January 3, 20251 yr This was one that was reset in Ireland, looking promising for a lack of unnecessary resets here :dance:
January 3, 20251 yr Author Due to lovely circumstance, this is the first chart I've listened to live in probably over a decade. Looking forward to a wacky Top 40. Welcome back! :D And afternoon to everyone else tuning in too, great to have a big crowd today!
January 3, 20251 yr Everyone ripping down their Xmas decorations on Boxing Day after putting them up on November 1st appears to be a recent phenomenon tbh. Slade etc hung on until mid January.
January 3, 20251 yr Author 38 | | 5th week Kendrick Lamar featuring Lefty Gunplay tv off Album track from GNX Released: 22nd November 2024 Label: pgLang Chart Statistics NE (05/12/2024) | 6-20-42-48-x RE (09/01/2025) | 38 Sales: 70,000+ Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio 00 Sales 12 Audio Streaming 50 Video Streaming Video U8F5G5wR1mk 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.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History Kendrick Lamar 2012 57 Swimming Pools (Drank) -1- MILLIONAIRE 2012 50 F**kin' Problems (A$AP Rocky feat.

January 3, 20251 yr Author 37 | | 27th week Gracie Abrams Close To You 2nd single from The Secret of Us Released: 7th June 2024 Label: Gracie Abrams Chart Statistics NE (20/06/2024) | 35-43-49-56-75-83-85-94-66-69-73-68-53-54-54-47-53-50-46-49-56-41-31-37-52-82-x RE (09/01/2025) | 37 Sales: 200,000+ Certification: Silver Status: Standard Chart Ratio 00 Sales 51 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video PmJuMNGp5YE 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.

January 3, 20251 yr Would've rather heard MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD :music: (tbh I probably prefer this one to both of Gracie's top 5 smashes)
January 3, 20251 yr Author Everyone ripping down their Xmas decorations on Boxing Day after putting them up on November 1st appears to be a recent phenomenon tbh. Slade etc hung on until mid January. Can imagine that was partly due to shops wanting to clear their stock and reducing prices! Glad tv off has been skipped, and nice for Close to You to finally get a second chart play!
January 3, 20251 yr Welcome back! :D And afternoon to everyone else tuning in too, great to have a big crowd today! Thanks! I used to post the chart back in the day as Chart mod. Good luck today, live long and prosper! It's always a fun one :D
January 3, 20251 yr "I don't got a single problem..." gets my back up every time with this song... but it's still the song my Gracie I like the most once it gets going.
January 3, 20251 yr I wonder if Mariah and Wham are still to come. Edited January 3, 20251 yr by Jason
January 3, 20251 yr I'm generally not a fan of Gracie's discography (especially the recent stuff unfortunately) but 'Close To You' is a slight bop, maybe her best song actually... Shame that MUSTAAAAAARD got skipped but at least a play for 'luther' is hopefully on the horizon
January 3, 20251 yr close to you is a bop but not one of gracie's best. still a fun one to hear though! also so cool to see its chart run being so strong and long considering when i first became a fan of hers it didnt look like it would ever release! this and say yes to heaven lana had in 2023 should be a sign to artists to release more of their leaked music as clearly theres demand for it, outside their core fanbase too :kink:
January 3, 20251 yr The better Gracie song to be played today (was 'Close To You') Edited January 3, 20251 yr by jimwatts
January 3, 20251 yr I'm generally not a fan of Gracie's discography (especially the recent stuff unfortunately) but 'Close To You' is a slight bop, maybe her best song actually... THIS!
