So how come Lady GaGa gets away with four tracks as a lead artist? Does "Lady GaGa & Bradley Cooper" somehow count as a group or is there something I'm missing somewhere?

Alright, I’m gonna do a review tonight. But as there’s set to be no Top 40 entries, I’ll review five songs I found on Forza Horizon 4. There’s always a solution! :)

Talking of Rockstar, I really hate the song by Nickelback. The lyrics are corny and cringey and his voice just irritates me. The rocky instruments are decent though, but it’s a light 3/10 for Rockstar by Nickelback! The ones by DaBaby and Post Malone are so much better... :/

You ready for another unpopular opinion?

Metal music is a waste of time and a waste of space in music services. The ingredients for your average metal track are: a guitar so distorted that you can't hear the drums, aggressive screaming to the point my ears start to pop and the content about having it hard is very predictable. If I'm being honest, all metal music should be wiped away from streaming - except "Smoke On The Water", that song is decent.

Call rap terrible all you want, that's fine, but artists like Kendrick Lamar and sometimes Logic actually stand for something. A lot of stuff by Slipknot, Bon Jovi, Metallica, I Prevail etc. just really gets on my nerves so much. Sorry to all metal fans, but I had to clear my opinions up.

avatar

⁉️

1

As a fan of the genre, I disagree, but I can see your point. It's probably one of the least accessible genres and it's really easy to get wrong.

I like rap (it's my favourite genre), but outside of Kendrick, most mainstream stuff these days dosen't really stand for anything either, or they do it completley wrong, like Logic's 1-800-273-8255.

Can I just say that this week's No.1 "Rockstar" is Stupid. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. That's what it is, stupid. It should have been "Rain On Me" that should have held on to No.1. You guys have bad taste in music to put "Rockstar" back on No.1. What has happened to you guys? Rockstar is rubbish. I don't know what you guys are doing here if you think that listening to "Rockstar" is a pleasure. Grow up. Total rubbish that "Rain On Me" was not able to hold on to No.1 spot. You guys disappoint me.

To be honest, I don't think DaBaby should have reclaimed No.1 with his song "Rockstar" because that song and people think this song is a pleasure well they have bad taste to music. What has happened to pop music these days? It that rappers have No.1s, it is like "Why do you listen to this rubbish?". It shouldn't have been on No.1. It should have been "Stuck With You" that debuted at No.1. It could of been but people listen to rubbish instead of listening to this 100% important song due to what is going on at the moment. We needed it to be No.1 but people that were careless about this song blew it. If you are that people who didn't care about this song being on No.1 then you should start thinking if you actually have a heart and that you care about what is going on in the world and what Funds they proceeded to this song from the charity that this song was for. They really wanted this song to be No.1 worldwide, but no. It only went to No.1 in Canada, The US and New Zealand. Are you kidding me? We needed this song to be No.1 in the UK and they wanted it too. I am sorry for the people that did stream this song a lot and I applaud you for that. I just wished that this song was No.1 in the UK.

Fun facts:

- 'Rockstar' is the second single this year to return to the top twice.
- The Weeknd ends a 21-week run in the top 10.
- Lady Gaga's 'Chromatica' outsells the rest of the top 10 combined and earns the highest selling #1 album of the year, shifting 52.9K sales, which is the highest since Rod Stewart sold 71K last Christmas.
- 'Chromatica' also outsells her last three albums, 'A Star is Born Soundtrack', 'Joanne' and 'Cheek To Cheek', but fails to beat 'Artpop' by more than 12K.
- Lady Gaga's 'Free Woman' would chart at #37 if it wasn't for the three-song rule.
- Around 300 sales separate #5 and #7.
- Just 7 sales separate #14 and #15.

CHART REVIEW

Hey, Unverification here. I'll be starting chart reviews here on this account every week.

Before I get into the debuts, I'm glad to see ROCKSTAR back at Number 1, but glad Rain On Me is still pretty high as well. Also nice to see GOOBA falling quickly, really not a fan of that song or the person behind it.

That out of the way, let's get started with the first new song this week, 'I Dunno'. I'm not really the biggest fan of this. The beat is pretty nice, but it gets repetitive after a while. Tion Wayne's delivery is pretty boring on this as well. The only thing that really stands out here is Stormzy's verse, which fits really well on the beat. The whole thing is just really boring. Decent 6.

