And in some ways, they made sense: Like Sinatra, Bublé was an old-fashioned entertainer, the kind of singer who weighed his success in part by how well he connected with the crowd. But where Sinatra exuded swagger and masculinity, Bublé was soft and humble, a fisherman’s son from British Columbia who could swing if he wanted but tended more toward ballads and delicate adult-contemporary pop. Did the ladies love him? Of course! He’s Michael Bublé. He might be carrying a torch, but he’s lighting his own way. Born in 1975 in Burnaby, just east of Vancouver, Bublé fell in love with jazz and standards after being turned on by his grandfather, an Italian-born plumber who later offered his services to clubs to fix their pipes in exchange for putting a teenage Bublé onstage. As his star grew, his range broadened, balancing straight takes on classics like “Stardust” and “All of Me” with polished contemporary pop (“Home,” “Haven’t Met You Yet,” and “Nobody But Me”), creating a sound that was immediate, romantic, elevated but accessible. And like his heroes (not just Sinatra, but Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, and a generation of American entertainers), Bublé got his Christmas album (2011’s Christmas) and a string of TV specials (buble!). In 2013, he gave an impromptu a cappella performance in the New York City subway. That, he said, is when you know you’ve made it. A stretch, but if his voice doesn’t get you, his charm will. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2005 31 Home -1- 2005 45 Home / Song For You -2- 2007 38 Everything -1- 2007 19 Lost -2- 2009 05 Haven't Met You Yet -1- 2009 34 Cry Me A River -2- 2009 69 Feeling Good -AT- 2009 72 Hold On -3- 2010 11 Hollywood -4- 2011 74 It Had Better Be Tonight -AT- 2011 06 It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas -1*- MILLIONAIRE 2011 99 Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas -AT- 2011 47 Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) -AT- 2011 77 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town -AT- 2013 10 It's A Beautiful Day -1- 2013 72 Close Your Eyes -2- 2014 39 Baby It's Cold Outside (Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé) 2015 21 Holly Jolly Christmas -AT- MILLIONAIRE 2016 77 Nobody But Me -1- 2020 55 Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas (Dolly Parton & Michael Bublé) 2021 61 The Christmas Sweater -2*- 2021 44 Let It Snow! -AT- 2024 80 Spicy Margarita (Jason Derulo & Michael Bublé) 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 3 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 10 x Top 40 | 23 x Top 100 Social Media Michael Bublé

However, because of a rift with Jeff Lynne, Wood left ELO after the debut No Answer and created Wizzard, a bizarre octet who debuted at a 1972 Wembley Rock 'n' Roll Festival and then captured the airwaves with "Ball Park Incident." Wizzard landed two chart-toppers overseas, "See My Baby Jive" and "Angel Fingers." Chaotic but always melodic, Wood built a unique wall of sound around these and other dandies like "Rock and Roll Winter" and perennial winner "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day." Wizzard even jabbed the ascending ELO with "Bend Over Beethoven." In the center of this insanity, Wood sported multi-colored beard and mane, added a star to his forehead, and covered his face (perhaps inspiring fan Paul Stanley) with warpaint, sprinkles, or innumerable other oddities. Wizzard seemed to only maintain success with singles however, and the Introducing Eddie and the Falcons LP, a tribute to early rock icons like Del Shannon, Gene Vincent, and Cliff Richard, proved to be Wizzard's final work. Manager Don Arden enjoyed stadium success in the U.S., but Wizzard folded when management decided not to increase financing. Wood kept bassist Rick Price and saxophonist Mike Burney for the Wizzo Band, whose jazz-funk wafted beyond commercial confines for a lone effort, Super Active Wizzo. Wizzo expired in 1978, Wood continuing his concurrent solo career and basically dropping out of sight, reappearing periodically to perform with disciples Cheap Trick. Wizzard bassist Rick Price died on May 17, 2022 at the age of 77. - Spotify Top 100 Chart History 1972 06 Ball Park Incident -NAS- 1973 01 See My Baby Jive -NAS- 1973 01 Angel Fingers -NAS- 1973 04 I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1974 06 Rock And Roll Winter -NAS- 1974 34 This Is The Story Of My Love (Baby) -1- 1974 08 Are You Ready To Rock -NAS- 2 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 6 x Top 10 | 6 x Top 20 | 7 x Top 40 | 7 x Top 100 Social Media Wizzard
December 26, 20241 yr Author 21 | 02 | 10th 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) | 19-3-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-21 Sales: 300,000+ Certification: Silver Status: Standard Chart Ratio 12 Sales 01 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 31 Close To You -2- 2024 37 us.

