The night changed her life—not just because the music was great, but because, as she put it more than 20 years later while accepting Bowie’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, “it was great theater. Here was this beautiful, androgynous man, just being so…perverse.” More than a musician, Madonna—like Bowie then and Kanye West now—is a supreme cultural curator. She's an artist capable of combining styles and images in ways that are both novel and groundbreaking, who changes with such frequency and confidence that change has become her defining characteristic. Born in Bay City, Michigan, in 1958, she spent her childhood studying ballet, later moving to New York to try and make it as a dancer. (She was fired from a brief stint at a Times Square Dunkin’ Donuts after spraying a customer—either accidentally or on purpose, she never confirmed—with donut jelly.) After playing in a couple of New Wave bands, she went solo, exploring a simple, almost punky, almost amateurish take on dance music (“Borderline,” “Lucky Star”) that brought the grandeur of disco down to human scale. She remained more or less invincible throughout the '80s, releasing a string of albums (Like a Virgin, True Blue, and Like a Prayer) that continue to define the era. Like Prince, her music was immediate but her character was incredibly complex: She could be brassy (“Material Girl”) and sweet (“Open Your Heart”), earnest (“Papa Don’t Preach”) and playful (“Like a Virgin”), sacred and profane—a variety that widened the emotional spectrum for pretty much every female pop artist in her wake. In the ’90s, she shifted her focus more explicitly to the intersection of sex and power (Erotica, Bedtime Stories, the photo book Sex), with a sound that flirted with house, new jack swing, and late-night R&B. (Between “Vogue” and the tour documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare, it was also a moment when she leaned into her support of the LGBTQ community—a relationship that has defined her career.) Just as quickly as she’d embraced her inner sinner, she pivoted, first with a role as former Argentinian first lady Eva Perón in the 1996 film and soundtrack Evita, then with the 1998 album Ray of Light—projects that rechristened her as a mature, soul-searching artist in a chaotic world. She kept pace through the 2000s and 2010s, exploring disco, electro, and minimalistic takes on ’80s dance music, continuing to track the sound of the times while always, somehow, remaining herself. When she was a young woman pursuing a dance career in New York, she’d been given a nickname by the famed choreographer Martha Graham: Madame X, a shape-shifting woman whose identity was, as the name suggests, a variable. About 40 years later, she embraced the moniker for 2019’s Madame X, an album influenced by the yearning fado music of her adopted home of Lisbon, Portugal. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1984 02 Holiday -1- MILLIONAIRE 1984 14 Lucky Star -2- 1984 02 Borderline -3- 1984 03 Like A Virgin -1- MILLIONAIRE 1985 03 Material Girl -2- 1985 02 Crazy For You -OST- 1985 01 Into The Groove -3- MILLIONAIRE 1985 05 Angel -4- 1985 04 Gambler -OST- 1985 05 Dress You Up -5- 1986 02 Live To Tell -1- 1986 01 Papa Don't Preach -2- 1986 01 True Blue -3- 1986 04 Open Your Heart -4- 1987 01 La Isla Bonita -5- 1987 01 Who's That Girl -OST/1- 1987 04 Causing A Commotion -OST/2- 1987 09 The Look Of Love -OST/3- 1989 01 Like A Prayer -1- MILLIONAIRE 1989 99 Into The Groove / Who's That Girl? 1989 05 Express Yourself -2- 1989 03 Cherish -3- 1989 05 Dear Jessie -4- 1990 01 Vogue -1- 1990 02 Hanky Panky -2- 1990 02 Justify My Love -1- 1991 03 Rescue Me -2- 1992 03 This Used To Be My Playground -OST- 1992 03 Erotica -1- 1992 06 Deeper And Deeper -2- 1993 10 Bad Girl -3- 1993 06 Fever -4- 1993 07 Rain -5- 1994 07 I'll Remember -OST- 1994 05 Secret -1- 1994 16 Take A Bow -2- 1995 04 Bedtime Story -3- 1995 08 Human Nature -4- 1995 05 You'll See -1- 1996 16 Oh Father -2- 1996 11 One More Chance -3- 1996 10 You Must Love Me -OST/1- 1996 03 Don't Cry For Me Argentina -OST/2- 1997 07 Another Suitcase In Another Hall -OST/3- 1998 01 Frozen -1- 1998 02 Ray Of Light -2- 1998 10 Drowned World (Substitute For Love) -3- 1998 06 The Power Of Goodbye -4- 1999 07 Nothing Really Matters -5- 1999 02 Beautiful Stranger -OST- 2000 01 American Pie -OST- 2000 01 Music -1- 2000 04 Don't Tell Me -2- 2001 07 What It Feels Like For A Girl -3- 2002 03 Die Another Day -OST- 2003 02 American Life -1- 2003 02 Hollywood -2- 2003 02 Me Against The Music (Britney Spears feat.

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 Top 100 Chart History 2014 02 Take Me To Church -1- MILLIONAIRE 2015 19 Someone New -3- 2015 69 From Eden -2/4- 2018 87 Nina Cried Power (feat.

August 23, 20241 yr best from the album but still find it weird to see Post Malone doing this bubblegum pop kinda music, don't really find it very country either Eh, it fits in well with the current country-pop landscape - there's a lot more "traditional" country on the album.
August 23, 20241 yr It really does seem the more weeks on the chart the greater the chance of being played when it should be (broadly) the reverse
August 23, 20241 yr Author They should move the chart back to Sundays or at least a day in the week where it would be able to be played in full The chart's not fast enough to warrant being played in full, the only real issue with the show as it is right now is that the focus doesn't seem to be on playing the songs making gains or newly arriving, more suiting the taste of the people running the show / Radio 1's general playlist than documenting the chart's movements.
August 23, 20241 yr Is it really too hard to make an effort to present a quality radio show? I guess it is.

After leaving Brigham Young University to pursue his music career, the singer-songwriter tried out for American Idol, but he left the competition after making it past the talent show’s auditions. Trading the small screen of TV for the hand-sized screens of social media, he began posting videos online, and Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds took notice, signing Boone to his label Night Street Records. Boone’s early singles were emotion-packed piano ballads—the sweeping debut single “GHOST TOWN,” the swirling 2022 cut “In The Stars”—but plugging in proved to be a winning strategy. His modern power ballad “Beautiful Things,” released in early 2024, was an online sensation before it became a global megahit, reaching the U.S. Top 10 and readying the world for Boone’s debut full-length, Fireworks & Rollerblades, which came out that spring. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2021 46 Ghost Town -1- 2022 21 In The Stars -2- 2024 01 Beautiful Things -1- MILLIONAIRE 2024 14 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
August 23, 20241 yr The chart's not fast enough to warrant being played in full, the only real issue with the show as it is right now is that the focus doesn't seem to be on playing the songs making gains or newly arriving, more suiting the taste of the people running the show / Radio 1's general playlist than documenting the chart's movements. That’s exactly why I don’t like the chart being on Fridays as they focus more on the songs that have been around for ages and turn a blind eye to the songs which are new or making significant climbs. The chart had more listeners pre-July 2015 when it was broadcast on Sundays Edited August 23, 20241 yr by Hadji
August 23, 20241 yr this has to be the worst chart show in the history of chart shows it's like Now 118 or something, well the Now that was released 3 or 6 months ago
