Here we are once again, you know how this blog works by now. Let’s get started with the Top 10 artists of March 2017…

ARTISTS

#1 Ed Sheeran – 206 plays

#2 Goldfrapp – 117 plays

#3 Måns Zelmerlöw – 94 plays

#4 Zara Larsson – 83 plays

#5 Steps – 82 plays

#6 Demy – 80 plays

#7 Bruno Mars – 64 plays

#8 Cher – 62 plays

#9 Aaron Carter – 58 plays

#10 Little Big Town – 57 plays

So Mr. Ed Sheeran, you are unstoppable. He has been played so many times already this year already (425 times to be precise) and this month is no exception, totalling 206 plays in last month alone. I would imagine this would be down to the fact that he released his third studio album “÷” this month, but I could be wrong. Will that album also be my #1?

In the Top 10 this month we also see Goldfrapp, who I saw perform live a couple of weeks ago in Oxford. They were fantastic and only yesterday (31st March) their new album was finally released. I would imagine at time of publishing that I have not been able to check out the album fully due to work and other commitments but on my time off next week I fully intend to listen to the album and give my thoughts, don’t forget to look out for my review over on talkaboutpopmusic.com.

Måns Zelmerlöw is still in my Top 10 and I cannot wait to see him perform live later this month in London. Zara Larsson is my #4 most played artist last month after the release of her second album “So Good”. Also in the Top 10 there is Bruno Mars, Demy, Cher, Aaron Carter and Little Big Town.

Finally, I just want to welcome back the pop group Steps who are my #5 most played artist last month. They are back after a 5-year hiatus and have brand new material which is being released later this month as well. Not only that, they will be going on tour (along with the Vengaboys) in November and December and I am so happy as me and my friend will be going to see them at The O2 on the 24th November. I saw them at The O2 back in 2012 as well but this time around we have much better seats, I am so excited!

ALBUMS

#1 Ed Sheeran – ÷ – 197 plays

#2 Måns Zelmerlöw – Chameleon – 89 plays

#3 Zara Larsson – So Good – 76 plays

#4 Aaron Carter – LØVË – 57 plays

#5 Little Big Town – The Breaker – 53 plays

#6 Bruno Mars – Unorthodox Jukebox – 49 plays

#7 Borgeous – 13 – 45 plays

#8 Adele – 25 – 44 plays

#9 Elbow – Little Fictions – 43 plays

#10 MUNA – About U – 42 plays

So yeah, no surprise there really but Ed Sheeran’s third studio album “÷” is my most played album for the second month on the trot, will he make it to the top for a third month? The album is fantastic and I am well and truly an Ed Sheeran fan now. I can’t stop playing the album and it has so many car friendly songs, songs which you can put on in the car and easily sing along to.

New entries in the Top 10 this month come from Zara Larsson with her second album “So Good”, Aaron Carter with his EP “LØVË” (which is brilliant by the way!), Little Big Town with “The Breaker”, Borgeous with “13” and weirdly Bruno Mars with his 2012 album “Unorthodox Jukebox”. I really have no idea why this album has had so many plays this month, I think I must have left it on repeat or something whilst going to sleep, but hey it’s a great album and even though it’s old, it is still worth listening to.

Adele is still racking in a ton of plays, even after 16 months since the album “25” was released. It’s one of those albums you can listen to when you want to mellow out or belt your voice out to, it’s great for every occasion really.

Don’t forget you can check out all of these albums on Apple Music or Spotify.

TRACKS

Let’s have a countdown of March’s biggest tracks, it was fiercely competitive last month and there are many Eurovision related songs knocking about so here we go…

#10 SVALA – Paper – 38 plays

SVALA is the Icelandic representative at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Ukraine. I have been listening to this track non-stop and I hope that it will bring Iceland their best result in years. We shall see.

#9 Lucie Jones – Never Give Up On You – 38 plays

Lucie Jones is back in the Top 10 this month, with a revamped version of the song “Never Give Up On You”, which is representing us, the United Kingdom in the Eurovision contest this year. I actually think this is going to do well for us.

#8 Lana Del Rey – Love – 39 plays

Still in the Top 10 this month is Lana Del Rey with her fantastic song ‘Love” which I can’t get enough of.

#7 Katy Perry – Chained To The Rhythm – 40 plays

Down from last week’s #1 is Katy Perry with her big new single “Chained To The Rhythm”, and yes the video is really that mad. Go check it out.