Born Dino Paul Crocetti in Steubenville, OH, in 1917, Martin grew up far from the booze- and broads-filled good life of his later years: He was the son of a barber, and he spoke only Italian until age five. He dropped out of school at age 16 and tried his hand variously as a boxer (known as “Kid Crochet”), a steel-mill worker, a gas-station attendant, and a speakeasy croupier. But Martin was allergic to working life, and he found his ticket with nightclub singing, inspired by his hero Bing Crosby. He was blessed with a mellow, buttery tenor, and he got his first big break in Atlantic City, performing opposite the comedian Jerry Lewis. The gig—originally meant to be temporary—unveiled Martin and Lewis’s vaudevillian improvisational genius. Whereas Martin was all charm and sophistication, Lewis was the anarchic delinquent, and audiences loved it: They made 16 movies in 11 years before an acrimonious split. Meanwhile, Martin was recording jazzy, insouciant hits that played on his Italian heritage, such as 1953’s “That’s Amore” and 1958’s “Volare.” After his split with Lewis, Dino found himself a new niche as part of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., costarring in a series of comedies that cemented his image. He showed serious acting chops in films like 1959’s Rio Bravo, had his own television show from 1965 onward, and continued to seduce listeners with sly songs like “Ain’t That a Kick In the Head” and “You’re Nobody ’Til Somebody Loves You.” He died in 1995. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1953 05 Kiss -NAS- 1954 02 That's Amore -1- 1954 06 Sway -NAS- 1954 15 How Do You Speak To An Angel -1- 1955 05 The Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane -1- 1955 14 Mambo Italiano -2- 1955 03 Let Me Go Lover -3- 1955 06 Under The Bridges Of Paris -NAS- 1956 01 Memories Are Made Of This -NAS- 1956 20 Young And Foolish -NAS- 1956 21 Innamorata -1- 1957 21 The Man Who Plays The Mandolino -NAS- 1958 02 Return To Me -1- 1958 02 Volare -2- 1964 11 Everybody Loves Somebody -1- 1964 42 The Door Is Still Open To My Heart -1- 1969 02 Gentle On My Mind -1- 2007 13 Let It Snow!

Rea started out performing with a local group called Magdalene, taking David Coverdale's place; the band won a national talent contest in 1975 as the Beautiful Losers, but still failed to get a record contract. Rea left the band and recorded the album Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? (an allusion to a discarded stage name), which went gold on the strength of the U.S. Top 20 hit "Fool (If You Think It's Over)." Rea was not heard from again in the U.S. for some time, concentrating his efforts on his main fan base in Europe. A compilation of tracks from Rea's '80s albums, New Light Through Old Windows, was released in 1988 and sold well in the U.K. and Europe and charted in the U.S. Rea followed it up with the critically acclaimed The Road to Hell, which many regarded as his best album. The Road to Hell and its follow-up, Auberge, went to the top of the U.K. album charts, but did not prove as successful in the U.S., where he has failed to chart with his subsequent releases. He released his most ambitious project in 2005, an 11-album, 130-track box set of all new material inspired by the blues and his own paintings called Blue Guitars.

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.

Born blind as a result of congenital glaucoma, Feliciano was five when his family moved from Puerto Rico to New York City. He began learning the concertina at age 6 before taking up the guitar when he was nine or 10. Feliciano quit high school at 17 and began performing in coffeehouses and cafes to help support his family. A rave review in the New York Times ran around the same time Feliciano signed a record deal with RCA. His career took off first in Argentina, where had a string of hits in the mid-’60s, including “Usted” and “Extraños en la Noche” in 1966 and “El Carcel de Sing Sing” in 1967. Feliciano’s breakthrough in the US came in 1968 on Feliciano!, an album of acoustic covers including songs by The Beatles, The Mamas and the Papas, and The Doors. Feliciano! reached No. 2, went gold, and received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Feliciano’s version of “Light My Fire” peaked at No. 3 and won a Grammy for Best Male Contemporary Pop Performance. Feliciano also won the Grammy for Best New Artist. Only a handful of Feliciano’s subsequent LPs made the US charts, but he was an international star, and he has continued releasing albums at a steady clip, in English and Spanish. Though 1970’s “Feliz Navidad” is one of the 25 most-played holiday songs, the tune didn’t crack the charts until nearly 30 years after Feliciano first released it, reaching Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart in 1998. The song broke into the Hot 100 pop chart in 2017 and reached No. 6 in 2020. Feliciano’s song “Me Enamore,” the title track from his 1983 album, won a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance.

