Jimin's article written by a fan...

On March 24, Jimin released “Like Crazy” (with no features). "Like Crazy" didn't need a feature.

Outside of his work with BTS, Jimin’s highest-charting Hot 100 hit as a solo artist was “Set Me Free pt. 2,” his own song, at number 30.

There were a lot of noteworthy new songs coming out the Friday “Like Crazy” was released, including “Eyes Closed” by Ed Sheeran, “Spice Marley” by Spice and “Don't Play With It Remix” by Lola Brooke ft. Latto and Yung Miami. Not only that, but songs like “Flowers” (Miley Cyrus), “Last Night” (Morgan Wallen), “Kill Bill” (Sza) and “Die For You” (The Weeknd and Ariana Grande) continued to dominate streaming charts. With all that in mind, let’s take a closer look at how “Like Crazy” performed in its first week. The chart data for the seven days following March 24 was reflected in the Billboard chart dated April 04.

According to Billboard, “FACE” and "Like Crazy" massed 10 million streams and sold 234,000 units on the week of its release. According to Oricon, "FACE" recorded 222,120 sales on the first day, making it the 3rd album with the biggest first day sales. Jimin earned the BIGGEST First Week sales for a Korean album by a Korean Soloist in Oricon History. Immediately after its release on March 24, Jimin’s album made Hanteo history by being the first to surpass 1 million first-day sales of an album by a Korean soloist, despite the unclear issues that arose that day and the sales that were deleted. Even though the cd single of "Like Crazy" has not been restocked after 4 months, the sales it pulled from full album sales and digital sales were impressive. Although most were not counted after week 2 because fans were not informed of the rule changes Billboard had made to its chart. By the end of the first week, the song had been streamed nearly 22 million times and sold 234,000 album equivalent units in the US. With those 234,000 sales—the second highest of any song for the week—thrown on top of all its streaming figures, “Like Crazy” climbed to the top spot on the Hot 100. 

The song’s performance on the charts is noteworthy, but what is particularly impressive is its extensive streaming numbers, especially worldwide. On Spotify, “Like Crazy ” swiftly rose to number one on Worldwide iTunes Chart, Worldwide iTunes Song, European iTunes, and Japan's Line Music. "Like Crazy" also topped Spotify’s Daily Top Global Songs chart and Jimin was the first Korean soloist to do so. "Like Crazy (English Version)” also debuted at no. 2 on the daily Global Top Songs chart with 6.6 million streams. Out of the 7 tracks, 6 of them took up the top 6 positions on the Oricon Daily Digital Ranking, showing how much the album had been anticipated. The album also dominated the Worldwide Apple Music Album Chart and all songs were top sellers in Digital Music New Release, Digital Music Best Seller, International New Release, and International Best Seller in Amazon Music USA. According to Melon, "Like Crazy" in its first day, peaked at #8 and maintained the position in the chart. After 24 hours, "Like Crazy" obtained almost 3 million streams on Melon. Even after months have passed by, the song continues to be streamed over 2.5 million times every day. So far, the song has been no.1 in 111 countries, setting the record for the most no.1 on iTunes in 2023.

It's pointless to compare "Like Crazy" to other Western Songs or Korean song because there is nothing like "Like Crazy". It is one of a kind.

The song is written in Korean and there is also an English version that should be combined but hasn't been despite other artists having theirs combined, this marks an even more historic debut for an Asian artist, and the fact that it had only 0.6m of radio airplay is reflecting that significance. A sultry club synth pop song was the last thing I was expecting among solo discographies of BTS members. But the fact that this song has become one of the biggest K-pop hits is beyong exciting. As K-pop continues to explore new themes and approaches, the bold move of “Like Crazy” and its early and ongoing success may serve as inspiration for the next generation of K-pop artists, even his own company, to take similar courageous steps.

Ice Spice remix stamps Cash Cobain's "Fisherrr" as the Song of the Summer

The newly-minted Billboard Rookie of the Month, and multi-hyphenate NYC star, Cash Cobain has just linked up with Ice Spice for the long-awaited video remix for "Fisherrr" (feat. BaySwag) [18m+ Streams]. After bubbling the past few years with R-rated anthems over his own ethereal production – creating the playful "sexy drill" sound that he's pioneered and taken to mainstream heights, Cash Cobain is stamping himself as a serious song of the summer contender with this remix. Following up his two smash singles "Dunk Contest" (8m+) and "Fisherrr" (pronounced, 'for sure), Cash is primed for his moment in the spotlight ––  hitting 1M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, having occupied the #1 + #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts, hitting #45 on the Urban Radio Charts and counting, and now landing Ice Spice's third feature ever  –– in the words of COMPLEX, "the summer of 2024 is looking very slizzy". On the highly-anticipated remix, Ice Spice is simply in top-tier shape. Adding her signature magnetic 'it-girl' flair, charming cadence, and instantly-coinable one-liners, she bolsters the lightning-hot single into astronomical territory with the opening lines –– "Got an attitude but I'm feelingless, so I ain't mad at you, And I'm tatted too on this fatty-tude, I'm the baddest boo". The long-overdue collab from the two Bronx natives is seamless, with her being a tailor-fit alongside the ethereal, dreamy production and silky smooth verses from Bay Swag and Cash. With the recent releases of "Dunk Contest" (watch Genius 'Open Mic')  and now the Ice Spice-assisted remix for "Fisherrr" (feat. BaySwag), Cash Cobain is using his collaborative momentum from last year to continue elevating his signature sound, showcasing its influential and ever-growing widespread appeal in the process. In the words of Cash: 

