Biography

The Killers dropped English synth-pop down into their glitzy, scuzzy Las Vegas world, and a familiar sound became brand new. The group launched in 2001, when frontman Brandon Flowers—then working in casinos—answered a advert from guitarist Dave Keuning; they wrote their breakout single, “Mr. Brightside”, at their first meeting. Rounded out by drummer Ronnie Vannucci and bassist Mark Stoermer, they rose to popularity with 2004’s glammy, post-punk Hot Fuss, its single "Somebody Told Me" a cheeky summary of a million conversations in the clubs. While initially seeming like a flashier counterpart to the dourness of The Strokes and Interpol, The Killers traded synthesisers for more guitars in the early 2000s, introducing a new sound akin to U2 and Springsteen on albums like 2006’s Sam’s Town and 2017’s Wonderful Wonderful. They do believe in love and rock, but they seem to feel a little sheepish about it as they get ready to go out. They returned in 2020 with their sixth album, Imploding the Mirage, and the Lindsey Buckingham-assisted single “Caution”. The song serves as both a return to roots and a mission statement for their future, as Flowers told Apple Music that it reminded The Killers of a universal truth: "Rock 'n' roll can be transcendent.” - Apple Music

Seeing that chart run is crazy that must've took you ages

Sad times when there's so little new music taking off that this can coast in like it's nobody's business. Still a cracking song but really unhappy with what it being here represents

Tedious

Aw Jesus gross 🤢

Edited Friday at 15:141 day by Lee_J11

Despite having been in the top 100 for eons, Mr. Brightside cracks the top 40 for the first time since 2013.

Edited Friday at 15:141 day by N-S

I wondered if this would be the next to leave the #10 club, following 'Live Forever' and 'Thriller' in recent times, but low top 40 it is instead.

A great song even if overplayed to death

The most astonishing chart run ever.

I don’t think it would have been here if not for the football though? I think that’s given it a fairly big boost. I do agree with your general sentiment however.

'Mr. Brightside' an eternal banger

Biography

BTS represent the power of pop music as a force for social transformation. The South Korean boy band might be considered K-pop, but that won’t stop them from exploring genre after genre, including old-school hip-hop (“No More Dream”), braggadocio EDM (“Burning Up [FIRE]”) and sweet, light-hearted balladry (“Life Goes On”). Through it all, they’ve touched on subjects like mental health, class inequity and youth resilience, opening doors to listeners willing to take their words to heart. “I think there are so many people in the world that experience the same thing with us, and that’s why they relate to us and our message,” the group’s leader, RM, told Apple Music. Formed in the early 2010s by K-pop producer and executive “Hitman” Bang Si-hyuk, BTS (an acronym for 방탄소년단, or Bangtan Sonyeondan, meaning “Bulletproof Boy Scouts” in English)—RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook—debuted in 2013 with the dark hip-hop single album 2 COOL 4 SKOOL, quickly followed by the trap single “N.O”. These records established BTS as a fierce and outspoken group—but it was the members’ transformation from angsty troublemakers into pensive, emotional wanderers that brought national acclaim, as they traded grunge rap (“Boy in Luv”, “War of Hormone”) for lush synth-pop (“I NEED U”, “RUN”) before finding even greater success while crafting rich alternate universes, invoking Nietzschean philosophy (2016’s “Blood Sweat & Tears”) and Jungian psychoanalysis (2020’s MAP OF THE SOUL : 7). Dense as the band’s mythology can get, BTS’s presence remains simple, clear and uplifting. During the pandemic, they recorded songs predominantly in English for the first time as a way to bring joy to a global audience. With the release of the disco-pop smash “Dynamite” and its smooth, funky sequel “Butter”, BTS shined hope around the globe, conquering charts and bringing people together in the truest way they know how: through music. In 2022, at the height of their fame, the group went on hiatus to complete their mandatory military service. They returned nearly four years later with ARIRANG, which they celebrated on Apple Music Radio with an artist-hosted ARMY Radio special. “We wanted to shake things up,” SUGA told Apple Music of the record, which is grounded in Korean national identity and named after a 600-year-old folk song. “We discussed at length about doing something very new, especially for this album.” - Apple Music

NORMAL is my favourite from this BTS album, nice that it's got a top 40 peak now!

Or 2024!

Didn't like this when it first charted but it's sounding alright now. New music yay!

How come this is a re-entry? I just presumed it was only released last week!

I forgot that.

This BTS song, on the other hand, is very much not an eternal banger x (I at least kind of liked the other charting songs from this album but I find this one pretty annoying oop)
