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 Top 100 Chart History 2019 80 Juicy (Doja Cat & Tyga) -1- 2020 02 Say So -2- MILLIONAIRE 2020 24 Boss Bitch -OST- 2020 62 Like That (feat.

January 2, 20224 yr the power of Doja and TikTok making Streets big, it doesn't remotely sound like a chart hit :lol:
January 2, 20224 yr 47 Dave and Stormzy Clash 1st single from We're All Alone In This Together Released: 9th July 2021 Label: Dave / Neighbourhood Recordings Chart Statistics NE (22/07/2021) | 3-8-2-4-6-8-12-14-15-13-17-18-16-45-55-63-69-71-78-82-x Sales: 400k+ Certification: Gold 23 Sales 03 Audio Streaming 02 Video Streaming Video oFqVvjq6BGM Biography Dave Challenging power and perception with a free-spoken approach to rap, Dave has indelibly amplified hip-hop’s voice in Britain. Born David Orobosa Omoregie in Brixton, London in 1998, Dave suddenly implanted himself in the UK rap scene in 2016, first with the electric grime alliance “Thiago Silva” with AJ Tracey and then when Drake jumped on the remix of the velvety “Wanna Know” from Dave’s first EP, Six Paths. Rebuffing label advances to pursue his career independently, he demonstrated a self-reliant streak on releases such as his 2017 EP Game Over, whose “Question Time,” a scathing attack on Theresa May’s Conservative government, garnered him an Ivor Novello songwriting award. Dave’s full-length debut, the Mercury Prize winner Psychodrama, followed in 2019; epitomizing his achingly honest rap style, it laid bare personal vulnerabilities while challenging institutional racism in a provocative fashion rarely heard in British rap. The centerpiece of the lavishly soundscaped album was “Black,” a heart-wrenching portrait of the prejudice affronting Black lives. At the 2020 BRIT Awards, where Psychodrama won Album of the Year, Dave started his performance of “Black” by accompanying himself on piano and ended it by excoriating British Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a “real racist” and executing a perfect mic drop. - Apple Music Stormzy Grime attracts big personalities, but even by the genre’s imposing standards, Stormzy isn’t so much a rapper as a force of nature: a 6’5” lyrical whirlwind boasting a powerhouse voice and one of the most impressive ascents in pop music, stepping up to headline Glastonbury within five years of his debut EP. Born Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr. in 1993, Stormzy was still a boy when grime was in its infancy, and he came up battling fellow teens at youth centers in his native Croydon, London. By the time he was 20, he had launched his “WickedSkengMan” series, uploading freestyles over classic grime beats, and he swiftly developed a rep for his tough staccato flow and pugnacious attitude. Fittingly, Stormzy performed his 2015 single “Shut Up,” one of his earliest hits, at a heavyweight boxing match. “I set trends, dem man copy/They catch feelings, I catch bodies,” he raps on the song, and it’s true that when he throws down the gauntlet, he tends to make history: 2015’s “WickedSkengMan 4” was the first freestyle ever to break into the UK Top 40, and in 2017, his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, was the first grime album to go to No. 1 in the UK charts, 14 years after Dizzee Rascal’s Mercury Prize-winning Boy in da Corner first carved out a space in UK pop for the upstart underground genre. But Stormzy quicky proved himself interested in more than just besting his rivals, instead using his platform to become the voice of conscience for young and marginalized people across the UK. At Glastonbury 2017, he delivered a moving tribute to the victims of that summer’s Grenfell Tower fire; at the 2018 BRIT Awards, he aimed a scathing freestyle at Prime Minister Theresa May, whose government he accused of negligence after the fire. Musically, too, Stormzy has shown a willingness to push beyond grime’s traditional limits, dipping into R&B and gospel as he vacillates between taunts and introspection. “I would be a bit fake if I just gave you pure grime albums,” Stormzy told Apple Music. “I’m going to embrace my musicality because that is true to me as well. I love melody and I love R&B and I love pop music. Bruv, I’m going to do whatever I like.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Dave 2017 51 Wanna Know (feat.

