Sabrina’s stolen #1 from her auto play of the week, robbed Taylor of a second week!

Every auto play comment can silence now.

 

G'won Sabrina :cheer:

The end of Taylor’s imperial phase starts here!

Fab for Sabrina *.*

Get in there Sabrina! :D

Fortnight spending a fortnight in the top 2 <3 (kinda wish it was a fortnight at #1, especially when it was only 500 copies if that away from achieving that!) Loving that Tay still has 3 songs top 10 :wub:

 

Sabrina finally getting a #1!!! I have been waiting for this moment since 2016 and I can’t get enough of espresso *.*

This Taylor song is such a borefest. Meh.

 

Delighted for Sabrina :wub:

Omg yes Sabrina! The upper echelons of pop girldom are recruiting :cool:

Haha at least Seven Days by Craig David spent a week at the top. Maybe Fortnight will come back for another week.

Sabrina’s stolen #1 from her auto play of the week, robbed Taylor of a second week!

Biography

 

In an interview with Apple Music, Kendrick Lamar reflected on his 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly—in particular, the song “Alright.” It wasn’t that it sold well (it did). It wasn’t that it won awards (it did). It wasn’t even that it broke new ground for where hip-hop might go. For Lamar, the success was that people sang it in the streets. “A lot of people don’t have voices out there,” he said. “So to see them actually express themselves through song, through lyrics that I wrote?” For a kid from Compton whose life was transformed by hip-hop, the fame was nice, but the singing, the spirit, the possibility that his music was opening a cultural inroad for people joining the fight for civil rights—that was real. He might’ve been writing alone. But he was speaking for many. Born in 1987, Lamar grew up under the influence of JAY-Z, Eminem, and 2pac—for the wordplay, for the imagination, for the heart and sense of community. Given its popularity, Lamar’s music can be surprisingly dense, taking shape in winding, album-length narratives (good kid, m.A.A.d city), live-band hybrids of jazz and funk (To Pimp a Butterfly), and quasi-conceptual explorations of self (2017’s Pulitzer Prize-winning DAMN.). Yes, he wants greatness. But he wants it on his own terms. “I’m not doing it to have a good song,” he said. “Or one good rap. Or a good hook, or a good bridge. I want to keep doing it every time, period. And to do it every time you have to challenge yourself, and you have to confirm to yourself—not anybody else—that you’re the best.” - Apple Music

Biography

 

Even before she dropped her debut single in 2014, Meghan Trainor already had it made. By that point, the 20-year-old Nantucket native had achieved the dream of many aspiring singer/songwriters: to infiltrate the inner sanctum of Nashville’s Music Row. But as it turns out, co-writing songs for country stars like Rascal Flatts and Hunter Hayes was the warm-up for what came next. Upon its release in the summer of 2014, Trainor’s first solo single, “All About That Bass,” swiftly became the most inescapable pop earworm of the year, thanks to a rump-shaking, retro-R&B sound that filled the void vacated by the late Amy Winehouse and a then-dormant Adele. But not only did the song transform Trainor into an instant, cross-generational pop star, its celebration of plus-size physiques made her a spokesmodel for body positivity at a time when there were few such role models in the entertainment industry. (And that motivational ethos would make her a natural choice to judge singing-competition shows like The Voice UK.) With the release of the full-length Title in 2015, Trainor became just the 13th woman in pop history to have both her first single and first album go to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, but on the follow-up, Thank You, she proved she was no mere throwback artist, as singles like “Me Too” and “No” updated her old-school aesthetic for modern-day dance floors. And on 2020’s Treat Myself, she further immersed herself in contemporary club sounds, applying her Aretha-sized sass to the synth-pumped thump of “No Excuses” and EDM-washed “Wave.” But even as her muse has drifted from Motown to Minaj (who turns up on the ASMR&B duet “Nice to Meet Ya”), Trainor’s self-help mission remains on course. “Every message that I give when I’m writing songs, it’s all to me,” she told Apple Music, where she also hosts Dirty Pop Radio. “I keep listening to these songs and I keep having to remind myself, ‘baby girl, love yourself.’” Trainor’s ongoing success lies in her ability to find new and creative ways to translate those personal affirmations into communal anthems. - Apple Music

Yay for Sabrina and we finally have a one week #1 in 2024

I wish Jack was talking to Sabrina lol

Sabrina’s stolen #1 from her auto play of the week, robbed Taylor of a second week!

 

Good grief

I've seen so many tweets about Espresso this week, more than any other #1 single this year, glad it's hit the top spot as it's so infectious and fun :wub:

That was 3-41-OUT so probably the closest.

'Surfin' Bird' also had just one week in the Top 40 at #3. 'Take Me Back To London' is I think the only other song to go 3-OUT altogether, but of course it returned a few weeks later.

Edited May 3, 20241 yr by jimwatts

Jack just said this was the first Bank Holiday chart of the year.

 

 

What about Easter !!

Yay for Sabrina and we finally have a one week #1 in 2024

Taylor got so unlucky with timing to be the only one week #1 of the year so far - fortnight’s 2nd week sales have only been beaten by Last Christmas, one week of Stick Season and Espresso of #1s this year!

I guess Last Christmas went 3-OUT in January 2019 and January 2020, and Mariah did the same this year.
