Biography

 

Lizzo is here to let it out. Body positivity, queerness, the embrace of the self in all its possibilities: For her, the freer, the better. Yes, she’s a singer. And a rapper, and—wouldn’t you know it—a pretty impressive flautist. But she’s also an emblem for the idea that social progress starts from within, that her loving herself (and you loving you) is the first step to fighting the forces that keep marginalised people—Black, female, LGBTQ and otherwise—down. “I think that there’s a wave right now in human experience where we want to feel good, and we’re seeking out the practice of self-care and self-love,” she told Apple Music in 2020. “I think my music just happened to ebb and flow with the way we’re evolving as a people and a culture.”

 

Born Melissa Jefferson in 1988, she grew up between Detroit and Houston, making her way through the Minneapolis indie community in her early twenties. She worked steadily through the 2010s, forging a confident, outsized blend of gospel, R&B, hip-hop and pop before breaking through with 2019’s Cuz I Love You. She could be funny (“I just took a DNA test/Turns out I’m 100% that bitch,” she raps at the beginning of “Truth Hurts”), vulnerable (“Cuz I Love You”), quirky (“Batches & Cookies”) and empowering (“Juice”). In every case, though, her music brings a muchness, a saturated sense of vibrancy and humour and soul and self-assuredness that just kinda makes you feel good. It’s hard to argue it when, upon accepting the 2019 Apple Music Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, she said emphatically, “I deserve it!” - Apple Music

A little bit of chart Trivia if Sam Ryder enters the chart at #1 he will be joint highest climber with Jess Glynne from #78

 

78-1

2015 Jess Glynne – Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself

2622 Sam Ryder – SPACE MAN

 

The singles chart used to be a Top 200 before the streaming era - these songs have made big jumps to number 1:

 

200-1 - Mandy - Westlife

196-1 - Unbreakable - Westlife

191-1 - Heaven - DJ Sammy

You wait for weeks for something to break up the Top 2, and 3 songs come along at once. (Even if 2 of those songs end up as non-movers.)
Here for the tension of the #1 reveal x

I bet Joseph already knows it but it's refusing to tell us. :D

Really? I think they're actually quite diverse, it's not like Drake or something.

 

'Die Hard' and 'N95' in particular are almost polar opposites of each other sonically :lol:

Just remembering that Sam Ryder post saying he likes the number 2 and I'm discovered he's #22 in Ireland today. Just hope he is number 1 in the UK not number 2. :P

 

why did you have to say this lol! :cry:

The moment of truth arriving :P

Here for this radio edit and the song having a potentially long run at #3.

Not so here for Cat's disowning of this radio edit or the newly lowercase title.

Haven't made my mind up about her new song yet.

Biography

 

In 2020, as the world went into lockdown, Sam Ryder uploaded the first of his now infamous covers. They quickly caught the attention of some famous fans (think Justin Bieber, Sia, Alicia Keys and Elton John) – with compilations of his videos appearing on The Ellen Show, BBC’s Newsbeat and more. As the videos kept coming, so did the fans – with his socials standing at 10 million at the end of that year. Fast forward a year and Sam Ryder stood with 16 million social followers and was crowned as TikTok’s most popular UK artist account for the second year in a row (beating off stiff competition from Ed Sheeran). In 2021, Sam released his 5-song EP ‘The Sun’s Gonna Rise’ including track 'Whirlwind’ – that begins to describe the journey that Sam has been on over the past year. After spending much of his adult life touring, writing and performing in bands, living in Hawaii and owning a vegan coffee shop; he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a solo artist. Sam's first event at London’s Courtyard Theatre in October sold out in under ten minutes, nearly as quickly as his first full sold-out UK tour earlier this year. With global streams now at 100+ million, Sam stands ready to make his first live foray into Europe and beyond, as well as an array of summer of festivals. Then there’s the very special release of Sam's new song SPACE MAN, that you can listen to now! In 2022, world domination might not be a stretch too far for this incredible talent... - Wikipedia

Biography

 

In a 2019 interview with Apple Music, Harry Styles shared a memory from the early days of One Direction. They were in the studio in Sweden working on “What Makes You Beautiful”. First single, the rollercoaster train just starting to climb the track. Someone comes into the room and says there are a couple of girls outside. Why? the band asks. They’re looking for you guys. For One Direction. “And we’re all just like, ‘But we’re in Sweden!’”

 

Ah, the old, “who…us?” routine. Harry! Incorrigibly charming, dreamboat for starry-eyed youth the world over. And, as it turns out, a legitimate force in pop, the kind of artist who could bridge contemporary appeal with classic values in ways that felt fresh but familiar, universal.

 

Part of what had made One Direction so great was that they never shied away from the pleasures of boy-band pop, but never patronised their audiences or fell back on gimmicks, either: Never mind the no-dancing policy; they were writing songs, exploring music as something beyond the show. In his solo career, Styles (born 1994, in Redditch, England) has done much the same, combining soul (“Watermelon Sugar”), confessional soft rock (“Sign of the Times”) and psychedelia (“Sunflower, Vol. 6”) with a modern touch, summarising where pop has been while also pushing it forward. “I’m just trying to go through life being a little less worried about stuff,” he said. “Definitely with working. Because ultimately, it’ll be okay.” He had a busy five years there. But he’s got a lifetime ahead of him. - Apple Music
