Biography

Shakira

Before Shakira took the stage alongside Jennifer Lopez at the 2020 Super Bowl, she told Apple Music that the performance was intended “to celebrate Latin culture and the importance of women in the industry”. It was the realisation of a dream that the singer—born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll in Barranquilla, Colombia, in 1977—has worked toward since she started writing songs at eight and released her debut album, Magia, at 14. Following years of success in the Latin music world, she set her sights on conquering the English-language charts, soliciting the help of Gloria Estefan on her 2001 crossover hit, “Whenever, Wherever”, the lead single from her multiplatinum-selling fifth album, Laundry Service. Combining poetic lyrics with tropical rhythms, pop hooks and influences as diverse as folk and electronic music, she quickly became one of the best-selling Latin American artists in history and a worldwide star. Her 2005 team-up with Wyclef Jean on “Hips Don’t Lie” inspired fans to emulate her dance moves, while 2009’s “She Wolf” became a club hit thanks to its sultry beat and ferocious lyrics. She’s since added to her resume with the 2010 World Cup anthem “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, collaborations with Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Rihanna and Pitbull, among others, and the 2016 hit “Chantaje”, with Maluma—all of it confirming she’s truly a global icon whose talents defy boundaries. In 2023, Shakira recaptured the zeitgeist with the acerbic confessionals of “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53”, alongside superstar producer Bizarrap, which became a global smash and set the stage for her long-awaited comeback album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. Her first all-Spanish LP in decades featured a galaxy of stars: reggaetón queen KAROL G for the scorching perreo “TQG”, banda-sinaloense bosses Fuerza Regida for “El Jefe” and cumbia crooners Grupo Frontera on “(Entre Paréntesis)”. - Apple Music

Burna Boy

Nigerian singer Burna Boy opened his 2019 Apple Music Up Next spotlight with a crucial distinction: “Music’s supposed to be a universal language. You understanding what I’m saying is second. The primary thing is, what does the person inside you hear?” It’s a simple but radical thought: you can listen on your terms, but he doesn’t have to meet you halfway. Born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu in 1991 and raised on the southern coast of Nigeria before moving to London for uni, Burna has become one of the most prominent African pop artists of the 21st century. In the process, he has fused his specific background—a Nigerian man entering adulthood in the United Kingdom—with a global vision that encompasses Afrobeat, dancehall, trap, UK hip-hop and just about everything else that might fit under his diasporic umbrella. The result is an artist who isn’t confined by his identity but doesn’t dilute it either. By the time he received broader recognition through a (conspicuously uncredited) feature on Drake’s 2017 mix More Life, he was already a star in Africa. Two years later came African Giant, featuring collaborators as disparate as Angélique Kidjo, Skrillex, Damian Marley and Future while Burna sang about his experiences in a bright multilingual mélange that displayed great pride in the country of his birth. His newfound international fame only grew with his 2023 Apple Music Live performance, which saw him play songs from across his catalogue at London Stadium. That same year’s 21 Savage collab “Sittin’ on Top of the World” reminded audiences just how well his casually dynamic delivery can slot into 1990s-style rap tropes (among other sounds and eras). No wonder he has become an in-demand voice across genres, providing a fresh point of view on tracks from Sia, Stormzy and Sam Smith. More than just an ambassador for modern globe-trotting sounds, Burna brings his unmistakable personality to everything he does. - Apple Music

Biography

Sam Fender crafts the kind of tenacious anthemic rock that punches straight at the gut. Born and raised in 1994 in the northeastern English town of North Shields, the singer/songwriter first picked up a guitar at age 10 and began playing gigs locally as a teen to help support him and his mother. But it wasn’t until he started writing music for himself—rather than what he thought others wanted to hear—that everything started to click. That’s when he wrote his 2017 debut single, “Play God”, a propulsive, politically charged slice of indie rock. It came from a place of deep desperation, “a time where I was like, ‘I need to prove myself. I need to do something that cuts through,’” he told Apple Music. The track earned him a slot on BBC’s Sound of 2018 shortlist, which led to a deal with Polydor Records and the release of his acclaimed 2019 debut, Hypersonic Missiles, an album that channels modern-day anxiety through heartfelt heartland rock. His 2021 follow-up, Seventeen Going Under, hit even harder, pumped full of soaring arrangements and bold statements that continue to prove Fender’s power as a mighty millennial voice for the working class. - Apple Music

Shakira getting another UK Top 2 wasn't something in my cards in 2026. 😍

Twenty years to the week that she was preparing to bounce back to Number One with Hips Don't Lie - the very last number one on weekly Top of the Pops.

Released: 21st July 2026

Label: Charli XCX

Biography

Charli xcx’s creative drive and willingness to take risks has made her one of the most enthralling pop artists of her era. Whether she’s penning defiantly joyous singles like “Boom Clap” or exploring her glitchier, chaotic side on “Vroom Vroom”, Charli’s success comes from her work both in and out of pop music’s formulaic lane. Born Charlotte Aitchison in 1992 in Cambridge to Scottish and Gujarati Indian parents, she took up songwriting at 14, lifting her stage name from her instant messenger handle. On the strength of her MySpace uploads and performances at London raves, she landed a record deal at 18, released the modestly successful darkwave cuts “Stay Away” and “Nuclear Seasons”, and then hit the big time with 2012’s kiss-off anthem “I Love It”. Originally scrapped from her own album for being too poppy, the beat-pounding re-recording by Swedish duo Icona Pop quickly became a worldwide dance-floor favourite. Her goth-tinged debut album, 2013’s True Romance, and tracks like the psychedelic, Gold Panda-sampling “You (Ha Ha Ha)” soon positioned Charli as the missing link between Grimes’ freak scene, Lorde’s dark melodies and Carly Rae Jepsen’s sweetness. But while that album and its follow-up, 2014’s synth-poppy Sucker, brought Charli a few steps closer to mainstream approval, she found more creative freedom among the esoteric, hyperpop wilds of 2016’s Vroom Vroom EP and 2017’s twin mixtapes, Number 1 Angel and Pop 2. While stardom eluded her, Charli built a track record as a prolific songwriter and collaborator, penning standard pop hits for Iggy Azalea (“Fancy”) and Selena Gomez (“Same Old Love”), and working with the likes of Lil Yachty, David Guetta and BTS. Yet Charli shines brightest when she’s illuminating, breaking down and even critiquing the industry that gives her acclaim. In 2020, a year after the release of her eclectic, star-studded third album, Charli, she released the intimate how i’m feeling now, an album written in six weeks during the pandemic with input from fans alongside extensive, real-time video diaries and notes. Two years later, she experimented with the act of selling out on her fourth album, CRASH, using her major record label’s A&R expertise to write the mainstream pop record she’d always been afraid to release. That album’s success, coupled with a prominent feature (“Speed Drive”) on 2023’s blockbuster Barbie soundtrack, brought Charli closer than ever to worldwide appeal. But her response was to turn back to the sounds that inspired her to make music in the first place. Her 2024 album, BRAT, is a homage to those riotous, sweaty London clubs of her youth, and an introspective—if not slightly ironic—look at her pop music journey, one riddled with head-empty euphoria (“Club classics”), dominating swagger (“Von dutch”) and sombre sentimentality (“I think about it all the time”). - Apple Music

Of course to clarify, this is for normal (non Xmas) songs for most weeks at number one etc., but Sam Fender and Olivia Dean have joined Frankie Laine in total amount of weeks at number one in the UK.

Radio 1 ignoring the fact that Rein Me In equals the all time record for weeks at number 1.
