Highway Unicorn

Life Boat has been ahead of I Know Your Hurting for the last few days now I imagine with a full week’s worth that will be RAYE’s 3rd song in the top 40 come Friday.

Pinkies Up doesn’t seem to be completely crashing or as hated by the fans as Internet Girl was. Good sign.

First Hannah song to go silver ?

He gained traction on TikTok by faking that his music was unreleased Steve Lacy demos. His sister is also the Bernie Taupin to Gracie Abrams Elton John.

Great holds all around, especially for Life Boat.

I wonder how high Midnight Sun can go, it’s been climbing on Amazon music [currently #23, was hovering around lower 30s last week, in addition to Lush Life being #1 there]. And with spring and good weather soon, feels like it could be a beneficiary of it.

The evil has been defeated.

We declared Charlie Puth should be a smaller artist.

I think you got everyone with over 20, and unless I’m missing some folk, I think these are the only active artists who could pass 20 top 40 entries within the end of the decade 19 - Becky Hill 18 - Lily Allen 16 - Adele

Not that surprising tbh. His music had been on a quality downward spiral since 2018 (many Kanye fans acknowledge that 2016's The Life of Pablo is the last good album he’s made) and the impact his other albums post 2018 have gotten is due him being one of the most monocultural artist still active, which he burned off causals after going full Nazi in 2022, even if they still listen to the older classics. Vultures 1 in 2024 was the exception purely because it was his first full projection after imploding his career in 2022.

Has the new Miley Cyrus track showed up on Apple Music yet? It’s done 92k on its partial day on Spotify which is nearly double what Doctor and every Something Beautiful track did.

lol at escapism getting the biggest boast (and potential reset?) from the new album

Any chance of a reset for Harry Styles ‘Sign of the Times’ been climbing on streaming (#76 Spotify, #70 Apple) after being used in a multiple pivotal scenes in the movie “Project Hail Mary”.

Oh, my bad.

And the prior #3 singles were fully in English too, Swim being bilingual and performing this well is really good for them. Apart from those two tracks, the also bilingual ‘Boy With Luv’ is their only other song to get a 2nd week in the top 40.

Imaging saying to someone in 2017 that Luke Combs would did up out-debuting Niall Horan on the first day.

Assuming this a dance remix of the Katy Perry song until otherwise.

Niall confirmed for Capital Scotland Breakfast show, probably locked for some playlist support.

Mostly just the internet being nostalgic for Rihanna and specifically Anti’s 10th anniversary recently.

Wondered what caused only a uk specific jump for Into the Groove and what was a gym influencer on TikTok dancing to it

Yeah I don’t think people realise how much time has passed for Little Mix to just be launching their solo careers now. At some point with most artists it’s just the passage of time and folks lose interest. It’s been 15 years since they won X Factor and 5 years since their last active year as a group. The equivalent for the Spice Girls would be if they released their debut albums between October 2011 and February 2012.

The GP adores a Gaga ballad.

How many songs from Hamilton are still to be certified?

Not quite, it’s always been popular on TikTok but the recent surge of Rihanna songs has been because it’s been the 10th anniversary of Anti recently. (Ie, the last time she released an album). Like telling someone in November 2012 that Rihanna of all people would only release one more album in the next 15 years.

Hopefully Pink giving at least one televised speech (Producer of the Year, hopefully she wins Best Dance Act too) gives it some kind of boost as well.
