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

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

Yes for Queen Loreen

 

Amazing song with an amazing peak. Let’s hope it has some longevity to it

 

Great to see 4 Eurovision songs on the top 10, although I can’t believe how much auto-tune is on the last section of Cha Cha Cha!

Highest charting Eurovision winning song since Nicole - A Little Peace in 1982!

Edit: actually joint with Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now in 1987

 

Hold Me Now will be on Top of the Pops tonight on BBC4 !!

I can't imagine Loreen was anywhere close to Calvin/Ellie unfortunately.

 

Feels so weird that this has actually outpeaked 'Euphoria' though, but I'm here for it nonetheless!

I can’t even really begrudge Miracle, it’s still such a banger for me.
Impossible. Her first song was in 1999.

 

HIS first song that charted was the winning song of Eurovision 1980 - What's Another Year which reached #1

Fantastic to see four Eurovision songs in the top 10 for the first time ever! Two more in the top 50 as well with Unicorn at #45 and Who The Hell Is Edgar at #48 (love to see the latter placing so high despite getting 0 points from the UK!) and an additional six in the top 100 (Solo at #56, Because of You #63, Promise #79, Break A Broken Heart #92, Évidemment #94 and Heart of Steel #95)
#41 Radiohead - Creep

:cheeseblock:

Oooft! Another GoTG song! :wub:

 

Unicorn #45

I'm sad the first 3 couldn't manage top 40! Especially 'Unicorn' and 'Who The Hell Is Edgar?'! But still pleased for them nonetheless!
