January 2, 20224 yr 51 Ava Max My Head & My Heart 6th single from Heaven & Hell Released: 19th November 2020 Label: Atlantic Records Chart Statistics NE (14/01/2021) | 98-78-77-59-46-35-29-25-19-22-19-18-19-19-19-19-18-20-27-57-65-61-65-79-95-x Sales: 400k+ Certification: Gold 08 Sales 25 Audio Streaming 45 Video Streaming Video w8mBplMtwJ8 Biography Before the thumping club hit "Sweet but Psycho" shot up charts around the world in 2018, Albanian-American artist Ava Max almost quit the music industry: "I was like, if this doesn't do it, then I think I'm going to have to pick another career, because I've been at this for 15 years," she told Apple Music. But her perseverance finally paid off thanks to her slinky hooks and sweet-salty delivery that can both sting and seduce with just one syllable. Born Amanda Koci in 1994, the singer/songwriter grew up in Wisconsin and Virginia before trying her hand in L.A., first at age 14 and then again at 17. She spent the next several years handing out demos and getting rejected by a number of labels and producers. But in 2014, she met producer/songwriter Cirkut, who helped her find her voice. She took on the stage name Ava Max—to honour both feminine and masculine qualities—and solidified the transformation with her asymmetrical "Max Cut" hairstyle. This theme of dichotomy extends into her music, with the cheeky feminist twist of "Sweet but Psycho" and then her 2020 full-length debut, Heaven & Hell. The concept album—split between bright, Gaga-esque disco anthems like "Kings & Queens" and the darker dance-pop fizz of "Salt"—conveys two powerful messages: be yourself and don't give up. "I would not be talking about female empowerment ... or having this much of a voice," she said, "if I didn't go through those obstacles." - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2018 01 Sweet But Psycho -1- MILLIONAIRE 2019 13 So Am I -2- 2019 87 Torn -3- 2020 19 Kings & Queens -4- 2020 93 Who's Laughing Now -5- 2021 18 My Head & My Heart -6- 2021 99 EveryTime I Cry -NAS- 2021 61 The Motto (Tiësto & Ava Max) 2021 89 Christmas Without You -NAS- 1 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 4 x Top 20 | 4 x Top 40 | 9 x Top 100 Social Media Ava Max http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png
January 2, 20224 yr Surprised My Head & My Heart is so high, although it did hang around for a long time in the spring. Decent tune although not one of Ava's best.
January 2, 20224 yr Author Dreams was a nice enough song to get a TikTok boost I guess, certainly are worse songs it could've happened to although it wouldn't've been my choice of FM song to boost. Glad to see MHAMH up here for Ava Max, certainly one of her more interesting songs to date.
January 2, 20224 yr Do you guys think “Streets” by Doja Cat will be in the list somewhere? Fingers crossed.
January 2, 20224 yr 50 Polo G RAPSTAR 3rd single from Hall of Fame Released: 9th April 2021 Label: Columbia Records Chart Statistics NE (22/04/2021) | 3-4-7-9-10-14-12-13-17-42-48-58-68-75-85-94-x Sales: 400k+ Certification: Gold 70 Sales 02 Audio Streaming 02 Video Streaming Video w2IhccXakkE Biography Even in the crowded field of mournful singer-rappers, Polo G stands out. It’s not the depth of his trauma—poverty, hunger, gang violence, drug addiction, and prison, all before his 20th birthday—or even his willingness to share it. It’s his focus. Listen to a Polo record—“Heartless,” “Pop Out,” “Through da Storm,” “Go Stupid”—and you can hear an artist obsessed by craft. The flow is dense but melodic, the lyrics plainspoken but crammed with imagery and detail, more in tune with classic rap virtuosity than the loose impressionism that ruled most of the 2010s. And in a culture of rappers making records back-to-back-to-back to capitalize on interest, Polo has been borderline stingy: no mixtapes, no bloated deluxe editions three months after the initial drop, albums running closer to 40 minutes than 80. He’s said in the past that he doesn’t freestyle, he writes. And when he’s done writing—that’s when he goes to record. And if he doesn’t love what comes out at the session? Like, love-it love? He keeps it to himself. Born Taurus Bartlett in 1999, Polo was raised in Chicago public housing, coming up through the rough, quick-delivery style of local hip-hop known as drill. Like local heroes G Herbo, Lil Durk, and, to a lesser extent, Chief Keef, Polo’s primary subject was pain: personal, racial, generational. But as compelling and tightly wound as his debut was (2019’s Die a Legend), he knew you could only get so much mileage out of the same story, and took his follow-up—2020’s THE GOAT—as a chance to evolve, exploring more pop- and club-oriented sounds while retaining the intensity that makes his performances shine. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2019 41 Pop Out (feat.

January 2, 20224 yr Author This being such an instantly big smash was still one of the more "I'm too old for this" moments of the year. Not that it's a bad song but nothing really special.
January 2, 20224 yr My Head & My Heart is really great actually - at first I thought it was a bi naff with the ATC Europop sample but actually it’s really clever. Rapstar is one of the year’s best of its genre.
January 2, 20224 yr I like this one, it grew on me! Not both his Laroi collabs stalling in the #41-50 section last year :drama: :lol:

January 2, 20224 yr I ended up liking Rapstar quite a bit, definitely a far bigger song than this position indicates
January 2, 20224 yr Author Hmm, I enjoyed this for a short while but the vocal quickly ended up being quite hard to sit through. Glad their other hit has ended up higher.
January 2, 20224 yr So weird to see a Eurovision winner do well nowadays although this Beggin' cover is way too jarring for me unfortunately. Mind you I wasn't a massive fan of the Madcon version either.
