02 Tate McRae - Sports car

03 Ravyn Lenae - Love Me Not

2021

01 Lil Nas X - MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)

03 Tiësto - The Business

2016

03 Tinie Tempah - Girls Like (feat. Zara Larsson)

2011

01 Lady Gaga - Judas

02 Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

03 Katy Perry - E.T. (feat. Kanye West)

2006

01 Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

02 Rihanna - SOS

03 The Kooks - Naïve

2001

01 Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood

02 Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On

03 Madonna - What It Feels Like For a Girl

1996

01 The Prodigy - Firestarter

02 Manic Street Preachers - A Design For Life

03 Robert Miles - Children

15 years since Gaga continued to shock the world by dropping 'Judas' at Easter! I was initially underwhelmed by it, particularly finding the chorus weak, but it ended up growing on me so much and I especially love those stabby synths nowadays. Glad it's endured long-term with over 1 billion streams. 'Fast Car' is obviously stunning but I decided to prioritise the actual 2011 song at the top of my rank. I remember 'Fast Car' being boosted by BGT at the time when it was still a fairly big deal. A fever dream of a series with The Hoff as one of the judges...!

'Get Ur Freak On' and 'A Design For Life' were stellar new entries 25 and 30 years ago respectively, also.

Always forget how big the music of the sun era was, the juggernaut of Crazy really skews your perception

Lewis Capaldi

Stay Love

4th single from Survive

Released: 17th April 2026

Label: Vertigo Berlin

Biography

Lewis Capaldi’s first two albums—2019’s Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent and 2023’s Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent—broadcast their messy emotional content right there in those sprawling titles. “I think we all attempt to be heavenly sent,” the former Up Next artist told Apple Music in 2023, explaining the latter title. “Everyone strives to be good at something, or find some sort of purpose. And sometimes, in the pursuit of that, it can leave you feeling a bit dejected.” And make no mistake: Capaldi has become one of the most popular young artists of his generation by preserving his songs in a raw, unvarnished state, providing the purest representation of the pain and longing coursing through his lyrics. Amidst the hyper-paced, totally wired world of late-2010s pop, this unassuming Scottish singer-songwriter—born in 1996 in Glasgow—stopped the internet dead in its tracks with his DIY 2017 single “Bruises,” a stark, piano-based breakup ballad that introduced a voice imbued with the sort of soulful grit and deeply felt heartache you wouldn’t expect from a baby-faced 21-year-old. That song was Capaldi’s ticket to major-label deals and tours opening for pop A-listers like Sam Smith and Niall Horan, but he would swiftly join their ranks with Divinely Uninspired…, which fleshed out his sound with lush orchestration and gospel gravitas but retained his fearless flair for emotional dredging. Capaldi proved no less forthcoming on Broken By Desire…, counterbalancing all his success with self-deprecating lyrical turns. Though he took a break from touring after releasing the album in order to improve his mental and physical health, that decisive step felt just as real and necessary as the doubt and passion he airs in his songs. - Apple Music

Lana Del Rey

First Light

Soundtrack single from 007 First Light

Released: 16th April 2026

Label: Polydor Records / Interscope Records

Video

Biography

Though she’s got the name and look of a ’60s-era Hollywood star, Lana Del Rey could only have emerged in the internet era. At a time when social media was giving people the power to curate their identities and present idealised versions of themselves online, the struggling singer-songwriter once known as Lizzy Grant (born in New York in 1985) reinvented herself as Lana Del Rey for her epochal 2011 single “Video Games”. The wistful orchestral ballad (and an accompanying Super 8-style video that heralded the ubiquity of soft-focus Instagram filters) introduced an artist who delighted in breaking hearts and the internet alike, knowingly using coquettish sex-kitten cliches as a means to probe male behaviour and, by extension, the American id itself. Not only did the song prove it was possible to cultivate genuine mystique in the age of oversharing, but it also carved out a space for languid, Twin Peaks-worthy arty pop amid a Top 40 normally reserved for jacked-up pop anthems. Since then, Lana has always kept listeners guessing. Informed equally by classic-rock mythology and modern hip-hop attitude, she can casually name-drop Lou Reed in a dream-pop serenade (2014’s “Brooklyn Baby”) as effortlessly as she communes with R&B futurist The Weeknd (2017’s “Lust for Life”). More than a mere retro stylist, Lana embraces nostalgic all-American imagery only to corrupt it through subversive—sometimes profane—anti-love songs while elevating pop-cultural detritus into high art: On 2019’s Norman F*****g Rockwell!—an epic masterwork that scales the heights of Elton John’s early-'70s classics—she makes room for a cover of Sublime’s ’90s stoner-funk anthem “Doin’ Time”. In the 2020s, she’s remained effortlessly provocative at every gripping turn—with the sweeping, self-referential yearning of 2021’s Chemtrails Over the Country Club and Blue Banisters and the sprawling, unfiltered intimacy of 2023’s Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, in which she dubbed her candid, stream-of-conscious process “meditative automatic singing”. As she continues to build the mythology of Lana Del Rey, she seems to be slowly, gradually blurring the line between her art and her Self. - Apple Music

Biography

Tyla creates music that is at once indelibly South African and ambitiously global. It’s a unique balance, one molded by the sounds she heard as a child growing up in Johannesburg. Not only did Tyla (born in 2002) listen to plenty of homegrown music, including Kwaito and Afropop, but she was also exposed to ’90s American R&B greats like Aaliyah and Brandy. As with so many artists coming of age in the 21st century, the motivated teenager utilized social media to showcase her swiftly evolving talent; she then teamed up with South African producer Kooldrink for “Getting Late.” The 2019 single is a mesmerizing realization of Tyla’s love for bridging styles. The killer rhythm track is rooted in amapiano, and the singer’s translucent vocals reveal stunning versatility: hypnotic enough for dance music yet packed with pop’s effortless catchiness and R&B’s undiluted soulfulness. Tyla swirled all of those elements together seamlessly for Tyla, her 2024 eponymous debut that crystallized her status as an emerging global superstar. Powered by the irresistible "Water," not to mention the Gunna- and Skillibeng-aided "Jump," the project proved her ability to unite people and genres on the global embassy of the dance floor. - Apple Music
