Artemis’s 2022 music awards!

alright y'all it's time for Artemis' music awards for the year, a project that started on twitter and I’m moving to here as well and something that's supposed to be an annual tradition and something I think about every year but that I apparently have forgotten to do more often than not over the last few years, this is partially a project for me to share my supposedly good music taste with the world and partially a time capsule for me in the future to look back at, also for some categories I will be awarding 2 winners, one for metal and one for non-metal for reasons.

I'm not amazing at explaining why I like things and tend to get self-conscious when I try so all of these will be presented with minimal commentary beyond this intro, if you want to learn more about any of my choices, feel free to DM me and I can try to go into further detail

also new this year I'll be including my JAMS rating for every referenced album, it's a personal formula I've been developing as part of my big top 100 albums project, the formula is, complicated and I'm still tweaking it but higher is better and ratings range from roughly 0 to 3.  all JAMS ratings are subject to change in future years and as of the time of writing I only have 29 albums rated out of the 100+ I plan to rate in the future although I do have most of my absolute favorites rated, but take the provisional rankings with somewhat of a grain of salt

also please also bear in mind these awards are exclusively for music I listened to this year, if your favorites aren't here that's because they aren't music I listen to (although feel free to sent them to me and they might make next year's discovered music list if I like them!)

with that out of the way, let's get on to the awards! (below the break to not make this post too long)

Album of the Year (my favorite albums that released in 2022):

Metal: Battle Beast - Circus of Doom (2.18, 7/29)

Non-metal: Taylor Swift - Midnights (2.04, 9/29)

honorable mention: Visions of Atlantis - Pirates (2.01, 10/29)

Song of the Year (my favorite songs that released in 2022):

Metal: Delain - The Quest and the Curse

Non-metal: Porter Robinson - Everything Goes On

honorable mentions:

Taylor Swift - Karma

Visions of Atlantis - Clocks

Battle Beast - Wings of Light

Discovered Song of the Year (my favorite songs not from 2022 but that I listened to for the first time this year):

Winner: Keshi - Blue

honorable mentions:

Death Grips - Hacker

Rise Against - Nowhere Generation

John Parr - St. Elmos Fire (Man in Motion)

Taylor Swift - Blank Space

Discovered Album of the Year (my favorite albums not from 2022 but that I listened to for the first time this year):

Winner: Portugal. The Man - Woodstock (1.93, 17/29)

honorable mentions:

Twenty One Pilots - Blurryface (1.74, 20/29)

Feuerschwanz - Memento Mori (currently unrated)

Most Anticipated Announced Album of 2023:

Delain - Dark Waters

Disappointment of the year:

Blind Guardian - The God Machine (my most anticipated album of 2022)

Music Video of the Year:

Visions of Atlantis - Master the Hurricane

and finally,

My top 5 all time rated albums by JAMS at time of posting:

1. Dizzy - Baby Teeth (2.68)

2. Porter Robinson - Nurture (2.61)

3. Blackmore's Night - Ghost of a Rose (2.49)

4. Within Temptation - The Heart of Everything (2.41)

5. Within Temptation - Resist (2.20)

If you made it this far, thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy the music and here's to lots more great music being released in 2023!

p.s. yes JAMS is a riff on JAWS, the baseball metric, and the formula is loosely based off of the same concept and I thought it would be a funny name for a music rating system

BTS on gaining respect in the US: ‘We definitely feel that’

Loud and happy screams erupt in unison from the seven-member pop stars BTS when they hear they have notched their first No. 1 hit on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“DREAM,” yells band member RM. “It still doesn’t feel real,” adds SUGA, speaking in Korean through a translator. “We’re really happy.”

“Dynamite,” the group’s first all-English song, debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. music charts this week, making BTS the first Korean pop act to top the chart. The upbeat song even supplanted “WAP,” the raunchy smash hit by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, to claim the No. 1 position.

“Never expected it,” RM tells The Associated Press of beating “WAP” for the top spot. “Never! It’s like the song of the year.”

But getting their first chart-topping track seemed inevitable for the K-pop boy band, who have continued to find major success in the U.S. in the last few years. They’ve had four albums top Billboard’s 200 albums chart, they’ve achieved Top 10 successes on the Hot 100 with “Boy With Luv,” “On” and “Fake Love,” and in just minutes they’ve sold out U.S. football stadiums that some pop stars need to join forces to perform at.

