December 31, 20223 yr 26 Burna Boy Last Last 2nd single from Love, Damini Released: 12th May 2022 Label: Atlantic Recording Corporation Chart Statistics NE (26/05/2022) | 58-55-44-29-20-22-22-12-7-4-5-6-6-23-27-26-23-26-29-31-32-26-39-38-43-49-48-59-76-90-x Sales: 600k+ Certification: Platinum 16 Sales 05 Audio Streaming 01 Video Streaming Video 421w1j87fEM Biography Nigerian singer Burna Boy opened his Apple Music Up Next spotlight with a distinction: “Music’s supposed to be a universal language. You understanding what I’m saying is second. The primary thing is, what does the person inside you hear?” It’s a simple but radical thought: You can listen on your terms, but he doesn’t have to meet you halfway. Born in 1991 and raised on the southern coast of Nigeria before moving to London for college, Burna (born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu) has become one of the most prominent African pop artists of the 21st century, fusing his specific background—a Nigerian man entering adulthood in the United Kingdom—with a global vision that encompasses Afrobeats, dancehall, trap, UK hip-hop and just about everything else that might fit under his diasporic umbrella. The result is an artist who isn’t confined by his identity but doesn’t dilute it either. By the time he received broader recognition through a (conspicuously uncredited) feature on Drake’s 2017 mix, More Life, he was already a star in Africa; 2019’s African Giant, which featured collaborators as disparate as Angélique Kidjo, Skrillex, Damian Marley and Future, brought him into international focus. Yeah, he’s just speaking to his people. But there are more of them all the time. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2017 88 Good Time (J Hus feat. Burna Boy) 2019 06 Location (Dave feat.

December 31, 20223 yr I tried to like 'Im Good (Blue)' but yeah not a fan. Far too lame and generic for me. Bebe looks fab in the video at least so a positive there.
December 31, 20223 yr Author one of the more interesting afrobeats hits of recent times, can't complain with this being his biggest hit by some stretch (features aside)
December 31, 20223 yr Not heard 'Another Love' in a while despite its resurgence this year, it was sounding great :wub: 'Last Last' is a good tune as well. 'Late Night Talking' was a decent follow-up to 'As It Was' but nothing I was crazy over, 'Satellite' remains my other big favourite from the album. 'I'm Good (Blue)' though... how about no x
December 31, 20223 yr 25 Jack Harlow First Class 2nd single from Come Home The Kids Miss You Released: 8th April 2022 Label: Generation Now / Atlantic Recording Corporation Chart Statistics NE (21/04/2022) | 2-2-2-2-2-5-7-5-8-33-42-49-52-51-58-65-72-80-87-94-x Sales: 600k+ Certification: Platinum 11 Sales 02 Audio Streaming 11 Video Streaming Video yQBImEeXNZ4 Biography “I still wanna be one of the greats,“ rapper Jack Harlow tells Apple Music about his commitment to his craft. “I’m very ambitious about this. And I think I have what it takes to really make a mark because I love the art.” Harlow, born in 1998 in Kentucky, is well on his way to turning that dream into reality. Growing up in Louisville, Harlow started writing and rapping at the age of 12 and released his bouncy first EP before graduating from school in late 2015. Since his more fully realised mixtape, 18, dropped in 2016, Harlow has continued to inject his chill party rap and poppy beats with “addictive, candy-coated qualities,” as he described it to Apple Music. “It’s good on the ears.” With 2017’s Gazebo, he established a more mature sound, moodily riding through his hometown with the intense “Dark Knight” and keeping things dreamy using synth pulses on the regret-laden “Wasted Youth”. It’s a vibe he honed on multiple mixtapes in the late 2010s, keeping with a feel he says is representative of Louisville—smooth and laidback—while exploring elements of trap, which is native to his adopted home base of Atlanta. With every beat on 2020’s punchy, swaggering Sweet Action, Harlow moved closer to the place he sees as his inevitable destination: “On top.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2020 25 WHATS POPPIN -1- 2021 03 INDUSTRY BABY (Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow) 2022 55 Nail Tech -1- 2022 02 First Class -2- 2022 19 Churchill Downs (feat.

December 31, 20223 yr First Class was the best song of the year not to get to number one in my opinion.
December 31, 20223 yr Everything I like about this song comes from the sample, it's just dull away from that oops
December 31, 20223 yr I got into 'First Class' when it first dropped but have barely revisited it since oops
December 31, 20223 yr Author meh at First Class, the sample use is rather good but he's not a great rapper
December 31, 20223 yr 24 Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal B.O.T.A. (Baddest Of Them All) Non-album single Released: 15th June 2022 Label: Rosebud Recordings Chart Statistics NE (04/08/2022) | 93-45-10-2-2-1-1-3-3-4-4-11-15-19-21-27-27-33-47-65-78-88-x Sales: 600k+ Certification: Platinum 03 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 08 Video Streaming Video KtGFByAJRQQ Biography Eliza Rose East London DJ, producer and singer, Eliza Rose spent a decade at famed Flashback record shop earning a formidable collection of vinyl, and a deep appreciation for the roots of where this all began. Her career as a lyricist has seen her write and perform on stand out cuts like Angel D’Lite ‘Pleasure Xone 43’, M4A ‘Shades Of Red’, and with Cody Currie on the ‘Flame’ EP, cementing Eliza as a contemporary and future voice for the next rise of UK club culture, a sentiment dear to her heart. This is very much the start for Eliza with her debut EP currently in the works for later in the year, incorporating her electronic roots mixed with neo-soul and more. Early supporters for Eliza Rose already include Resident Advisor, The Face, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Vinyl Factory and more. - Apple Music Interplanetary Criminal Interplanetary Criminal’s contribution to the sound of UK garage has not gone unnoticed since his big breakthrough over lockdown. The producer first emerged in the 2010s, releasing a string of bangers merging shuffling beats with rough-edged melodies on labels such as E-Beamz and Kalahari Oyster Cult. Over time he's honed in on the UKG sound, turning heads in even the furthest corners of the globe. The Manchester-born DJ, producer and ATW Records label co-head is helping to further the resurgence of a genre that carries the weight of the UK on its back — a tribute to ‘90s dance music and some of the most prevalent club bangers that had Britain uniting on the dancefloor with its distinctive sound. In a new strain of UK garage, Interplanetary Criminal - real name Zach Bruce - brings that nostalgia back to club dwellers all over the UK, most notably in the city he was born and raised. “I feel like Manchester has always had an amazing scene with so many advocates for UK bass music,” says Zach when we chat to him from his home city. “There’s such an abundance of good music and producers. If you’re throwing a UKG party up here, it’s almost always gonna sell out.” Through his time on the scene, Zach has released through labels including Dansu Discs, Sneaker Social Club, and Shall Not Fade’s Time Is Now, and picked up even more traction through viral sets and raucous livestreams playing to boisterous, high-energy crowds. The producer pays homage to Manchester every bit of the way, and has helped to bring younger crowds through the doors to experience a genre that circulated clubs before they were born. Now playing tastemaker, Zach recently launched his own label, ATW, alongside close friend Main Phase seeing the UKG hopefuls and up-and-comers get their foot in the door. In a quick come-up post-lockdown, Interplanetary Criminal simply has fun with what he does, and that’s the beauty of his project. As strong a producer as he is a DJ, Zach’s homemade club stormers and charged-up crowd-pleasers are only ever certain to fill a dancefloor. - MixMag Top 100 Chart History Eliza Rose 2022 01 B.O.T.A.
