Good to see Gunna entering the top 20 now, wouldn't mind that being a future top 10. Yay for Jorja managing to climb another place too - interested to see if the 'Gypsy Woman' mashup charts in its own right (still not completely sure if it's combined or not).

 

Pfft at 'Baby Don't Hurt Me' re-overtaking 'UNHEALTHY' -_-

 

I thought Olivia Dean was that BJSC artist from a while back but apparently not??

 

You may be thinking of Olivia O'Brien and/or Olivia Holt? There are a lot of Olivias in pop :lol:

Biography

 

D-Block Europe

“We’re the ones that are pushing this boundary,” D-Block Europe’s Young Adz told Apple Music. “People who are signing urban music over here—they call it urban, we call it pop in the streets—that ain’t street music. We’re doing street, UK, wavy music, front-lining it.” They might not consider themselves pop, but by the most literal definition, DBE are just that. Chart positions, sold-out arenas and a nomination for the 2020 BRIT Award for British Group (before they’d even released a debut album) all make them one of UK rap’s most popular acts. D-Block Europe was originally a collective that called upon various London MCs, but Adz and childhood friend Dirtbike LB have emerged as both the engine room and executive board of the operation. They met at Sedgehill School in South London, where Adz was dropping mixtapes from the age of 13. He signed an ultimately fruitless major-label deal at 15 before coming under the patronage of NY rap heavyweight Jadakiss, who offered features, support slots and license to use The LOX’s D-Block Records name. With a series of self-released singles and mixtapes, Young Adz and Dirtbike LB took their place at UK rap’s top table during the late 2010s. Leavening trap’s chilly textures and portraits of road life with sticky Auto-Tuned hooks, their music is notable for its nimble wordplay and candour. While D-Block quickly gathered notoriety for their unfiltered bedroom braggadocio (“Kitchen Kings”), their willingness to open up about mental health and therapy (“Prescription Drugs”) has made them a standout presence in UK rap. It’s all been done independently by the industrious duo (63 new tracks released across three mixtapes during 2019 alone). They’ve continuously waved away offers from labels, confident that no one can guide their career as well as they can. Every award, Top 5 release or filled arena only strengthens their self-belief. “When you see Messi kick ball, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing,” said Young Adz. “Sometimes, the people have to choose you because they’re like, ‘We ain’t never going to see this again—from their sounds, from what they talk about.’ Our personalities shine through our music. We’re bigger personalities than rappers.” - Apple Music

 

Clavish

It’s fair to say that Clavish is on an upward trajectory after finding consistency with releasing music and often finding success in how it’s being received by the culture. In 2021 he released his EP 2022 a five-track teaser into what a Clavish project would sound like and this year alone he has released ‘Lately’, ‘Greece’ and ‘Sold Out Shows’. In his latest release ‘Public Figure’ the North-West rapper acknowledges his newfound position in rap culture, arguably being seen as one of the most exciting up-and-coming rappers in a new generation that comes directly after the crop of Dave, Fredo, J Hus, AJ Tracey and Mostack. Navigating his success, like all rappers he still struggles to remove himself from certain situations that were familiar to him in his old life, as he raps with quality cadence “You know I’m an artist but if I see three numbers you know I’m spinning the coop.” - New Wave Magazine

As It Was could potentially go back to T10 next week though right as other tracks are moving to ACR before it? Fingers crossed it’s on ACR the following week in any case and stays away.

Miracle, Giving Me, Dancing is Healing and React are all likely to hit ACR next week, so it could happen unless the Taylor album tracks do amazingly well

anyway I despair for the taste of UK rap fans if DBE's new single goes top 10 this week when Stormzy was lumped with a #11 peak just last week

 

It’s a shame the Stormzy one is flopping, far better than those that made the top 2.

