March 29, 20242 yr Author 28 | 19 | 33rd week Billie Eilish What Was I Made For? Soundtrack single from Barbie Released: 13th July 2023 Label: Darkroom / Interscope Records On “What Was I Made For?”, her contribution to the Barbie soundtrack, Billie Eilish contemplates life in plastic. “Taking a drive/I was an ideal/Looked so alive/Turns out I'm not real/Just something you paid for/What was I made for?” she reflects, channeling the titular doll as she moves between worlds. If you’ve seen the trailer for the Greta Gerwig-directed film, you’ll know that it’s more than just a breezy ride in a hot-pink Corvette—it's an irreverent take on a complicated pop-cultural icon, and Eilish matches that depth with a poignant ballad. “I don't know how to feel, but I wanna try,” she sings. “I don't know how to feel, but someday I might.” - Apple Music Chart Statistics NE (27/07/2023) | 10-3-2-2-1-2-3-4-11-27-33-25-31-33-38-46-47-50-62-82-x NE (11/01/2024) | 54-50-57-62-68-58-59-79-89-99-16-19-28 Sales: 700k+ Certification: Platinum Status: Standard Chart Ratio 01 Sales 02 Audio Streaming 10 Video Streaming Video cW8VLC9nnTo Biography When singer-songwriter Billie Eilish feels something new, the first thing she does is take out her phone and write it down. “You can write anything,” she told Apple Music in an interview for the Up Next series. “You can say the truth, and you can not tell anyone that it’s the truth—you can just write it, and it’ll be yours.” Raised and homeschooled in Los Angeles by actor/musician parents, Eilish (born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell in 2001) started writing songs when she was around 11, exploring a strain of melancholy, minimal and slightly surrealistic pop influenced as much by Lana Del Rey as the radical honesty of rappers like Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt. Writing and recording with her brother—and producer—Finneas O’Connell at their parents’ house, Eilish released dont smile at me in 2017, followed by an ever-evolving series of singles—a prime example of the fact that, in the streaming era, artists are now free to move directly from their bedrooms into the spotlight. Despite the attention, Eilish is doing her best to stake out a space of freedom and fluidity, expanding her range of collaborators (Vince Staples, Khalid) and dodging easy definition. “If people think I have a sound, if people are like, ‘Oh yeah, her sound is this,’ if someone asks you what my sound is and you have an answer for them—you’re wrong,” she told Beats 1’s Zane Lowe. “Instead of trying to find a sound, when I want to make something and when I have an idea of what I want to make, I’m just going to make that.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Billie Eilish 2018 47 lovely (Billie Eilish & Khalid) -3- MILLIONAIRE 2018 21 when the party's over -2*- MILLIONAIRE 2018 72 ocean eyes -1- MILLIONAIRE 2018 47 come out and play -NAS- 2019 78 idontwannabeyouanymore -AT- 2019 79 bellyache -2- 2019 06 bury a friend -3*- MILLIONAIRE 2019 13 wish you were gay -IG- 2019 02 bad guy -4*- MILLIONAIRE 2019 60 you should see me in a crown -1*- 2019 77 all the good girls go to hell -5*- 2019 03 everything i wanted -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 2020 01 No Time To Die -OST- 2020 07 my future -1- 2020 02 Therefore I Am -2- 2021 35 Lo Vas A Olvidar (Billie Eilish & ROSALÍA) -OST- 2021 05 Your Power -3- 2021 14 Lost Cause -4- 2021 23 NDA -5- 2021 04 Happier Than Ever -6- 2021 28 Getting Older -AT- 2021 32 Oxytocin -AT- 2022 23 TV -1/2- 2022 33 The 30th -1/2- 2023 69 hotline -PS- 2023 01 What Was I Made For? -OST- 2 x #1 | 7 x Top 5 | 9 x Top 10 | 11 x Top 20 | 18 x Top 40 | 26 x Top 100 Barbie The Album 2023 01 Dance The Night (Dua Lipa) 2023 04 Barbie World (Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice with Aqua) 2023 09 Speed Drive (Charli XCX) 2023 01 What Was I Made For?