#6 Steps – Scared Of The Dark – 41 plays

The video hasn’t been released for this one yet but I am absolutely loving this comeback song from Steps. The song even managed to get to #1 in the download charts but unfortunately only peaked at #37 in the official combined UK chart, mainly down to streaming. Hey Ho, I love the song and cannot wait for the new album and the video (which is due to be released soon).

#5 Ilinca (feat Alex Florea) – Yodel It! – 42 plays

Addictive earworm alert, this song will be stuck in your head all day. This is, of course, the Romanian entry for Eurovision this year and it features cheesy lyrics about coffee and also some yodelling. You have to hear it to believe it, trust me. All aboard the yodel train!

#4 Robin Bengtsson – I Can’t Go On – 43 plays

The winner of this year’s Melodifestivalen and Sweden’s representative at Eurovision. This was my second favourite in the Swedish contest this year and wanted it to win out of all of the entries in the final (more on that later). He is so gorgeous, don’t you think? Don’t forget you can watch the full videos by clicking the photos.

#3 Demy – This Is Love – 44 plays

Demy, who is representing Greece at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest has had a ton of plays for this catchy song. I really hope it does well for Greece after not qualifying to the final last year.

#2 Loreen – Statements – 46 plays

Climbing one place to this month’s #2, is “Statements” by Loreen. The song, which in my opinion, should have won Sweden’s Melodifestivalen contest. However, the song was knocked out in the Andra Chansen final, criminally if you ask me. This would probably have been a Eurovision winner had it been selected.

#1 Blanche – City Lights – 54 plays

So here we are then, #1 most played track of March 2017. This is the Belgian entry for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest and I do think that possibly, just possibly, we may have found a winner here. I absolutely adore this song and love how it sounds so contemporary and a song that wouldn’t sound out of place on today’s radio. There is still time for the song to blow up big though, and I expect after the big performance in May this song may do well in our charts over here. Have a listen and see what you think for yourselves.

Thanks for reading, join me next month for more.

Music of the Month: March 2017 Here we are once again, you know how this blog works by now. Let's get started with the Top 10 artists of March 2017...

My Melfest Rankings Or Discourse Or Whatever

this goes in order from least liked to most liked, also i can’t do cuts from my phone so this is gonna be long and i’m sorry — Road Trip – Ok. While it would be nice to see Sweden either sing in Swedish or send a novelty act…I don’t want it to be this one. It’s annoying and the live vocals aren’t great, and the car gimmick fails to draw me in. Also, why is this “DJ Hunk” just standing there? This overall confuses me and is one of the Melfest entries I can’t stand.

Vart Har Du Vart – I can see why this placed last. It’s nice that Sweden is trying something new, but this genre is not one I enjoy. That, plus Allyawan’s somewhat questionable live vocals, adds up to a not-nice rank both for me and in Melfest.

Du Får Inte Ӓndra På Mig – It’s certainly a sweet song, and they’re perfectly fine singers. But to be honest? This is dated and boring, and would have given Sweden its second non-qualifier.

Mitt Liv – It’s a perfectly good song, but with the contest already dominated by female ballads, this is the last thing Sweden wants to send (except maybe De Vet Du). It doesn’t have much build, either, and while I’m sure this would have done great in earlier Eurovisions, it simply doesn’t have the staying power to succeed in 2017. I appreciate the sparkly guitar though.

Boogieman Blues –I would love for this to go to Eurovision purely for the meme value. And while I love this kind of retro music and Owe seems like a cool dude, it seems a little off. I don’t know if something went wrong or what in the performance but it just didn’t seem to make a ton of sense.

I Don’t Give A – I have three main critiques about this one. First, what is she wearing? Second, seeing her face projected behind her is a little unnerving. Third, and most critically, the verse and the chorus sound like two different songs. I can tell why this got Andra Chansen - I think that Lisa is a very good vocalist and a good performer who is very likely to win Melfest in the near future but I strongly doubt this is her year. This is not a good song for her.

Amare – Oh Adrijana. What is a little Albanian girl doing singing in Swedish? I love her ballerinas and her stage presence - she’s really having a good time there - but this isn’t really a good… song. This sounds like something that my choir friends would listen to. That isn’t necessarily bad but it’s honestly not for me. I’d love to see Adrijana return with a different song, maybe one that sits a little higher in her range.

Good Lovin’ – Disclaimer: I had to watch the music video for this one and not the live performance. Like many of the finalists, this sounds almost like something I’d hear on the radio or at an acapella party. This kind of music is no fun at Eurovision. Not quite sure how I feel about the song itself. I feel like I expected a bit more and it didn’t give what I thought I’d get. (Edit: it’s also not memorable AT ALL. I can’t for the life of me remember even the chorus.)