And even at U.S. awards shows, they’ve gone from winning honors like “top social artist” to being named best group and best pop act, beating out Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, twenty one pilots, Jonas Brothers and others. At Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, they won all four prizes they were nominated for.

When asked if BTS — who released their debut single in 2013 — felt like they’ve begun to earn more respect from the U.S., RM said: “We definitely feel that.”

“I think in the perspective of culture, I think it’s really important to be familiar. So first, we think ... that for many Americans (they were) not familiar with (us) — we look different, we (sing) different, we got some different choreography, music videos, like everything, even lifestyle. But I think as time goes by, we’re doing these shows and songs and concerts and awards, I think quite a lot of people in the American music market is getting, like, kind of close (to us),” he said. “I think it’s very good and that’s what we wanted actually.”

It could also be time for BTS’ first Grammy nomination.

“When we see (Western) artists ... get nominated for Grammys, they would go: ‘Yeah! Yeah!’” said j-hope, standing up from his chair and throwing a small punch in the air.

“Like Travis Scott,” he continued. “The nomination is meaningful to even (famous) people like that and to imagine that we could be nominated for Grammy, again, it would be such an honor and a great feeling.”

Nominees for the 2021 Grammy Awards will be announced later this year. The show doesn’t have a K-pop category, and while there is a best world music album award, there isn’t a song category for world and international music. Those songs, then, would compete for best pop duo/group performance — a highly competitive award reserved for big hits or collaborations featuring uber-popular performers.

But the success of “Dynamite” could explode into a Grammy nomination for BTS.

“The sheer thought of a nomination is thrilling,” said j-hope.

“I mean, we hope. We hope so,” said RM. “No one knows about the Grammys ... but we’re just doing our best.”

Though “Dynamite” has charted new territory for BTS, the song wasn’t even supposed to be released, RM explained. BTS had plans to tour but that changed due to the coronavirus: “The pandemic blew everything away.”

So they recorded “Dynamite” to give their die-hard fans, the BTS Army, “hope, positive energy,” RM said.

“And we think that it really touched their hearts.”

The group, which includes Jin, V, Jimin, and Jung Kook, says they’re busy recording a new album. They feel they have a grown in the seven years they’ve been a musical group.

“We’ve matured musically, as well as in the way we think. We’ve also developed a higher sense of responsibility. This has refined us and these developments are really being reflected in our music and our dance,” j-hope said.

The band members range from ages 23 to 27, and the youngest of clan, Jung Kook, celebrated his birthday this week with some special news.

“I received the news of our No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart on the day of my birthday, so it was really one celebration over another,” he said. “It was incredible.”

We really are in the Emo Renaissance aren’t we?

[sagehaleyofficial]

HERE’S WHAT YOU MISSED THIS WEEK (1.22-1.28.20):

·         Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong allowed Tyla Yaweh and Wiz Khalifa to use a sample of the band’s hit “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” for the remix of Yaweh’s song, “High Right Now.” The singer also makes an appearance in the track’s accompanying music video.

·         Tyler Joseph of Twenty One Pilots posted a picture with cryptic caption including the words “rough mix,” which may indicate new music on the way. The band has not put out an album since Trench in 2018.

·         Picturesque released a new single titled “Necessary,” alongside a music video, via Equal Vision Records. The band kicked off a tour with Hands Like Houses and Dead American on Saturday in Brooklyn, New York.

·         The Wonder Years dropped a new acoustic version of an old song, “Washington Square Park,” to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their record The Upsides. The band is hitting the road soon with Free Throw, Spanish Love Songs and Pool Kids for a special tour.

TOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS:

·         Third Eye Blind and YUNGBLUD had a special performance of the former band’s song, “Graduate,” in Los Angeles during their set at the Roxy. The performance preceded the Grammys ceremony this past weekend.

·         Firefly Music Festival is coming back to the Woodlands in Dover, Delaware, this summer. This year, headliners include Rage Against the Machine, Billie Eilish, Halsey, Blink-182, Khalid and Maggie Rogers.

·         Bayside will be celebrating their 20th anniversary with the 20 Years of Bad Luck Tour. The band plans on bringing fellow acts Senses Fail, Hawthorne Heights and Can’t Swim on the road with them.

OTHER NEWS:

·         Fall Out Boy appeared on the iconic game show The Price is Right. Only one half of the band, Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz, were present, but the pair hilariously played the game, filled in and even modeled prizes for other contestants.