This next song is 'Sour Candy', a song that really surprised me. I went expecting really like it, seeing as the feature is from a genre that I really don't like, but I was wrong. The song is soooo catchy, and it's been stuck in my head ever since I first heard it, especially the chorus. Lady Gaga really souds nice on this track on this. The real standout here though, is the feature, BLACKPINK. They just fit so well on this beat. Speaking of the beat, it sounds really nice and compliments the artists super well. This is definitely a 10!

Another song from the same artist, 'Alice' is up next. Lady Gaga really has a really good voice here. he production is probably the best on the album., it's just so fun. The best part is definitely auto-tuned part at 1:36, it's just so satisfying. The lyrics on this one are kind of annoying, but that doesn't really matter for a song like this in my opinion. Overall, this isn't as good as Sour Candy, but still pretty good. This gets a decent 8 from me.

The last song to review is 30. I find this one really boring. It's just another grime song to me. Aitch's voice really annoys me, he just sounds so bored, especially here. I really like the beat here though, it's great to just listen to. I could 100% see this one growing on me though. For now, it's a 5/10.

As for the albums, I really like Chromatica at the top, and Kygo debuting higher than I thought he would.

Next week, I really hope Secrets and Sour Candy go higher. Also hope to see songs like This Is America and Alright get here, they really should after the tragic events recently.

SCORES (TLDR):
Tion Wayne, Dutchavelli and Stormzy - I Dunno (6/10)
Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK - Sour Candy (10/10)
Lady Gaga - Alice (8/10)
Aitch - 30 (5/10)

Just saying witch's song isn't grime its regular rap nobody is really releasing grime tracks bar stormzy anymore and even he only dies it rarely most stuff is either rap or drill like the tion wayne song

It has a decent beat, but everything else is mostly bad. I get where you are coming from though, with you loving EDM.

Talking of EDM, I recently struck gold...

Eww Rockstar back at the top and Toosie Slide rising.
Glad that Alice made the top 30 and Sour Candy made the top 20!
Not happy that In Your Eyes fell back down to its pre-remix position :(
Also Believe It needs to go so that Be Kind and Physical can re-enter the top 40!

This weeks review 05/06/20
Rockstar rebounds to the top claiming it’s third week at the top of the charts. Although I wanted rain on me to have a few more weeks at number 1 im not that annoyed as Rockstar is actually a decent song. I do want dani Freyr-think about things to climb but I doubt it will as streams its lacking compared to that of Niko B etc. Lady Gaga had a fair few of new entries on the chart this week im not a big fan of the alice which debuted at #29 but the rest are alright. Breaking me I hope can break into the top 3 next week or sometime in the future. I can see it gain popularity as it edges closer to the summer,same with I love you baby to be honest I reckon that will end up either just inside the top 10 or reach a near peak of around #15-12 Stormzy’s new song with Tion wayne -Dutchavelli I don’t mind to be honest. Not really a fan of stormzy but I don’t mind new varieties of music entering the charts every now and again. Also watermelon sugar reached a new peak of #16 I still think it deserves to be higher like around number #13 but I doubt I will now. Overall a pretty standard week with the change at the top ill give this week an 8/10

WEEKLY CHART REVIEW (05/06/2020 - 11/06/2020)

Honestly, for as much as I loved last week’s chart, it was so busy that I just wanted a cooldown week for this new one… & I guess that was the case? Yeah, the albums chart had a lot of exciting activity happening on it (which we’ll get to later), but there wasn’t really much in the way of major disruption on the singles chart.

Anyway, I’m not at all surprised that ‘Rockstar’ reclaimed the top spot looking at its streaming numbers across multiple platforms & I certainly don’t mind that either, but am I the only one who thought ‘Rain On Me’ could’ve easily snuck in another week at #1? Sales & particularly radio were dominant for it all week & Lady Gaga even released a new album, so I’m not going to lie, I thought it would hold up a little better. Never mind, we still got to see this song make history last week & as long as this gets enough airplay across all the major pop stations to give a few weeks in the Top 10, I’ll be completely happy with how it’s done!

Really though, the elephant in the room at the moment is ‘Rover’ by S1MBA ft DTG. It’s got to the point where it’s consistently strong across all formats & if it can somehow deny ACR for another week or two, I get the feeling that it might go all the way to #1 later this month! Of course, that’s positive news, because the song has been growing on me a lot lately.

