Apple Music’s Latest Africa Rising recipient is Afro-pop Artist Khaid
Tumblr media
Apple Music today announced the latest featured artist in its Africa Rising artist development program, 18-year-old Lagos-born, Afro-pop singer-songwriter and rapper, Khaid (real name Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon). “I want to express my gratitude for choosing me as the African Rising Artist for September,” Khaid says. “I'm genuinely thrilled about this opportunity, as it holds significant meaning for both my team and me. I'm confident that you will all enjoy my upcoming EP Emotions which showcases a diverse range of beautiful music and will be released in​​ Spatial Audio.

Top 10 Songs Trending on Music Chart this week!
Tumblr media
Here Whatson editor Tama has selected the top 10 songs that are trending on the global music chart. You can listen to a mixed genre of music which can refresh your mind so, start and to your playlist. 1. Kilbil by SZA American singer-songwriter SZA's second studio album, SOS, contains the song "Kill Bill" (2022). The martial arts film duology Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), which centers on an assassin dubbed the Bride and her desire to destroy her ex-boyfriend, gave the song its title. https://youtu.be/MSRcC626prw 2. Unholy by Sam Smith and Kim Petras Sam Smith eventually made the song "Unholy," which featured Kim Petras and was already well-liked on TikTok, available for purchase. Those few seconds had 193 million views by the time the song was released on September 22nd, and they were still trending at number 2 on the top chart. https://youtu.be/Uq9gPaIzbe8 3. 'Bloody Mary' by Lady Gaga "Bloody Mary" is one of the few tracks on "Born This Way" that is definitely not meant for the dance floor. The song becomes much more melancholy when male vocals are added that repeat "Gaga" in an echoing, monk chant fashion. https://youtu.be/63zSjR_nhNI 4. Metro Boomin’s ‘Heroes & Villains’ Metro Boomin, whose star-studded Heroes & Villains collection this week earns him his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 albums list (after Not All Heroes Wear Capes from 2018 and Savage Mode II, his 2020 collaboration with 21 Savage). https://youtu.be/_WCD3Z9UmJ4 5. Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 Colombian superstar Shakira and Argentine DJ Bizarrap's "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53" was quietly released on January 11. Within 24 hours, the session had amassed over 15 million Spotify listens, placing it at the top of the service's Top 50 global playlist. In addition, the video had amassed over 55 million YouTube views, setting a record for a Spanish-language song. https://youtu.be/CocEMWdc7Ck 6. ‘Maan Meri Jaan’ by KING Modern love song Maan Meri Jaan by Indian musician KING, taken from his recently released album Champagne Talk. The song has received over 21 million audio streams since its release in October, achieving an astounding 1.1 million+ daily streaming in India alone.   https://youtu.be/VuG7ge_8I2Y 7. Besharam Rang by Shilpa Rao, Caralisa Monteiro, Vishal & Shekhar Ravjiani On social media, the freshly released "Besharam Rang" song from "Pathaan" has drawn a lot of criticism. Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone received a ton of trolls for sporting some suggestive swimwear in the song's music video. On YouTube, however, the song broke all previous records by receiving millions of likes and views. https://youtu.be/huxhqphtDrM 8. Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift What has received over 30 million views on YouTube and is filled with critical self-reflection? That's accurate. Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero," the first single and music video from her most recent album, Midnights, was released on Friday (October 21) still trending in the top ten. https://youtu.be/b1kbLwvqugk 9. Rema & Selena Gomez’s ‘Calm Down’ As the song ascends into the Official Singles Chart Top 10 for the first time, Rema's Calm Down has become the UK's No. 1 Trending Song. The Afrobeats prodigy has been a rising star for a while, but this next year could be the most thrilling of his career so far thanks to his first real breakthrough track. https://youtu.be/WcIcVapfqXw 10. Under the Influence by Chris Brown Chris Brown, an American musician, has a song called "Under the Influence." It is the third song from his ninth studio album Indigo's extended version, which was made available on October 4, 2019, by RCA Records. Together with producer Kiddominant, Tiffany Mckie, and Nigerian vocalist Davido, Brown wrote the song. Commercially, "Under the Influence" was a sleeper hit before TikTok helped it go viral in 2022. https://youtu.be/pfxyk1glEq4 Read the full article

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 30/07/2022 (Central Cee’s "Doja”, Billie Eilish)
How can the UK be LF SYSTEM-phobic? “Afraid to Feel” is at #1 for a fourth week. Welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!
