Biography

For a band that started out relying mostly on acoustic instruments and barely any drums, Mumford & Sons fashioned a mighty big sound from the get-go. They could be regarded as folk-rockers, but the band—formed in West London in 2007—harness the kind of passion, power, and inspirational drive usually associated with the likes of U2. Main man Marcus Mumford and his cohorts Winston Marshall, Ted Dwane, and Ben Lovett (all of whom play multiple instruments) began building their following from the ground up in and around London before releasing a string of DIY EPs and finally earning enough attention for Island Records to release their debut album, Sigh No More, in 2009. In an electronic-saturated pop era, that record's blend of back-porch picking and arena-ready presence leaned un-self-consciously in the opposite direction, invoking their native folk traditions as well as those of the U.S. But it was 2012 follow-up Babel that really cemented Mumford & Sons' star status. Its first single, the banjo-charged, passionately swelling "I Will Wait," became an intercontinental smash, and the folk-rock floodgates opened. The band's success cleared a path for kindred unplugged spirits like The Lumineers, but by the time Mumford & Sons released their third LP, 2015's Wider Mind, they'd already evolved into another phase, tamping down the folk and amping up the rock, a process they further refined over the next three years, achieving an even more widescreen sound on Delta. - Apple Music

Lil Durk featuring Future

They Want To Be You

Album track from Deep Thoughts

Released: 28th March 2025

Label: Alamo Records

Video

Biography

Back in the early 2010s, Durk Banks was just another rapper making his way in Chicago drill, a bleak, diamond-hard variant on trap that channeled the city’s culture of violence into unlikely anthems. Drill—and the label frenzy that surrounded it—faded, but Durk evolved, becoming one of the rare rappers able to make the leap from regional fame to the mainstream without diluting his street appeal. Painful, raw, but eerily pretty, Durk’s music can turn death threats into nursery rhymes (“Die Slow”) and coax shades of suffering from Auto-Tune that make even the slickest productions breathe with vulnerability (“Turn Myself In”). He doesn’t sugarcoat it. But you get the sense he isn’t putting on too much of a show, either. Born in Chicago in 1992, Durk started rapping in his teens, building local popularity through mixtapes before landing on Def Jam in 2013. His debut album, Remember My Name, came out in 2015, followed by Lil Durk 2X. Though he forged his reputation on drill, Durk proved unexpectedly versatile, an MC who could slip between dead-eyed rawness and Auto-Tuned melodicism, and handle a love song (“India,” “My Beyoncé”) without making it sound like it was a mandate from the label. He left Def Jam in 2018, asserting his independence on a spate of mixtapes before joining Geffen Records with 2020’s Just Cause Y’all Waited 2. In 2022, he performed an Apple Music Live session in Los Angeles and that year also released 7220, which featured some of his catalog’s hardest tracks. He followed that a year later with Almost Healed, a frank exploration of tragedy and loss with a wide range of guests including Alicia Keys, country star Morgan Wallen, and the late Juice WRLD—and which led to 2024’s introspective Deep Thoughts. - Apple Music

Afternoon all

Hoping that Ariana's eternal sunshine re-enters the top 3 albums and 'twilight zone' is top 5 in the singles.

my top 3 songs in each of the retro charts:

2024

1. Ariana Grande - we can't be friends (wait for your love)

2. Hozier - Too Sweet

3. Artemas - i like the way you kiss me

it was pretty cool to have darkwave-adjacent production in the charts with that Artemas song.

2020

1. Dua Lipa - Physical

2. Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now

3. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights

the height of the 80s synth revival in full swing with Dua, The Weeknd and now even Little Mix's 'Break Up Song' in the top 10 🤩

2015

1. Hozier - Take Me to Church

2. Years & Years - King

3. Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (feat. Bruno Mars)

2010

1. Lady Gaga & Beyoncé - Telephone

2. INNA - Hot

3. Plan B - She Said

just tested myself and can indeed still recite the 'She Said' rap lol.

"Got bigger than I ever could've planned, like that song from The Zutons 'Valerie'" *.*

2005

1. Kylie Minogue - Giving You Up

2. Rachel Stevens - Negotiate With Love

3. McFly - All About You

Oh a double whammy of fairly forgotten electro pop girl songs with 'Giving It Up' and 'Negotiate With Love'!

Apparently Girls Aloud recorded 'Giving You Up' as well so I hope they release it from the vaults one day.

'Amarillo' selling bucket loads at the top due to a Peter Kay mimed video is the deeply unserious nation that I recognise

2000

1. Melanie C - Never Be The Same Again (feat. Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes)

2. Moloko - The Time Is Now

3. Chicane - Don't Give Up (feat. Bryan Adams)

1995

1. Strike - U Sure Do

2. Grace - Not Over Yet

3. Take That - Back For Good

'Back For Good' is hands down my favourite 90s Take That song. I'd recommend the YouTube channel Trash Theory's recent documentary video about that song.

I actually knew the Klaxons version of 'Not Over Yet' first (thanks Now 67) but now recognise and love the Grace one.

I don't mind who gets no. 1 today.

That Scouting for Girls song is a huge guilty pleasure for me!

What on earth was that Linger remix they just played?

I've tried to give Ordinary a chance and listened a few times but actually I like it less

the lyrics are atrocious like written by a 11 year old, the bit about the angels and all urggh

Biography

Teddy Swims’ soaring, sonorous howls defy both gravity and genre. 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 Music

Ordinary just gives Love Island background music it's just not for me and his voice sounds like he has something stuck in his throat

Nemzzz has been on my radar for a while now, he's pretty decent. Of course it's a Cench collab giving him his first top 40 tho...

this is just "noise" for me, plus idiotic silly rhymes