Gotta Thing About You – I’m not quite sure why I hate this so much. Decent vocals and very good dancing…I should like it, right? Maybe it’s lyrics like “you make me wanna wag my tail” and “you got the goods I’ll be getting” that puts me off. Maybe it’s the genre. I don’t know. (Edit: this has kind of grown on me, but I still don’t like it very much.)

I Can’t Go On – Generic, radio friendly pop song. Nothing really special about this. I don’t think I like his whole singing backstage thing. Seems a little like trying too hard… but it went direkt til final so I guess it worked. Also, Robin comes across as kind of douchey to me.

Bound To Fall – Sheppard meets The Lumineers. It doesn’t quite work but this is something I’d want in my iTunes library nonetheless.

One More Night – It sounds like someone spliced Amanecer with To The Sky. It sounds nice though. I think one thing that didn’t really work in Dinah’s favor is that she kind of gives me a cool mom vibe? Which is great, but it doesn’t work for her as a performer right now, and makes this youthful pop song and especially the rapping seem kind of off. She seems a little too old for her own music if that makes any sense.

Hearts Align – I would have liked this song about two years ago. While the chorus is still pretty good, it’s not a standout and I’m pretty sure this won’t come out of Andra Chansen.

Up – One of the genres I wouldn’t ever think of competing in Melfest. Not the best vocals but a fun song itself. The roller skates were an unexpectedly nice touch.

Statements – First thing: love love love the dancing. The running bit in the second verse was a bit weird but beyond that the staging was my favorite part of the song. You really felt like you were in the world, you know? That having been said, I think there was a little too much going on in this song instrumentally. There are weird, random noises that take away from the song and honestly? I can see why this got Andra Chansen. Were it any other singer singing it, it wouldn’t have qualified. Loreen is an astounding vocalists but I think her fame is what really carried her through.

Kiss You Goodbye – Someone called this the Swedish answer to Shawn Mendes? I would agree, I think. I feel bad that he’s facing Loreen in Andra Chansen - against, say, FO&O or De Vet Du he’d definitely make it to the final. As it is, he has particularly low odds to win because he has the most difficult Andra Chansen duel. Poor man. Deserves better. I like his song. (Post-AC edit: I TOTALLY WASNT EXPECTING THAT. YOU GO ANTON HAGMAN)

Snurra Min Jord – Krista looks so great in that outfit and of course I remember her delightfully trashy number from 2013. She’s just an amazing performer. I love everything about this… except for the kaleidoscope effect, which REALLY puts me off the song. The song is a little too electro for my taste but overall I do like it a lot.

Himmel Och Hav – I unironically love this. As a musician, this is one of my favorite compositions in Melfest. It sounds epic - and this, I think, is his downfall, because it doesn’t sound like a Eurovision song, it sounds like it should be in a fantasy movie. I am also a little confused as to what he is wearing. I don’t think it’s traditional Sami, although I know Roger is part Sami, so that would be an explanation, but it sort of looks like China and Scandinavia got drunk and had a baby.

Gravity – She has a great voice, great presence, I love the red. I can’t find much fault with this beyond that the other songs are just better. One of the debutants I’d love to see return.

Running With Lions – Gosh I love her. She has to come back, ok??? Ok??? Her voice isn’t really my favorite ever but she is a good singer - just not to my taste. She seems super cute and if she ever wins Melfest you can catch me making a fanstagram.

När Ingen Ser – I’m not sure why everyone hates this - likely because it’s what knocked Alice out of the running, which I don’t think is super fair. This is pretty good. I’m especially impressed by the dancing. Another reason I like this so much is because Axel is one of those debutants who looks like he’s just having the time of his life up there, like Adrijana. I hope this beats Lisa Ajax in Andra Chansen. (Post-AC edit: i am SO SALTY that this didn’t qualify!!! He deserves the final way more than Lisa Snakejax. Peppapönk got treated to a whole rant earlier today.)

A Million Years – Another song where I couldn’t find the performance (odd, because I found Owe’s just fine), but I know this is the one where the dancers are kind of hanging from the ceiling. She has a good, very pure voice but the song is a little underwhelming. Nevertheless it’s well done and doesn’t sound too mainstream for Eurovision as is the problem with many Melfest entries.