Tumblr media
Rundown
Now, hopefully, this will be a quick one. There’s no “Off the Charts” section this week because there’s not much coming out this week so I figured I’d give myself the leeway with the massive stack of releases I have to cover from last week and during this next month. There’s also not THAT much going on in the charts this week, it’s like a mess of other, separate medium-sized stories rather than one or two big stories so I think I can go by my arbitrary RTC dictionary and declare this a “slow week”. With that aside, let’s start as we always do with the notable drop-outs. These are songs exiting the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40, and we do have a handful this week: “Flowers” by Lauren Spencer-Smith, “Happier Than Ever” by Billie Eilish, “she’s all i wanna be” by Tate McRae (I sense a theme there) and finally, “One Kiss” by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa.
Our one returning entry is “Wet Dream” by Wet Leg, but in terms of notable gains, we have “Words” by Alesso featuring Zara Larsson at #62 off of the debut, “Dandelions” by Ruth B. going nowhere at #60, “Big City Life” by Luude and Mattafix at #37, “SNAP” by Rosa Linn granting her the first top 40 hit of her career at #26, “Stay with Me” by Calvin Harris, Justin Timberlake, Halsey and Pharrell Williams (in some order) at #22, “Bad Habit” by Steve Lacy at #18 and that’s actually pretty much it. I should probably note that “Seventeen Going Under” by Sam Fender is down from #16 last week to #17, meaning that it is indeed 17 going under, but other than that, it really was kind of a cool week.
The top five this week consists of “Last Last” by Burna Boy at #5, “Green Green Grass” by George Ezra at #4, “As it Was” by Harry Styles at #3, “Doja” by Central Cee at #2 (we’ll get to that mess later) and of course, “Afraid to Feel” at the very top.
NEW ARRIVALS
#75 – “KU LO SA” (A COLORS SHOW) – Oxlade
Produced by ???
Now this is interesting. As far as I know, “KU LO SA” as an official recording has not actually been released, but a semi-live performance in the form of “A COLORS SHOW” – a live performance series on YouTube specialising in hip-hop and R&B, who have had artists on such as JPEGMAFIA, Rico Nasty, Doja Cat and Unknown T – has actually charted before the official release. Oxlade is a Nigerian singer and this is pretty much your typical Afrobeats single, with a slick acoustic guitar, sandy tropical percussion and a slightly weedy performance from Oxlade here, who doesn’t fit well into an odd mix that’s likely a result of the live performance setting. Oxlade delivers a pretty simple song about wanting to be closer with a recently-distanced relationship and whilst the lovey-dovey content isn’t particularly gripping, it’s delivered with as much conviction in its falsetto, and I can’t say it’s not a bad, tropical foundation for him to do so. I can see this getting on peoples’ nerves due to his performance alone, but the amount of Auto-Tuned layers kind of make his convicted love a bit more compelling than it would be if taken all that straight so I appreciate this as is. I wonder how the official release will end up sounding – it’s very possible that the label has purposefully planted this performance to gain some kind of feedback on the song, but if the “COLORS SHOW” performance is doing well, you might as well release it now.
