March 3, 20233 yr Author 24 | 20 | 23rd week Sam Smith and Kim Petras Unholy 2nd single from Gloria Released: 22nd September 2022 Label: Capitol Records UK / EMI Chart Statistics NE (06/10/2022) | 1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-2-16-37-46-45-59-13-20-24-25-26-21-20-20-24 Sales: 800k+ Certification: Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 03 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 04 Video Streaming Video Uq9gPaIzbe8 Biography Sam Smith It’s hard to think of many artists in 21st-century pop who could match the vulnerability of Sam Smith. “I’ve never shied away from telling the truth in my music,” the singer told Apple Music in 2020. “Music is literally my best friend; it’s a release, a form of diary and therapy.” Born in London in 1992 and raised in Cambridge, Smith first began gaining significant traction in 2012 with a pair of dance hits—Disclosure’s “Latch,” and Naughty Boy’s “La La La” the following year. They revealed that elastic falsetto, but didn’t quite hint at the sadness that would define the outrageous success to come. That arrived with 2014’s Grammy-winning In the Midnight Hour, an exquisite meditation on unrequited love, and its followup, the heartbreak-inspired The Thrill of It All. This second album saw Smith—by then an Oscar winner for 2015’s Bond theme “Writing’s on the Wall”—open up about instant fame and embrace their status as a gay role model, against a backdrop of stirring, gospel-infused balladry. It has always been clear that Smith’s power lies as much in that voice as in an unwavering bravery to put their innermost feelings—loneliness, confusion, desperation, desire—on full public view. By the run-up to album three, however, Smith was also ready to have a little more fun. The aching melancholy of love, loss, and yearning for someone to spend their days with was still present, but this time, it was all being mined for invigorating music to help dance the blues away. That third LP should have arrived in early 2020 in the form of To Die For, but, amid the global pandemic, it was delayed, reworked, and renamed with the more sensitive title Love Goes. The album, Smith said ahead of its release, allowed them to heal after their first true breakup. But it also heralded freedom. “I felt at one point that I was going to be trapped onstage wearing a suit and singing ballads for the rest of my life,” said Smith. “When I look back at Love Goes, it reminds of the courage it took. A lot of my life, probably because of a lot of internalized queerphobia, and queerphobia around me, I felt ashamed of myself and not being able to fully be myself through my music. Each time I make an album, I learn to like myself a little more. The more I make music, the closer to myself I feel.” - Apple Music Kim Petras Kim Petras has spawned an entire generation of bunheads (as her fanbase is called) with her brand of hook-heavy, hedonistic synth-pop. Born in Cologne, Germany in 1992, Petras had aspirations of international stardom from an early age, writing her first songs at 13 and inspired by pop stars like Britney Spears and Spice Girls. Though she released minor works in the late 2000s, it was 2017’s “Unlock It,” the singer’s attention-grabbing collaboration with scene queen Charli XCX, that served for many as a gateway into her world. Petras' Era 1 collection of endorphin-popping bangers, elevated by her virtuosic vocal range, solidified her status as pop music royalty. Songs like 2017’s sugar-baby anthem “I Don't Want It At All” and 2018’s criminally catchy “Heart to Break” showcased her singer/songwriter prowess through a neon glow of ‘80s-infused dance pop. An indie artist at heart, Petras has released the bulk of her work on her own BunHead Records imprint. Her official full-length debut, Clarity (2019), found her eschewing some of the blithe spirit of her early songs in favor of a greater vulnerability in songs like “Icy” and “Broken,” where materialism becomes an escape from the emotional void of heartbreak. The hyper-sexualized Slut Pop arrived in 2022. Petras’ success has also turned her into a role model for the broad swath of her fanbase who identify as LGBTQ, celebrating her as a pioneer for transgender representation in the genre. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Sam Smith 2012 11 Latch (Disclosure feat.

