I doubt it, considering it will be this week's number 1 single

You think? Even though they skipped the other 2 Christmas songs.

 

oh used to like this, haven't heard it in ages

seems she's about to have a new hit i the new year

So does this weeks numbers count for next years end of year chart?

Yes pretty sure that’s the case.

Biography

 

Armed with a mesmerising, nimble soprano—and a vocal register often likened to those of Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera—Ariana Grande began her career as a child star on Broadway and Nickelodeon before transforming into a pop and R&B powerhouse. 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

Still absolutely love yes, and? :wub:

Yes, Andrea almost feels a bit forgotten now. Although I've obvs been hearing it in gay clubs and at Prides all year long.

This fell off pretty hard. Much prefer it to "We Can't Be Friends"

still think this is like a poor copy of Vogue that didn't work, one of the epic fails of the year

'Water' is lovely

haven't actually checked out 'Push 2 Start' yet hopefully that's good too as it's seemingly going to be a hit in the new year.

 

'Yes, and' was a nice little pivot from Ariana, she certainly has the voice for it. 'Defying Gravity' to be somewhere around here in next year's chart perhaps

still think this is like a poor copy of Vogue that didn't work, one of the epic fails of the year

 

It's a deliberate homage to it.

Biography

 

“I’m the biggest emo drama queen,” Olivia Rodrigo (born in 2003 in Murrieta, CA) told Apple Music. But the key to letting it out is keeping it together, and balancing that tension has been key to the onetime High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star, who quickly established herself as one of pop’s next-generation leaders and has since proved herself adept at combining the twist-filled, sonically dense music of ’90s alt-rock with unabashed emotionalism.

Rodrigo was just 17 when her first post-Disney hit, the weepy “drivers license,” took over pop at the beginning of 2021, but she had been getting ready for years, taking lessons in piano, voice, and acting as a child. A few months later, Rodrigo released her debut album, SOUR, a breakup record with a meticulous rage: “Where’s my f*****g teenage dream?” she wondered on "brutal," the album's Elastica-recalling opener. Whatever dreams she had during its genesis were vivid, as evidenced by lyrics that zero in on the details: an ex singing along to Billy Joel with his new love (the swirling “deja vu”); reading said ex’s self-help books “so you’d think that I was smart” (the stripped-down “enough for you”). GUTS, which followed in 2023, built on SOUR, with Rodrigo (and her producer and collaborator Dan Nigro) placing her pointillistic lyrics in an expanded sonic palette that incorporated influences from off-kilter ’90s acts like The Breeders (the illicit-thrill chronicle “bad idea right?”) and Butthole Surfers (the loose-limbed “get him back!”). While Rodrigo’s roots are in teen pop, her emotions—and her songs’ hooks—are relatable for listeners of all ages. - Apple Music

Could've done without this being played

Vampire still sounds so good as it did last year!

Not heard this in a while, must say it's sounding really great to my ears right now!

Not heard this in a while. Sounds fab still!

'Water' was nice to hear again.

'yes, and?' was a good comeback from Ariana, although I prefer her other three #2s as sole artist.

'Vampire' still sounds big.

'Vampire' gets the rare honour of the "clean version is better" award

Biography

 

In an interview with Apple Music, Kendrick Lamar reflected on his 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly—in particular, the song “Alright.” It wasn’t that it sold well (it did). It wasn’t that it won awards (it did). It wasn’t even that it broke new ground for where hip-hop might go. For Lamar, the success was that people sang it in the streets. “A lot of people don’t have voices out there,” he said. “So to see them actually express themselves through song, through lyrics that I wrote?” For a kid from Compton whose life was transformed by hip-hop, the fame was nice, but the singing, the spirit, the possibility that his music was opening a cultural inroad for people joining the fight for civil rights—that was real. He might’ve been writing alone. But he was speaking for many. Born in 1987, Lamar grew up under the influence of JAY-Z, Eminem, and 2Pac—for the wordplay, for the imagination, for the heart and sense of community. Given its popularity, Lamar’s music can be surprisingly dense, taking shape in winding, album-length narratives (good kid, m.A.A.d city), live-band hybrids of jazz and funk (To Pimp a Butterfly), and quasi-conceptual explorations of self (2017’s Pulitzer Prize–winning DAMN.). Yes, he wants greatness. But he wants it on his own terms. “I’m not doing it to have a good song,” he said. “Or one good rap. Or a good hook, or a good bridge. I want to keep doing it every time, period. And to do it every time you have to challenge yourself, and you have to confirm to yourself—not anybody else—that you’re the best.” Five years after the release of DAMN., Lamar continued his self-administered competition with Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, an album that was as cathartic as it was exhilarating. Cultivated during a time he sought therapy, the release saw the rapper find creativity, controversy, and clarity as he unearthed the dormant trauma beneath his own rap stardom. Inventive and unsparing, the LP gave new dimensionality to an artist and an entire community, proving that, sometimes, the best tests are the ones we give ourselves. - Apple Music