January 2, 20224 yr Clash was another big grower for me. Thought it was pretty trash when I first heard it but actually ended up quite liking it.
January 2, 20224 yr Author I do quite enjoy this even if Dave sounds bored on it. Ended up playing Verdansk more once the album came out though.
January 2, 20224 yr I'm still not sure what Clash is about but don't have that much inclination to find out, the production doesn't really draw me in either.
January 2, 20224 yr 46 Lil Tjay and 6LACK Calling My Phone 4th single from Destined 2 Win Released: 12th February 2021 Label: Columbia Records Chart Statistics NE (25/02/2021) | 2-2-3-5-6-9-12-11-14-23-26-54-59-73-82-80-97-x Sales: 500k+ Certification: Gold 40 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 01 Video Streaming Video zzd4ydafGR0 Biography Lil Tjay Lil Tjay is stuck between two worlds. He grew up in the South Bronx, where the tradition of hustlers-turned-rappers is less a myth than an everyday reality. Born in 2001, though, Tjay was also deeply obsessed with the culture of the internet; his two favourite artists are Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne. This duality is his greatest strength. The MC, born Tione Jayden Merritt, isn’t afraid to rap about both sides of his childhood. “I was just an innocent kid, but I still had that street view,” he explained to Apple Music. “I had that balance. I just rap about things that I’ve been through.” His first hit, 2018’s “Resume,” was a SoundCloud sensation, released when Tjay was just a teen. He credits his sharpened pen to his stint in prison on robbery charges a year earlier. On the track, he touches on the fragility of his success when he raps, “I bug out on all instrumentals/It might be my time, but I can't go.” As his career progressed, though, he became more comfortable with his fame and supplemented his melodic flow and infectious, unforgettable bars with talk of designer clothes and foreign cars. His biggest hits, like “F.N” from 2019’s True 2 Myself, move from lamenting his past to celebrating the present. “Cartier glasses, 20/20, got a clear view/You a man, I don't fear you/Act up, we gon' mask up, boy, I dare you,” he raps. Lil Tjay is honest in discussing his path because he knows it’s what makes him him. “All my songs are relatable to my story,” he told Apple Music. “I just hope they’re relatable to my fans, too.” - Apple Music 6LACK In his Up Next interview for Apple Music, 6LACK remembered the night he pulled up next to a car and heard the driver playing his music. Not talking. Not on her phone. Just nodding her head, chilling, connecting. He’d had some lean years—at one point, he’d thought about scavenging food from the trash. So to get a glimmer that all of his work had been worth it? That a quiet kid from East Atlanta who felt like music was his only mode of expression was getting heard? Even he had to admit that was pretty cool. “One of those moments where it’s just, like, ‘OK, that’s kind of dope.’” Born Ricardo Valentine, Jr., in 1992, 6LACK—pronounced “black”, but a reference to the police precinct covering East Atlanta—started battle-rapping as a kid. As he developed, his sound got softer but also more focused, splitting the difference between the muscle of trap and the minimal side of modern R&B. Like Drake or The Weeknd, he can be cold. But his best tracks—“Unfair”, “Nonchalant”, “Outside”—mix that coldness with a sense of modesty and self-reflection that make him relatable even when he’s being a little unlikeable. Or, as he puts it on “Sorry”, “I’ma write when I’m wrong.” Yet however painful his experiences have been, turning them into art makes them worth it. “In, like, 25 years when I’m 50 and wrinkly as s**t,” he says, “I’ll know this was my favourite part.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Lil Tjay 2019 81 Slide (French Montana feat.

January 2, 20224 yr This is a pretty poor run of songs oops! Calling My Phone is sooo dull. Didn’t like any of Dave’s latest offerings.
January 2, 20224 yr Author now this going straight in at #2 was the most WTF moment in the chart this year for such a lifeless song.
