This week’s Trending Up is all about celebrating the music of some incredible artists. From the late pop-rock icon to a revived collaboration and a well-traveled sample, there’s a lot to be excited about in the world of music. So let’s dive in and take a closer look at the latest trends that are making waves in the industry.
First up, we have the late pop-rock icon’s catalog gains. It’s no secret that the passing of a beloved artist can often lead to a surge in their music sales. And this week, we saw just that with the catalog of a legendary pop-rock icon. Fans from all over the world have been revisiting their favorite songs and albums, resulting in a significant increase in sales and streams. It’s a testament to the enduring impact of this artist’s music and a beautiful way to honor their legacy.
Next on our list is the revived collaboration between Janelle Monáe and Jidenna. The two artists first joined forces back in 2015 for the hit song “Yoga,” and now they’re back with another banger. Their latest collaboration, “Turntables,” is a powerful anthem that speaks to the current state of the world. With its thought-provoking lyrics and infectious beat, the song has been receiving widespread praise from fans and critics alike. It’s a reminder of the power of music to bring people together and inspire change.
And speaking of inspiring change, our final trend for this week is the well-traveled Yuna sample benefiting its original. Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna’s song “Crush” featuring Usher has been making waves since its release in 2016. But this week, the song gained even more attention when it was sampled by K-pop group BTS for their latest single, “Dynamite.” The sample has brought renewed attention to Yuna’s music, resulting in a surge in streams and sales. It’s a beautiful example of how collaborations and cross-cultural influences can benefit artists and their music.
In conclusion, this week’s Trending Up has been all about celebrating the power of music. From the enduring impact of a late pop-rock icon to the inspiring collaborations and cross-cultural influences, there’s a lot to be excited about in the world of music. So let’s continue to support and uplift these incredible artists and their music, and keep the positive trends going. Until next time, keep listening and keep spreading the love for music.