Wild Child – I just love this woman. She emulates sass and her song this year is, characteristically, anthemic. Unlike with Dinah Nah, I have no trouble believing this song is the right song for her. I have no idea whether she’d do well or fail in Kiev because this song is just so unlike what you usually hear. I’m curious to see how the international audience would respond to this and I’d love to see her go to ESC soon.

As I Lay Me Down – WIKTORIA! She’s such a good performer and I love her style. My only thing with her is her voice. While she has energy and power, and is technically accurate, her voice is pushy and shouty and overall too aggressive for my taste. But she’s amazing enough at everything else that I sort of give her a pass for that.

En Värld Full Av Strider – This song sounds epic if you only listen to the chorus. There isn’t a real verse, or at least not so far as I can tell. Another one of those songs that sounds like it ought to be in a movie soundtrack.

Crucified – I love this. I made a vow to love Bella and Filippa when the artists were first revealed and they had the lowest odds…and they did NOT disappoint. Chorus is kinda repetitive and I honestly expected more harmonies but I love this shit. They are my precious children. Even though they’re like a year older than me. They’re still my daughters.

Her Kiss – Ok, what is it with me and ex-footballers? First Axel and now Boris, and I love them both. This song is just SO catchy, I love his voice, and I’m loving the performance too. I know this isn’t his year to win but I’m going to hope for it anyway.

Hold On – Yes, look at me being basic with my fave once again. But of the main contenders - Ace, Mariette, Wiktoria, and this - I definitely like Nano the best. His vocals are better than Ace’s or Wiktoria’s, at least in the studio version. And I connect to it, you know? In my head I connect the lyrics to anxiety and stuff so that makes me like it more.

So Loreen is competing in the Swedish national competition for Eurovision this year with “statements” and I dont really know how to feel about it. First time I saw it I was really disappointed, I mean the song is not bad it just isnt Euphoria.

Some of the major things I’ve pondered about and where I think most of my criticism lies:

1. the kid’s dancing is clearly inspired by Maddie Ziegler, the girl from Zia’s videos.

2. I know it is part of Loreen’s persona to mumble when she sings, but it makes it really difficult to get the message across in this particular performance. I actually had no idea what she was singing about apart from ‘we dont need no statements’ first time I heard it. Please pronounce the words a little more Loreen!

3. The performance is filled with a lot of political references, but unless you know them it makes no sense. I wish there were some visual projections or something in the background to illustrate the point better.

4. It really bothered me for some reason that the camera work was so static.

5. The old woman at the end kind of looks like Snape lol.

I know it isn't perhaps a Eurovision winner, where 3 minutes, squeezed in between some obscure eastern European ballads, are all you have to conquer Europe. That said, and despite all its shortcomings and more than obvious flaws, it does make me intrigued to watch it again, even if just to try and understand it better.

Η Loreen κυκλοφορεί τα “Statements” Hounded & Furrer Remix – Ακούστε τα εδώ!

Μπορεί να μην κατάφερε να προκριθεί στον τελικό του Melodifestivalen και κατ’ επέκταση να μην εκπροσωπήσει για άλλη μια φορά την Σουηδία στον φετινό διαγωνισμό της Eurovision με το τραγούδι “Statements”, ωστόσο η Loreen δεν πτοήθηκε. Η 33χρονη τραγουδίστρια συνέχισε την προώθηση του κομματιού κυκλοφορώντας ένα πολύ δυνατό lyric video, αλλά και με διάφορες εμφανίσεις σε εκπομπές, όπου και το…

Brand new logo alert! MOTM (Music of the Month) is, of course, my serial blog published every 1st of the month to look back on the going-on music wise in the last month. So, you ready? Let’s go…

What a fantastic month in music it has been, there have been so many new releases that it has been hard to keep up. I have been listening to many new tracks, some of international superstars, newcomers and some from the biggest music event of February/March – Melodifestivalen. More on that later, though. For now, let’s take a look at the Top 10 most played artists of February 2017…

#1 Katy Perry – 140 plays

#2 Lady Gaga – 131 plays

#3 Goldfrapp – 111 plays

#4 Ed Sheeran – 97 plays

#5 Joseph – 81 plays

#6 Tkay Maidza – 64 plays

#7 Britney Spears – 59 plays

#8 Måns Zelmerlöw – 57 plays

#9 White Lies – 56 plays

#10 Cher – 55 plays

Katy Perry has come back with a bang this month with her brand new single “Chained To The Rhythm”, taken from her as-yet-untitled upcoming fourth studio album. The song is an ear-worm and I cannot stop listening to it, and it has also got me on board the hype train to listen to all of her back catalogue too. I am so excited to hear her new material, coming soon.

