lennon & Yoko Ono) -3- 1985 65 Jealous Guy -1- 1988 45 Imagine / Jealous Guy 3 x #1 | 5 x Top 5 | 7 x Top 10 | 7 x Top 20 | 14 x Top 40 | 18 x Top 100 Yoko Ono 1970 05 Instant Karma (John Lennon & Yoko Ono with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1981 35 Walking On Thin Ice -NAS- 1984 88 Steppin' Out (John Lennon & Yoko Ono) 0 x #1 | 2 x Top 5 | 2 x Top 10 | 2 x Top 20 | 3 x Top 40 | 4 x Top 100 The Plastic Ono Band 1969 02 Give Peace A Chance -NAS- 1969 14 Cold Turkey -NAS- 1970 05 Instant Karma (John Lennon & Yoko Ono with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1971 07 Power To The People (John Lennon with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 0 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 5 x Top 40 | 5 x Top 100 The Harlem Community Choir 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) MILLIONAIRE 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 John Lennon Yoko Ono The Plastic Ono Band The Harlem Community Choir http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 | 24 | 109th week Slade Merry Xmas Everybody http://is3.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music/v4/66/f0/95/66f095f1-75b5-2b51-6b7f-ff99da62ff47/source/170x170bb.jpg Non-album single Released: 7th December 1973 Label: Whild John Music Chart Statistics NE (15/12/1973) | 1-1-1-1-1-3-12-22-40-x RE (27/12/1980) | 70-70-x RE (19/12/1981) | 56-32-32-59-x RE (25/12/1982) | 67-67-72-x RE (10/12/1983) | 72-35-20-20-20-83-x RE (15/12/1984) | 67-47-48-67-x RE (07/12/1985) | 92-77-51-48-52-x RE (20/12/1986) | 88-71-76-x RE (23/12/1989) | 99-x RE (22/12/1990) | 97-93-x RE (02/12/2006) | 83-54-22-23-21-34-x RE (15/12/2007) | 37-22-20-63-x RE (06/12/2008) | 94-49-32-41-59-x RE (12/12/2009) | 54-41-45-35-x RE (11/12/2010) | 59-51-52-50-x RE (10/12/2011) | 63-33-37-40-x RE (08/12/2012) | 80-35-39-48-x RE (14/12/2013) | 57-49-51-92-x RE (13/12/2014) | 68-56-55-58-x RE (17/12/2015) | 81-71-55-91-x RE (15/12/2016) | 52-53-39-30-x RE (14/12/2017) | 62-30-29-16-x RE (13/12/2018) | 57-58-36-17-x RE (12/12/2019) | 47-36-31-19-x RE (03/12/2020) | 69-32-26-25-17-18-x RE (09/12/2021) | 48-33-30-24-21 Sales: 2,100k+ Certification: 2x Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 01 Sales 13 Audio Streaming 33 Video Streaming Video BpfHSqLXePI Biography Slade are an English rock band formed in Wolverhampton in 1966. They rose to prominence during the glam rock era in the early 1970s, achieving 17 consecutive top 20 hits and six number ones on the UK Singles Chart. The British Hit Singles & Albums names them the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter the charts at number one; all six of the band's chart-toppers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea. As of 2006, total UK sales stand at 6,520,171, and their best-selling single, "Merry Xmas Everybody", has sold in excess of one million copies. According to the 1999 BBC documentary It's Slade, the band have sold over 50 million records worldwide. Following an unsuccessful move to the U.S. in 1975, Slade's popularity in the UK waned, but was unexpectedly revived in 1980 when they were last-minute replacements for Ozzy Osbourne at the Reading Rock Festival. The band later acknowledged this to have been one of the highlights of their career. The original line-up split in 1992, but reformed later in the year as Slade II. The band have continued, with a number of line-up changes, to the present day. They have also shortened the group name back to Slade. A number of artists from diverse genres have cited Slade as an influence, including Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Undertones, The Runaways, The Clash, Kiss, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Def Leppard, Twisted Sister, The Replacements, Cheap Trick, Oasis, Quiet Riot (who covered Slade songs for two of their three biggest hits) and Britny Fox. The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Music tells of Holder's powerful vocals, guitarist Dave Hill's equally arresting dress sense, and the deliberate misspelling of their song titles (such as "Cum On Feel the Noize" and "Mama Weer All Crazee Now") for which they became well known. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 1971 16 Get Down And Get With It -1- 1971 01 Coz I Luv You -2- 1972 04 Look Wot You Dun -3- 1972 01 Take Me Back 'Ome -NAS- 1972 01 Mama Weer All Crazee Now -1- 1972 02 Gudbuy T'Jane -2- 1973 01 Cum On Feel The Noize -1- 1973 01 Skweeze Me Pleeze Me -2- 1973 02 My Friend Stan -1- 1973 01 Merry Xmas Everybody -NAS- MILLION SELLER 1974 03 Everyday -2- 1974 03 The Bangin' Man -1- 1974 02 Far Far Away -2- 1975 15 How Does It Feel? -3- 1975 07 Thanks For The Memory (Wham Bam Thank You Mam) -4- 1975 11 In For A Penny -1- 1976 11 Let's Call It Quits -2- 1977 48 Gypsy Road Hog -1- 1977 32 My Baby Left Me -NAS- 1980 44 Slade Alive At Reading '80 -EP- 1981 10 We'll Bring The House Down -1- 1981 60 Wheels Ain't Coming Down -2- 1981 29 Lock Up Your Daughters -1- 1982 51 Ruby Red -2- 1982 50 (And Now The Waltz) C'est La Vie -1- 1983 02 My Oh My -2- 1984 07 Run Runaway -3- 1984 15 All Join Hands -1- 1985 60 The Seven Year Itch -2- 1985 50 Mysterious Mizster Jones -3- 1985 54 Do You Believe In Miracles -1- 1987 73 Still The Same -1- 1987 95 That's What Friends Are For -2- 1987 94 You Boyz Make Big Noize -3- 1991 21 Radio Wall Of Sound -1- 1998 30 Merry Xmas Everybody '98 Remix (Slade vs. Flush) -NAS- 6 x #1 | 13 x Top 5 | 16 x Top 10 | 21 x Top 20 | 25 x Top 40 | 36 x Top 100 Social Media Slade http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

Born in London in 1985, she attended the prestigious BRIT School during her teens, eventually leaving the performing-arts institution to pursue music on her own terms. That led her to the third season of The X Factor, where her passionate audition version of "Over the Rainbow" invigorated the audience and the judges, jump-starting a run on the show that ended with her winning a record deal. Lewis' strong soprano was an ideal fit for the swaying soul/R&B that dominated radio in the mid-'00s, and her luminous 2007 single "Bleeding Love" topped the charts in 35 countries. Since then, in addition to acting, modeling, and animal-rights activism, she's appeared all over the musical spectrum: Belting the theme for James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar in 2009, collaborating with Swedish electronic-music powerhouse Avicii on the thumping "Collide" in 2011, and duetting with Cuban-American superstar Pitbull on the fiery "Amore'' in 2018.

Influenced by Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse and Carole King, Dean’s own take on music is autobiographical and vulnerable. In 2019, she released her debut EP, Ok Love You Bye, which delved into the challenging aspects of dating, like on the meditative “Password Change”. The following year, Dean dropped her follow-up EP, What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays?, a concise but evocative set of songs brimming with celestial melodies and confessional lyrics.
