March 8, 20242 yr Author :cry: Missed the top 40 this week? :cry: Fred again.., Lil Yachty and Overmono stayinit 8th single from USB Released: 28th February 2024 Label: Warner Music UK Video sQRfp2Xp6U0 Biography Born in 1993, London-based songwriter/producer Fred John Philip Gibson treats his electro and rave-inspired songs as diary entries. But the artist, who performs under the name Fred Again.., doesn’t limit the subject matter to himself. On albums like 2021’s Actual Life (April 14 - December 17 2020) and its sequel, Actual Life 2 (February 2 - October 15 2021), Fred invited his friends into the studio to record their personal stories and then sprinkled them throughout the album. (The obvious exception was an epic Kodak Black sample on “Kahan (Last Year)”.) The songwriter has also worked with stars such as Eminem and Ed Sheeran, but Fred’s longest collaboration is with his brothers, whom he shares his tracks with before they’re released. “It’s such a blessing to work with both of my brothers,” Fred explained in an interview with Apple Music. “I’ll spend hours and hours working on a tune, and they’ll hear it how I will, but without all the baggage. They bring a fresh ear.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Fred again.. 2020 57 Charades (Headie One & Fred again..) -1- 2020 51 GANG (Headie One & Fred again..) -2- 2021 36 Marea (We've Lost Dancing) (Fred again.. & The Blessed Madonna) -1- 2022 78 Jungle -1*- 2022 27 Turn On The Lights again..

March 8, 20242 yr Author :cry: Missed the top 40 this week? :cry: Skrapz, Nines and D-Block Europe Cuban Links Album track from Reflection Released: 1st March 2024 Label: 1&Only Video chCY7rE4tqc Biography West London MC Skrapz uses an indifferent monotone and steely introspection to render tales of hard-earned victories and street-level trauma through decisive gangsta rap. Born Christopher Kyie in 1986, Skrapz began his career as part of a garage and grime group called SLK. In 2011, he launched his solo career with Skrapz Is Back, a debut project laced with his signature matter-of-fact, yet potent lyrical stylings. As part of the road rap scene, Skrapz built his fan base with projects like Skrapz Is Back, Part II (2014), 80's Baby (2014) and The End of the Beginning (2015). The latter project features “They Ain’t Ready”, a single that earned a second wave of attention when boxer Anthony Joshua used it for his introduction song before he defeated Wladimir Klitschko in a 2017 match. Later, Skrapz unloaded Different Cloth (2017) and Be Right Back (2021), which fortified his status as one of road rap’s defining artists. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Skrapz 2018 61 Rubber Bands (Nines feat.

March 8, 20242 yr Author 40 | 18 | 2nd week Central Cee I Will Non-album single Released: 23rd February 2024 Label: Columbia Records Chart Statistics NE (07/03/2024) | 18-40 Sales: 10k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 00 Sales 28 Audio Streaming 10 Video Streaming Video 3E-_Sy32PG8 Biography Oakley Neil H T Caesar-Su (born June 4, 1998), professionally known as Central Cee, is an artist hailing from Shepherds Bush, West London and is proving himself to be one of London’s most exciting emerging artists. Impressing with his short freestyles from as young as 14-years old, Cench originally fell under the trapwave genre through his use of autotune and melodies, as shown on his early 2017 EP 17, and “Next Up?” freestyle. It was through the drop of his singles “Day In The Life” and “Molly” in June 2020, as well as his Mad About Bars Freestyle in August 2020, in which Cench “found his voice” – gliding along 808 bass lines, stuttering hats, and slick cascading flows that add polish to his gritty street-level narration making him one to watch. He garnered major popularity in October 2020 after dropping his single “Loading” which shot him into the limelight – entering at Number 19 on the UK Top 20 Single Charts. Central Cee’s full-debut mixtape Wild West was released on March 12 2021. The project contains the aforementioned singles, as well as “Pinging (6 Figures)”, “Commitment Issues”, “6 for 6” and “Fraud”. Posing as a critical and commercial success, it debuted at Number 2 on the UK Album Charts. He capped off his 2021 by winning the GRM Daily Rated Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. In February 2022, Cench’s sophomore mixtape 23 was released. The project features his September 2021 PinkPantheress sampled viral single “Obsessed With You”, a track in which entered the UK Top 10 Singles Chart at #4. The mixtape also marked Cench’s very first Number 1 project as it debuted on the UK Official Charts at the very top. In July 2022, Cench linked up with renowned American director and founder of Lyrical Lemonade, Cole Bennett and dropped the single “Doja”. In the short time of the snippet being released, the single became a viral sensation and Cench’s biggest song to date. In October 2022, Cench dropped the four-track EP No More Leaks as a surprise, being accompanied by the projects leading single “One Up” hours before to battle the plethora of leaks that were happening a week prior. In June 2023, Cench released “Sprinter” with South London MC Dave, quickly shooting to Number 1 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Cench’s very first. The duo also broke records as the single racked up 13.4 million streams in a week, becoming the most successful UK Rap record of all time. The duo also followed up with their collaborative four-track EP Split Decisions, with all four cuts entering the UK charts. On June 22nd, it was announced that Central Cee signed for Columbia Records. - Genius Top 100 Chart History 2020 19 Loading -2- 2021 44 Pinging (6 Figures) -3- 2021 09 Commitment Issues -4- 2021 44 Day In The Life -1- 2021 16 6 For 6 -5- 2021 62 The Great Escape (Blanco & Central Cee) 2021 17 Meant To Be (Stay Flee Get Lizzy, Fredo & Central Cee) 2021 34 Little Bit Of This -NAS- 2021 04 Obsessed With You -1- 2021 06 Overseas (D-Block Europe feat.

March 8, 20242 yr Author 38 | | 1st week RAYE Worth It. 6th single from My 21st Century Blues Released: 3rd February 2023 Label: RAYE Chart Statistics NE (14/03/2024) | 38 Sales: - Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 23 Sales 00 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video YeQ4CtiJPTo Biography 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 Top 100 Chart History 2016 15 By Your Side (Jonas Blue feat. RAYE) 2016 03 You Don't Know Me (Jax Jones feat.