In just two years, he had graduated from the Little Richard worship of 1963’s “I Saw Her Standing There” to the exquisite orchestral balladry of “Yesterday”—a shift that intensified the contrast between McCartney and his increasingly acerbic songwriting partner, John Lennon. But as The Beatles’ entered their late-’60s experimental phase—during which Lennon’s avant-garde impulses came to the fore—McCartney’s traditionalism constituted its own form of radicalism. Within the band’s psychedelic milieu, his embrace of pre-rock forms, like classical (“Eleanor Rigby”) and English music-hall serenades (“When I’m Sixty-Four”), felt no less surreal than The Beatles' use of tape-loop freak-outs and sitar drones. (And this is to say nothing of Paul's sublime bass playing, which elevated the four-string from rhythmic undercurrent to melodic focal point.) His post-Beatles albums have proven equally uncanny and influential: 1971’s art-folk opus Ram provided the lo-fi schematic for future generations of DIY home-recording artists, while the arena-rattling roar of “Jet”, from McCartney's subsequent band Wings’ 1973 LP Band on the Run, shows why he’s become a muse to hard rockers such as Dave Grohl. And by continually collaborating with the hitmakers of the day—from Michael Jackson in the 1980s to Rihanna and Kanye West in the 2010s—he has remained a voracious pop omnivore, as connected to music's past as its future. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1971 02 Another Day -NAS- 1971 39 Back Seat Of My Car (Paul McCartney & Linda McCartney) -1- 1973 09 My Love (Paul McCartney & Wings) -1- 1973 09 Live And Let Die (Paul McCartney & Wings) -OST- 1973 12 Helen Wheels (Paul McCartney & Wings) -1- 1974 07 Jet (Paul McCartney & Wings) -2- 1974 03 Band On The Run (Paul McCartney & Wings) -3- 1974 16 Junior's Farm (Paul McCartney & Wings) -NAS- 1975 41 Letting Go (Paul McCartney & Wings) -1- 1979 60 Getting Closer / Baby's Request (Paul McCartney & Wings) -1- 1979 06 Wonderful Christmastime -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1980 02 Coming Up -1- 1980 09 Waterfalls -2- 1982 01 Ebony And Ivory (Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder) -1- 1982 15 Take It Away -2- 1982 53 Tug Of War -3- 1982 08 The Girl Is Mine (Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney) 1983 02 Say Say Say (Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson) -1- 1983 01 Pipes Of Peace -2- 1984 02 No More Lonely Nights -1- 1984 03 We All Stand Together (Paul McCartney & The Frog Chorus) -NAS- 1985 13 Spies Like Us -NAS- 1986 25 Press -1- 1986 76 Pretty Little Head -2- 1986 34 Only Love Remains -3- 1987 10 Once Upon A Long Ago -1- 1989 01 Ferry 'Cross The Mersey (The Christians, Holly Johnson, Paul McCartney, Gerry Marsden & Stock Aitken Waterman) 1989 18 My Brave Face -1- 1989 18 This One -2- 1989 42 Figure Of Eight -3- 1990 32 Put It There -4- 1990 29 Birthday -1- 1990 35 All My Trials -2- 1993 18 Hope Of Deliverance -1- 1993 41 C'Mon People -2- 1997 19 Young Boy -1- 1997 23 The World Tonight -2- 1997 25 Beautiful Night -3- 1999 42 No Other Baby -1- 1999 87 Voice (Heather Mills feat.