Glad that ‘Breaking Me’ finally made the Top 10! I know a lot of regulars here aren’t the biggest fans of it, but I love EDM, so it’s kind of hard for me not to be pleased with this, haha. I wish the same would happen with ‘Flowers’ now though! ‘Secrets’ is finally starting to get some momentum behind it too. Oh, speaking of dance songs, even though it’s a much more chilled one, I’m loving that huge gain for ‘ily (i love you baby)’ lower down, which only cements its positions as an early summer smash! Let’s get it even higher over the next few weeks!

Moving on from that, we have ‘I Dunno’ as the highest debut of the week, also landing inside the Top 10! I actually didn’t hear this hear this at all until yesterday, but yeah, I mostly like what each of the three rappers are displaying here! Sure, Tion Wayne & Dutchavelli bring a lot of grittiness to the track & both of them can ride the rubbery (if overused) bass beat reasonably well, but it’s Stormzy’s verse that really sealed the deal for me. Not only does he tick all of those boxes too, but his fast-paced delivery & confidence just stands out & let’s be honest, he’s probably the biggest reason why this entered the chart as high as it did! My only real criticism is that the lyrics are the same bragging that you hear in almost every UK rap song rap song that charts, with the most interesting part being that Stormzy’s verse might be taking shots at Chip, but hey, at least everyone here shows that they can be competent MCs, particularly Stormzy. I’m not sure how this’ll age for me, but for now, I’ll give it a light 7/10!

Of course, the bigger story overall this week comes from Lady Gaga! Believe it or not, ‘Chromatica’ was outselling the rest of the Top 20 albums combined midway through the tracking week, but to make things even better, she even landed two debuts on the singles chart.

Starting with ‘Sour Candy’ & not only am I one of the few people here who generally enjoys a lot of K-Pop, but what also helps here is that BLACKPINK are one of my favourite female groups from the genre! They tend to be able to allow all of the members to equally show off their talent & they usually have a lot of sass too, which shows in this song. I also like how they switch between English & Korean in each line, but unfortunately, I’m not sure they’re the best fit for this kind of heavier & deeper production, nor am I sold on how well their part flows into Lady Gaga’s! Overall though, while I think there are even better tracks on ‘Chromatica’ & it’s probably not even the best recent hit that discusses split personality (looking at you ‘Sweet But Psycho’!), this is still a lot of fun & I get the feeling it’s going to be on my playlist for a while. For me, this is a light 8/10!

As for ‘Alice’, while I probably enjoy this song a little bit more than ‘Sour Candy’, that comes down a lot more to Lady Gaga herself this time round! The whole vibe of this song just feels both euphoric & nostalgic, but my favourite part is her insane power that she shows here across a wide range. It’s this kind of music of hers that I knew she was capable of, but she hadn’t released in years & while I really wish ‘Sine From Above’ with Elton John had been able to chart instead, I’ll still happily take this one! Solid 8/10.

Lastly, we’ve got ‘30’ by Aitch… annoyingly debuting six spots lower than it should have given the title, haha! Seriously though, while I’ve mostly come around on Aitch over these past few months, I can’t say I'm going to get on board with this one. I don’t deny that he’s bringing a decent amount of charisma here, but what the heck is going on with that vocal mixing?! It makes him sound so much weaker than usual, which is somehow even worsened by the faint knocks, the fuzzy underlying beat drowns almost everything else out & the alarm rings that come in completely off beat. I would talk about the content, but what’s the point in doing that when it’s the same kind of flexing we hear in almost every song from him? Yeah, I hate to say it, but coming from the same dude who brought us ‘Rain’ & ‘Buss Down’ in the past year, this is a massive disappointment. Solid 3/10!

As for the albums chart, as you might’ve already gathered, I love ‘Chromatica’ making an insanely big debut at #1! I kind of wish Kygo debuted in the Top 5 though, but I get that it can be hard to listen to his summery party beats right now when we’re all stuck in lockdown.

Looking ahead to next week, I genuinely don't know what new music could be hitting the charts! In fact, we may even see some older hits by black artists re-enter in response to the tragedy that’s been happening in America these past couple of weeks.

That’s it from me for this review. Have a good weekend & above all, stay safe! :)

Not gonna lie, 30 goes hard. Aitch brings a lot of intensity in his flow. I’m also loving Ily gaining.

Polaris > aitch20 I prefer aitch when he is just spitting rather than getting on slower hooks that's why rain worked so well with aj

It's not really Aitch I have the problem with, it's more the production... sorry, but I think it's terrible! :/