By the age of twelve, she had already decided she wanted to be a musician. ‘Music has always been my strong point, it’s one of the only things that help me get through the ups and downs of life,’ says Venbee. ‘If I didn’t do music I’d probably be working a dead-end job, only thinking ‘what ifs.’’ Looking up to artists like Carol King, Lola Young, Adele and Billie Eilish for sonic and lyrical inspiration, Erin also looks up to Demi Lovato’s sense of self and the familiarity she brings as a role model. She states, ‘I am and will always be unapologetically myself. I’m a bit of a nutter. When people listen to my songs, I hope they can relate.’ Freestyling and memorizing the lyrics alongside rhythm guitar to combat her dyslexia, Venbee is currently working on her debut EP set to release in 2022. - Soundcloud goddard. 'goddard.' is an electronic music producer and DJ from Kettering, United Kingdom. An artist with an impressively varied sonic palette, Goddard has travelled an interesting path before arriving at his current resting place within the electronic community. The artists relationship with electronic music has seen him hold a presence in House, Techno and ambient genres - creating a platform for an exploratory journey into emotive and enriching sound. Citing influence from artists like Maribou State, Bonobo, Chase & Status. Goddard now finds himself fusing the experience of his past with his love for Drum and Bass to create a boundless end product that can be described as limitless and freestanding electronic music - not defined by genre or concept.

March 3, 20233 yr Author 22 | 19 | 13th week P!nk Never Gonna Not Dance Again 1st single from TRUSTFALL Released: 4th November 2022 Label: RCA Records Chart Statistics NE (17/11/2022) | 46-64-61-75-x RE (12/01/2023) | 46-47-53-46-40-43-40-19-22 Sales: 100k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 02 Sales 44 Audio Streaming 25 Video Streaming Video iqYK79jCssA Biography From the start, P!nk made it her business to be different: “Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears,” she sang on 2001’s “Don’t Let Me Get Me". “She’s so pretty/That just ain’t me.” Even as she rose in fame, she retained the whiff of an outsider—someone too frank, too unapologetic, too real for the show: not an icon, but a human being. As a girl, P!nk (born Alecia Beth Moore in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, in 1979) loved Madonna and Janis Joplin, and tried her hand at opera, show tunes and punk rock. She started performing in clubs as a teenager, taking her name from Steve Buscemi’s "Mr. Pink” character in the Quentin Tarantino film Reservoir Dogs: quippy, edgy, ready for trouble. After the demise of her first group, Choice, which was briefly signed to LaFace Records, P!nk released her 2000 debut, Can’t Take Me Home, co-writing more than half the album’s tracks. A year later, she released M!ssundaztood, a leap forward both artistically and commercially, bridging the immediacy of club pop with songs that were confessional, genuine, frustrated and raw (“Family Portrait”, “Just Like a Pill”). That style paved the way for artists like Halsey, Kesha and just about every other major female pop star in her wake. While her attitude was central to her appeal—whether she was tilting towards rock on 2003’s Try This or tipping back to dance on 2006’s I’m Not Dead—what really set her apart was her versatility: It was hard to imagine another singer capable of tackling something as bitterly sarcastic as “I Got Money Now” (“You don’t have to like me anymore/I’ve got money now”) and then shifting, with total credibility, to “Dear Mr. President” or “Who Knew”—who could be a punk one minute and an embracing, almost maternal comfort the next. She also set new standards as a live act, incorporating aerial dance and acrobatics into her extravagant stage shows. (Check out her performance of “Sober” at the 2009 VMAs for proof.) In 2012, The Truth About Love marked another career high, tackling marriage, parenthood and the heft of Real Adult Emotions with a frankness that was funny, touching and refreshingly unsentimental (“It’s whispered by the angels’ lips,” she sang on the title track, “and it can turn you into a son of a bitch”). Speaking to Beats 1 host Zane Lowe about 2019’s Hurts 2B Human, she described the album’s title track in classic P!nk fashion—welcoming, human, but with an edge: “Everybody is going through something. And the point is, it’s all about your village, it’s all about your people, and the circle you create around you to get through all the bullshit in this world.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2000 06 There You Go -1- 2000 05 Most Girls -2- 2001 09 You Make Me Sick -3- 2001 01 Lady Marmalade (Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa & P!nk) -OST- MILLIONAIRE 2002 02 Get The Party Started -1- 2002 06 Don't Let Me Get Me -2- 2002 01 Just Like A Pill -3- 2002 11 Family Portrait -4- 2003 03 Feel Good Time (feat.

