Biography

Born in 1990 in the small Irish town of Bray, Andrew John Hozier-Byrne—better known as Hozier—was first heard in the company of others, contributing his preternaturally powerful voice to Ireland’s renowned Trinity Orchestra and choral troupe Anúna. 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

One of my favourite songs of 2024, glad it stuck around for this year! Not looking forward to the Teddy Swims/Myles Smith/Shaboozey onslaught later though

2026 got extra week as has 53 week 1 extra week Christmas songs

Is anyone keeping note of all the 1tros going on now? I'm not doing it this week..

So more 2025 snubs for 2024 leftovers 😅

Too sweet is a bop though

I still like it but this is sooooo 2024.

“Too Sweet” is my favourite #1 of 2024. Glad it’s made the year end Top 40 again, though I fully expect it to be outsold by “Take Me To Church” next year.

Biography

Noah Kahan pens tenderhearted meditations on life’s ups and downs that are rustic enough for country cabins yet infectious enough for the pop charts. The singer-songwriter was born in 1997 and grew up on a farm in Vermont. He spent his youth refining his folk picking on guitar, banjo, and mandolin while transforming his voice into the raspy falsetto captured on his debut hit, 2017's "Hurt Somebody." Recorded while bouncing between New York, L.A., and points in between, Kahan’s first two full-lengths, 2019’s Busyhead and 2021’s I Was / I Am, showcase an artist sharpening his pop instincts. When the Covid pandemic hit in 2020, Kahan returned to Vermont and—feeling nostalgic for his New England childhood—stripped his music to its gritty soul, resulting in 2022's breakout album, Stick Season. He went on to reimagine several cuts, including a version of “Dial Drunk” featuring rapper Post Malone, that reflect a gift for shaping folk and pop into increasingly novel expressions. - Apple Music

ive known of it for ages. The original is MUCHHHHH better i’m not even kidding

Heard this at the perfect time in my life to hear it, it's pretty whiny but the lyrics hit pretty hard at the time so I can't dislike it

Erm no that version was god awful

Just now, J4Y said:

Absolutely - her version would've fit in perfectly with the tracklist of GUTS, especially as a hidden track (remember those)?