Formed in the late ’50s, the vocal group became the stuff of teenage rock ’n’ roll dreams when “Be My Baby” went to No. 2 on the U.S. pop singles chart in 1963. The hits kept coming. With their uptown glamour, the family act from New York City had the look that suddenly every girl wanted and, with Phil Spector behind the trio as producer, a sound like no one else. The Ronettes’ influence continues to reverberate through popular music. It’s there in The Jesus and Mary Chain’s mix of noisy rumble and sweetest melody. You can see it in Amy Winehouse’s beehive, eyeliner, and attitude. Ronnie Spector, the fearless lead singer with a voice like a chapel bell, was the blueprint—it was that voice, and her ability to evoke the euphoria of young love, that made The Ronettes the legends they are. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1963 04 Be My Baby -1- 1964 11 Baby, I Love You -2- 1964 43 (The Best Part Of) Breakin' Up -3- 1964 35 Do I Love You? -4- 2013 15 Sleigh Ride -AT- MILLIONAIRE 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 3 x Top 20 | 4 x Top 40 | 5 x Top 100 Social Media The Ronettes

And in some ways, they made sense: Like Sinatra, Bublé was an old-fashioned entertainer, the kind of singer who weighed his success in part by how well he connected with the crowd. But where Sinatra exuded swagger and masculinity, Bublé was soft and humble, a fisherman’s son from British Columbia who could swing if he wanted but tended more toward ballads and delicate adult-contemporary pop. Did the ladies love him? Of course! He’s Michael Bublé. He might be carrying a torch, but he’s lighting his own way. Born in 1975 in Burnaby, just east of Vancouver, Bublé fell in love with jazz and standards after being turned on by his grandfather, an Italian-born plumber who later offered his services to clubs to fix their pipes in exchange for putting a teenage Bublé onstage. As his star grew, his range broadened, balancing straight takes on classics like “Stardust” and “All of Me” with polished contemporary pop (“Home,” “Haven’t Met You Yet,” and “Nobody But Me”), creating a sound that was immediate, romantic, elevated but accessible. And like his heroes (not just Sinatra, but Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, and a generation of American entertainers), Bublé got his Christmas album (2011’s Christmas) and a string of TV specials (buble!). In 2013, he gave an impromptu a cappella performance in the New York City subway. That, he said, is when you know you’ve made it. A stretch, but if his voice doesn’t get you, his charm will. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2005 31 Home -1- 2005 45 Home / Song For You -2- 2007 38 Everything -1- 2007 19 Lost -2- 2009 05 Haven't Met You Yet -1- 2009 34 Cry Me A River -2- 2009 69 Feeling Good -AT- 2009 72 Hold On -3- 2010 11 Hollywood -4- 2011 74 It Had Better Be Tonight -AT- 2011 06 It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas -1*- MILLIONAIRE 2011 99 Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas -AT- 2011 47 Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) -AT- 2011 77 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town -AT- 2013 10 It's A Beautiful Day -1- 2013 72 Close Your Eyes -2- 2014 39 Baby It's Cold Outside (Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé) 2015 21 Holly Jolly Christmas -AT- MILLIONAIRE 2016 77 Nobody But Me -1- 2020 55 Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas (Dolly Parton & Michael Bublé) 2021 61 The Christmas Sweater -2*- 2021 44 Let It Snow! -AT- 2024 80 Spicy Margarita (Jason Derulo & Michael Bublé) 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 3 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 10 x Top 40 | 23 x Top 100 Social Media Michael Bublé

