New Top 10 Arrivals In Q3 (12 Songs) 6 / 58 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com As was the case in Q2, the vast majority of songs that entered into the Pop songs top 10 for the first time during Q3 possess a Fusion of influences or are different in nature than the typical Dance, Rock, Hip Hop/Rap and R&B/Soul songs that show up from quarter to quarter. Song that are predominantly Dance and Hip Hop/Rap followed far behind, accounting for 25% and 17% of songs, respectively. Notice that the Hip Hop/Rap category showed the greatest increase relative to the preceding quarter. On the other end of the spectrum, new R&B/Soul and Rock songs were no-shows during Q3.

All of the other songs possess forms of differing nature. Only 2 out of 12 songs kicked off with the chorus as opposed to the verse – I Need Your Love and We Can’t Stop.

The Hip Hop/Rap category averaged the longest by far at 5:29, while the Pop Fusion/Other category clocked in at the shortest, averaging at 3:22. All songs except for 2 (Holy Grail and We Can’t Stop) utilized an intro within their framework.

  • A Life in Stasis: New Album Reviews
    A Life In Stasis: New Album Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the Olympics failing to inspire, it can seem as if the only way to spend the long summer months is by playing endless rounds of tiddlywinks, or consuming copious amounts of Jammy Dodgers. But, that doesn’t have to be the case. There is a better way! For instance, you can take up ant farming, as my good friend Jeffrey has recently done, or immerse yourself in the wealth of fantastic new music which has recently come out. Personally, I would recommend the latter. By JOHN BITTLES In the following column we review some of the best new albums hitting the shelves over the coming weeks. We have the shadowy electronica of Pye Corner Audio, pop introspection by Angel Olsen, the post dubstep blues of Zomby, some sleek house from Komapkt, Kornél Kovács and Foans, the experimental genius of Gudrun Gut and Momus, and lots more. So, before someone starts chucking javelins in my direction, we had better begin… Back in 2012 Sleep Games by Pye Corner Audio quickly established itself as one of the most engaging and enthralling albums of modern times. On the record, ghostly electroncia, John Carpenter style synths, and epic, ambient soundscapes converged to create a body of work which still sounds awe-inspiringly beautiful today. After the melancholy acid of his Head Technician reissue last month, Martin Jenkins returns to his Pye Corner Audio alias late August with the haunted landscapes of the Stasis LP.

  • Mary Lambert: Spreading the Love Call Singer-Songwriter Mary Lambert a Missionary for Self-Acceptance
    Mary Lambert: Spreading the love Call singer-songwriter Mary Lambert a missionary for self-acceptance. When it comes to bipolar disorder, body-image and more, she won’t take shame for an answer. By Stephanie Stephens Mary Lambert doesn’t care if the world knows her secrets. She recites them, sings them, and lives them large with a candid, “this is really me” demeanor that endears her to legions of loyal fans. Along the way she sets a powerful example of how to steadfastly love yourself even when you’ve been programmed not to—because you’re not a size 4, because you have a mental illness, because people in your life treat you as if you’re worthless. Hearing her hit single “Secrets” for the first time often prompts a double-take: “Did she really sing that?” Yes, she did, just like this: I’ve got bi-polar disorder My sh*** not in order The bubbly and disarming multi-hyphenate (singer-songwriter, poet, and spoken-word artist) remembers telling her friends how she was going to start the song. Aghast, they asked her, “Are you sure you want to do that?” She shot back without hesitation, “Yes!” “Then I woke up the next morning with a ‘truth hangover,’” laughs Lambert, on break from a U.S. tour with the Irish band The Script and singer/songwriter Colton Avery. “Being vulnerable is essential to my music, the way I function and love, and how I connect with people,” the 26-year-old says. “Vulnerability is the key to empathy, but it is also a double-edged sword.

Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • 'And I Swear...' – Profanity in Pop Music Lyrics on the American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 and the Effect on Youtube Popularity
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 'And I Swear...' – Profanity In Pop Music Lyrics On The American Billboard Charts 2009-2018 And The Effect On Youtube Popularity Martin James Moloney, Hanifah Mutiara Sylva Abstract: The Billboard Chart tracks the sales and popularity of popular music in the United States of America. Due to the cross-cultural appeal of the music, the Billboard Chart is the de facto international chart. A concern among cultural commentators was the prevalence of swearing in songs by artists who were previously regarded as suitable content for the youth or ‗pop‘ market. The researchers studied songs on the Billboard Top 10 from 2009 to 2018 and checked each song for profanities. The study found that ‗pop‘, a sub-genre of ‗popular music‘ did contain profanities; the most profane genre, ‗Hip-hop/Rap‘ accounted for 76% of swearing over the ten-year period. A relationship between amount of profanity and YouTube popularity was moderately supported. The researchers recommended adapting a scale used by the British television regulator Ofcom to measure the gravity of swearing per song. Index Terms: Billboard charts, popularity, profanity, Soundcloud, swearing, YouTube. —————————— —————————— 1 INTRODUCTION Ipsos Mori [7] the regulator of British television said that profane language fell into two main categories: (a) general 1.1 The American Billboard Charts and ‘Hot 100’ swear words and those with clear links to body parts, sexual The Billboard Chart of popular music was first created in 1936 references, and offensive gestures; and (b) specifically to archive the details of sales of phonographic records in the discriminatory language, whether directed at older people, United States [1].
