Biography

J Hus, a Londoner of Gambian heritage, is a major presence in the U.K. rap scene as well as a pioneer of Afroswing, a distinctive blend of dancehall, grime, Auto-Tune-laced R&B, and Afrobeats. After establishing himself in 2015 with a series of freestyles and early singles, such as the heavily streamed "Lean & Bop," he broke through with his 2017 debut full-length, Common Sense, which hit the U.K. Top Ten and earned a shower of critical acclaim, garnering a Mercury Prize nomination, among other accolades. His 2020 follow-up, Big Conspiracy, was an even greater success, topping the U.K. album chart and featuring the Top Five single "Must Be." J Hus' third full-length, Beautiful and Brutal Yard, was previewed by the 2023 singles "It's Crazy" and Drake collaboration "Who Told You." J Hus returned with the Asake collaboration "Gold" in 2025. - Apple Music

(the previous two being Whitney Houston in 1992, and Winifred Atwell in 1954!)

I'm so excited for this year's Christmas Chart!

Kylie was No.1 in 1989 with Band Aid II so it isn't technically the first time she been the Christmas No.1 if she makes it today.

Yes I know but it was credited to Band Aid 2 and not to Kylie.

Slow isn't a very memorable no.1, so it would be good for her to have another.

All The Lovers should have been her most recent no.1 tbf ... well that then Padam

And 'I Believe In You' had it not had the misfortune to run into Band Aid 20.

'Slow' is probably my favourite of her #1s these days, I still admire what a risk it was to come back with something like that after the mammoth success of Fever.

So is the chart show 3-445 today or is it an extended edition?

Extended show but probably and extra bulletin knowing radio 1 🤣

The chart week of the year is here

We could also be pedantic and say "Padam Padam" was No.1 for 5 weeks on the sales chart. 😛

Landing the U.K. underground hit “Palaces” just a few months after his 2024 debut, Merseyside rapper EsDeeKid makes his unique presence in the U.K. scene felt with glowering, weighty vocals and blown-out, bassy productions. Finding a blunt middle ground between jerk and trap, the rapper made his full-length debut with the thunderous 2025 mixtape Rebel. - Apple Music
