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.

June 14, 20242 yr '360' is probably my least favourite of the singles from 'BRAT' but it's still quite a banger, glad to see it finally top 40 after two frustrating weeks at #41. The music video is fun too even if some of its impact is lost on me due to not recognising nearly anyone from it x Surprisingly actually like 'The Door', wasn't expecting such an upbeat sound from the pineapple. Really like 'Pink Skies' too, surprised it's done so well as it doesn't really sound like a single but here for further success for Zach. Hope both of those can get back to climbing (am interested to see how big a chart splash Zach can make with the release of his next album).
June 14, 20242 yr Aw gutted Raye didn't make Top 20, but I guess it's hardly the most commercial song so this is still a decent result.

His latest single, the viral smash hit "Beautiful Things," quickly soared into the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 after topping charts across the globe. In 2023, MTV named Boone their Global PUSH Artist for October, while his PULSE EP generated tens of millions of streams. After headlining a sold-out tour across North America and Europe, he ended the year with the release of his moving single “To Love Someone.” The PULSE EP was preceded by his 2022 piano ballad “Before You” and the Walk Me Home… EP, which included his breakout single “GHOST TOWN” — Boone's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and a Top 25 hit at both Top 40 and Hot AC radio. It also became his first RIAA-certified Gold record, followed by “In The Stars,” which is now certified Platinum. First discovered by Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds, Boone was quickly signed to Reynolds’ Night Street Records in partnership with Warner Records in 2021. He is reaching new heights in 2024, with over 2 billion career streams to date, an upcoming world tour, and a hotly anticipated debut album on the way. - Spotify Top 100 Chart History 2021 46 Ghost Town -1- 2022 21 In The Stars -2- 2024 01 Beautiful Things -1- 2024 16 Slow It Down -2- 2024 55 Cry -AT- 1 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 2 x Top 20 | 3 x Top 40 | 5 x Top 100 Social Media Benson Boone

June 14, 20242 yr Author 20 | 13 | 6th week Kendrick Lamar Not Like Us Non-album single Released: 4th May 2024 Label: Kendrick Lamar Chart Statistics NE (16/05/2024) | 10-6-11-12-13-20 Sales: 100k+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 17 Sales 06 Audio Streaming 06 Video Streaming Video T6eK-2OQtew 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 Top 100 Chart History 2012 57 Swimming Pools (Drank) -1- MILLIONAIRE 2012 50 F**kin' Problems (A$AP Rocky feat.
