January 24, 20251 yr find 'APT' quite grating these days so hoping the brilliant 'Messy' can snatch #1
January 24, 20251 yr Very exciting chart today! Whichever gets to the top tonight doesn't matter much to me as they both deserve number one but would prefer Messy 1 because I enjoy it more and 2 it'll be a new number one by a Brit after 5 months without one
January 24, 20251 yr Author I love both songs, APT. is my top choice but I wouldn't be sad at Messy at all, especially if this does end up being its only chance.
January 24, 20251 yr Like both and would be happy with both getting a turn at #1 but since the abysmal Central Cee looms next week I hope APT gets in there.

After leaving Brigham Young University to pursue his music career, the singer-songwriter tried out for American Idol, but he left the competition after making it past the talent show’s auditions. Trading the small screen of TV for the hand-sized screens of social media, he began posting videos online, and Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds took notice, signing Boone to his label Night Street Records. Boone’s early singles were emotion-packed piano ballads—the sweeping debut single “GHOST TOWN,” the swirling 2022 cut “In The Stars”—but plugging in proved to be a winning strategy. His modern power ballad “Beautiful Things,” released in early 2024, was an online sensation before it became a global megahit, reaching the U.S. Top 10 and readying the world for Boone’s debut full-length, Fireworks & Rollerblades, which came out that spring. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2021 46 Ghost Town -1- 2022 21 In The Stars -2- 2024 01 Beautiful Things -1- MILLIONAIRE 2024 14 Slow It Down -2- 2024 55 Cry -AT- 2024 43 Pretty Slowly -3- 1 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 2 x Top 20 | 3 x Top 40 | 6 x Top 100 Social Media Benson Boone

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 Top 100 Chart History 2014 02 Take Me To Church -1- MILLIONAIRE 2015 19 Someone New -3- 2015 69 From Eden -2/4- 2018 87 Nina Cried Power (feat.

January 24, 20251 yr “Lose Control” definitely seems to be winning the war over “Beautiful Things” The war of mediocrity?
January 24, 20251 yr Too Sweet will always be fantastic but it still being in the top 40 now is more nonsense.
January 24, 20251 yr Author Y'all love to be so loud about Beautiful Things but Benson stays winning :cool:
January 24, 20251 yr Author 38 | 43 | 29th week Gracie Abrams I Love You, I'm Sorry 3rd single from The Secret of Us Released: 21st June 2024 Label: Gracie Abrams Chart Statistics NE (11/07/2024) | 100-71-69-58-57-41-38-37-38-25-21-18-17-19-11-4-5-4-4-20-27-36-63-65-63-x RE (09/01/2025) | 36-36-43-38 Sales: 500,000+ Certification: Gold Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 80 Sales 07 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video uxjhN_Donfw 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.
