This Week In Music 2/5/17

Welcome all to the second edition of this week in music!

Charts-

Marian Hill has gained streams after being featured in a commercial for Apple AirPods. Their song Down was playing on the commercial. It is currently the number 8 downloaded song on iTunes. It's nice to see music in the electronic genre getting noticed.

Maroon 5 has found its way to the top of the at40 with Kendrick Lamar and Don't Wanna Know. Maroon 5 is not showing any signs of slowing down it's music, going to a more mainstream sound. I wonder if a new album is expected anytime soon.

Bad and Boujee and Shape Of You refuse to let go holding on to the 1 and 2 spots, respectively, on the billboard hot 100. Luke Bryan - Fast is the highest entrant at #81.

Album releases-

Big Sean dropped I Decided on Friday, a long awaited follow up to his 2015 album, Dark Sky Paradise. It has features like Jhene Aiko, Migos, and Eminem. In broadway news, the soundtrack for Dear Evan Hansen was also released.

Song releases-

Imagine Dragons are back with their new song Believer. Rising country star Sam Hunt also came back with Body Like A Back Road. Yet another comeback from Zac Brown Band releasing My Old Man. Ariana Grande and John Legend collaborated for the lead song off of Beauty and the Beast, titled the movie.

From The Author- 

What do you guys think is gonna happen on the super bowl? Is Lady Gaga really gonna perform on the roof? She has brought it before, and it should be no different for the super bowl. 

I am a huge Big Sean fan and have been listening to his album nonstop since it came out. My personal favorite song on the album is Moves. What about the rest of you?

That's all for this week folks!!

This Week In Music: 1/28/17

Hello everyone and welcome to this week in music!

Charts-

Julia Michales is gaining ground with her debut single, Issues. The very influential songwriter has worked with everyone from Demi Lovato to Fifth Harmony, and she finally decided to test her vocals in a song that's gotten mixed reviews.

Ariana Scored a #1 with Side to Sidd ft. Nicki Minaj on the at40 this week. Let's see how long it can hold.

On the billboard side of things, Atlanta rap trio Migos scored there first number one With Bad and Boujee ft. Lil Uzi Vert. As someone who has followed Migos since 2014, this has been a very long journey for them and they finally hit the top spot. Ed Sheeran, however, fell out of the top spot. Shape Of You almost instantly became a hit, and it was overtaken by Migos this week.

In terms of ITunes, Zayn/Taylor Swift - I Dont Wanna Live Forever is now at the top of the charts.
Album Releases-

Obviously the biggest release of the week was Culture from Migos. Currently number one on iTunes. We also had Train releasing a girl a bottle a boat. The rising Kehlani came out with SweetSexySavage. Kenny Chesney released his new album, The Devil Don't Sleep.

Song releases-

Major Lazer had the headliner of song releases, with Run Up ft. PARTYNEXTDOOR and Nicki Minaj. The other notable release was Martin Garrix/Dua Lipa - Scared To Be Lonely.

From the author-

So I fell in love with Sage The Gemini - Now and Later this week. It's weirdly amazing, and it's a candy song, who doesn't love candy? Sage is very clever with his lyrics and has a nice voice for rapping. It also has a nice meaning, which it's pretty much a love song. Probably my number one listen for this week.

I know he gets a lot of hate, but Lil Yachty is different. He has a different style of rap that he brings. It's a lot more upbeat and his voice is unlike anything we've heard before. It's almost like Eminem in how different it is.

Well that wraps up the first edition of this week in music. Comment if you have any suggestions!