#63 – “Under the Influence” – Chris Brown
Produced by Kiddominant
It’s that time again... Piran, Dillon and Jade suggested that instead of me wasting my time with this hack, I listen to “Something About Your Love” by SG Lewis instead. English dance producer SG Lewis has never interested me, especially not after his snoozefest that was a debut album, Times, which had some decent cuts but ultimately kind of grooveless and disposable. It’s safe to say I didn’t exactly come in with high expectations, so I was kind of taken aback by how much I liked this, thanks mostly to that incessant riff that pretty much chugs throughout the whole song, initially starting with as many filters as possible in typical French house fashion before crashing into that hypnotic four-on-the-floor beat. I could do without the vocals from SG Lewis, as he’s no Romanthony, who sounds about as void of personality as possible, whining over the instrumental which really could have survived on its own. That’s actually the opposite to the problem I had with Times so at least he’s finding new ways to squander talent. The little intricacies in this track, like all the drizzling synth cascades, are pretty effective in creating this semi-obnoxiously lovestruck tone... but whilst that might be the most euphoric feeling at that moment, it does start to drag and you’ll look back at it remembering how annoying you were. That’s kind of the vibe I get from this song: it’s decent, definitely well-made and I like it in comparison to what else I have heard from him, but I’m not really grasped by it entirely and I don’t see this five-minute track growing on me given that.
#49 – “Fantasy” – D-Block Europe
Produced by ???
Guys, is it that hard to credit your producer? They don’t even have their tag on here, for God’s sake. Either way... this is not what I expected. When I see a new song from DBE, I fully expect a badly-mixed trap beat, humorous yet weedy singing from Young Adz and a worryingly substance-dependent ramble from Dirtbike LB... not a slice of tropical-house influenced Afrobeats that... kind of works for me? Sure, that lead mess of a loop is kind of scratchy in the intro, but it’s soon drowned out by the basic pianos and the predictable groove that for whatever reason just clicks, especially with how Young Adz barely cares about being on beat when crooning. It’s also just a straight-up love song, as Mr. Adz harmonises with himself about the fantasies he has wanting to live with this woman, and to be fair to him, it’s not just pointless platitudes. He gives out the kind of detail that I like in these kinds of songs: the mundane and the routine, which contrasted with how beautiful he finds her kind of create the sense that it’s only him that finds her THAT beautiful, and she’s not just some model that he would complement on any other song. That chorus is really way too infectious for its own good, and I kind of love the watery drop as the keys twinkle over Adz. Dirtbike LB is here too, I guess, with a verse that splits the difference between cute and condescending like he’s Drake or something, but he doesn’t detract from the song so... yeah, I’m actually pretty happy with this, and I think that this out-of-genre experiment might just pay them off in the long run. I hope it sticks around.
#47 – “Are You Entertained” – Russ featuring Ed Sheeran
Produced by Fred again..
The attempts by Russ to cross the mainstream in the past few years have just been kind of funny to me, but with “BEST ON EARTH” and “Handsomer” he’s actually been mildly successful, so him bringing on Ed Sheeran is just another laugh to add to the pile of mid-level pop-rap that goes directly against Russ’ more pretentiously independent persona that I think he left behind in the late 2010s, for good reason. You know, I actually like Russ’ debut onto the UK charts a decent amount too. The song is pretty much just them flexing, with both men rapping about how they made sure to get their friends with them as they became famous. Sure, the Russell Crowe sample is kind of on-the-nose, and this kind of song has always felt defensive, but the drill-adjacent trap beat goes pretty hard with the warping 808s and skittering percussion. I do think that Russ’ flow was good in the first verse before he meanders into the melodic nonsense, and that really, he’s second in everything here to Ed Sheeran. People forget that Ed can actually rap, and whilst the subject matter isn’t anything to write home about, he flows with way more conviction and hunger than the actual rapper here, and the backing harmonies Ed has mastered as of recent are present both in his verse and the chorus which actually trades off between the two. It’s nothing all that unique, but it’s a decent enough pop-rap single, and considering that I had practically nothing good to say about Russ beforehand, consider that a compliment.