“It’s a beautiful record. It feels amazing, it feels like NYC is back stronger than ever with me and Spice -– two Bronx legends. Get ready for the song of the summer.” 

Last month, Cash took over NYC with his birthday show, 'Slizzyfest' at Irving Plaza –– a night that was slated as a stacked lineup of NY's finest, with rumors of an A-list superstar surprise set. After chatter spread online and the hype reached a fever pitch, the crowd became too much to handle and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cash wanted to give the fans their money's worth so he ventured into Union Square and threw a makeshift show with his crew, a Bluetooth speaker, and hundreds of adoring fans (read 'I Went to Cash Cobain’s Slizzyfest and All I Got Was That Classic NYC Feeling' via Rolling Stone + statement in Billboard). Also in Billboard, Cash recently teased potential collaborations with Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Don Toliver (seen filming a music video here), Lil Yachty and more –– a surefire sign of the worldwide stardom soon to come.

These recent releases arrive on the heels of a career-defining year in 2023 that closed with the production of PinkPantheress' "Nice To Meet You" (feat. Central Cee), which debuted at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 (he alsostarred alongside her in a nationally-syndicated Apple commercial for the new MacBook). This was preceded by producing Drake's"Calling For You" (feat. 21 Savage), which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ'ing at Travis Scott's Cactus Jack x Audemars Piguet event, and releasing his critically-acclaimed debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy with Giant Music.

Happy 79th Birthday to Scottish singer/songwriter Graham Lyle,  born March 11th 1944 in Belshill. 

There’s nothing I can find about Lyle’s early life, but he  is best known for  collaboration with fellow Scot Benny Gallagher.

Graham and Benny first teamed up in 1959 as members of a local The Bluefrets, and teamed up again in a band based in Saltcoats called the Tulsans.   The Tulsans released two singles in 1965 under the name James Galt these rare tracks are now prized by Northern Soul Collectors.

So after doing their apprenticeship around Ayrshire and Glasgow  Graham and Benny headed south to London in the mid 60′s,  a rare one-off single, “Trees”, was issued on Polydor UK another very rare song, if you come cross it in amongst an old dusty second hand shop you might get a few quid for it.

In 1968 the pair were signed up to write songs for artists on the Apple record label, mainly for Mary Hopkins. Two years later the pair formed the band  McGuinness Flint  writing nine of the 11 songs on the group’s eponymous debut album, including their two top five hits, When I’m Dead and Gone and  Malt and Barley Blues. A second album followed before the pair left to branch out as duo with Gallagher and Lyle in 1972.

As a duo, Gallagher and Lyle recorded a total of eight albums, while they weren’t all big hits the duo were well respected for there song writing and chemistry between them. Their biggest hits I Wanna Stay With You and Heart on My Sleeve  both of which also charted in the US.    Gallagher and Lyle ‘s songs both topped the US Billboard  Adult Contemporary chart for Art Garfunkel and Don Williams respectively.  As session musicians, Gallagher and Lyle also backed numerous big names on disc, including Eric Clapton, Andy Fairweather Low and Fairport Convention amongst others.

In 1981, Graham Lyle formed his own publishing company, Goodsingle Publishing (later to become goodsingle.com), chiefly to administer his own copyrights, and began writing for other artists. These artist included Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Patti Labelle, Joe Cocker, Hall & Oates, Jim Diamond, Wet,Wet,Wet, and Wyclef Jean….the list really is endless!

Finally the song that we definitely all know best that was written by Graham Lyle is the Tina Turner smash hit What’s love got to do with it, in which he teamed up with the English-Australian songwriter Terry Britten. It won the Song of the Year Grammy. The song hit the top of the charts in many countries, and was a worldwide hit, in 2012 it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

My favourite Lyle composition is another collaboration, he co-wrote I Should Have Known Better with Jim Diamond, and I love the song, I sing it often at Karaoke, and yes I hit all the notes!  Another one he wrote with Bitten was the Wets, If I never see you again, which reached number three in the charts here.

