Biography

 

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - Apple Music

Biography

 

Bradford’s BBCC are MCs Kane, GK, Clive managed by Darren Booth aka “Dr Google”. Deeply influenced by the ‘bassline house’ clubbing heritage they grew up around in the North of England as well as emergent UK and US rap. The boys’ have created something of their own new sound, lacing pacey 4x4 bass-quakes with a frantic lyrical fire that veers from infectious ear-worm hooks to wry observational punchlines. Think The Streets meet T2’s ‘Heartbroken’. Embracing the term ‘charva’ as a way-of-life, together they channel the nuances and absurdities of northern street life into hugely addictive tunes. The new single 'Don't You Worry About Me' is out now, and the debut mixtape ‘Full Wack No Breaks’ was released summer 2020. - Spotify

I was expecting Anti-Hero to be in the top 40

*.* he's still got it, I loved this remix from this year too:

 

 

Wow thanks for sharing Jade, I hadn't heard this before but just listened to the first minute alone and can tell i'm gonna love this one. :wub: :wub:

Such a silent hit

for a blatant Olivia Rodrigo knock-off this was rather decent

 

Yeah this... there was too much of this in this year.

How up to date is this chart? Does it include sales from yesterday’s chart or only up to the week before

This doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd be into at all but it's a bit of a guilty pleasure :ph34r:

 

Wow thanks for sharing Jade, I hadn't heard this before but just listened to the first minute alone and can tell i'm gonna love this one. :wub: :wub:

No worries :wub:

she's all i wanna be :wub: a slow burner for me

 

BMW is trash x

I was expecting Anti-Hero to be in the top 40

 

Released too late in the year to do that in the streaming era.

Tate is contender for my song of the year with SAIWB! Her best easily.

How up to date is this chart? Does it include sales from yesterday’s chart or only up to the week before

Week before unfortunately so the OCC version will differ slightly but not massively!

I've actually seen Bad Boy Chiller Crew live this year at a festival. I wasn't particularly desperate to see them but one of my friends wanted to go and there was nothing I was desperate to see clashing with them at the time.

 

They weren't very good.

Under the old chart system would this end of year chart look the same

Meh at BMW, another dance hit I wasn't keen on (and I don't like BBCC in general)

Biography

 

“I never really think, ‘OK, I’m going to write a song,’” Lewis Capaldi told Apple Music. “My creative process is basically: I sit down with a guitar and or at the piano, and I just start to write.” But the amazing thing about Capaldi is that he’s become one of the most popular young artists of his generation by preserving his songs in that raw, unvarnished state, to provide the purest representation of the pain and longing coursing through his lyrics. Amid the hyper-paced, totally wired world of late-2010s pop, this unassuming Scottish singer-songwriter and former Up Next artist—born 1996 in Glasgow—stopped the internet dead in its tracks with his DIY 2017 single “Bruises”, a stark, piano-based breakup ballad that introduced a voice imbued with the sort of soulful grit and deeply felt heartache you wouldn’t expect from a baby-faced 21-year-old. “Bruises” was Capaldi’s ticket to international major-label deals and tours opening for pop A-listers like Sam Smith and Niall Horan, but he would swiftly join their ranks with his equally rustic 2018 single “Someone You Loved”, another tear-jerking expression of sorrow—inspired by the death of his grandmother—that went to No. 1 in the US and UK, and has since become one of the most-streamed songs of all time. Those singles formed the foundation of Capaldi’s chart-topping full-length debut, 2019’s Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, which fleshes out his sound with lush orchestration and gospel gravitas but, through songs like the suicide-themed “Before You Go”, retains his fearless flair for dredging up the messiest of emotions. - Apple Music

Not the best start to the top 40 unfortunately. 'Hold Me While You Wait' is still the only song of his that I'd go out of my way to listen to

Anyone for you is fab! I grew to love green green grass lmao i still anyone could write that chorus tho

And the prophetic song title of the year award goes to...

 

Seriously, I didn't hate this but it's so bland and meh. I can barely hum it now, I just remember the Wham rip off video and him discussing rimming on BBC breakfast.

Anyone for you is fab! I grew to love green green grass lmao i still anyone could write that chorus tho

 

Ewww Green Green Grass is gonna be on here as well isn't it.

 

Gahhhhhhh.
