Biography

 

UK singer, songwriter, and producer Kenya Grace has unveiled her new single, “Strangers” today. The track notably marks her debut for Warner Records’ flagship dance label Major Recordings. On the track, vibey synths wrap around an addictive drum ‘n’ bass core. At the same time, she layers evocative vocals over this propulsive backdrop. Her gentle delivery barely cracks a whisper as she captures the outpour of emotion at the end of a relationship. It culminates on a disarmingly catchy chorus as she sings, “Then one random night when everything changes, you won’t reply and we’ll go back to strangers.” Stay tuned for the premiere of a cinematic music video to accompany the song. Earlier this year, Kenya lit up streaming platforms with “Meteor.” Thus far, it has generated north of 4 million streams and 250K YouTube views. Earning acclaim, STEREOFOX raved, “There’s no stopping the beautiful energy it carries.” At the same time, her fan base continues to rapidly expand. She regularly pulls the curtain back on her process with intriguing social media posts. She frequently showcases her production and vocal skills with live performance videos. As a result, her cumulative following is just shy of 1 million. Plus, Soundcloud christened her an “Ascending Artist.” - Prelude Press

Biography

 

Some call the end of summer the “slow news season”—school's still out, vacation is in full swing, and headlines tend to get weird—and Doja Cat (born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini in 1995) knew just what to do about it. In August of 2018, the Los Angeles singer and rapper dropped “Mooo!”, a sultry R&B jam, thick with double entendres and sung from the perspective of a cow. It went viral, thanks to an unforgettable, improbably catchy chorus that had people wondering: Could she possibly be for real? But Doja, who released her debut EP, Purrr!, in 2014, and her first album, Amala, in 2018, was no novelty act. In the years since, she has proven herself one of pop music’s savviest, most audacious characters. She raps nimbly, switching up her cadence from one syllable to the next, and her pop-culture nods (referencing actresses Tia and Tamera Mowry or sampling blink-182 and Paul Anka) are just as unpredictable as her dizzying flow. Her presentation is both tough and coquettish. As she demonstrated over and over on her 2019 album, Hot Pink, she assumes a fun and fundamentally empowered stance in her singing and rapping about sex. And woe to anyone who might take issue with that: “Sex is meaningful, it is!” she told Apple Music, with her trademark defiant charm. - Apple Music

I'm so tired of Doja being number 1 with that song. zzzz

 

Kenya or Tate to overtake her next week.

I do actually like 'you broke me first' or did tbh (unpopular opinion) but I'd be happy to see Tate get something a bit more catchier as her highest peak single and 'greedy' does keep growing too!

Hoping Kenya has a shot at #1 next week, she's come so close to overtaking Doja on Spotify but stalling just short in the last few days!

 

(I wouldn't rule out Jung Kook & Jack Harlow debuting at #1 but we'll see)

Biography

 

There’s a lovely moment a little ways into Apple Music’s Songwriter documentary about Ed Sheeran in which Sheeran, jet-lagged and carrying a cup of tea, straggles out into a yard in Malibu at dawn, sits down at his laptop and begins writing a song about the moment right in front of him: the crisp air, the birdsong, the hot tea, the day ahead. He gets a full verse in, melody and all, then pauses. “Songs are weird things,” he says. “How so?” an interviewer asks. “They just come and go,” Sheeran says, smiling. “And they never give you any warning.” For Sheeran, they seem to come pretty reliably. Born in 1991 in Halifax, England, he started out gigging on the UK pub circuit before releasing his first studio album, +, in 2011, and has since become one of the most unstoppable singer-songwriters in music, forging a light blend of folk, pop, hip-hop and dance that feels slick but lived-in, intimate but universal. Whether on his own (“Sing”, “The A Team”, “Shape of You”, “Perfect”) or in collaboration with artists from Taylor Swift to Eminem to Justin Bieber, Sheeran has a unique ability to strike a chord that feels both bittersweet and redemptive, good-natured and genuine: the hopeless romantic who convinces you he might just be right. In 2017, he was made a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, touching Prince Charles on the arm while shaking his hand—a breach of royal protocol, and an appealingly human one at that. - Apple Music

Biography

 