Featuring collaborations with the Philharmonia Orchestra, the sophisticated Bewitched followed in 2023 and brought the singer wider international acclaim, including a Top 30 placement on the Billboard 200 and the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Adjusted for inflation, you’re talking about something more like $25,000. But John had a show to put on, and wouldn’t that be something to talk about? The excess was always apparent: the rhinestones, the costumery, the old Hollywood glamour retrofitted for a new, gender-bending world. But beneath the feathers, John’s music—written with the lyricist Bernie Taupin—was direct and unpretentious, the kind of rock ’n’ roll storytelling that met you where you were. Even if you didn’t know exactly what it meant—who is the dancer, and why are they so tiny?—the feeling was immediate, universal. By 1973’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, John said they were writing a couple of songs at breakfast and recording them before lunch. This was pop music, John argued: You weren’t supposed to think about it too much, and god help you if you did. And yet here we are, singing the songs five decades later. Born Reginald Dwight in Pinner, England, in 1947, John took to the piano young, studying on a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music while obsessively listening to Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard. They were so physical, John marvelled—they didn’t just play the piano, they beat it. He started playing in pubs at 15 and, around 20, met Taupin through a want ad in a music magazine. There were good years and bad ones, highs and lows—that handful of Valium before jumping into the swimming pool in 1975, for example, or the disco album, which John himself described as jumping on a dying bandwagon—but he has always endured, emerging from the debauchery of the ’70s and redefinitions of the ’80s bruised but never beaten, a gay icon, AIDS activist, philanthropist, Knight Bachelor, and father of two. In 2018, nearly 50 years after his debut album, he embarked on a three-year farewell tour, and published his first autobiography, Me, in 2019. The host of Apple Music 1’s Rocket Hour, Elton has been the recipient of countless awards (Grammys, Oscars, BRITs, Tonys, Ivors), has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and, in 2020, was awarded the Companion of Honour. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1971 04 Your Song -1- MILLIONAIRE 1972 02 Rocket Man -1- MILLIONAIRE 1972 31 Honky Cat -2- 1972 05 Crocodile Rock -1- 1973 04 Daniel -2- 1973 07 Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting -1*- 1973 06 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road -2*- 1973 08 Step Into Christmas -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1974 11 Candle In The Wind -3*- 1974 16 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me -1- 1974 15 The Bitch Is Back -2- 1974 10 Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds -NAS- 1975 12 Philadelphia Freedom (The Elton John Band) -NAS- 1975 22 Someone Saved My Life Tonight -1- 1975 14 Island Girl -1- 1976 07 Pinball Wizard -OST- 1976 01 Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Elton John & Kiki Dee) -NAS- MILLION SELLER 1976 37 Benny And The Jets -4*- 1976 11 Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word -1- 1977 27 Crazy Water -2- 1977 28 Bite Your Lip / Chicago (Elton John & Kiki Dee) -3- 1978 34 Ego -NAS- 1978 15 Part Time Love -1- 1978 04 Song For Guy -2- 1979 01 Are You Ready For Love -1- 1980 33 Little Jeannie -1- 1980 44 Sartorial Eloquence (Don't Ya Wanna Play This Game No More?) -2- 1981 40 I Saw Her Standing There (The Elton John Band & John Lennon) -NAS- 1981 42 Nobody Wins -1- 1982 08 Blue Eyes -1- 1982 51 Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) -2- 1983 05 I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues -1- 1983 04 I'm Still Standing -2- MILLIONAIRE 1983 20 Kiss The Bride -3- 1983 33 Cold As Christmas (In The Middle Of The Year) -4- 1984 07 Sad Songs (Say So Much) -1- 1984 05 Passengers -2- 1984 50 Who Wears These Shoes? -3- 1985 59 Breaking Hearts (Ain't What It Used To Be) -4- 1985 32 Act Of War (Elton John & Millie Jackson) -NAS- 1985 03 Nikita -1- 1985 12 Wrap Her Up -2- 1986 47 Cry To Heaven -3- 1986 45 Heartache All Over The World -1- 1986 44 Slow Rivers (Elton John & Cliff Richard) -2- 1987 59 Flames Of Paradise (Jennifer Rush & Elton John) 1987 85 Your Song (Live) -1- 1988 05 Candle In The Wind (Live) -2- 1988 30 I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That -1- 1988 74 Town Of Plenty -2- 1988 91 A Word In Spanish -3- 1989 41 Through The Storm (Aretha Franklin & Elton John) 1989 45 Healing Hands -1- 1989 55 Sacrifice -2- 1990 01 Sacrifice / Healing Hands -3- 1990 47 Club At The End Of The Street / Whispers -4- 1990 33 You Gotta Love Someone -1- 1990 63 Easier To Walk Away -2- 1991 01 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (George Michael & Elton John) -1^- 1992 10 The One -1- 1992 31 Runaway Train (Elton John & Eric Clapton) -OST- 1992 21 The Last Song -2- 1993 44 Simple Life -3- 1993 02 True Love (Elton John & Kiki Dee) -2^- 1994 07 Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Elton John & RuPaul) -3^- 1994 24 Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing (Marcella Detroit & Elton John) -4^- 1994 14 Can You Feel The Love Tonight -OST- 1994 11 Circle Of Life -OST- 1995 15 Believe -1- 1995 18 Made In England -2- 1996 33 Please -3- 1997 01 Something About The Way You Look Tonight / Candle In The Wind '97 -1- MILLION SELLER 1998 16 Recover Your Soul -2- 1998 32 If The River Can Bend -3- 1999 10 Written In The Stars (Elton John & LeAnn Rimes) -1- 2001 09 I Want Love -1- 2002 24 This Train Don't Stop There Anymore -2- 2002 39 Original Sin -3- 2002 01 Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (Blue feat.