Biography

 

Rudimental

Music knows roots but not borders, and the same is true of Rudimental. Since forming in 2011, the London quartet of producers (Piers Aggett, Kesi Dryden, Amir Izadkhah, and Leon Rolle) has faithfully championed UK dance music’s hybrid spirit, fusing drum ’n’ bass, house, reggae, and more into a soulful amalgam. When they appeared with early singles like the barnstorming 2012 anthem “Feel the Love,” there was nothing else like them out there: UK underground dance tilted toward cozily retro house, while EDM was in ascendance around the world. Rudimental sidestepped both trends, favoring songwriting over club tracks and pulling from a broad range of inspirations—though songs like the shuffling “Spoons” proved them adept at the deepest strains of UK garage, and “Waiting All Night” could dwarf the biggest main-stage banger. Rather than hog the limelight, the producers turned the lens back on the multicultural stomping grounds of their native Hackney, whose famous Peace Carnival mural is depicted on the cover of their debut album, 2013’s Home. Similar themes of solidarity and community uplift powered subsequent albums; so did the group’s knack for finding exactly the right singer for their songs. In addition to their rotating cast of top-shelf contemporary vocalists like MNEK, Sinead Harnett, and Ed Sheeran, they brought in bona fide legends like soul icon Bobby Womack and South African choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. It’s a way of acknowledging that, much as dance music needs to keep moving forward, it’s nothing if it forgets its past. - Apple Music

 

Charlotte Plank

Charlotte Plank is a 22 year old singer-songwriter-producer inspired by an eclectic array of artists, genres and eras from 90s grunge and DnB to modern Pop.

Charlotte has been set up for an exciting 2023; featured in NMEs 100 emerging artists for the year and as one of the legendary Zane Lowe's artists to watch in 2023. - Spotify

 

Vibe Chemistry

Vibe Chemistry is a UK based Drum & Bass producer best known for his Radio 1 play-listed track ‘Balling’ and other vibe filled hits such as ‘Living Like This’ & most recently ‘Baddest’. Since 2012 Vibe Chemistry has been inspired by all spectrums of Drum & Bass and since July 2021 landed his first label deal with DnB Allstars with his ‘Balling EP’. Balling hit #1 in the UK Top 200 Shazam Chart, #1 on Beatport, was B-Listed at Radio 1 and sat top 40 in the UK singles chart for 7x weeks. After this success he also released an Edit inviting talented vocalists to put their spin on his track. On Spotify alone he now has 8 (and counting) tracks with over 1 million plays, showing that the future is looking highly positive for Vibe Chemistry and we can’t wait to hear what he releases next. - Spotify

Biography

 

Hannah Laing

Dundee DJ-producer Hannah Laing is rapidly making her mark on dance music. The explosive success of her early career saw her on lineups beside major players in the industry, supporting the likes of Carl Cox, MK, FISHER and CamelPhat. Following that she spent 3 seasons as an Ibiza resident when she was 19 years old, and has since performed all over the world as a lady behind the decks with the crowd at her fingertips. Hannah’s deep understanding of the dancefloor stems from her parent’s love of electronic genres – spanning house and trance, her childhood was soundtracked by unforgettable figures such as the likes of Sasha, Roger Sanchez, Paul Oakenfold and Dave Pearce. Launching her very own podcast and club night ‘Hannah’s Choice’ in 2019 saw a running of sell out events across Scotland hosting headliners like Ben Hemsley and Hannah Wants. Her coveted edits and bootlegs have sparked global hype, but particularly her take on Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor, which has received support from Jaguar Solardo, Cloonee and more. Stacking up releases on acclaimed labels such as Jax Jones’ WUGD, Spinnin’ Records, Solardo’s Solaand Patrick Topping’s TRICK where ‘And Back’ was Trick’s Tasty Techno bestselling track, Sarah Story’s Future Track ID and received support from Danny Howard and Pete Tong. This all comes alongside bookings at iconic venues like London’s Printworks, SWG3 Glasgow, Creamfields, and the legendary DC10 as part of the Patrick Toppings first TRICK takeover, plus the legendary Ministry of Soundfor the first installment of Jax Jones Presents: Midnight Snacks. This year is set to be Hannah’s best yet, with a back-to-back summer schedule taking her across the biggest festivals and club stages in Europe, plus further releases on their way. - last.fm