March 29, 20242 yr Author 27 | 46 | 4th week Charli XCX Von dutch 1st single from BRAT Released: 29th February 2024 Label: Atlantic Recording Corporation Chart Statistics NE (14/03/2024) | 26-39-46-27 Sales: 30k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 15 Sales 50 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video cwZ1L_0QLjw Biography Whether she’s penning defiantly joyous singles like “I Love It” or exploring her darker side, Charli XCX is proof that you don’t need to stay in one lane to become a massive success. Born Charlotte Aitchison in 1992 in Cambridge, England, to Scottish and Gujarati Indian parents, Charli took up songwriting at 14, lifting her stage name from her instant messenger handle. On the strength of her MySpace uploads and performances at London raves, she landed a record deal at 18, released the modestly successful darkwave cuts “Stay Away” and “Nuclear Seasons”, then hit the big time with 2012’s kiss-off anthem “I Love It”. Originally scrapped from her own album for being too poppy, the beat-pounding re-recording by Swedish duo Icona Pop quickly became a worldwide dance-floor favourite. Her goth-tinged debut album, 2013’s True Romance, and tracks like the psychedelic, Gold Panda-sampling "You (Ha Ha Ha)” soon positioned Charli as the missing link between Grimes’ freak scene, Lorde’s dark melodies, and Carly Rae Jepsen’s sweetness. Never one to repeat herself, she’s built a track record as a prolific songwriter and collaborator, penning hits for Iggy Azalea (“Fancy”) and Selena Gomez (“Same Old Love”) and working with the likes of Lil Yachty, David Guetta and BTS. She even followed up the 2019 eclectic, star-studded Charli with 2020’s intimate how i'm feeling now, an album written with fan input during her six-week pandemic quarantine. One thing is clear: Charli XCX’s creative drive and willingness to take risks has made her one of the most unique, enthralling artists of her era. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2013 01 I Love It (Icona Pop feat.

March 29, 20242 yr Author 26 | 26 | 9th week Good Neighbours Home 1st single from forthcoming studio album Released: 17th January 2024 Label: Some Action Chart Statistics NE (08/02/2024) | 81-40-34-30-26-30-29-26-26 Sales: 90k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 00 Sales 40 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video Nkmmoq1UHIg Biography UK duo Good Neighbours release their stunning debut anthem “Home”, a heartfelt, confidently sensitive ode to friendship that charts an exciting course to come for the Londoners. “Darling, won't you take me home. Hoo-ooo-me…!” Zane Lowe rang in the release with rave reviews and the coveted World First spotlight slot in his January 17th Apple Music show – “Another massive thing happening out of London… Good Neighbors. You cannot go wrong with a whistle hook. I love that.” The band says “We wanted to write a song about the moment you hold a loved one after some time apart. It's such a small moment that has always sparked a visceral feeling for me. So we played with the idea of finding home within another human x” Good Neighbours is a band born out of small towns and spare time. Scott and Oli have neighbouring studios at their building in East London, and first began making music for the project together out of the desire to make something positive and unpolished in a scene where most music felt quite mellow and intimate. Over the course of 2023, they consistently began making music for the love of making music, and only midway through the year decided to create the band to release under. With an urge to rekindle the early 2000's scene of Passion Pit / MGMT etc, Good Neighbours nod to classic songwriting and raucous production, inspired by A24, friendship and a cinematic approach to music. - Boradway World Top 100 Chart History 2024 26 Home -1- 0 x #1 | 0 x Top 5 | 0 x Top 10 | 0 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 1 x Top 100 Social Media Good Neighbours http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

