Afternoon all! As always, NO SPOILERS PLEASE!

 

Hosting via my laptop on holiday in Wales today so a tiny bit of patience may be needed, this thing is slower than my home desktop computer! Thanks in advance x

looks like quite an eventful chart tonight then if all those potential new entries remain in.

LF System looking to be my birthday number one this year then which will be great to see. hopefully BOTA can join it in the top ten tonight.

I couldn't quite tell if we would have a big week for new entries as it's not a common thing these days but hopefully those stay in (well Chris Brown can drop back out as outside of obvious resentment his stuff hasn't been good in over a decade anyway).

 

I'm not quite sure if Eliza will be top 10 (could see her just missing at 11 for this week) but definitely a climb to the top 3 region next week possibly #1 as it's not far off ATF today!

Biography

 

benny blanco

Before Benny Blanco was a name people put their chips on, the man born Benjamin Levin (in Reston, Virginia, in 1988) used to pretend to be JAY-Z’s lawyer to get label execs on the phone. It didn’t work, but it was a sign nevertheless: Here was someone with the hustle and ingenuity to make things happen. Raised in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Blanco started making hip-hop beats as a teenager, messaging artists on MySpace from his school library and sleeping in McDonald’s while trying to land meetings on weekend trips to New York. His work—in particular a hyperbolically sleazy collaboration with party rapper Spank Rock called Bangers & Cash—caught the ear of industry powerhouses including songwriter-producer Dr. Luke (Katy Perry, Kesha, Britney Spears), who enlisted Blanco as an apprentice. From there, he became one of the most bulletproof forces in modern pop, writing for and producing artists from Ed Sheeran (“Don’t”) to Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign to Sia, The Weeknd to Maroon 5 (“Moves Like Jagger,” “Payphone”)—resulting in a résumé that effortlessly yoked together the vanguards of mainstream pop, hip-hop, and R&B. In 2018, Blanco stepped out as an artist in his own right, releasing his guest-heavy debut LP, FRIENDS KEEP SECRETS—an ongoing release that he plans to continue to add songs to over time, and a rare, progressive turn for someone so well established behind the scenes. “I’ve been doing this for 12 years,” he told Apple Music. “After that long, it’s good to switch it up.” - Apple Music

 

BTS

Calling BTS a boy band is a little like calling a computer a typewriter with a screen. Yes, they sing. Yes, they dance. Yes, they have cool haircuts and their outfits always match in an interesting way. But they also represent the power of pop music—simple, catchy pop music—as a force for social transformation, touching on subjects—mental health, LGBTQ identity, class inequity—taboo not just in their native South Korea but in the sunshine-and-rainbows world of mass-market culture generally. The official name of their fans (the ARMY), is an acronym for “Adorable Representative MC for Youth.” But the subtext is clear: These are people willing to fight for what they believe. Formed in 2010 by K-pop impresario Bang Si-hyuk, the group—V, j-hope, RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, and SUGA—swiftly became not only one of the biggest groups in South Korea (and eventually the best-selling artists in the country’s history), but an emblem for K-pop’s migration into mainstream global pop—a feat made even more impressive by the fact that the band sings almost entirely in Korean. More than just developing a brand, BTS crafted a rich, reference-heavy alternate universe that invoked things like Jungian psychoanalysis and Nietzschean philosophy—not your most bankable teen-pop references. (The video to their 2016 track “Blood Sweat & Tears” is, if not the only music video in history to feature both a coordinated dance routine and a quote from the Hermann Hesse novel Demian, certainly the only one to have been watched more than half a billion times.) But for as dense as the band’s mythology can get, their presence remains simple, clear, and uplifting. In 2017, they partnered with UNICEF in a campaign to protect young people from violence; the next year, their fans raised over $1 million in an effort to alleviate childhood malnutrition. SUGA once promised that if he got rich, he would buy his fans beef—a luxury in Korea. On his 25th birthday, he donated nearly $20,000 of it to orphanages. And he did it in ARMY’s name. - Apple Music

 