Caledonia USA, a musical based on the songs of Gallagher and Lyle, was staged in Largs in April 2016. Originally titled “When I’m Dead and Gone”, it was subsequently retitled after a new song written specially for the show by Gallagher and Lyle.

Again, as with his early life I can find nothing about what Graham has been up to of late, he teamed up with Gallagher for a tour in 2018, since then there’s nothing.

While Taylor Swift has undoubtedly achieved immense success in her music career and made shrewd business decisions to protect her assets, the title of "billionaire" is not one she held as of my last update. However, the entertainment industry is dynamic, and opportunities for wealth accumulation are vast. With continued success and strategic financial planning, Taylor Swift's net worth may continue to rise, bringing her closer to the billionaire club. Read the full article

Rihanna’s Halftime Show Set New Musical Records!

Rihanna’s performance at the 57th NFL Superbowl Halftime show was nothing short of a grand spectacle. Her performance allowed her to capitalize on not only her musical career, but on her other companies. Unlike other musical performances, the Super Bowl Halftime show ​​doesn’t pay artists, but rather they benefit from the exposure it generates. This exhibits that in the business of music and audio streaming, indirect compensation through marketing is a popular tactic for established artists. Although music sales won’t be the only gains she sees after Sunday, it was through her 13 minute mash-up of her top songs that allowed her to leverage this position, setting music streaming records across different audio streaming platforms. 

Rihanna saw her biggest day in Apple Music history with last Sunday night’s Halftime Show. Due to her Superbowl performance,  Rihanna accomplished the most streams worldwide in Apple Music history and her biggest day in Shazam history. After her perfomance, Rihanna’s listeners on Apple Music worldwide increased by 331%. She also accomplished a massive increase in concurrent listeners compared to any of last year’s performers, leading to Rihanna’s most significant hour in Apple Music history by both synchronized listeners and streams. Additionally, many of her Billboard 100 hits such as “Umbrella” and “Work” re-entered the charts, and all in all, Rihanna’s songs charted in 149 countries on Sunday night. 

The show also resulted in her biggest day in Shazam history where "We Found Love” was the song with the most Shazams from Rihanna’s performance. On other audio streaming platforms such as Spotify, streams of Rihanna’s music increased 349% after the show concluded! Rihanna opening the show with “B*tch Better Have My Money” helped bring the track an illustrious 1,796% sales spike. Other hits in her catalog to see a noticeable boost following the show included “Pour It Up,” with 747%, “Rude Boy,” with 610%, and “Diamonds,” which saw a 556% boost in streaming numbers. Despite not releasing an album since 2016, Sunday night’s performance gave her the space to launch a new era in her business and musical career.

Wolf Alice Cover “In the Bleak Midwinter”

Wolf Alice have released a cover of “In the Bleak Midwinter.” Today, critically acclaimed rock band Wolf Alice share their cover of “In the Bleak Midwinter,” out now via Dirty Hit/RCA Records. Initially released in 2021 as an Apple Music exclusive, the group are thrilled to share their rendition of Christina Rossetti and Gustav Holst’s classic poem with fans across all streaming platforms ahead of the forthcoming holiday season. Says Wolf Alice of the release, “we have always thought ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’ was a beautiful melody and we could kind of imagine it as some kind of melancholy pop song, so with that in mind we tried a version of it sometime last year which we thought you may as well have this year too, because you can never have too many Christmas songs.” The release of “In the Bleak Midwinter” caps off an incredible run for the band this year, who supported Harry Styles for a portion of his European tour this past summer, opened for Halsey at Los Angeles’ acclaimed Hollywood Bowl and embarked on headlining tours of their own across North America, UK, Ireland, Europe, and Australia. This June, Wolf Alice also released Blue Lullaby, a companion EP containing stripped-down, lullabied versions of select songs from their Mercury Prize-nominated third record Blue Weekend. Wolf Alice are Ellie Rowsell (vocals, guitar), Joff Oddie (guitar, vocals), Theo Ellis (bass), and Joel Amey (drums, vocals). It has been a decade since the band began as a duo of Ellie Rowsell and Joff Oddie, then later expanded to a four-piece, with Joel Amey and Theo Ellis joining the group. Since then, the band saw their 2015 debut album My Love Is Cool soar to #2 on the UK charts, their sophomore album Visions Of A Life won the 2018 Hyundai Mercury prize and received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Performance. Wolf Alice are also one of only a small handful of artists to be nominated for the Mercury Prize for every single album they’ve released. Blue Weekend continued the band’s stretch of success by debuting at No. 1 on the UK charts on its release and winning the Brit Award for “Best Group” earlier this year. Wolf Alice have become a beloved, formidable live act in their ten years of existence, having graced the stage of various worldwide festivals including the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, Coachella, and Governor’s Ball, in addition to selling out shows on multiple continents all over the globe. --- Please consider becoming a member so we can keep bringing you stories like this one. ◎ https://chorus.fm/news/wolf-alice-cover-in-the-bleak-midwinter/

