Afternoon all! As always, NO SPOILERS PLEASE! In a week where the #1 is this uncertain it's particularly important to stress this! Thank you.

 

Don't actually mind who #1 is really, but I think I'd prefer Billie because Dua seems more likely to stand a chance next week!

ten years since Ellie Goulding’s first EVER NUMBER ONE SINGLE :jameela:

 

hopefully Dua for number one tonight!

Really hoping Billie has somehow made it! But I do like Duas song a lot too.

 

Certain Dua fans have been insufferable, trolling or not, it's been giving stan Twitter 🥴

Team Billie but I suspect Dua has it and I don't think it's as close as people think it is (i.e. I presume a +3k lead at least for Dua! - which is obvz close, but not as close as the mids would have you believe it would be).

Retro faves!

Fredo and Eric IV

Quarter Past 3

Biography

 

Hailing from West London's Mozart Estate, Marvin William Bailey lived the street life as part of the Harrow Road Boys -- before translating his struggle-led lifestyle to the mic under the alias of Fredo. Delivering his verses in a blunt, almost effortless style, the rapper produced radio anthems and underground classics in equal measure, finding his biggest success alongside Dave on the #1-charting "Funky Friday."

 

Few debut singles have as much impact as Fredo's "They Ain't 100": marking not only Bailey's first single, but his first time on the mic, the 2016 track received millions of streams across the UK, swiftly landing an OVO Sound Radio co-sign from Canadian superstar Drake. The same year, he released two further singles - the swaggering "TrapSpot" and bassy "Pattern Gang" - before featuring on the remix to Kojo Funds and Abra Cadabra's "Dun Talkin" alongside Yxng Bane, Frisco, and JME. With a forthright, almost-spoken delivery, Fredo's narratives embraced the authentic experiences of the Harrow Road Boyz, capped off with the heavy, swaggering soundscapes of the mid-2010s trap scene.

 

Soon, Fredo was building the foundations for his debut mixtape. In early 2017, the rapper dropped the brash "Get the Pot," while an appearance on the Fire in the Booth freestyle series cemented him as one of the city's hottest rising talents. The tape, titled Get Rich or Get Recalled, arrived in March that year: lacing the bravado of his work thus far with a smattering of conflicted street tales, Fredo's debut tape provided the high-stakes narratives and blunt-force braggadocio fans had come to expect from the West London talent. Sophomore tape Tables Turn arrived just a year later, taking a noticeably more radio-ready tone with traces of afroswing and a feature from Hackney's Not3s. Yet it was a quick pair of singles that soon turned Fredo from hot talent into national superstar: an appearance on Stay Flee Get Lizzy's "Ay Caramba" provided the rapper his first top-40 appearance, before Dave collaboration "Funky Friday" landed Fredo the coveted #1 spot in October 2018. A modern classic of the UK rap scene, the track saw both MCs trade slick, cocky bars over a minimal beat, marking both artists' first chart-topping appearance.

 

Moving into 2019, Fredo used his newfound momentum to drop debut album Third Avenue, which painted a rounded picture of the MC and produced top-40 hits "All I Ever Wanted" (with Dave, #15) and "BMT" (#25). Another major success came just a few months later with MIST collaboration "So High," a bouncy, club-led banger that peaked at the #7 spot on the UK charts. After closing out the year with a show-stopping appearance on Daily Duppy, as well as charting singles "Netflix & Chill" (#13) and "I'm the One" (#39), the MC set to work on his sophomore album, Money Can't Buy Happiness. Previewed by anthems including "Scorpion" (#37), "Back to Basics" (#20), and third Dave collaboration "Money Talks" (#3), Fredo's second tape marked new directions for the stalwart MC - such as his UK drill debut - while continuing to deliver the weighty trap on which he built his name. - Apple Music

I like both songs involved in the battle but really love Billie's so hopefully she takes it tonight :wub: then Dua next week perhaps

 

My top 3 songs from each retro chart (not at work today so why not):

 

2022

01. Beyoncé - BREAK MY SOUL

02. LF SYSTEM - Afraid to Feel

03. Eliza Rose & Interplanetary Criminal - B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)

 

largely meh top 10 last year but a great top 3 at least :lol:

 

2018

01. 5 Seconds of Summer - Youngblood

02. Drake - In My Feelings

03. George Ezra - Shotgun

 

okay never mind this was the worst of any of these top 10s :drama: 'Shotgun' (as well as 'One Kiss') really takes me back to that warm summer right after graduating from Uni

 

2013

01. Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness

02. Jay-Z - Holy Grail (feat. Justin Timberlake)

03. Arctic Monkeys - Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High

 

10 years since finishing GCSEs :drama: and now a decade on the Lana song (in original form) and Arctics one are still really popular.

 

2008

01. Coldplay - Viva La Vida

02. The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved

03. Rihanna - Disturbia

 

Now this was the summer leading up to the start of secondary school so quite a few neat life milestone anniversary years at the moment :P 'Viva La Vida' has aged so well

 

2003

01. Richard X - Finest Dreams (feat. Kelis)

02. Busted - Sleeping With The Light On

03. Blu Cantrell - Breathe (feat. Sean Paul)

 

Looooove that Richard X reworking of 'The Finest' although probably helps that I knew it before the original.

 

1998

Biography

 

ANOTR

The art of blending, mixing, compiling and making music into something you’ve never heard before whilst looking for new ways to approach house music. That’s what ANOTR stands for. Characterised by their hypnotic, energetic and slick beats with influences from disco, soul, funk, jazz and every thing in between, their music is a blend between the old and the new, whilst finding the sweet spot between what is made for clubs and what is made for live performances. The Amsterdam - based pair believe that the way to move forward is to follow what is right for you as an artist, instead of following what is right in public opinion. Expect the unexpected. Feel inspired by what you already know about music but be open to learn even more. ANOTR will guide you t h rough their way of thinking, interpreting mu sic and their way of challenging you to hear what else is possible. Act before you think, forget the rules, and let us take you on our journey into sounds selected, curated and created by ANOTR. - RA

 

Abel Balder

After amassing 250 million streams with his instrumental beats on Spotify, Amsterdam born and raised Abel Balder took on a new challenge when underground house duo ANOTR asked him to contribute his signature guitar sound to their debut album ‘The Reset’. Over time the sessions took a different turn when Abel started to sing as well and the enthusiasm Jesse and Oz showed him about his vocal skills, gave the young singer the push he needed to sing on a record for the first time, leading to the creation of Relax My Eyes, Vertigo and Your Mind. The love they all received when ANOTR played the tracks in their DJ sets, made Abel aware that he could move people with his voice and slowly he started to realise singing was his calling all along. Using songwriting as a tool to integrate emotions, heal subconscious wounds and harmonise life’s contrasting energies, Abel’s impulsive nature and love for a wide range of genres inspire an eclectic and recognisable yet refreshing sound. - Spotify

"arguably THE dance track of the year"

 

very arguably

Dua not even mentioned as a contender?

Hang on, was only one of the true contenders for #1 actually announced as a contender?

hopefully quality wins and Billie is #1

 

love Dua but that FN leftover is really a leftover