Snoop Dogg

With a hypnotic, laidback voice and charisma to match, Snoop Dogg emerged as one of gangsta rap’s most compelling characters, evolved into one of music’s most versatile artists, and wound up a pop culture icon. Born Calvin Broadus (1971) in Long Beach, CA, the rapper known as Snoop Doggy Dogg was discovered by freshly solo N.W.A. star Dr. Dre. An iconic partnership was born when the MC featured on the G-funk pioneer’s “Deep Cover” single, and it bloomed quickly: Snoop costarred on Dre’s genre-shifting 1992 debut, The Chronic, riding over the deep grooves and high synths of classics like “Nuthin’ but a G thang.” His silky flow conveyed gun-toting menace and weed-smoking euphoria with equal candor, and demanded its own platform. Snoop’s Doggystyle (1993) was yet another timeless album pairing gleefully narcissistic and lewd lyricism with Dre’s dense soundbeds—“Gin & Juice” and “Who Am I? (What’s My Name)” broke sales records and permeated barbecues and family reunions for decades. After leaving Death Row Records and signing with No Limit for three albums, Snoop C-walked into the mainstream with the Pharrell-featuring “Beautiful” (2002) and “Drop It Like It’s Hot” (2004), swapping in an easygoing, pimpish persona for the violent, charge-dodging image that frightened and fascinated suburban listeners a decade earlier. As he transitioned into reality TV as a family man, pee wee football coach, and Martha Stewart cohost, he experimented with other genres. In 2013 he released reggae album Reincarnated, and the 7 Days of Funk EP with keytar hero Dâm-Funk; then came 2018’s gospel double-LP Bible of Love. Snoop celebrated his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with his 17th album, I Wanna Thank Me, in 2019. The following year he began hosting Uncle Snoop's Army Radio on Apple Music Hits. - Apple Music

2nd single from forthcoming studio album

Label: Gingerbread Man Records / Asylum Records UK

Biography

 

“I grew up loving music but I wasn’t especially, precociously talented at anything,” Maisie Peters told Apple Music in 2021. “I really firmly believe that I taught myself because I just love it so much.” That process began in her early teens, when the Sussex singer-songwriter (born in 2000) borrowed a friend’s guitar and started experimenting, writing imaginative songs that transported her out of the small town she was raised in. But it’s hard to believe Peters wasn’t always just naturally gifted. Lauded by Ed Sheeran (who in 2021 told Apple Music she was “the voice of this generation” and signed her to his Gingerbread Man record company) and by her ultimate inspiration Taylor Swift, the singer’s pop is assured but intimate, her lyrics pin-sharp and ultra-relatable. “I’ve always been really obsessed with lyrics,” said Peters. “I used to read lyric booklets and I love storytelling. It’s so in me—so to the core of what I do—that the lyric has to be something you would underline and say to a friend, ‘Did you hear that? Did you hear what she said? That’s so good.’ I would really struggle to do anything else.”

 

In 2021, Peters delivered two projects. The first was her soundtrack to Season 2 of the Apple TV+ comedy Trying, a collection of nine original songs which found her in her “happy place” of soft and sweet folk pop. The second was her long-awaited debut, the wryly titled You Signed Up for This. “People had been asking for an album for literally four years, so it's only fair that I just give them two,” Peters said at the time. You Signed Up for This—housing that folk pop alongside tracks inspired by ’80s and early-2000s pop, as well as three songs co-written with Sheeran—took her decidedly out of her comfort zone (see “Psycho,” a song so removed from the singer’s early sound that she once told her manager it would “come out over my cold, dead corpse”). But across it all remains those gut-punching lyrics, as Peters dissects early adulthood—from growing up to falling in and out of love and using a fake ID. “This album feels like a triumph to me, of everything I’ve learned and everything I’ve done and all the work I've put in—all the years of writing and recording,” said Peters. “It feels like an album of someone who knows the beginnings, at least, of what the music is they want to make and how they want to sound.” - Apple Music

Wow so that’s you me and other chart mod Liam all having birthdays in the same week :lol:

 

theres so many August babies on the site in general too

15 years since With Every Heartbeat was at #1 *.*

 

Good to have a healthier crop of new entries than usual, and a few songs on their way up vying for the Top 10 - I hope BOTA gets there, but it's surely bound for the Top 5 (if not Top 3) next week anyway.