·         Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco was revealed to be making an appearance in Taylor Swift‘s new Netflix documentary, Miss Americana. The duo previously worked together on their collaboration for Swift’s latest album, titled “ME!”

·         Fearless Records announced they would be hosting an immersive music and merchandise arcade pop-up to raise money for Heart Support and the Living the Dream Foundation. The event was held over this past weekend in Los Angeles.

·         PUP guitarist Steve Sladkowski will be honored in his home country of Canada with the honor of receiving the “Maple Leaf Forever” guitar next year. The guitar is made from a silver maple tree that inspired legendary musician Alexander Muir’s famous 1867 song.

·         Former Set It Off guitarist Dan Clermont revealed he is no longer using his Instagram account to promote music, but instead will be focusing on producing. He also revealed he would be changing his username for “starting fresh.”

TØP Weekly Update #86: Are You Filming Me Right Now?(3/8/19)

Speed run! (I had a final paper due today, been focused on that, my b.)

Bear Hands got announced as the headliner for the second leg of the North American Bandito Tour. Tyler played “Can’t Help Falling In Love” for International Women’s Day. Drum Island got a remix. Tyler’s learning how to open up pits. The Clique still can’t shut up for more than four seconds. Next week, the band plays their last show in the UK before heading over to Paris (Accorhotels Arena, 20,300 capacity), Amsterdam (Ziggo Dome, 17,000), and Brussels (Palais 12, 15,000). Not expecting too many further surprises, but maybe the boys will do something interesting tomorrow for their first time playing three consecutive shows in the same arena. Who’s to say!

In other news: Tyler and Josh returned to their old Vine days to make fun of our phone smuggling techniques. This coward called us slimeballs and called in to an Irish radio show (pictured above) to actually talk about what “Chlorine” means. Tyler and Josh were accused of glamorizing terrorism. You know. Standard stuff.

Perhaps the most exciting news from this week is that “Fake You Out” has been certified gold by the RIAA. As we reported just a few weeks ago, that leaves “Truce” as the only track from Vessel not to have reached that milestone. When it inevitably does (#StreamTruce), Vessel will be only the fourth album to attain that honor and make Twenty One Pilots the first artist to attain that honor twice. All from a 2013 album without a single radio hit. Truly the GOAT.

In other commercial song performance news, “My Blood” has fallen off at all metrics, but “Chlorine” is still making decent traction at radio. Still keeping my fingers crossed that it will make it. Maybe if Tyler capitalized on all his Fortnite love and played a virtual concert or something...

Power to the local dreamer.

One of the most talked about award shows of the year is back – and we’ve got you covered!

The 2021 MTV Video Music Awards has officially begun in NYC — and it sure has everyone talking on social media.

Like previous years, this cast list is nothing less than a legend. Hitters on stage include Doja Cat, Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes, Chloe, Lil Nas X, Alicia Keys, Casey Musgraves, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, who will be performing at the awards show for the first time in six years. years. Meanwhile, Machine Gun Kelly and Olivia Rodrigo will be working on the VMAs stage for a while. In addition, the Foo Fighters are also set to perform and will be honored with the first Global Icon Award.

In the days before the show, Lorde canceled her performance while Normani was announced as a last-minute extra after a viral fan petition. Nicki Minaj too tweeted on Thursday that he “pulled out” from the planned performance. But let’s be real, it wouldn’t be the VMAs without a little drama!

TooFab will be updating this post throughout the night — see the most viral performances and moments below!

Madonna opens the show

Who better to start things off for MTV’s 40th birthday, but Madonna, who’s been there since the beginning?

In a premade video showing her driving in a taxi around New York City, the Queen of Pop talks about her four-decade-long journey in the industry and how her rise with the network happened. “We found each other and formed a bond that changed my life, changed music and created a whole new art form,” she declared, “so there’s only one place to be tonight.”

The camera then cut inside Barclays, where the 63-year-old pop star took to the stage in a black leather Dominatrix getup and proudly declared: “They said we won’t last, but we’re still here mom—rs.” Happy 40th MTV!”

She then just turned and left, showing her notoriety behind. With this, Justin Bieber and The Kid Laroi began the first performance of the night.

baby on Board!

During Twenty One Pilots’ performance of “Saturday,” singer Tyler Joseph announced some big news mid-song — he and his wife, Jenna, are expecting their second child together!

“My wife is pregnant with our second child,” he said during a musical pause in the track. “I didn’t want to message everyone, so I thought I’d let you know now.”

