October 25, 20241 yr Author 03 | 02 | 10th week Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars Die With A Smile Non-album single Released: 16th August 2024 Label: Interscope Records Chart Statistics NE (29/08/2024) | 7-7-7-6-5-4-4-3-2-3 Sales: 300,000+ Certification: Silver Status: Standard Chart Ratio 01 Sales 04 Audio Streaming 06 Video Streaming Video kPa7bsKwL-c Biography Lady Gaga Some may dismiss pop as inauthentic. But for Lady Gaga—one of popular culture’s greatest, most extravagant creations—the inauthenticity is the point. No artist has more defiantly embodied that provocation this century than the one born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (in New York in 1986). Never wedded to the same image—her most memorable looks (among many) have included a gown fashioned from raw meat, a red-carpet-appropriate pair of dish gloves, and “the world’s first flying dress”—Gaga personifies pop’s surface obsessions while simultaneously upending them. In a sense, her creative identity had crystallized by age 21; she’d been a child pianist, aspiring actor, and burlesque performer. Each of these facets powered her career’s most distinct parts: the celebrity fascination of her first two albums, 2008’s The Fame and 2009’s The Fame Monster; the subversive layering of 2011’s Born This Way and 2013’s ARTPOP; the sincere reverence of 2014’s Cheek to Cheek, her jazz standards album with Tony Bennett; the rootsier songwriting of 2016’s Joanne; and 2020’s jubilant return to her neon-hued electro roots, Chromatica. If the 2009 smash “Paparazzi” reveled in the flashes, then “Born This Way” celebrated inner light: In translating her diffuse identity into world-conquering art, Gaga has become a beacon to anyone else who’s felt like an outsider. Her loyal following of Little Monsters has affirmed a deep connection to her message of self-love and self-expression, despite pop’s fickleness and her chameleonic exterior. She played out a simpler version of her path to fame in the Oscar-worthy 2018 remake of A Star Is Born. But while her character’s ascent was abetted by her lover, Gaga’s was all her own. - Apple Music Bruno Mars Bruno Mars has a good story about Prince: Mars is hanging out at an awards show, during a commercial break. The crowd is filled with celebrities. Suddenly, Mars feels the room shift, people part, and there he is, Mars told Apple Music in a 2016 interview—Prince, “just floating by, levitating by.” Prince catches Mars’ eye and gives him a thumbs-up, and Mars—stunned—gives Prince a thumbs-up back. “And that’s it,” Mars said. “What more can you ask?” More than a Prince cosign? How about a stack of multiplatinum records? The privilege of being able to entertain people the world over? Mars has those too. But you get the sense that the nod from Prince was affirmation of a higher order. Even when he was living on instant ramen noodles and trying to find his way into the industry, Mars knew he didn’t just want to be a songwriter or a singer or a producer, but—like Prince, or maybe Michael Jackson—a total pop package, the kind of artist who’s as powerful in the studio as they are onstage. Those records, though: “Uptown Funk,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” “That’s What I Like.” Fun, omnivorous, generation-bridging. The kind of stuff that Mom will be pulling you onto the dance floor for. Mars could do old-fashioned showmanship, could credibly play the crooner with a live band to boot. But he also had an ear for hip-hop and R&B, could—like all great pop—collapse the distance between then and now, Black music and white. Most of all, he knew how much retro was retro enough: Music that made you think about the past, not pine for it. Born Peter Hernandez in Honolulu in 1985, Mars took the stage early, famously doing Elvis impersonations with a family revue at a local hotel before he even hit kindergarten. (In one formative moment, young Mars wet his jumpsuit during “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” but finished without flinching.) As a teenager, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a deal with Motown Records. The deal went nowhere, but Mars kept himself afloat by writing and producing with a team called The Smeezingtons, which he helped found. In 2010, he released his debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. By 2012’s Unorthodox Jukebox, the image had gotten a little grittier, the sound a little more diverse, and the retro affectations—goodbye, pompadour—a little less pronounced. Leaning on the slick bounce of ’80s and ’90s funk and R&B, 24K Magic followed in 2016, sweeping its nominations at the Grammys. A confessed perfectionist, Mars pushes on. “All the statues or Time magazine—that s**t is beautiful and made my parents and my family proud and all that,” he told Apple Music. “But there’s this battle within—that you always wanna. You got this fighter’s spirit. I still feel like I’m chasing to prove something to myself, that I got a better song in me.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Lady Gaga 2009 01 Just Dance (feat.

October 25, 20241 yr Other than Gangnam Style and the 3 BTS songs that peaked at number 3, has a Korean act ever been this high on the charts?
October 25, 20241 yr I think its a shame that Liam fans didn't support his album LP1 and his singles but bought and streamed the One Direction ones.
October 25, 20241 yr I was really hoping for Top 5 for Night Changes, but still, a new peak of #6 is great. A gorgeous song of theirs and tribute to Liam. :cry: A great start for APT.! Double Bruno in the Top 5 *.*
October 25, 20241 yr Other than Gangnam Style and the 3 BTS songs that peaked at number 3, has a Korean act ever been this high on the charts? Jimin with who, but I guess he falls under BTS category
October 25, 20241 yr Apt. and Die With A Smile are both fantastic tracks for me - wasn't even sure Bruno would have another huge hit again so to see him with two simultaneously is a pleasant surprise.
October 25, 20241 yr Other than Gangnam Style and the 3 BTS songs that peaked at number 3, has a Korean act ever been this high on the charts? Jimin with who, but I guess he falls under BTS category Also Jung Kook - Seven (#3)
October 25, 20241 yr Will she taste sabrina too or will she get a taste of gigi Perez and tell her what's her flavor?
October 25, 20241 yr Author I think its a shame that Liam fans didn't support his album LP1 and his singles but bought and streamed the One Direction ones. It's fair to say One Direction is what he's best known for (and I'd argue Zayn, Niall and Louis are still first and foremost known as 1D members, perhaps only Harry going beyond that). Going for the band material over the solo material isn't any less supportive IMO, because it's still part of Liam's impact on the industry, and anyone around the group will say how vital a role he played in One Direction.

October 25, 20241 yr Author 01 | 01 | 9th week Sabrina Carpenter Taste 3rd single from Short n' Sweet Released: 23rd August 2024 Label: Island Records Chart Statistics NE (05/09/2024) | 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Sales: 400,000+ Certification: Gold Status: Standard Chart Ratio 07 Sales 01 Audio Streaming 01 Video Streaming Video KEG7b851Ric 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.

October 25, 20241 yr Find it crazy that For You was around #67 and witho a reset still missed top 40? Considering What make until was low 40s and made it into the top 30 I assumed For You would have just made it. Must have been very close.
