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. 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.” Though he didn’t release a new album in 2021, he was a constant part of the cultural conversation, releasing a slew of singles, performing at the Super Bowl and on Saturday Night Live (think: “Ladies and gentlemen, The Weeknd”) and winning the Apple Music Award for Artist of the Year. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2012 37 Crew Love (Drake feat.

You have to have a certain boot-and-blue-jeans swagger, good humor, and lack of self-importance to pull off a mullet in the 21st century, but Wallen has all that in spades, not to mention a taste for sounds that belie the look. Of course, with a voice steeped in Appalachian smoke, country is practically Wallen’s birthright. He was born in 1993 in tiny Sneedville, Tennessee, and grew up singing harmonies with his sisters in the church where their father preached. By 2014, he’d managed to get onto and eliminated from The Voice, but not before showing an innate versatility and relaxed style. His breakthrough came with 2017’s “Up Down,” a Southern-rock spring break anthem that radiated frosty-can cool with help from Florida Georgia Line. But his 2018 debut, If I Know Me, proved Wallen could ride solo on cleverly penned everyman hits like “Whiskey Glasses,” a honky-tonk heartbreak sing-along about getting over your blues with something a little stronger than beer goggles. As easy as his country goes down, Wallen stays committed to exploring interesting new directions. In 2019, he converted “Cover Me Up,” the signature song of anti-bro Jason Isbell, into a hymn of support for returning veterans. And in 2020, he not only held down “Heartless,” Diplo’s EDM foray into the Wild West, but dropped “7 Summers,” a soft-focus Eagles-style ballad about a boy who lost a girl because he wouldn’t leave his East Tennessee home. His third album, the sprawling, 36-track One Thing at a Time, arrived in 2023. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2023 31 Last Night -1- 0 x #1 | 0 x Top 5 | 0 x Top 10 | 0 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 1 x Top 100 Social Media Morgan Wallen http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

April 21, 20233 yr Author 30 | 19 | 22nd week RAYE and 070 Shake Escapism. 3rd single from My 21st Century Blues Released: 12th October 2022 Label: RAYE Chart Statistics NE (01/12/2022) | 31-6-2-3-6-13-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-10-12-14-15-14-18-17-19-30 Sales: 800k+ Certification: Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 03 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 03 Video Streaming Video Dll6VJ2C7wo Biography RAYE When RAYE speaks of her music, she doesn’t just talk of songs but of “stories”. And the South London singer-songwriter (born Rachel Agatha Keen in 1997) has quite the knack for writing them. Nominated for the Songwriter of the Year Ivor Novello Award in 2022, RAYE first broke through in 2014 with her star-signalling self-released debut EP, Welcome to the Winter, followed by the Stormzy-featuring Second EP two years later. A stream of singles and collaborations, including with Stefflon Don, Mr Eazi and Jax Jones, hinted at an artist who could shape-shift between musical spheres—and excel wherever she landed. But despite such successes (her name has also featured on the credits of songs by artists such as Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding, Little Mix and John Legend), RAYE felt trapped behind the scenes. In 2021—just months after the release of her chart-topping dance-pop anthem “BED” alongside Joel Corry and David Guetta—the singer-songwriter wrote on social media that she hadn’t been “allowed” to release her debut album and that she was “sick of being slept on” by her label, an allegation that sent shockwaves through the music industry. And it was then that RAYE returned to those stories, as she came to work on her long-awaited 2023 debut LP, My 21st Century Blues, as an independent artist. On it, she explores being a young woman in music and the trauma of sexual assault and substance abuse, but also the things any woman RAYE’s age might be moved to write about: climate change, relationships ending, falling in love with someone new. “This is about me telling the stories I want to tell, in the order I want to tell them, through the sonic landscape I want to tell them,” RAYE told Apple Music at the time of the album’s release. My 21st Century Blues, she added, wasn’t made with mainstream success in mind, yet that’s exactly what it brought. After the confronting “Hard Out Here.” and the made-for-repeat-listening “Black Mascara.”, she unleashed “Escapism.” featuring 070 Shake, a viral hit on both sides of the Atlantic and the biggest song of RAYE’s up to that point. It signalled, without doubt, that her time had come. “It is just the most beautiful validation,” said RAYE. “To know that you’re right to back yourself when you feel conviction and you feel passionately about something. I made this [album] battling and figuring out freedom, and I’m so excited for the artist I get to become. This has set the tone for me.” - Apple Music 070 Shake Danielle Balbuena (born June 13, 1997), better known by her stage name 070 Shake, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Aside from her solo career, she is also a member of the musical collective 070, who have released a mixtape together titled The 070 Project: Chapter 1 (2016). Shake would release her debut EP, Glitter, in March 2018. In 2018, Shake gained attention for her involvement with American musician Kanye West's production work in Wyoming, with West later signing her to his GOOD Music imprint. She went on to feature on the songs "Ghost Town" and "Violent Crimes" from West's Ye, as well as appearing on Pusha T's Daytona and Nas' Nasir. Shake released her debut album, Modus Vivendi, in 2020 and released her second album, You Can't Kill Me, in 2022. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History RAYE 2016 15 By Your Side (Jonas Blue feat.

