YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!! Most excited I've been about a top 40 entry in ages, love this! Wonder if any other songs written for video games have gone top 40 (aside from Celestial)

songs tied into video games had a brief spell of popularity in 1992 (SuperMarioLand, SuperSonic & Tetris) but I'm not sure about video game score tracks!

This Justice song is cracking. Second time of hearing it and loving it.

Justice's 2nd Top 40 hit, their biggest being the seminal We Are Your Friends in 2006.

Back to back Kevin ❤️

Must admit that Justice song was a bit of a bop cheeseblock

It is indeed.

Biography

Despite an appropriately twangy stage name, Stella Lefty would seem like an unlikely presence on the country charts -- at least, before going viral in 2026 with her surprise hit "Boston." Lefty released a handful of tracks the year before (including the Tragic, Really EP) that flirted with more traditional, organic pop influences. But the singer has cited inspiration from Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and even Keith Whitley, which made the acoustic guitar-and-banjo-driven mini-breakthrough "Thinking 'Bout You" a fair evolution toward something different. After releasing another catchy country-pop tune, "Slow Dancin'" (and a moody outlier, "The Kill," from the soundtrack to Scream 7), it was the mere chorus of "Boston," inspired by a romance blossoming between trips to Nashville to work with fellow songwriters and interpolating Noah Kahan's Top Ten "Stick Season," that inspired a frenzy on social media. - Apple Music

Biography

Noah Kahan pens tender-hearted 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, LA 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. Its viral title track later took Kahan all the way to the big time (thanks, in part, to an Olivia Rodrigo cover in 2023) and he went on to reimagine several Stick Season cuts—including a version of “Dial Drunk” featuring rapper Post Malone—that reflect a gift for shaping folk and pop into increasingly novel expressions. Kahan might have been a changed man after Stick Season, but on 2026 follow-up The Great Divide, he got back to doing what he does best: penning small-town stories with searing honesty that root themselves in your head and heart. “Stick Season is like doing shrooms and thinking you understand the entire world,” he told Apple Music. “The Great Divide is like three months later: ‘That was great and that was helpful but there’s a lot more we gotta figure out still.’” - Apple Music

Biography

After winning Album of the Year at the Grammys for 2022’s Harry’s House and securing the year’s best-selling single in “As It Was”, Harry Styles could do just about whatever he liked. He chose to take up long-distance running in Italy and hit the clubs in Berlin, where he discovered a font of liberation that would power his 2026 follow-up, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.. “I remember going out for the first time in Berlin and standing in the middle of the dance floor,” Styles told Apple Music, “and feeling so unbelievably free and safe that I just had my hands in the air and my eyes closed, and I just felt these tears streaming down my face. And it was this moment of, like, ‘I feel so alive right now.’” His post-One Direction career has been defined by just such spontaneity, making him one of the more interesting and adventurous pop stars of his era. Born in Redditch, Worcestershire, England in 1994, Styles made his solo debut with 2017’s “Sign of the Times”—a deeply felt piano ballad that slowly but surely took flight—and a sturdy self-titled first album. Then he handily reinvented himself on 2019’s Fine Line, a more daring pop statement that could comfortably accommodate the breezy radio catnip of “Watermelon Sugar” alongside quirkier forays into era-hopping funk and soul. Harry’s House felt even more personal and idiosyncratic again, often playing like his own private dance party. Which brings us back to his Berlin sojourn and Kiss All the Time..., an album offsetting its more upbeat percolations with equally rhythmic yet fairly subtle turns. It leans into creative catharsis rather than commercial calculation, which makes sense given the international reset and early-thirties career re-evaluation that preceded it. “The key thing was, while I was away from it all, I missed it,” he told Apple Music. “I missed it because I love it, and I still love it.” - Apple Music