#33 – “The 30th” – Billie Eilish
Produced by FINNEAS
Billie Eilish released a two-song EP of sorts called Guitar Songs with primarily acoustic tracks that debuted in reverse order this week on the charts. The first one we have is “The 30th”, a song that details – or rather, cryptically refuses detail – an event that happened on November 30, hence the name, which is believed to refer to a car crash in LA. The song is actually pretty devastating as a result, with Eilish’s signature borderline whisper feeling more enunciated than ever as she coos about talking to someone who was hospitalised, with the uncertainty of everything that could have happened to lead to a different result wherein the victim may have not survived serving as much of the thesis for the track. The little observational details perfectly capture that frenzied mind state that one would have in an uncertain, potentially dangerous situation like this. All of those “what-ifs” develop in the bridge and make that final chorus shattering, but kind of reassuring in that the fears were ultimately just “what-ifs”, with that orchestral tension in the bridge accompanied by Eilish’s rapid questioning and the industrial bleeps curating a truly resonant moment before the acoustic guitars come back in, sounding exhausted. Eilish’s falsetto is higher and less controlled, but it’s that out-of-breath relief that makes the song hit as hard as it does. Is the other one just as good?
#23 – “TV” – Billie Eilish
Produced by FINNEAS
The answer is no. Sorry, this one might be the more conventional but is just less resonant to me, mostly because of how lacking in specifics it feels in comparison to its B-side. “TV” captures a certain sense of doom that many a young person feels right now, with the common thread being having to “leave your friends behind” because Eilish is “in love”, though I really think that’s the surface level here, as the theme of love is – at least how I see it – probably a metaphor for being generally enraptured too deep into other emotional commitments that you’re unable to actually manage your relationships with others. It makes sense given the content which I understand is topical but is basically a listicle, with some of the pop culture references feeling a bit tired and thrown in (though it’s likely they’ll be considered profound in retrospect). The folksier tone of this one doesn’t really get me as much as the other track, and this is definitely still a decent song, well-recorded and with a great performance from Eilish, but it’s a tougher sell, especially with the crowd recording that will never not feel tacky on a song like this that tries to tap into that sense of universal dread, and it’s especially odd for a song that really feels like it’s not saying much about the cultural references it wants to tie in.
#2 – “Doja” – Central Cee
Produced by LiTek and WhYJay
Do I even have to dignify this one with a review? I mean, come on, it’s a glorified shitpost by an artist who has established his credibility well enough to make it seem like this is just... something he can do, gleefully, with no concern for how it’ll be received because he has the money for a Lyrical Lemonade video and the “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” so it’ll be a worldwide hit regardless. Okay, to get some formalities out of the way, Eve’s original track featuring Gwen Stefani, which is slick and confident as hell, peaked at #4 back in 2001 when it was released, meaning that with just one week, Cee has overtaken the classic with a pretty lazy sample flip. To be fair to his producers, the sped-up loop doesn’t sound awful, and the subtle synth and vocal inflections they add are pretty decent-sounding, but there are two reasons why anyone cares about this. One is the sample being placed under a stiff UK drill beat, and the second is the main reason: whatever Central Cee is saying. This isn’t the first song this year about wanting to have sex with Doja Cat, considering that $NOT and A$AP Rocky did it a couple months ago with a song that’s just as bad – maybe these kinds of songs are always weird, gross and half-assed, who would have thought? The only logical conclusion from Central Cee’s bizarrely defensive chorus is that he’s hiding something, which is the exact opposite of what he was trying to get at here – ignoring the fact that lesbian fetishism and weapon-related wordplay has been used for years in hip hop when it comes to gay punchlines. Through the singular verse in this song that’s less than two minutes, he tops everything off with this sense of paranoia about his status as a “respected figure” which honestly is just embarrassing. I’m not offended by this – it’d be ridiculous to fall into that trap – but I feel like I can’t respond to this with anything but a sigh. It’s a tired shitpost by a rapper who doesn’t care. The fact that it could have hit #1 incriminates the public more than it does the person who created the art in the first place. At least Eve’s getting a cheque out of this.
Conclusion
Worst of the Week should be obvious, right? Central Cee gets that for “Doja”, but I don’t have a Dishonourable Mention here. Instead, we can have a tied Honourable Mention for both “Fantasy” by D-Block Europe and “Are You Entertained” by Russ and Ed Sheeran, with Best of the Week going to – apologies for the predictability – Billie Eilish for “The 30th”. Next week, we’ll see what Beyoncé has to say. Thank you for reading and I’ll see you then!