March 3, 20233 yr Author 21 | 28 | 19th week Stormzy Hide & Seek 1st single from This Is What I Mean Released: 14th October 2022 Label: 0207 Def Jam Chart Statistics NE (27/10/2022) | 7-7-7-10-8-8-7-23-42-44-x RE (12/01/2023) | 17-15-17-20-27-29-29-28-21 Sales: 300k+ Certification: Silver Status: Standard Chart Ratio 08 Sales 09 Audio Streaming 01 Video Streaming Video BXd62mMu1UY Biography Grime attracts big personalities, but even by the genre’s imposing standards, Stormzy isn’t so much a rapper as a force of nature: a 6’5” lyrical whirlwind boasting a powerhouse voice and one of the most impressive ascents in pop music, stepping up to headline Glastonbury within five years of his debut EP. Born Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr. in 1993, Stormzy was still a boy when grime was in its infancy, and he came up battling fellow teens at youth centers in his native Croydon, London. By the time he was 20, he had launched his “WickedSkengMan” series, uploading freestyles over classic grime beats, and he swiftly developed a rep for his tough staccato flow and pugnacious attitude. Fittingly, Stormzy performed his 2015 single “Shut Up,” one of his earliest hits, at a heavyweight boxing match. “I set trends, dem man copy/They catch feelings, I catch bodies,” he raps on the song, and it’s true that when he throws down the gauntlet, he tends to make history: 2015’s “WickedSkengMan 4” was the first freestyle ever to break into the UK Top 40, and in 2017, his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, was the first grime album to go to No. 1 in the UK charts, 14 years after Dizzee Rascal’s Mercury Prize-winning Boy in da Corner first carved out a space in UK pop for the upstart underground genre. But Stormzy quicky proved himself interested in more than just besting his rivals, instead using his platform to become the voice of conscience for young and marginalized people across the UK. At Glastonbury 2017, he delivered a moving tribute to the victims of that summer’s Grenfell Tower fire; at the 2018 BRIT Awards, he aimed a scathing freestyle at Prime Minister Theresa May, whose government he accused of negligence after the fire. Musically, too, Stormzy has shown a willingness to push beyond grime’s traditional limits, dipping into R&B and gospel as he vacillates between taunts and introspection. “I would be a bit fake if I just gave you pure grime albums,” Stormzy told Apple Music. “I’m going to embrace my musicality because that is true to me as well. I love melody and I love R&B and I love pop music. Bruv, I’m going to do whatever I like.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2015 49 Know Me From -NAS- 2015 18 WickedSkengMan 4 -NAS- 2015 08 Shut Up -1- MILLIONAIRE 2015 49 Dude (Lethal Bizzle & Stormzy) 2017 06 Big For Your Boots -2- MILLIONAIRE 2017 21 Cold -3- 2017 22 Bad Boys (feat.

March 3, 20233 yr Radio 1 bias there avoiding playing Pink a relatively new chart hit rather than Stormzy which has been played to death now! Or maybe they are only plying one of the Pink entries!
March 3, 20233 yr Author Radio 1 bias there avoiding playing Pink a relatively new chart hit rather than Stormzy which has been played to death now! Or maybe they are only plying one of the Pink entries! Plus P!nk is dropping while Stormzy is climbing
March 3, 20233 yr There was another remix of 'Hide & Seek' featuring Rema that dropped last week, I don't recall it making much of a splash in its own regard but enough to give the song overall a decent boost I guess. Now P!nk has established an era with decent singles success again I feel no guilt in willing NGNDA to please go away ASAP :kink: (here for 'TRUSTFALL' to stick around though ofc).