“Now you know. Now you can go to bed!” He said while ending the song. Fans were thrilled!

Why text the family about the fact that you’re expecting a second child with your wife when you can just leave it in the middle #vma Display? Congratulations @ twenty one pilots Lead singer Tyler Joseph and his wife Jenna!

Lil Nas X brings Montero State Prison to the stage

play video content

After a proud introduction to Billy Porter, Lil Nas X hit the VMAs in his pink prison uniform from his infamous “Industry Baby” music video. Surrounded by male makeup dancers, she performed the entire song with Jack Harlow, who joined her on stage in a very form-fitting black pleather dress.

The rapper then recreated the shower scene from the video – but changed the censored blur for bright pink boxer briefs – surrounded by more half-naked men. It was a pleasure.

NEW YORK — Loud and happy screams erupt in unison from the seven-member pop stars BTS when they hear they have notched their first No. 1 hit on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart.

“DREAM,” yells band member RM. “It still doesn’t feel real,” adds SUGA, speaking in Korean through a translator. “We’re really happy.”

“Dynamite,” the group’s first all-English song, debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. music charts this week, making BTS the first Korean pop act to top the chart. The upbeat song even supplanted “WAP,” the raunchy smash hit by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, to claim the No. 1 position.

“Never expected it,” RM tells The Associated Press of beating “WAP” for the top spot. “Never! It’s like the song of the year.”

But getting their first chart-topping track seemed inevitable for the K-pop boy band, who have continued to find major success in the U.S. in the last few years. They’ve had four albums top Billboard’s 200 albums chart, they’ve achieved Top 10 successes on the Hot 100 with “Boy With Luv,” “On” and “Fake Love,” and in just minutes they’ve sold out U.S. football stadiums that some pop stars need to join forces to perform at.

And even at U.S. awards shows, they’ve gone from winning honors like “top social artist” to being named best group and best pop act, beating out Maroon 5, Imagine Dragons, twenty one pilots, Jonas Brothers and others. At Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, they won all four prizes they were nominated for.

When asked if BTS — who released their debut single in 2013 — felt like they’ve begun to earn more respect from the U.S., RM said: “We definitely feel that.”

“I think in the perspective of culture, I think it’s really important to be familiar. So first, we think … that for many Americans (they were) not familiar with (us) — we look different, we (sing) different, we got some different choreography, music videos, like everything, even lifestyle. But I think as time goes by, we’re doing these shows and songs and concerts and awards, I think quite a lot of people in the American music market is getting, like, kind of close (to us),” he said. “I think it’s very good and that’s what we wanted actually.”

It could also be time for BTS’ first Grammy nomination.

“When we see (Western) artists … get nominated for Grammys, they would go: ‘Yeah! Yeah!’” said j-hope, standing up from his chair and throwing a small punch in the air.

“Like Travis Scott,” he continued. “The nomination is meaningful to even (famous) people like that and to imagine that we could be nominated for Grammy, again, it would be such an honor and a great feeling.”

Nominees for the 2021 Grammy Awards will be announced later this year. The show doesn’t have a K-pop category, and while there is a best world music album award, there isn’t a song category for world and international music. Those songs, then, would compete for best pop duo/group performance — a highly competitive award reserved for big hits or collaborations featuring uber-popular performers.

But the success of “Dynamite” could explode into a Grammy nomination for BTS.

“The sheer thought of a nomination is thrilling,” said j-hope.

“I mean, we hope. We hope so,” said RM. “No one knows about the Grammys … but we’re just doing our best.”

Though “Dynamite” has charted new territory for BTS, the song wasn’t even supposed to be released, RM explained. BTS had plans to tour but that changed due to the coronavirus: “The pandemic blew everything away.”

So they recorded “Dynamite” to give their die-hard fans, the BTS Army, “hope, positive energy,” RM said.

“And we think that it really touched their hearts.”

The group, which includes Jin, V, Jimin, and Jung Kook, says they’re busy recording a new album. They feel they have a grown in the seven years they’ve been a musical group.

“We’ve matured musically, as well as in the way we think. We’ve also developed a higher sense of responsibility. This has refined us and these developments are really being reflected in our music and our dance,” j-hope said.

The band members range from ages 23 to 27, and the youngest of clan, Jung Kook, celebrated his birthday this week with some special news.

“I received the news of our No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart on the day of my birthday, so it was really one celebration over another,” he said. “It was incredible.”