Also in the Top 10 this month we see Lady Gaga who gave her all at the Super Bowl earlier in the month, putting on a fantastic show. Goldfrapp and Ed Sheeran are hanging around too, with their new albums due to be released this month (March). Joseph, are back at #5 this month, I got to see them live at the Union Chapel in Islington earlier this month and they are such a great live act to see, make sure they are on your bucket list. We also see Cher fall from last month’s #1 to #10 and see debuts in the chart from Tkay Maidza and White Lies.

Now it’s time for the albums…

#1 Ed Sheeran – ÷ – 70 plays

#2 Tkay Maidza – TKAY – 64 plays

#3 Elbow – Little Fictions – 54 plays

#4 Joseph – I’m Alone, No You’re Not – 53 plays

#5 The Weeknd – Starboy – 53 plays

#6 MUNA – About U – 52 plays

#7 Måns Zelmerlöw – Chameleon – 51 plays

#8 Ryan Adams – Prisoner – 43 plays

#9 Beyoncé – Lemonade – 42 plays

#10 Andra Day – Cheers To The Fall – 39 plays

So climbing up to #1 this past month is the third studio album by Ed Sheeran. The interesting thing here is that it had exactly the same amount of plays as last month (January – 70 plays) and yet climbs from #2 to #1 this month. How weird, eh? Also, the album isn’t officially released yet and to date, there have only been three songs released from the album, but those three songs are fantastic and have gathered a total of 140 plays this year already. I can definitely see Ed Sheeran being one of my most played artists and albums at the end of the year, such great music.

In the chart this month as well we see Tkay Maidza go to #2 with her debut album “TKAY” which is worth checking out if you can, also the new album by Elbow “Little Fictions” has been gaining a lot of plays since it was released back in early February. Other debuts include Ryan Adams with “Prisoner” and “About U” by electronica band MUNA. Andra Day has also received a lot of plays this month, however, the album “Cheers To The Fall” was released all the way back in 2015. I am so excited for her new album as well, which is expected to drop sometime this year.

It is also worth noting that Queen Bee herself, Beyoncé, has re-entered the Top 10 this month as well. Since performing at the Grammy Awards, I have been listening to a lot of tracks from it as well. It didn’t win Record of the Year at the awards but the speech Adele gave when she won the title was really lovely, and basically said Beyoncé should have gone home with the trophy.

So here it is then, the Top 10 most played tracks of February 2017. Be warned, there is a lot of good music on this list…

#1 Katy Perry – Chained To The Rhythm – 57 plays

#2 Ed Sheeran – Shape Of You – 44 plays

#3 Loreen – Statements – 40 plays

#4 Goldfrapp – Anymore – 35 plays

#5 Dinah Nah – One More Night – 34 plays

#6 Train – Play That Song – 33 plays

#7 Kerli – Spirit Animal – 29 plays

#8 AlmA – Requiem – 28 plays

#9 Lana Del Rey – Love – 28 plays

#10 The Vamps – All Night – 27 plays

So there you have it, Katy Perry has rocked the chart this past month and her new song goes straight in at #1 with a solid 57 plays. The song is so catchy and once you hear it, you will be singing it all day. She has also performed the song at both the Grammy awards and the Brit awards last month.

Elsewhere in the Top 10, there is a ton of Eurovision vying songs that are competing in National Finals throughout the continent. Melodifestivalen, which is the Swedish National Final and is even bigger than Eurovision itself in Sweden, has produced some fantastic songs this year. At #3 is Loreen (who won Eurovision in 2012 with “Euphoria”) is back with the song “Statements” and I am loving it. The song was only released on the 26th February and in two days (!!) it has had 40 plays alone. Dinah Nah is also in Melodifestivalen this year but was eliminated in the first semi-final, although painfully so as the song is great. Kerli is from the Estonian selection and is hoping to represent Estonia with her song “Spirit Animal” this year, I really hope that it wins. AlmA is the French representative this year and has already been picked by the French broadcaster to represent them in Kyiv. On a semi-Eurovision related note, The Vamps performed at the UK National Final last month and since then I have been loving the song “All Night” which is at #10 this month.

Lana Del Rey has also returned with a fantastic song called “Love”, which I can also see sticking around for next month (it was only released last week). Ed Sheeran’s “Castle On The Hill” has fallen out of the Top 10 completely this week but his other hit song “Shape Of You” has climbed up to #2 this month, probably with the help of his performances at both the Grammy and Brit awards too.