Jung Kook

South Korean singer, songwriter, and producer Jung Kook is best known as a member and main vocalist of K-pop boy band BTS. Debuting with the group in 2013, he went on to earn global success alongside his bandmates, selling out stadiums around the world and topping the charts in multiple markets. In addition to his activities with BTS, he has not only appeared on various television reality shows, but also recorded and produced his own solo material, like 2020's "Still with You"; 2022's collaboration with Charlie Puth "Left and Right"; the Qatar World Cup anthem "Dreamers," and his official debut single, 2023's "Seven." - Apple Music

 

Jack Harlow

“I still wanna be one of the greats,“ rapper Jack Harlow tells Apple Music about his commitment to his craft. “I’m very ambitious about this. And I think I have what it takes to really make a mark because I love the art.” Harlow, born in 1998 in Kentucky, is well on his way to turning that dream into reality. Growing up in Louisville’s Highlands neighborhood, Harlow started writing and rapping at the age of 12 and released his bouncy first EP before graduating high school in late 2015. Since his more fully realized mixtape, 18, dropped in 2016, Harlow has continued to inject his chill party rap and poppy beats with “addictive, candy-coated qualities,” as he described it to Apple Music. “It’s good on the ears.” With 2017’s Gazebo, he established a more mature sound, moodily riding through his hometown with the intense “Dark Knight” and keeping things dreamy using synth pulses on the regret-laden “Wasted Youth.” It’s a vibe he honed on multiple mixtapes in the late 2010s, keeping with a feel he says is representative of Louisville—smooth and laidback—while exploring elements of trap, which is native to his adopted home base of Atlanta. With every beat on 2020’s punchy, swaggering Sweet Action, Harlow moved closer to the place he sees as his inevitable destination: “On top.” - Apple Music

Sales rip will be late tonight unless another chart mod gets on it - I'm off to a gig :cool:

Can somebody please correct Jack on this Olivia Rodrigo "fact"?

 

What was said?

not Prada now being Raye's second-highest charting single now

 

Joint second-highest with two other songs if that's any consolation.

New entries and new peaks outside the top 40:

 

41. Jungle - Back On 74 (+19)

52. Suicidal-Idol - Ecstacy (+13)

56. Troye Sivan - Got Me Started (NEW)

62. Travis Scott - I Know (+2)

75. Campbell & Alcemist - Would You (Go To Bed With Me) (+6)

81. Kylie Minogue - Hold On To Now (NEW)

86. Paul Russell - Lil Boo Thang (+1)

96. Rushy - Pressure (+3)

98. G-Eazy - Tumblr Girls (NEW)

99. Blink-182 - More Than You Know (NEW)

OMG! That Jung Kook and Jack Harlow song is really catchy. I wouldn't mind if it debuts at number 1. :D

 

Kylie's Tension at #47 and Suicidal-Idol's Ecstacy at #52 today. :D

Jungle at #41 - hopefully another climb next week!

I'm so tired of Doja being number 1 with that song. zzzz

 

Kenya or Tate to overtake her next week.

[/quote

 

Paint The Town Red is now on 2 weeks of decline so hopefully not much longer to wait !

Edited September 29, 20232 yr by mrpopquiz

Oh so close for Jungle, hopefully next week! (Coming to be the first week with top 40 debuts for 2 artists whose names start with 'Jung' etc. xx)

 

Nice new peak for SUICIDAL-IDOL, also yay for 'I KNOW ?' getting a new peak although a bit lower than I hoped for based on its position in Dan's Spotify OCC rules update.

 

Well done blink-182 just about being 3 for 3 on top 100 hits with their latest comeback too.

Tension's sales:

 

53,237 units (20,168 CDs, 19,159 vinyl albums, 4,825 cassettes, 5,122 digital downloads and 3,963 sales-equivalent streams)

 

The streams are very low considering the market has been up since Disco AND she had a hit to back the album.

 

BMG needs to find a way to market her better for the streaming audience, not just BBC2 and Graham Norton. For reference, Pink did 5.6k in streams.

Has it? :???:

 

Assuming you must know better than me, but I've been seeing everyone everywhere saying it's actually down!

Travis always does better on Spotify than Apple tbf, so that's probably why.

 

Also Hell N Back seems to have been reset again for no reason and is back at #49
