Biography

 

Oscillating between trap soundscapes and down-home tunes for driving dusty roads, Shaboozey is proof that rap and country music are more similar than people think. Born Collins Obinna Chibueze in 1995, Shaboozey first gained serious attention with more linear rap offerings like "Jeff Gordon," scoring a deal with Republic Records in 2017. With projects like 2018's Lady Wrangler, he showcased more dimensions to his fusion of country and hip-hop, and the formula was more or less perfected by the time he was releasing songs like 2023's earnestly yearning "Let It Burn." The next year, he parlayed that momentum into guest spots on Beyoncé's country-leaning album, COWBOY CARTER ("SWEET ★ HONEY ★ BUCKIIN'" and "SPAGHETTII"). He leveled up again with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," a track that reimagines J-Kwon's 2004 single "Tipsy" as something you play on a country-bar jukebox. Conventional wisdom says it's a jarring twist, but whether listening to country stars, A-list rappers, or some combination of both, folks can appreciate the virtue of a good turn-up song. - Apple Music

First play on the Friday chart for this? Can't say it's for me at all

Fairly sure it got a play on the week it was #36!

 

A Bar Song still sounds great to me! Not that bothered with the Wicked songs but I'm really not a musical theatre fan anyway I must admit.

Fairly sure it got a play on the week it was #36!

 

Ah thanks for the correction, missed that one

Two covers / interpolations in a row - on paper a musical theatre song and a country version of J-Kwon's 'Tipsy' is pretty eclectic :lol: very bored of this though

Biography

 

Born in 1990 in the small Irish town of Bray, Andrew John Hozier-Byrne—better known as Hozier—was first heard in the company of others, contributing his preternaturally powerful voice to Ireland’s renowned Trinity Orchestra and choral troupe Anúna. But where those early pursuits immersed him in his country’s rich musical traditions, his first single as a solo artist took aim at its most formidable institution. Few debut tracks come out swinging as hard as “Take Me to Church”, a doomy anti-gospel sermon that sets its crosshairs on the hectoring and hypocrisies of the Catholic Church, delivered in a commanding, corrupted-choir-boy voice imbued with equal doses of grace and grit. That striking single topped charts worldwide and scored Hozier a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Still, the self-titled debut album it introduced also showcased a singer-songwriter with a deft command of sweet soulful rockers (“Someone New”) and dreamy folk reveries (“Like Real People Do”). The dichotomy between rage and romanticism would only become more pronounced on 2019’s Wasteland Baby!, where some of Hozier’s prettiest performances to date (like the delicate finger-picked hymn “Shrike”) rub up against the righteous fury of “Nina Cried Power”, a spirited, Mavis Staples-assisted protest anthem that took him back to church to further rattle the steeple. The flames of protest burned on with “Swan Upon Leda”, a stirring prayer for women’s rights inspired by Egyptian feminist Mona Eltahawy and the Mahsa Amini protests in Iran. But all roads ultimately lead back home, and Hozier's next album, Unreal Unearth, centred Irish folklore and language across sprawling, searing tracks “Butchered Tongue” and “Eat Your Young”, collaged together with motifs from Dante's Inferno. In 2024, Hozier reminded fans that for every solemn paean, he can still pen a grizzled, hip-swivelling earworm, this time in the form of “Too Sweet”, a bluesy sinner's anthem that raced up the charts and proved his earlier successes were no mere miracle. - Apple Music

No way this is a country song

It very much is

 

Too Sweet is one I am bored of, but it's a good song and it going to #1 was one of the nicest surprises of 2024 chart-wise.

Still love Too Sweet! Easily my favourite in the top 10 of 2024
I was hoping Imogen Heap could’ve snuck into the top 40 this week
