February 28, 20251 yr So happy for both Sam and Tate. I’ve hardly listened to anything else apart from those two albums all week! Tates one was my preference over the two but both are brilliant bodies of work and I’m happy to see them both have success. Also funny to see how in sync their releases have been, with 2 hands and people watching both dropping on the same day, the albums both on the same day and also sports car and arms length on the same day! Funny that!
February 28, 20251 yr An almost palindromic chart run for this, starting and ending at #19, with weeks at #3 and #1 either side of that drop to #21
February 28, 20251 yr Sam managed over 100k as he was certified Gold today! Will be interesting to see his actual final numbers.
February 28, 20251 yr 1 minute ago, jimwatts said:3 out of 3 #1 albums for Sam - look forward to seeing the sales!The BRITs Twitter account said it's certified Gold, so it's done over 100k in its first week.
February 28, 20251 yr Just now, Paramore said:Its weird. He's obviously doing really well but I feel like after 3 number 1 albums he should be bigger? Like he should be getting more top 10 singles. Its like he's stagnant.To be fair, his breakthrough moment came after the second album was released. Also he has done all singles wise, but I think he will always be more of an albums artist than a singles artist.

But for Lady Gaga—one of popular culture’s greatest, most extravagant creations—the inauthenticity is the point. No artist has more defiantly embodied that provocation this century than the one born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (in New York in 1986). Never wedded to the same image—her most memorable looks (among many) have included a gown fashioned from raw meat, a red-carpet-appropriate pair of dish gloves, and “the world’s first flying dress”—Gaga personifies pop’s surface obsessions while simultaneously upending them. In a sense, her creative identity had crystallized by age 21; she’d been a child pianist, aspiring actor, and burlesque performer. Each of these facets powered her career’s most distinct parts: the celebrity fascination of her first two albums, 2008’s The Fame and 2009’s The Fame Monster; the subversive layering of 2011’s Born This Way and 2013’s ARTPOP; the sincere reverence of 2014’s Cheek to Cheek, her jazz standards album with Tony Bennett; the rootsier songwriting of 2016’s Joanne; and 2020’s jubilant return to her neon-hued electro roots, Chromatica. If the 2009 smash “Paparazzi” reveled in the flashes, then “Born This Way” celebrated inner light: In translating her diffuse identity into world-conquering art, Gaga has become a beacon to anyone else who’s felt like an outsider. Her loyal following of Little Monsters has affirmed a deep connection to her message of self-love and self-expression, despite pop’s fickleness and her chameleonic exterior. She played out a simpler version of her path to fame in the Oscar-worthy 2018 remake of A Star Is Born. But while her character’s ascent was abetted by her lover, Gaga’s was all her own. - Apple MusicBruno MarsBruno Mars has a good story about Prince: Mars is hanging out at an awards show, during a commercial break. The crowd is filled with celebrities. Suddenly, Mars feels the room shift, people part, and there he is, Mars told Apple Music in a 2016 interview—Prince, “just floating by, levitating by.” Prince catches Mars’ eye and gives him a thumbs-up, and Mars—stunned—gives Prince a thumbs-up back. “And that’s it,” Mars said. “What more can you ask?” More than a Prince cosign? How about a stack of multiplatinum records? The privilege of being able to entertain people the world over? Mars has those too. But you get the sense that the nod from Prince was affirmation of a higher order. Even when he was living on instant ramen noodles and trying to find his way into the industry, Mars knew he didn’t just want to be a songwriter or a singer or a producer, but—like Prince, or maybe Michael Jackson—a total pop package, the kind of artist who’s as powerful in the studio as they are onstage. Those records, though: “Uptown Funk,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” “That’s What I Like.” Fun, omnivorous, generation-bridging. The kind of stuff that Mom will be pulling you onto the dance floor for. Mars could do old-fashioned showmanship, could credibly play the crooner with a live band to boot. But he also had an ear for hip-hop and R&B, could—like all great pop—collapse the distance between then and now, Black music and white. Most of all, he knew how much retro was retro enough: Music that made you think about the past, not pine for it. Born Peter Hernandez in Honolulu in 1985, Mars took the stage early, famously doing Elvis impersonations with a family revue at a local hotel before he even hit kindergarten. (In one formative moment, young Mars wet his jumpsuit during “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” but finished without flinching.) As a teenager, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a deal with Motown Records. The deal went nowhere, but Mars kept himself afloat by writing and producing with a team called The Smeezingtons, which he helped found. In 2010, he released his debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. By 2012’s Unorthodox Jukebox, the image had gotten a little grittier, the sound a little more diverse, and the retro affectations—goodbye, pompadour—a little less pronounced. Leaning on the slick bounce of ’80s and ’90s funk and R&B, 24K Magic followed in 2016, sweeping its nominations at the Grammys. A confessed perfectionist, Mars pushes on. “All the statues or Time magazine—that s**t is beautiful and made my parents and my family proud and all that,” he told Apple Music. “But there’s this battle within—that you always wanna. You got this fighter’s spirit. I still feel like I’m chasing to prove something to myself, that I got a better song in me.” - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart HistoryLady Gaga2009 01 Just Dance (feat.

