Born in 1991, the singer/songwriter was raised in the small Irish village of Rathcoole, where he began writing songs as a teenager before studying classical music at Maynooth University and forming folk band Shadows and Dust. He soon set off on his own, busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street, the same spot favored by famous street musicians like Glen Hansard, The Frames frontman and Once actor. Kennedy built up his raspy, throat-ripping howls on the pavement, but found his largest following online after he self-released romantic ballads like 2015’s “An Evening I Will Not Forget” and 2016’s “After Rain”. A larger audience exposed him to a few key producers, including Stephen Kozmeniuk (Koz) and Mike Dean, both of whom have helped enhance the poetic intimacy of Kennedy’s songwriting with rumbling beats and expansive electronic production. Finding a delicate balance between soaring folk and understated hip-hop has been the key to Kennedy’s sound, starting with his 2019 debut album, Without Fear. His strengths come in turning quiet melodies into rousing anthems, including “Power Over Me”, a propulsive paean that captures the intoxicating rush of becoming enraptured, and “Outnumbered”, which feels almost gospel-like in its cathartic chorus. Meanwhile, his voice—a slightly weathered mix of grit and gravel—ties it all together, bringing the raw intensity he learned as a busker to pop charts around the world. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2019 06 Outnumbered -2- MILLIONAIRE 2019 27 Power Over Me -1/3- 2019 89 All My Friends -AT- 2020 12 Giants -4- 2020 05 Paradise (Meduza feat.

October 21, 20223 yr I'm in Love with you, good example with a song with a "melody" Lil Baby... DBE... not really :D
October 21, 20223 yr Looks like Running Up That Hill is out of the Top 40 I mean it's had it's time and got to #1. But it is a bit of a shame if you consider other shit hangs around in the top 40 for eternity.
October 21, 20223 yr Author "Kiss Me" is cute, probably Dermot's best. Agreed! He's usually extremely MOR to my ears but this one's actually pretty good.
October 21, 20223 yr I'm in Love with you, good example with a song with a "melody" Lil Baby... DBE... not really :D That's what i don't understand. Lil baby has been nominated for two grammy for best melodic rap performance. He won one! but still why!
October 21, 20223 yr Nice to actually hear this one today - think it could be another slow burning hit for Dermot.
October 21, 20223 yr not the biggest fan of Kiss Me, think Dermot has lost it a bit.... but glad it's not skipped this week :D

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 Top 100 Chart History 2017 01 Sign Of The Times -1- MILLIONAIRE 2017 46 Sweet Creature -IG- 2017 51 Carolina -AT- 2017 58 Two Ghosts -2- 2017 64 Meet Me In The Hallway -AT- 2017 66 Kiwi -3- 2017 80 Only Angel -AT- 2017 87 Ever Since New York -AT- 2017 99 Woman -AT- 2019 03 Lights Up -1- 2019 04 Watermelon Sugar -4- MILLIONAIRE 2019 07 Adore You -2- MILLIONAIRE 2019 15 Falling -3- MILLIONAIRE 2020 26 Golden -5- 2022 01 As It Was -1- MILLIONAIRE 2022 02 Late Night Talking -2- 2022 03 Music For A Sushi Restaurant -AT- 2022 37 Matilda -AT- 2 x #1 | 6 x Top 5 | 7 x Top 10 | 8 x Top 20 | 10 x Top 40 | 18 x Top 100 Social Media Harry Styles http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/uploads/group_images/of_233.png
October 21, 20223 yr Author 31 | | 1st week blink-182 EDGING 1st single from forthcoming studio album Released: 14th October 2022 Label: Viking Wizard Eyes Chart Statistics NE (27/10/2022) | 31 Sales: - Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio TBA Sales TBA Audio Streaming TBA Video Streaming Video 7MI3buZedOw Biography Pop-punk godfathers blink-182 embody why the genre appeals to millions. The San Diego band, which coalesced in the early '90s around co-frontmen Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, blend upbeat tempos, catchy hooks, and bawdy humor with lyrics that understand the pain of adolescence—and life in general. The trio's 1995 debut, Cheshire Cat, and 1997 commercial breakthrough Dude Ranch illustrate a fondness for breakneck-speed punk and sharply honed melodies, but blink-182 connected with bigger audiences in the later '90s because their rebellion offered both comic relief—see the nudity-heavy video for "What's My Age Again?," from 1999's Enema of the State—and seriousness, tackling the trauma of suicide ("Adam's Song") and divorce ("Stay Together for the Kids"). Their sound matured considerably into the '00s, becoming more indebted to moody, muscular alternative rock, thanks in no small part to the crack-shot drumming and arrangements of Travis Barker, who joined in 1998. A massive lineup change—DeLonge left the band in 2015 and was replaced by Alkaline Trio singer/guitarist Matt Skiba—didn’t slow them down, even as they and their fans grew up. It's no surprise, then, that 2019's NINE, with its electronic instrumentation and more downcast, introspective themes, still resonated with their diehard followers—blink-182’s energetic, superbly crafted tunes and deeply emotional lyrics know no age limit. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1999 17 What's My Age Again? -1/3- 2000 02 All The Small Things -2- MILLIONAIRE 2001 14 The Rock Show -1- 2001 31 First Date -2- 2003 15 Feeling This -1- 2004 08 I Miss You -2- 2004 24 Down -3- 2004 36 Always -4- 2005 30 Not Now -1- 2011 48 Up All Night -1- 2022 31 EDGING -1- 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 2 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 10 x Top 40 | 11 x Top 100 Social Media blink-182 http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png
October 21, 20223 yr The term 'melodic rap' does not mean the songs have massive earworm pop melodies, it just means it's kind of halfway singing/rapping. Which DBE and Lil Baby definitely are (not in all of their songs but a pretty good chunk of them).
October 21, 20223 yr Really good return single! and charting placement! Although the song is a little corny since they are mid 40s to 50s
October 21, 20223 yr I'm in Love with you, good example with a song with a "melody" Lil Baby... DBE... not really :D I thought you hated The 1975
October 21, 20223 yr Aww pity Blink 182 missed out on top 30. Love to see a rock song like that in the charts.