 

If Beyoncé stays at #1 on albums, RENAISSANCE will be only the 6th album this decade to get a second week at #1 straight after its first - the other 5 were:

 

Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia

Lady Gaga - Chromatic

Taylor Swift - folklore

Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR

Adele - 30

I hope that HSTikkyTokky rubbish misses out this week, but i have a bad feeling it'll just make the top 40

Biography

 

Diplo

As a kid growing up in South Florida, Diplo listened to whatever: hip-hop, punk rock, Miami bass, Christian radio. “I would watch Rap City on BET and then Country Music Television back-to-back every day after I got out of school,” he told Apple Music in 2020. “It was equal.” The attitude stuck. More than just a DJ or producer, Diplo has become an avatar for the eclectic, border-free nature of pop in the internet era, the kind of artist who not only jumps from genre to genre, but also finds the common denominator that brings them all together. If his teenage listening habits didn’t make immediate sense, that’s the point: It isn’t where the music comes from, it’s how you hear it. Born Thomas Wesley Pentz in 1978, he got his start in his mid-twenties as half of the DJ duo Hollertronix, whose mixes—think “Rock the Casbah” with a Missy Elliott verse on top—captured the wild omnivorousness of 2000s mash-up culture. A few years later, he cofounded Major Lazer, a collaborative, shapeshifting project that brought global dance music to the big-tent festival crowd. The records he’s worked on since—M.I.A.’s ”Paper Planes,” Usher’s “Climax,“ Beyoncé’s “Hold Up,” the Skrillex and Justin Bieber collaboration “Where Are Ü Now”—constitute some of the best, most progressive pop of the millennium, the kind of tracks that have appealed as much to club audiences as to critical cognoscenti. He’s also used his platform to shed light on lesser-known global dance scenes, from New Orleans bounce to Brazilian baile funk—a role that elevates the DJ to cultural ambassador. He plays about 300 shows a year. On a break from touring during 2020, he said there were parts of his house he swears he’d never seen before. And he was ready to get back out and party. - Apple Music

 

Miguel

Miguel’s sound evolves every time he encounters a new way to express love—and as one of pop’s friskiest experimentalists, that means his career is a study in subverting the very notion of a conventional R&B star. The singer/songwriter born Miguel Jontel Pimentel (Los Angeles, 1985) was drawn to music’s insider/outsiders from the beginning, mimicking the moves of Michael Jackson at family gatherings at age three, and later drawing both artistic and sartorial inspiration from the likes of David Bowie, Prince, and Jimi Hendrix. So when it came time for his 2010 debut, All I Want Is You, Miguel flouted tradition by moving elegantly, sexily, both within and beyond his assigned genre. In back-to-back tracks, he slid from boom-bap soul to vulnerable a cappella to uptempo electro-funk. His confidence found composure on 2012’s Kaleidoscope Dream, which sounds as Technicolor and wondrous as the title suggests. Single “Adorn” merged timeless soul and modern production as seamlessly as it did deep love and physical longing, while songs like “P**** Is Mine” flipped expectations by casting Miguel as one of his partner’s many lovers, begging for validation. On 2015’s Wildheart, he dove deeper into psych rock, incorporating his own guitar and a Lenny Kravitz cameo into raw, grinding cuts that also supported Kurupt rapping and Miguel singing in Spanish. By 2017’s War & Leisure, he seemed to be flitting across genres just to prove he could: The sunny, pop-adjacent “Pineapple Skies” fit him just as snugly as the trippy, Travis Scott-assisted “Sky Walker.” That latter track seems to best capture the man as he coos out lyrical flexes both winkingly self-aware and genuinely braggy. Chameleon though he may be, Miguel is always Miguel—humorous, smart, and full of passion—no matter the setting. - Apple Music
