Ed Sheeran's Chart-breaking Record

... You', 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' and 'Please Please Me'. This was possible because rights the Beatles' records in the US at the time were split between Capitol and a few other labels, who put out as many Beatles singles as they could to cash in on the Beatles' exploding popularity after the Fab Four appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Beatles still hold the record for the most number one US singles in a year - six, in 1964. They also hold second-place, with five chart-toppers in 1965. 50 Cent. The closest anyone came to matching the Beatles in the US was rapper 50 Cent. In 2005, he had 'Candy Shop' at number one and 'Disco Inferno' at number five; and featured on The Game's number four hit, 'How We Go'. 'Unchained Melody'. In 1955, four completely different versions of the epic balled 'Unchained Melody' occupied the UK top 20. Oasis hold the record for the longest song to hit #1 anywhere - 'All Around the World' - and are the only band with two of the longest chart-toppers, with fourth-longest 'D'You Know What I Mean'.

Saturday Night Live Review

... same goes for musical guest booking—which, let’s face it, has been the show’s most consistent strength for at least a decade now. Lorde’s stunning performances of “Green Light” and “Liability” (from her soon-to-be-released album Melodrama) were staged beautifully, executed flawlessly and perfectly scaled for the tiny 8 H stage. Lorde  may very well be remembered as the best musical performance of SNL 42 when its all said and done, but who knows? They have all been quite good this season. The Repertory Company. It’s hard to imagine any comedy stage that finds a way to build such consistently strong content with as diverse an array of talent as SNL has this season. Star Kate Mc Kinnon’s Shud the Mermaid was back this week, as well as her Jeff Sessions, two wildly bizarre characters Mc Kinnon manages to invest with both comic invention and sweetness—a tribute ...

Lorde Leaves Lasting Impression With New Single

... lyrics, (oh my god, the lyrics) are so much more personal than anything the 20-year old has ever written before. The edgy singer-songwriter has always appeared to roll her eyes at the world and laugh at those dim enough to buy into romance, but don’t be fooled; she breaks down just like the rest of us. “Greenlight” is the perfect breakup song. It’s not vengeful, but it’s filled with a confusing mess of emotions. Breakups are one of the unavoidable horrors of life on earth. No matter how confident you are, you are going to feel like you’re not good enough when somebody you love walks away. In “Greenlight” you can feel the heartbreak from miles away, but the song is set to an upbeat tempo. Lorde explains this to Beats 1, “I realized this is that drunk girl at the party dancing around crying about her ex-boyfriend who everyone thinks is a mess. That’s her tonight and tomorrow she starts to rebuild. And that’s the song for me.”. Since I’ve been at college, I have yet to encounter many girls that haven’t drunk-cried over their exes at some point. It’s ...

Lorde On 'saturday Night Live

... anticipated SNL performance, take a look at the things we're hoping to see from her. The live debut of "Green Light" (and/or "Liability"). SNL musical guests always perform two songs, and Lorde just so happens to have two new songs out. Coincidence? We'd like to think not. Plus, "Green Light" is an upbeat anthem while "Liability" is a beautiful ballad, which would allow Lorde to show both a fun and a vulnerable side during her appearance. Yeah. this should definitely happen. Another new song. If Lorde isn't going to sing the two songs she's already released, we'd love to get a glimpse of what else she has in store with her upcoming sophomore album Melodrama - especially since we still have to wait three months before the LP drops (it's due June 16). oh, and also, Melodrama has an official release date: JUNE 16. you can preorder it here __link__/Ye J 1 ae Aef A __link__/6 CEJopg Zw F. — Lorde (@lorde) March ...

Spotify Editors' Picks For March 10

... Shakira and more over the years, Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Eriksen have since signed a deal with RCA to release music entirely their own as lead artists. Recruiting Sia and Pink for their debut definitely sets their own bar high with "Waterfall" marking a new exciting chapter for the Grammy Award-winning musicians. The track features their frequent collaborator Sia and pop veteran Pink trading verses and taking turns handling the chorus over dancehall-inspired production, making for a strong offering combining the songwriting expertise the duo has spent the past decade honing with their expert knack for piecing it all together. The song's infectious quality is anything but out of character for Stargate, leaving fans eager to see what else the duo has in store for us now that they've assumed their rightful positions in the driver's seat. ...

