January 21, 20224 yr Author 21 | 16 | 7th week D-Block Europe featuring AJ Tracey Make You Smile Album track from Home Alone 2 Released: 19th November 2021 Label: D-Block Europe Chart Statistics NE (16/12/2021) | 42-25-35-46-15-16-21 Sales: 100k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio __ Sales 12 Audio Streaming __ Video Streaming Video F6lUC0cdBYs Biography “We’re the ones that are pushing this boundary,” D-Block Europe’s Young Adz told Apple Music. “People who are signing urban music over here—they call it urban, we call it pop in the streets—that ain’t street music. We’re doing street, UK, wavy music, front-lining it.” They might not consider themselves pop, but by the most literal definition, DBE are just that. Chart positions, sold-out arenas and a nomination for the 2020 BRIT Award for British Group (before they’d even released a debut album) all make them one of UK rap’s most popular acts. D-Block Europe was originally a collective that called upon various London MCs, but Adz and childhood friend Dirtbike LB have emerged as both the engine room and executive board of the operation. They met at Sedgehill School in South London, where Adz was dropping mixtapes from the age of 13. He signed an ultimately fruitless major-label deal at 15 before coming under the patronage of NY rap heavyweight Jadakiss, who offered features, support slots and license to use The LOX’s D-Block Records name. With a series of self-released singles and mixtapes, Young Adz and Dirtbike LB took their place at UK rap’s top table during the late 2010s. Leavening trap’s chilly textures and portraits of road life with sticky Auto-Tuned hooks, their music is notable for its nimble wordplay and candour. While D-Block quickly gathered notoriety for their unfiltered bedroom braggadocio (“Kitchen Kings”), their willingness to open up about mental health and therapy (“Prescription Drugs”) has made them a standout presence in UK rap. It’s all been done independently by the industrious duo (63 new tracks released across three mixtapes during 2019 alone). They’ve continuously waved away offers from labels, confident that no one can guide their career as well as they can. Every award, Top 5 release or filled arena only strengthens their self-belief. “When you see Messi kick ball, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” said Young Adz. “Sometimes, the people have to choose you because they’re like, ‘We ain’t never going to see this again—from their sounds, from what they talk about.’ Our personalities shine through our music. We’re bigger personalities than rappers.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History D-Block Europe 2018 49 Gucci Mane (D-Block Europe & Yxng Bane) -1- 2018 35 Nassty (D-Block Europe, Young Adz, Dirtbike LB & Lil Pino) -NAS- 2018 80 Tell The Truth (The Plug presents D-Block Europe & Rich The Kid) 2019 16 Kitchen Kings -1- 2019 62 Kettle Pouring -AT- 2019 70 Running Man -AT- 2019 20 Home P*ssy -1- 2019 53 Rich (The Plug presents D-Block Europe & Offset) 2019 16 Nookie (feat.

January 21, 20224 yr Author 20 | 18 | 10th week Imagine Dragons, JID and League of Legends Enemy Soundtrack single from Arcane League of Legends Released: 28th October 2021 Label: KIDinaKORNER / Interscope Records Chart Statistics NE (25/11/2021) | 66-40-34-40-37-46-53-18-18-20 Sales: 100k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 41 Sales 18 Audio Streaming __ Video Streaming Video D9G1VOjN_84 Biography Imagine Dragons "In 2011, Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons were pulling six-hour shows at local casinos for just enough to cover rent and Taco Bell; a year-and-change later, they were Platinum. Formed in Provo, Utah, by a group of high school and college friends, the band self-released three EPs before making the leap to Interscope Records in 2012, delivering their full-length debut, Night Visions, later that year. Led by a pair of explosive singles (“It’s Time” and “Radioactive”), the band went on to become one of the more singular successes of the 2010s, leveraging stadium-ready indie rock with synth-pop, dubstep, stomping folk, and hints of New Wave—a sound that jumped out of speakers like a bright neon light. They followed up at a steady clip (2015’s Smoke + Mirrors, 2017’s Evolve, 2018’s Origins), refining their sound without dulling its cathartic edge. Talking with Apple Music about their 2018 track “Zero,” vocalist Dan Reynolds described the role of empathy in both writing and performance—a cornerstone of the band’s success. “I carried around this big tenor saxophone that was bigger than me,” he said, remembering early adolescence. “I was, like, 5-foot-2; I was a tiny kid. So, for me, I look out and I see these people in the crowd and I’m like, Oh, you’re going through that right now. Give it time—you’re gonna come into your own and blossom. So, for me, this song is for all those people.” - Apple Music JID On “151 Rum,” the pyrotechnic, lyrical master class from JID’s chameleonic 2018 release, DiCaprio 2, the ATL MC raps, “Don’t compare me to no other other n****s.” On its face, it’s the sort of weightless statement thrown out by rappers since rap began, but JID’s slow-building career and versatility from album to album, track to track, gives the line an urgency and power: No one in the game raps quite like him. Born Destin Choice Route in 1990, JID came up with other Atlanta mainstays like EARTHGANG, 6LACK, and Hollywood JB. His first mixtapes brought him local acclaim, and in the early 2010s, his hyperactive rhyme scheme made him a standout amongst the narcotic Auto-Tune of other ATL staples and up-and-comers. J. Cole and Dreamville Records had been gathering a stable of lyrically obsessed, boundary-pushing MCs, so inviting JID and his kaleidoscopic vision of rap to the Dreamville cohort was an obvious choice. Route signed with the label in 2017 off the strength of mixtapes like 2015’s DiCaprio and 2016’s Bears Like This Too Much with his Spillage Village collective. But under Cole’s tutelage, JID found confidence in his underdog status as Atlanta’s wordy, hyper-intelligent lyricist. He earned comparisons to Kendrick Lamar on his label debut, The Never Story, occasionally mirroring K-Dot’s nasally flow on songs like “Despacito Too” from DiCaprio 2 while firmly establishing himself as a wholly unique stylist. Over bass-heavy, psychedelic beats, JID puts an old-school-style emphasis on incisive lyrics, energizing fans and those who touch the mic. And though he was once a student of J. Cole’s hip-hop academy, JID’s emphatically gunning to become a peer—just don’t compare him to any contemporaries. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Imagine Dragons 2012 12 Radioactive -1- MILLIONAIRE 2012 37 Hear Me -EP- 2013 13 Demons -4- MILLIONAIRE 2013 23 It's Time -2- 2013 34 On Top Of The World -3- 2014 54 Warriors -OST- 2015 91 Shots -2- 2015 27 I Bet My Life -1- 2016 11 Sucker For Pain (Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine Dragons with Logic, Ty Dolla $ign & X Ambassadors) -OST- 2017 42 Believer -1- MILLIONAIRE 2017 20 Thunder -2- MILLIONAIRE 2017 93 Whatever It Takes -3- 2018 98 Next To Me -4- 2018 54 Born To Be Yours (Kygo & Imagne Dragons) 2018 49 Natural -1- 2018 44 Bad Liar -2- 2021 100 Follow You -1- 2021 18 Enemy (Imagine Dragons, JID & League of Legends) -OST- 0 x #1 | 0 x Top 5 | 0 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 9 x Top 40 | 18 x Top 100 JID 2021 18 Enemy (Imagine Dragons, JID & League of Legends) 0 x #1 | 0 x Top 5 | 0 x Top 10 | 1 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 1 x Top 100 League of Legends 2021 18 Enemy (Imagine Dragons, JID & League of Legends) 0 x #1 | 0 x Top 5 | 0 x Top 10 | 1 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 1 x Top 100 Social Media Imagine Dragons JID League of Legends http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

January 21, 20224 yr I'm loving that Scouse accent. Now THIS is something different. Yes - it's nice to have all the regions represented in the chart. Especially Scouse rap.
January 21, 20224 yr Make You Smile is quite nice; definitely growing on me. Did you need to have a hearing test appointment? :rolleyes: Edited January 21, 20224 yr by Chartfridays
January 21, 20224 yr "Down Under" sounds all over the place in terms of production and sounds cheap even. Don't understand how it's took off so quickly!
January 21, 20224 yr I really quite like this remix of 'Down Under', although it shouldn't work on paper. Much rather something like this than 'Friday' for example.
January 21, 20224 yr Author 18 | 24 | 9th week Adele Oh My God 2nd single from 30 Released: 19th November 2021 Label: Melted Stone Chart Statistics NE (02/12/2021) | 2-6-23-33-51-65-24-24-18 Sales: 100k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 39 Sales 02 Audio Streaming 24 Video Streaming Video niG3YMU6jFk Biography Dozens of British artists share Adele’s origins—BRIT School, MySpace, pop stardom—but it takes rare talent to have your voice declared timeless in your career’s first flush. Adele honed hers as a kid in her North London bedroom, imitating Etta James every night for an hour. But as soon as she made her televised debut in 2007 (on Later...With Jools Holland), all potential comparisons evaporated: This girl with the whopping hoop earrings and a pub landlady’s brashness had something unique. Heartbreak, indignation, and regret all found a natural home in her regal mezzo-soprano, the instrument that powered her 2008 debut album, 19, and took influence from the American South on 2011’s 21. Both of these albums broke records for breaking records, and made a subsequent operation on Adele’s vocal cords a matter of global import. She recovered immaculately—for proof, watch her comeback performance of “Rolling in the Deep” at the 2012 Grammys—and it took just one word to reintroduce her in 2015. “Hello,” she sang during an X Factor ad break, unveiling her world-conquering single and third album, 25, in the process. Like its predecessors, 25 upended 21st-century metrics and made Adele the first artist to earn the top-selling album of a calendar year three times. She’s now a mother, and her twenties are behind her. But if any voice were ever capable of carrying its owner into maturity, it’s hers. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2008 02 Chasing Pavements -1- MILLIONAIRE 2008 19 Hometown Glory -3- 2008 18 Cold Shoulder -2- 2008 04 Make You Feel My Love -4- MILLION SELLER 2011 02 Rolling In The Deep -1- MILLION SELLER 2011 01 Someone Like You -2- MILLION SELLER 2011 11 Set Fire To The Rain -3- MILLIONAIRE 2011 62 Turning Tables -AT- 2011 85 Rumour Has It -4- 2012 99 One And Only -AT- 2012 37 I Can't Make You Love Me -AT- 2012 02 Skyfall -OST- MILLIONAIRE 2015 01 Hello -1- MILLIONAIRE 2015 09 When We Were Young -2- MILLIONAIRE 2015 64 Million Years Ago -AT- 2016 41 All I Ask -AT- 2016 05 Send My Love (To Your New Lover) -3- MILLIONAIRE 2016 39 Water Under The Bridge -4- 2021 76 Love In The Dark -AT- 2021 01 Easy On Me -1- 2021 02 Oh My God -2- 2021 04 I Drink Wine -AT- 3 x #1 | 9 x Top 5 | 10 x Top 10 | 13 x Top 20 | 15 x Top 40 | 21 x Top 100 Social Media Adele http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png
January 21, 20224 yr Still haven’t made up my mind about Down Under whether it’s a mess or an interesting reworking.
January 21, 20224 yr "Down Under" sounds all over the place in terms of production and sounds cheap even. Don't understand how it's took off so quickly! Colin Hay jumping on it probably helps!!!
January 21, 20224 yr I actually now think 'I Drink Wine' is a far better song even if too long for a single.
