Brilliantly bonkers to have a new Linkin Park song #4, whose 2024 bingo card was that on? Great song, been in my head all week

Ugh so many weeks of Chappell being so close yet so far 😭

I like the Sabrina songs still but am way over her hogging the top 2/3 now.

Biography

 

While it can be a big challenge for a young performer to transition from teen-TV stardom to success in the music world, Sabrina Carpenter’s made it look easy. It helps that Carpenter—born in 1999 in Pennsylvania—has pursued both sides of her career in tandem, releasing her first music before she became a regular presence on the Disney Channel thanks to her roles in Girl Meets World and Adventures in Babysitting. (She also made her Broadway debut in 2020 in the musical Mean Girls—how’s that for multitasking?) On her first two albums—2015’s Eyes Wide Open and 2016’s EVOLution—Carpenter set herself apart from her teenage peers with her deft delivery and her eagerness to embrace a wide array of dance-music styles. Elements of trap and house help energise two hits that topped Billboard’s dance-music chart in 2019: “Sue Me”, a cheeky kiss-off partially inspired by a lawsuit by two of her former managers, and “Almost Love”, a thrilling club track Carpenter co-wrote with the Stargate production team. A two-part album that dropped in 2018 and 2019, Singular: Act I and Singular: Act II provided more proof of Carpenter’s fast-developing abilities as a singer and songwriter who’s moved past any of the teen-star stereotypes to become a full-fledged club diva.

Sabrina Carpenter

 

'Espresso' is still my favourite of Sabrina's hits this year by quite some distance

Espresso overtaking Please Please Please is criminal but at least it ain’t her highest charting song this week

Sabrina has been #1 for 15 of the last 19 weeks

Incredible for Linkin Park to get a #4, a new highest peaker after all this time. Immediately gone in as one of their greats too, probably my favourite UK top 5 hit in a long while.

I wonder if Taste will become my birthday number one next week.

Espresso overtaking Please Please Please is criminal but at least it ain’t her highest charting song this week

I don't think so. Espresso is older but it's funnier than Please Please Please. :P

Sabrina has been #1 for 15 of the last 19 weeks

She was almost 'unknown" until last year. I wonder if she sold her soul in 2024. lol Just kidding of course. :P

Biography

 

Nobody makes feeling bad sound as good as The Weeknd. Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face”, “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” Though he didn’t release a new album in 2021, he was a constant part of the cultural conversation, releasing a slew of singles, performing at the Super Bowl and on Saturday Night Live (think: “Ladies and gentlemen, The Weeknd”) and winning the Apple Music Award for Artist of the Year. - Apple Music