 

RoRo

Hailing from the island of Barbados, RoRo wears her musical influences on her skin - via tattoos of her idols Etta James, Erykah Badu, Lauren Hill and Nina Simone inked onto her arms. Equipped with attitude (and choruses) to spare, RoRo showcased her ability to reach audiences far beyond her island roots with her debut EP - 'Mood Forever'. Earning Annie Mac's 'New Name' on BBC Radio 1 with her debut single, Mine, RoRo went on to gain further support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC 1xtra, Capital Xtra and beyond. Follow-up singles Dance with the Devil and Mood Forever landed support from radio and online tastemakers in UK, U.S., Europe and across the Caribbean. An interview feature on Edith Bowman's Play Next podcast gave a glimpse into RoRo's world and the writing behind it. 2020 also saw RoRo reactively release Black - Palace of Me, in response to the Black Lives Matter movement. A one-take track that explores black positivity, recorded over a year prior and not intended for a release, it showcased the depth of RoRo's writing ability and yet another musical style that she effortlessly carries. - Spotify

First Top 10 hit to share its name with a country since Peru

Third, if you count LDN by Lily Allen in 2006.

Edited by IdentFan101

I'm sure DBE probably isn't going to be much of an improvement but huzzah that Switch Disco are gone from the top 10 even before ACR. Good that 'As It Was' seems to be finally falling off a bit of its own accord now too, hopefully back to ACR after next week.

 

So DBE top 10 and with a potential album boost coming it could go even higher next week. Fingers crossed the 3 Taylor songs push it out

 

It is already behind 1 Taylor song so only 2 more can push it down!

 

For now just adding another to the list of UK rap hits this year to peak at either #9 or #10, with 'Sprinter' and 'Who Told You' being the only ones to go higher. Can definitely see it becoming the third UK rap top 8 hit of the year next week :P

Pakistan is the first since Peru. Not the second one ever.

Biography

 

Peggy Gou is a South Korean-born DJ and producer based in Berlin. During the 2010s, she became internationally renowned for energetic DJ sets, which dreamily flow through various styles of techno, house, and electro. A 2019 volume of the DJ-Kicks series demonstrated her eclectic approach. Her own tracks, such as the acclaimed 2018 single "It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)" and 2021's "I Go," are vibrant, joyous productions that echo vintage deep house and post-disco without sounding like throwbacks. Gou seemed to appear out of nowhere in 2016, releasing no less than four 12" EPs of bright, slightly hazy house tracks during the course of the year. In actuality, she had been producing and DJing for several years -- she learned to beatmatch in Korea in 2009 and resumed the hobby a couple years later, when she was attending the London College of Fashion. After racking up gigs during the next few years, as well as moving to Berlin, she made her breakthrough in 2016, releasing two Art of War EPs on Radio Slave's Rekids imprint, "Day Without Yesterday" on Phonica White, and Seek for Maktoop on Technicolour. She also played dozens of gigs across the globe, including dates with Moodymann, the Blessed Madonna, Jackmaster, and others. Following an even busier 2017, which included her first American tour and a month-long BBC Radio 1 residency, Gou returned to the studio. Her Once EP was released by Ninja Tune in 2018, led by "It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)," a catchy single featuring Gou's Korean-language vocals. "Travelling Without Arriving" was issued by Phonica White soon afterward. In 2019, Gou released the two-song Moment EP on her own Gudu Records, as well as her first mix CD, a volume of !K7's long-running DJ-Kicks series. She was featured on "Jigoo," the lead track from Maurice Fulton's Gudu-issued Earth EP, in 2020. The following year, Gou released the downtempo single "Nabi" (featuring OHHYUK) and the electro-disco tune "I Go." - Spotify