J. Cole gets Slizzy on Cash Cobain's new single "Grippy"

April's Billboard Rookie of the Month and multi-hyphenate NYC mainstay Cash Cobain has enlisted rap superstar J. Cole for “Grippy”, a new version of his acclaimed 2023 song “Dunk Contest” (8M Streams). Marking the first collaboration between the pair, “Grippy” sees the hip-hop heavyweight offer his most flex-worthy rhymes over Cobain’s signature sexy drill production. The track arrives amidst a hot streak for the rapper and producer, who recently linked up with Ice Spice for the long-awaited video remix for "Fisherrr" (feat. BaySwag) (26M Streams), which marked her third feature ever. It's been a massive week for Cobain, who just featured alongside Charlie Wilson on Don Toliver's new single "Attitude", appeared on A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s“Body”, and produced Lancey Foux’s“Gotta Get U”, showcasing why COMPLEX proclaimed that summer 2024 is “looking very slizzy". After steadily garnering momentum with R-rated anthems over his own ethereal production — pioneering the playful sexy drill sound and Slizzy Movement that he’s now taking to mainstream heights — Cash Cobain is primed for his moment in the spotlight. Following the success of smash singles "Dunk Contest" and "Fisherrr", the latter of which is being hailed as an early contender for song of the summer, Cobain has since hit 3M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, entered the Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, and occupied the #1 and #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts as well as #45 on the Urban Radio Charts. With recent releases "Dunk Contest" (watch his Genius Open Mic appearance), the Ice Spice-assisted remix for "Fisherrr" (feat. BaySwag), and now the J. Cole-featuring “Grippy”, Cash Cobain is elevating his signature sound — and showcasing its ever-growing widespread appeal in the process.

Last month, Cobain took over NYC with his 'Slizzy Fest' birthday show at Irving Plaza, a night that boasted a stacked lineup of New York’s finest along with rumors of a surprise set from a certain A-list superstar. After the hype reached a fever pitch, the growing crowd caused security concerns and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cobain still wanted to give the fans their money's worth. So he led the crowd down the street into Union Square and threw a makeshift show with just his crew, a Bluetooth speaker — and hundreds of adoring fans (read 'I Went to Cash Cobain’s Slizzyfest and All I Got Was That Classic NYC Feeling' via Rolling Stone and his statement in Billboard). Cobain has since teased potential collaborations with Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Don Toliver (seen filming a music video here), Lil Yachty and more –– a sure sign of the worldwide stardom soon to come. These recent releases arrive on the heels of a career-minting 2023 year that wrapped with the production of PinkPantheress'"Nice To Meet You" (feat. Central Cee), which debuted at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Cobain recently starred alongside her in a nationally-syndicated Apple commercial for the new MacBook). Previous months also saw Cobain produce Drake's"Calling For You" (feat. 21 Savage), which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ Travis Scott's Cactus Jack x Audemars Piguet event, and release his critically-acclaimed debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy with Giant Music.

Apollo Ltd Releases “Soul Worth Saving” To Radio

Residence/Centricity Music’s cinematic, alternative-pop duo Apollo LTD releases to radio its first single and video of 2022, “Soul Worth Saving.” Listed as New and Active on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart, the song was written by Apollo LTD’s Jordan Phillips and Adam Stark along with three-time GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning songwriter Ethan Hulse. “As Adam and I look at two albums worth of material in this band, we see a common thread that has run in and out of our music for a long time,” reveals Phillips. “That thread is communicating a message to all people, both the believer and the non-believer, that we have worth and value in the eyes of God. That we are treasured by the Father as we are, not as we should be.”

This big-picture view of the duo’s music formulated the basis for the new track. “The message is simple, but it’s taken me a long time to fully understand the depth of it,” confesses Phillips. “I hope you realize what Heaven has known for all eternity: we are all souls worth saving.” Don’t you know You’ve got a soul worth saving (oh don’t you know, don’t you know) Don’t you know You’re still a heart worth chasin’ (oh don’t you know) There’s love reaching deeper Behind the hurt in your eyes A diamond that can still shine I hope someday you realize What heaven already knows You’ve got a soul worth saving (don’t you know) You’re a soul worth saving (“Soul Worth Saving” Chorus) Apollo LTD puts an exclamation point on the hope shared in “Soul Worth Saving” in its studio performance video released today and produced by Emmy- and Dove Award-nominated director Elliott Eicheldinger. Soul Worth Saving - Apollo Ltd https://youtu.be/ejeP6W-eBro The new music from Apollo LTD follows its Billboard No. 1 hit “Sunday Morning Feeling (Feat. Ryan Stevenson)” from the duo’s acclaimed sophomore album, Nothing is Ordinary, Everything is Beautiful.
