Accumulating Ten Grammy Nominations and Two Wins in Just Two Years, H.E.R
“The musical sensation is changing how we hear – and feel – music with her talent, vision and mystique.” – Grammy.com Accumulating ten Grammy nominations and two wins in just two years, H.E.R. has proven herself as an R&B force to be reckoned with. In 2019, the singer/songwriter/multi- instrumentalist won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album (H.E.R.) and Best R&B Performance (“Best Part” featuring Daniel Caesar). This year, her five Grammy nominations included Album of the Year (I Used To Know Her), Record of the Year and Song of the Year (“Hard Place”), Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song (“Could’ve Been” ft. Bryson Tiller). Following up on her jaw-dropping performance of “Hard Place,” she returned to the Grammy stage for the second year in a row to perform “Sometimes,” a brand new song that became the most Shazamed performance of the night. In a short period of time, H.E.R. has accrued over two billion combined streams - and counting - of the breakthrough projects H.E.R. (RIAA-certified Platinum), I Used To Know Her, more recent songs “Slide” featuring YG (plus the remix featuring Chris Brown, Pop Smoke and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie), “Sometimes,” “Comfortable” (featured on The Photograph soundtrack) and “Wrong Places (from Songland).” “Slow Down,” Skip Marley’s infectious song featuring H.E.R., recently claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B Adult chart.

The Circulation of Popular Dance on Youtube
Social Texts, Social Audiences, Social Worlds: The Circulation of Popular Dance on YouTube Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alexandra Harlig Graduate Program in Dance The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Harmony Bench, Advisor Katherine Borland Karen Eliot Ryan Skinner Copyrighted by Alexandra Harlig 2019 2 Abstract Since its premiere, YouTube has rapidly emerged as the most important venue shaping popular dance practitioners and consumers, introducing paradigm shifts in the ways dances are learned, practiced, and shared. YouTube is a technological platform, an economic system, and a means of social affiliation and expression. In this dissertation, I contribute to ongoing debates on the social, political, and economic effects of technological change by focusing on the bodily and emotional labor performed and archived on the site in videos, comments sections, and advertisements. In particular I look at comments and fan video as social paratexts which shape dance reception and production through policing genre, citationality, and legitimacy; position studio dance class videos as an Internet screendance genre which entextualizes the pedagogical context through creative documentation; and analyze the use of dance in online advertisements to promote identity-based consumption. Taken together, these inquiries show that YouTube perpetuates and reshapes established modes and genres of production, distribution, and consumption. These phenomena require an analysis that accounts for their multivalence and the ways the texts circulating on YouTube subvert existing categories, binaries, and hierarchies. A cyclical exchange—between perpetuation and innovation, subculture and pop culture, amateur and professional, the subversive and the neoliberal—is what defines YouTube and the investigation I undertake in this dissertation.