... trio of young singers. For her second performance of the night, Lorde scaled things back for "Liability," her just-released ballad. Donning a wedding dress and sitting back-to-back on a bench with her pianist, the singer delivered a sparse, understated rendition of the track. In addition to her musical performances, Lorde also popped up in the closing seconds of SNL's "A Sketch for the Women," where Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney hijack her rendition of "Royals". In an interview with Zane Lowe, Lorde revealed that she was inspired to pen the song after hearing Rihanna's "Higher" while in a cab; the track opens with the lyric, "Baby really hurt me / Crying in a taxi.". "I had a little cry and I was just like 'It's always going to be this way, at some point with everyone it's going to be this way,'" Lorde told Lowe. "But the song kind of ended up turning into a bit of a protective talismans for me. I was like, you know what, I'm always ...

Toronto’s Rave Ban, Mexico’s Surf Scene, Juliana Hatfield On Lorde, And More

... caught throwing devil horns in an ultrasound image gets a lifetime pass to Riot Fest. Please ignore the fact the Trib keeps calling them "rock 'n' roll horns." [ Chicago Tribune ]. Bet you didn't know Mexico had a huge surf-music scene in the 90 s and 00 s. But it totally did! Always insightful "sound studies" blog Sounding Out! wrote about the phenomenon—which has since dwindled but not died—and how it helped shape Mexico's musical underground around the turn of the century. [ Sounding Out! ]. The New York Times just published another list of "25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going". For the second year running, the paper of record has bestowed upon us this kinda arbitrary but definitely intriguing list, which includes blurbs on the choices by some of its best culture critics. They're all worth a read, but my favorites include the ...

Lorde Is Almighty On 'green Light

... more of the bursting choruses and hand-clapping sounds of Antonoff’s  “We Are Young” days. Lorde’s moody, mysterious lyrics are still the crux of her power. The song refuses to be pinned down, building a mystery deeper that its titular, Gatsby-esque green light. At once, she paints a starkly real portrait of modern womanhood, opening the track with the line: “I do my makeup in somebody else’s car,” and spins a beautiful web of half-finished metaphors, bleeding talk of great white sharks (her teeth obsession is back in full force on this track) into lost love and dance floor memories. She collages sharp scenes into a tangled plot. Much like “Ribs” or “400 Lux” from Pure Heroine, the song’s melancholy isn’t instantly apparent, only showing itself on the fifth or sixth listen. Fortunately, Lorde knows we’ve ...

Expect at least a few new songs ready to go for her big return to the live performance spotlight. The evening's host will be Scarlett Johansson. A post shared by Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl) on. Feb 23, 2017 at 11:15 am PST. She's booked to play at a bunch of music festivals this summer. Coachella , Bonnaroo, and Governors Ball are just a few of the big gigs that have Lorde listed on the lineups. It would make sense for her to have a new set list by then. This is going to be a highly personal album—and one she's spent a lot of time creating. In August, Lorde responded to a frustrated fan by urging a bit of patience. "I'm an artist, I write a record when I have enough special stories to tell, and it's all me," she explained on Instagram. "I've worked like a dog for a year ...

Lorde Is At Least 40 Years Old, According To My Research

... don’t insult me. But I am admittedly biased in my determinations. I have a hypothesis, and I do in fact want to prove it. To solve this problem, I sought out a neutral party. It was time to consult Microsoft’s novelty website, __link__. First, I’d need to calibrate the results with some people whose ages I know for a fact. For instance, my colleague, Libby Watson, will be 27 in May. The robot thinks Libby is younger. I turned 27 last month. The robot thinks I, too, am slightly younger. Failed candidate for President and son Jeb Bush is 64. The robot thinks Jeb is considerably younger. Ted Cruz just turned 93. The robot is flabbergasted. In almost every case, the robot underestimates the subject’s age. In every case, it would seem, except for geriatric singer Lorde. Take Lorde in this screencap. Or this one. And most damning of all, this one. Now, if we average together ...