March 29, 20242 yr Author 25 | 20 | 3rd week Ariana Grande bye Album track from eternal sunshine Released: 8th March 2024 Label: Republic Records Chart Statistics NE (21/03/2024) | 13-20-25 Sales: 30k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 83 Sales 17 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video PlaiDnJyabE Biography Armed with a mesmerizing, nimble soprano—and a vocal register often likened to Mariah Carey’s and Christina Aguilera’s—Ariana Grande began her career as a child star on Broadway and Nickelodeon before transforming into a pop and R&B powerhouse. Instantly recognizable thanks to her signature ponytail, cat ears, babydoll dresses, and breezy self-confidence, her slyly sexual personal brand has, like that of the Spice Girls before her, become an iconic image of young female power. But Grande is more than a symbol: Over the course of several albums and scores of hit singles—beginning with 2013’s “The Way” (featuring Mac Miler) through The Weeknd-assisted “Love Me Harder” and “Break Free” (featuring Zedd)—she has consistently outshined her male collaborators and deftly parlayed her stardom into activism. An LGBTQ advocate and outspoken feminist (“I’m tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man’s past, present, or future PROPERTY,” she tweeted in 2016), she uses her platform to confront issues like misogyny, sexism, homophobia, and bullying, spreading a message of love over all. Nowhere was this more clear than in May 2017: After terrorists attacked her concert in Manchester, England, killing 22 and injuring hundreds, Grande continued her tour. "Perspective changes your life,” she told Beats 1’s Ebro Darden. "You want to stay in the moment and try not to give into fear, because obviously the whole point of finishing the tour was being there for my fans. You want to set the same example and keep going.” And that she did: Her Max Martin-produced smash “No Tears Left to Cry,” an escapist dance-floor triumph released a year after the attack, sends a message of hope and healing, with a dose of hear-me-roar attitude. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2013 41 The Way (feat.

March 29, 20242 yr Author 24 | | 1st week Olivia Rodrigo so american Album track from GUTS (spilled) Released: 22nd March 2024 Label: Olivia Rodrigo Chart Statistics NE (04/04/2024) | 24 Sales: - Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 00 Sales 00 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video W-PGNyhmSKA Biography A few weeks after Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” became the biggest song in the world, Saturday Night Live ran a sketch that featured a bunch of middle-aged guys shooting pool in a dive bar. One puts “drivers license” on the jukebox. Another complains that it just sounds like a teenage girl sitting alone at a piano. By the end of their discourse, they’re all in tears, singing along. “I was driving around my neighborhood listening to really sad songs, like, crying in the car,” Rodrigo told Apple Music. “And I got home and I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll write a song about this: crying in the car.’” Rodrigo had tapped into a universal experience: The middle-aged guys weren’t teenage girls, but they’d also driven around listening to sad songs. Rodrigo was just 17 when the song came out, but she had been getting ready for years. Born in Temecula, California, in 2003, she started lessons in piano, voice, and acting as a child, and went on to star in Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. But, really, what could prepare you for breaking the global single-week streaming record for a female artist? Especially on your first single? And getting a nod from Taylor Swift in the meantime? (Along with “drivers license” winning the Apple Music Award for Top Song of the Year in 2021, Rodrigo’s debut LP, SOUR, was the Top Album of the Year and Rodrigo herself was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year.) Like Swift—and Lorde, too—Rodrigo has a knack for conjuring big feelings through small details: an ex singing along to their Billy Joel with his new love (“deja vu”), reading his self-help books “so you’d think that I was smart” (“enough for you”). Her content is all-caps, but her delivery is lowercase, lacing bedroom pop with a vulnerability and anger rare for teen pop: “Where’s my f***ing teenage dream?” she wonders on “brutal.” “I’m the biggest emo drama queen,” Rodrigo tells Apple Music. Maybe. But the key to letting it out is keeping it together. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2020 32 All I Want -OST- 2021 01 drivers license -1- MILLIONAIRE 2021 04 deja vu -2- 2021 01 good 4 u -3- MILLIONAIRE 2021 05 traitor -4- 2021 17 favorite crime -AT- 2021 36 jealousy, jealousy -AT- 2023 01 vampire -1- 2023 03 bad idea right? -2- 2023 07 get him back! -3- 2023 45 the grudge -AT- 2023 12 Can't Catch Me Now -OST- 2023 78 all-american bitch -AT- 2024 24 so american -AT- 3 x #1 | 6 x Top 5 | 7 x Top 10 | 9 x Top 20 | 12 x Top 40 | 14 x Top 100 Social Media Olivia Rodrigo http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png