Born and raised in 1994 in the northeastern English town of North Shields, the singer/songwriter first picked up a guitar at age 10 and began playing gigs locally as a teen to help support him and his mother. But it wasn’t until he started writing music for himself—rather than what he thought others wanted to hear—that everything started to click. That’s when he wrote his 2017 debut single, “Play God”, a propulsive, politically charged slice of indie rock. It came from a place of deep desperation, “a time where I was like, ‘I need to prove myself. I need to do something that cuts through,’” he told Apple Music. The track earned him a slot on BBC’s Sound of 2018 shortlist, which led to a deal with Polydor Records and the release of his acclaimed 2019 debut, Hypersonic Missiles, an album that channels modern-day anxiety through heartfelt heartland rock. His 2021 follow-up, Seventeen Going Under, hit even harder, pumped full of soaring arrangements and bold statements that continue to prove Fender’s power as a mighty millennial voice for the working class. - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History2019 89 Play God -1-2019 48 Hypersonic Missiles -2- MILLIONAIRE2019 43 Will We Talk? -3-2019 59 The Borders -IG-2021 03 Seventeen Going Under -1- MILLIONAIRE2021 48 Get You Down -2-2021 41 Spit Of You -3-2022 47 Getting Started -4-2022 61 Alright -PS-2022 71 Wild Grey Ocean -5-2024 05 Homesick (Noah Kahan & Sam Fender)2024 04 People Watching -1-2025 14 Arm's Length -2-2025 94 Wild Long Lie -IG-2025 48 Remember My Name -IG-2025 24 Little Bit Closer -AT-0 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 3 x Top 10 | 4 x Top 20 | 5 x Top 40 | 16 x Top 100Social Media Sam Fender

February 28, 20251 yr Arms length is such a bore imo. It’d my least fave on the whole album, never really goes anywhere.
February 28, 20251 yr I'd be all for dwas getting reset when the album hits out of the 3 singles it deserves its moment

In terms of album and concert sales, he's on a upward trajectory

Its like he's stagnant.Albums success doesn't necessarily translate to singles success though, and he didn't even have a top 40 single until the week his second album came out. This week he has three at the same time, seems like a lot of growth to me!

Born Jaten Dimsdale in 1992 (outside Atlanta, GA), the singer-songwriter credits his father for introducing him to Al Green, but his influences have spread far and wide ever since. Before going viral in 2019 with showstopping covers of Michael Jackson and Shania Twain, Dimsdale was tackling alt-rock, hair metal, and soul in four different bands. He had also created the alias Teddy Swims as a hip-hop project. But upon releasing his 2020 major-label debut single, “Picky,” and later his heart-baring 2023 debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) (featuring the scorching hit “Lose Control”), the vocal powerhouse has used that versatility to sculpt his own soul-soaked, country-tinged, pop-conscious style—every bit of it highly emotionally charged. “I end up writing the same feeling down in as many ways and perspectives as I possibly can,” he told Apple Music—adding, with a laugh, “It’s my duty to hurt.” - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History2022 89 Better (MK & BURNS feat.

It helps that the actor and singer-songwriter—born in 1999 in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania—pursued both sides of her career in tandem, releasing music while establishing a regular presence on the Disney Channel and through other acting gigs, including on Broadway. And 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 plenty of dance music sounds. Singular Act I and Singular Act II—a two-part album that dropped in 2018 and 2019—provided yet more proof of her fast-developing abilities as a singer and songwriter who had moved past teen-star stereotypes to become a full-fledged club powerhouse. Later, Carpenter stepped back sonically to express herself more personally, as on the intimately acoustic “skinny dipping,” from her fifth album, emails i can’t send. Still, the sheer fun of it all has never waned. Just listen to one of the many ad-libbed outros in her live performances of the album’s pop hit “Nonsense,” or indeed the lyrical playfulness of “Espresso,” the flirty funk banger that became summer 2024’s defining hit—and which provided Carpenter’s official breakout moment. Next came the Jack Antonoff-produced “Please Please Please” (which became the summer’s second-biggest hit) and her sixth record Short n’ Sweet, a showcase of the most winking, witty music of Carpenter’s career so far. But if it saw the newly crowned pop princess take aim at past relationships, it also saw her take aim at herself. “A lot of what I really love about this album is the accountability,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “I will call myself out just as much as I will call out someone else.” - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History2021 28 Skin -NAS-2023 32 Nonsense -1-2023 19 Feather -2-2023 16 A Nonsense Christmas -1-2023 83 buy me presents -AT-2024 01 Espresso -1- MILLIONAIRE2024 01 Please Please Please -2- MILLIONAIRE2024 01 Taste -3-2024 06 Bed Chem -4-2024 24 Juno -AT-2025 10 Busy Woman -5-3 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 5 x Top 10 | 7 x Top 20 | 10 x Top 40 | 11 x Top 100Social Media Sabrina Carpenter