It was founded in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for anti-famine efforts in Ethiopia by releasing the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for the Christmas market that year. On 25 November 1984, the song was recorded at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, and was released in the UK on Monday 3 December. The single surpassed the hopes of the producers to become the Christmas number one on that release. Three subsequent re-recordings of the song to raise further money for charity also topped the charts, first the Band Aid II version in 1989 and the Band Aid 20 version in 2004 and finally the Band Aid 30 version in 2014. The original was produced by Midge Ure. The 12" version was mixed by Trevor Horn. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 1984 01 Do They Know It's Christmas? -NAS- MILLION SELLER 1989 01 Do They Know It's Christmas?

Instantly recognisable thanks to her signature ponytail and breezy self-confidence, Grande, born in Florida in 1993, has developed a slyly sexual personal brand that has, like that of the Spice Girls before her, become an iconic image of young female power. But Grande is more than a symbol: over the course of several albums and scores of hit singles across the genre spectrum—beginning with 2013’s R&B crooner “The Way” (featuring Mac Miller) and continuing through to an EDM collab with Zedd (“Break Free”), slinky retro-soul (“Dangerous Woman”) and diva trap-pop (“7 rings”)—she has consistently outshined her male collaborators and deftly parlayed her stardom into activism. An LGBTQ+ advocate and outspoken feminist, she has long used her platform to confront misogyny, sexism, homophobia and bullying, spreading a message of love over all. Her Max Martin-produced smash “no tears left to cry”, an escapist dance-floor triumph released a year after a deadly terrorist attack at one of her concerts in 2017, and its subsequent album, Sweetener, sent a message of hope and healing, with a dose of hear-me-roar attitude. Grande’s pop vision has since focused inward, using music as a therapeutic tool for spiritual growth. After experiencing a devastating personal loss with the death of ex-boyfriend Mac Miller in 2018, she re-emerged with 2019’s thank u, next, an elegiac album that was as therapeutic as it was dance-ready, with a title track that sends off ex-lovers with a gentle kiss on the cheek. The following year’s pandemic-written Positions highlights Grande’s mellifluous vocals and her desire to be content in love—even when boasting about her sexual prowess (as on the cheeky “34+35”), the real star of her heart is her own self. And on her lush, auto-fictitious 2024 concept album, eternal sunshine, she glides with a coy smile and a heavenly whistle through the emotions of a woman betrayed, perceived and adored, with a short wave to critics and tabloids on the pulsing house groove of “yes, and?” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2013 41 The Way (feat.

But what’s most amazing about the Texan sweetheart’s Cinderella story is not how she earned that first burst of reality-TV glory but how she extended her 15 minutes to weather setbacks and forge a career as one of music’s best-loved performers. Clearly Clarkson’s power and versatility as a vocalist were equaled by her determination and resilience, qualities she displayed when she shifted away from pop ballads like her Idol signature song “A Moment Like This” toward spunkier declarations of autonomy like 2004’s “Since U Been Gone” and 2011’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).” Those hits proved Clarkson was just as happy rocking out as she was demonstrating her fervent love for pop, country, and R&B. They also showed how even major-league song doctors like Max Martin had to conform to Clarkson’s style and sensibility, not the other way around. Her eighth consecutive album to debut in the top three spots on the Billboard album charts, 2017’s Meaning of Life was her most confident and well-rounded statement to date.

The latter was a vital vocal interpreter—witness his melancholy turn on Ewan MacColl’s “Dirty Old Town”—and crafted lyrics about deeply flawed characters (the toxic couple of “Fairytale of New York”) and the bittersweet nature of life (the hard-living bar denizens in "Sally MacLennane" and the nostalgic narrators of “A Pair of Brown Eyes”, both found on 1985’s Elvis Costello–produced Rum Sodomy & the Lash). MacGowan never lost sight of the humanity beneath the surface, which gave his music great depth. The Pogues parted ways with him in the early ’90s over his erratic behaviour but continued on as a band, earning a modest global hit in 1993 with the jangly “Tuesday Morning”. However, the story had a happy ending: in 2001, MacGowan enjoyed a well-deserved victory lap with The Pogues, touring with them on and off until 2014. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History The Pogues 1985 72 Pair Of Brown Eyes -1- 1985 51 Sally MacLennane -2- 1985 62 Dirty Old Town -3- 1986 29 Poguetry In Motion -EP- 1986 42 Haunted -OST- 1987 08 The Irish Rover (The Pogues & The Dubliners) -NAS- 1987 02 Fairytale Of New York (feat.

