November 1, 20241 yr I agree with the sentiment that Gracie's songwriting and inflections sound like Taylor, Lorde and Olivia in a blender. I should love that in theory but her music is yet to excite me. I do like this more than the song at #5 though :kink:
November 1, 20241 yr Author 03 | 19 | 2nd week Gracie Abrams That's So True 4th single from The Secret of Us Released: 18th October 2024 Label: Gracie Abrams Chart Statistics NE (31/10/2024) | 19-3 Sales: 10,000+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 00 Sales 35 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video BDHM8cyJQa8 Biography Los Angeles singer/songwriter Gracie Abrams has a talent for cutting to the quick. A song about a breakup’s messy aftermath, “21” opens bluntly with the line: “I missed your 21st birthday.” Another song about finding it hard to move on revolves around the simple admission, “I miss you, I’m sorry.” Abrams’ swift incisions are particularly notable given that her father is director J.J. Abrams, whose television series Lost boasted such ingeniously convoluted plotlines. Born in 1999, the Los Angeles native grew up listening to Joni Mitchell and Elliott Smith, but it wasn’t until she discovered Phoebe Bridgers, at age 13, that she began writing her own songs. She wrote “minor”—about a crush who lived too far away for her to visit before curfew—at age 17. “It was the first time that I’d written a song where I felt like I wasn’t trying to emulate someone else’s sound,” she tells Apple Music. Even Abrams’ early singles display a wisdom beyond her years. Released when she was 20, “21” revolves around the devastating line, “You’ll be the love of my life when I was young”—an elegant example of her knack for turning an idea as simple as “young love” into a complex meditation on life’s changes. “Looking back is unattractive to me,” she acknowledges, yet while preparing her first long-form statement—2020’s minor—she realized she needed to reflect to move forward. “Thinking about what that meant and how the songs needed to exist together,” she says, the experience of writing “minor” as a teen never went away. “It was always in the back of my head. I didn’t want to run away from it.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2023 72 Everywhere, Everything (Noah Kahan & Gracie Abrams) 2024 81 I miss you, I'm sorry -1- 2024 67 Risk -1- 2024 35 Close To You -2- 2024 37 us.

November 1, 20241 yr Author 02 | 04 | 2nd week ROSÉ and Bruno Mars APT. 1st single from rosie Released: 17th October 2024 Label: ROSÉ The K-pop dynamo finds a formidable match for a powerhouse display. - Apple Music Chart Statistics NE (31/10/2024) | 4-2 Sales: 30,000+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 03 Sales 08 Audio Streaming 01 Video Streaming Video ekr2nIex040 Biography There’s a verse in her 2021 debut solo single “On the Ground” that BLACKPINK member ROSÉ singles out as being especially meaningful: “I worked my whole life/Just to get right, just to be like/‘Look at me, I'm never comin' down.’” “That verse just hits me,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “It’s just the fact that, literally, I have been working my whole life.” Born Roseanne Chaeyoung Park to Korean parents in Aotearoa New Zealand in 1997, ROSÉ grew up mostly in Melbourne, Australia, where she sang in the church choir and learned how to play piano and guitar, dreaming of becoming a professional musician. In 2012, she passed an audition to become a K-pop trainee under YG Entertainment, and she moved to Seoul as a teenager. After four years of a famously rigorous K-pop training process that includes singing, dancing, and language lessons, ROSÉ debuted with BLACKPINK—alongside JISOO, JENNIE, and LISA—in 2016. The hard work paid off, with BLACKPINK shooting to global stardom. Their debut song “BOOMBAYAH” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, and was followed by other hits like "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "Kill This Love.” In 2023, they became the first Korean act to headline Coachella. In 2021, ROSÉ released her debut single R, which included the breakup track “Gone” alongside “On the Ground.” The latter became the highest-charting song by a Korean female soloist on the Billboard Hot 100, and became the first song by a Korean soloist to top the Billboard Global 200. The song is a reminder of the importance of staying grounded in reality and being grateful for what you find there, even—and perhaps especially—when you’re one of the biggest K-pop artists in the world. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History ROSÉ 2021 43 On The Ground -1- 2024 02 APT.

November 1, 20241 yr Sailor Song is fine whatever it's just not for me. Feels so weird as a #1 though!
November 1, 20241 yr Horrid #1, when I first heard it in the top 40 I was hoping it wouldn't progress much further. Nevermind.
November 1, 20241 yr 'APT.' is a proper tune. Hope it can get to #1! Also would be nice for Bruno to get another of those rather than another #2 peaker!
November 1, 20241 yr 'APT.' is absolutely one of my favourite chart hits of 2024, it's unabashedly feelgood