April 21, 20233 yr I'm surprised Labrinth did not give Billie Ellish with a feature credit for this track. Never Felt So Alone is a very interesting track, I don't know what to think about it yet. I suppose her label may have just not allowed it perhaps?
April 21, 20233 yr Author I get why they're not playing Morgan Wallen to a degree (sure, he's trash) but I can't deny the song is great, shame to miss out on hearing that over the very stale Escapism.
April 21, 20233 yr Good to see Labrinth back! Even better to see Meghan Trainor's abomination definitely won't be going top 20!
April 21, 20233 yr Not sure what to make of that Labrinth track but I know I'm still not tired of 'Escapism'!
April 21, 20233 yr Author 29 | 25 | 7th week Zara Larsson Can't Tame Her 1st single from forthcoming studio album Released: 26th January 2023 Label: Sommer House Chart Statistics NE (16/03/2023) | 59-55-38-36-27-25-29 Sales: 70k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 04 Sales 55 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video GNcX0qqnE2Y Biography “I try not to overthink songs,” Zara Larsson told Apple Music in 2019. Instead, the Swedish singer feels most on point when she’s able to “just feel it.” Larsson’s ability to convey that mix of youthful confidence and emotional intensity helped make her one of Europe’s biggest new music stars while she was still in her teens. Born in 1997 in a suburb of Stockholm, Larsson first found fame in Sweden when her performance of Céline Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” clinched her victory on a TV talent show at the age of 10. After leaving school to focus on her music full time, she released her debut album, 1, in 2014, which topped the charts throughout Scandinavia and landed her a U.S. record deal. By the time she was scoring international hits alongside British rapper Tinie Tempah on “Girls Like” and guesting on David Guetta’s “This One’s for You,” she was fast developing beyond the familiar dance-pop templates and demonstrating a boldness that evoked Beyoncé and Rihanna, two of her biggest influences. (She paid tribute to another inspiration a few years later when she released a sumptuous cover of Robyn’s “With Every Heartbeat.”) “Never Forget You,” a thrilling collaboration with British singer and producer MNEK that also marked Larsson’s first songwriting effort, became her first major U.S. success. Together with the album So Good, the song established the power and allure of Larsson’s sleek yet impassioned brand of EDM-powered pop. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2015 05 Never Forget You (MNEK & Zara Larsson) -1- MILLIONAIRE 2016 03 Lush Life -2- MILLIONAIRE 2016 05 Girls Like (Tinie Tempah feat.

April 21, 20233 yr I suppose her label may have just not allowed it perhaps? Maybe. Very strange though you would think Labrinth would want to make light of his collaboration with Billie as it would broaden the reach of his track to her wide audience. Although it is doing well regardless right now.
April 21, 20233 yr I’d suspect R1 snubbing Morgan Wallen has more to do with them not liking country music as it does his past controversy
April 21, 20233 yr Shame that Can't Tame Her seem to have peaked although I never expected Zara to get a top 25 hit again in the UK so it is up from here (hopefully)!
