Biography

 

Born in 1990 in the small Irish town of Bray, Andrew John Hozier-Byrne—better known as Hozier—was first heard in the company of others, contributing his preternaturally powerful voice to Ireland’s renowned Trinity Orchestra and the choral troupe Anúna. But where those early pursuits immersed him in his country’s rich musical traditions, his first single as a solo artist took aim at its most formidable institution. Few debut tracks come out swinging as hard as “Take Me to Church,” a doomy anti-gospel sermon that set its crosshairs on the hectoring and hypocrisies of the Catholic Church, delivered in a commanding, corrupted-choir-boy voice imbued with equal doses of grace and grit. That striking single topped charts around the world and scored Hozier a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year, but the self-titled debut album it introduced also showcased a singer-songwriter with a deft command of sweet soulful rockers (“Someone New”) and dreamy folk reveries (“Like Real People Do”). The dichotomy between rage and romanticism would only become more pronounced on 2019’s Wasteland Baby!, where some of Hozier’s prettiest performances to date (like the delicate finger-picked hymn “Shrike”) rub up against the righteous fury of “Nina Cried Power,” a spirited, Mavis Staples-assisted protest anthem that takes Hozier back to church to further rattle the steeple. - Apple Music

Biography

 

The country world feigned surprise when, after three albums of Music Row-indebted songcraft, Taylor Swift formally embraced pop on 2012’s Red. But no one should have been shocked: Any 14-year-old capable of persuading her parents to move from suburban Pennsylvania to Nashville for her career clearly has ambition to burn. And the thrill of following Swift’s rise has been watching her execute it flawlessly, largely because her melodic intelligence is equal to that ambition. Her early, youthful love songs heralded 2010's newly self-possessed Speak Now—which showed off her scathing wit—and evolved into knowing, ironclad pop fare that held its own against boisterous Max Martin production on 1989, her fifth album, titled after her birth year. Throughout, her songwriting has blurred the lines between the public and private, burying enough real-life clues (about, say, scarves and Starbucks) to make clear that only Swift can own her narrative, thank you very much, while still retaining a lyrical elegance. Though 2017’s reputation might have been perceived as a gorgeously constructed piece of dramatic theater—its attendant heroes and villains all real-life characters from Swift's public feuds—all that spectacle proved an attention-grabbing cover for her most romantic album yet. She turned up the romance even more on 2019’s Lover, but it was 2020’s folklore and its companion, evermore—ruminative, relatively lo-fi albums written and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic—that earned her the Apple Music Award for Songwriter of the Year. She followed those up in 2022 with Midnights, which she wrote and produced with Jack Antonoff, and described as "the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life." In 2023, Swift undertook one of the most ambitious road shows of all time: the multi-year Eras Tour, which saw her presenting new and classic material across more than 100 locales worldwide. It was just one of many reasons she was named Apple Music's Artist of the Year for 2023. - Apple Music

Obsessed to the point of just having googled where the real Black Dog pub is in London :D

Hozier saving this top 3. :whip:

do we know how much Taylor's album has sold?

 

More than 200k but less than 300k

Fortnight's a great track, it's the song I've paid most attention to this week from the album (mostly by virtue of it being the single) but I think I'll gravitate more towards some of the other tracks in time. Still, glad to see Taylor at #1 again!

Biography

 

Navigating UK rap stardom is a tricky thing, but Aitch has it down pat. He’s chameleonic like the pop stars he collabs with, gritty like the grime artists that inspired him. Born Harrison Armstrong in Manchester in 1999, Aitch grew up removed from the London scene, where grime blossomed during his formative years, but soaked up the music from afar. Then, as a teenager, he started rapping, building a following online with his snaking flows and dizzying rhyme schemes. Things took off in 2018 when he dropped his menacing debut single “Straight Rhymez,” and Aitch has since risen to the pantheon of UK hip-hop. In tracks like the 2019 remix of Ed Sheeran’s “Take Me Back To London,” you’ll hear his transition away from grime to sticky pop-rap, but his dexterous raps remind that he hasn’t lost touch with his roots. - Apple Music

Biography

 

Fifth Harmony hits such as “Worth It” established Normani Kordei as a strong, soulful R&B singer, but the vocalist shows off even more range as a solo artist. On the trap-kissed 2018 Khalid collaboration “Love Lies,” she dips into her lower register, lending gravitas to lyrics questioning a potential partner’s intentions. In contrast, singing with Sam Smith on 2019’s “Dancing with a Stranger,” Normani matches their aching croon with an expressive, longing tone. Born in 1996, the avowed Beyoncé superfan grew up in New Orleans and Houston—her family moved to Texas after Hurricane Katrina—and recorded her first song at age 13. She competed as an individual singer on The X Factor USA in 2012 before pairing up with her future Fifth Harmony bandmates on the show. After officially going solo in 2018, she increased her output considerably: The next year, she issued the glossy R&B-pop song “Motivation” (a co-write with Ariana Grande) and teamed up with Grande and Nicki Minaj for the dancehall-inspired Charlie’s Angels soundtrack song “Bad to You.” Subsequent collaborations—for example, a 2020 team-up with fellow Houston upstart Megan Thee Stallion on the bouncy hip-hop track “Diamonds”—hint that the sonic sky’s the limit for Normani. - Apple Music

the other 2 that charted are boring

but Fortnight is just fantastic after a couple spins, a proper grower

 

and still amazed how well Post Malone fits in here

do we know how much Taylor's album has sold?

270k

I need The Black Dog to go viral on tiktok or something

 

Obsessed to the point of just having googled where the real Black Dog pub is in London :D

 

I actually go to that pub often! It's in Vauxhall, about 10 minutes from where I live

 

Apparently the owners are having to turn people away because it's so busy with Taylor fans visiting at the moment :lol:

That's a pretty uninspiring chart it has to be said. Lots of boring pop, very little to no decent dance music, no decent rock music. All around just dominated by dirge.

Fortnight is honestly so boring to me… so bland. Can she stop singing on the one note for a whole song please.