His single "Jingle Bell Rock" first became a hit in 1957, and it reappeared on the charts four of the following five years to become an all-time Christmas classic. Before he was pigeonholed, though, Helms had a successful country career with two number one hits to his credit. Born on August 15, 1933, in Bloomington, IN, Helms first performed on his father Fred's Monroe County Jamboree, singing while brother Freddie played guitar. The Helms Brothers, as they were billed, became a regional attraction. Bobby later cut a single called "Tennessee Rock and Roll," but then returned to Bloomington to appear on the Hayloft Frolic television show. While on the program, he was encouraged to go to Nashville to sing background vocals on an Ernest Tubb session. Tubb recommended him to Decca Records, and the label signed him in 1956. His debut single, "Fraulein," initially flopped in January 1957 but then hit number one on the country chart in April. (The song also hit the pop Top 40 in July of 1957.) In October, Helms released another number one, "My Special Angel," which stayed four weeks at the top and crossed over to number seven pop. Helms' next recording was "Jingle Bell Rock"; though Decca released it only two days before Christmas 1957, the single still peaked at number six on the pop chart. Two 1958 singles -- "Just a Little Lonesome" and "Jacqueline" -- hit the country Top Ten but flopped elsewhere, though a reissue of "Jingle Bell Rock" made the pop Top 40. The country single "Lonely River Rhine" hit the Top 20 in 1960, but subsequent new material from Helms had little success. (Decca reissued his Christmas hit each year from 1960 to 1962 with diminishing returns.) Helms toured throughout the '60s and recorded two albums for Kapp in 1966, I'm the Man and Sorry My Name Isn't Fred -- a nod either to brother Freddie or father Fred. Two years later, he released All New Just for You on the Little Darlin' label. Several singles placed modestly on the country charts during 1967-1968, including "He Thought He'd Die Laughing" and "So Long." The 1970 Certron single "Mary Goes 'Round" was his last hit, but Helms recorded Pop-a-Billy for MCA as late as 1983. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1957 22 My Special Angel -1- 1958 30 No Other Baby -NAS- 1958 20 Jacqueline -NAS- 2017 05 Jingle Bell Rock -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 2 x Top 20 | 4 x Top 40 | 4 x Top 100 Social Media Bobby Helms

At nine years old, Lee joined the cast of the TV show Ozark Jubilee after impressing host Red Foley with her rendition of “Jambalaya.” Her first hit, “One Step At A Time,” released when she was 12, peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Country chart and No. 43 on the Hot 100. Lee’s most famous single, 1958’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree,” initially only sold 5,000 copies, but by 1978 it had sold 5 million and continues to be one of the most-played holiday songs. From 1958 to 1962, she had 10 consecutive Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100—a record for a female solo artist that she held for more than 20 years. The 1960 hit “I’m Sorry” earned Lee her first of four Grammy nominations, and and she was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame in 1997 and the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2002, making her the first woman to earn both distinctions. John Lennon once referred to Brenda Lee as the greatest rock ’n’ roll voice of all time. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 1960 04 Sweet Nothin's -2'- 1960 12 I'm Sorry -3'- 1960 31 I Want To Be Wanted -1- 1961 12 Let's Jump The Broomstick -1'- 1961 45 Emotions -1- 1961 22 Dum Dum -1*- 1961 38 Fool #1 -1- 1962 46 Break It To Me Gently -1^- 1962 03 Speak To Me Pretty -2*- 1962 05 Here Comes That Feeling -NAS- 1962 15 It Started All Over Again -NAS- 1962 04 Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree -1"- MILLIONAIRE 1963 07 All Alone Am I -1- 1963 10 Losing You -2^- 1963 14 I Wonder -1- 1963 28 Sweet Impossible You -NAS- 1964 05 As Usual -2- 1964 26 Think -1~- 1964 17 Is It True? -NAS- 1964 25 Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day -2"- 1965 41 Thanks A Lot -NAS- 1965 22 Too Many Rivers -2~- 0 x #1 | 4 x Top 5 | 7 x Top 10 | 12 x Top 20 | 19 x Top 40 | 22 x Top 100 Social Media Brenda Lee
