Hey, welcome to stream state,
your weekly podcast all about the state of
2
00:00:12.310 --> 00:00:15.550
music and streaming. My name is
Carla, and here's your update on the
3
00:00:15.589 --> 00:00:19.750
top songs, artists and music videos
of the week across the streaming platforms we
4
00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:23.539
love to use. We're back in
action after a two week break, and
5
00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:27.019
a lot has happened since then.
Spotify has wrapped our year and I have
6
00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:31.219
to say I thoroughly enjoy seeing everyone's
most dream songs a dull drop to album
7
00:00:31.339 --> 00:00:34.500
thirty, and we've had a few
new music artists make their chart debuts after
8
00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:38.130
going viral on Ticktock, and this
week we're talking about Gael, who went
9
00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:42.850
viral with her song a Bcdefu,
and Drea Mac and Felix, the first
10
00:00:42.929 --> 00:00:46.649
who took off with their song own
brand freestyle. On top of that,
11
00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:50.799
we're discussing DOJA KAT's new music video
to a song woman, and our Song
12
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.600
of the week, giving some homegrown
talents and love, river by the local
13
00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:04.870
band West Wind. I feel like
today is the first a sin I left
14
00:01:04.909 --> 00:01:10.950
him feel lonely. The most stream
songs this week are number one, Adele's
15
00:01:10.989 --> 00:01:14.870
easy on me, with three hundred
and eighty five million total streams. Forty
16
00:01:14.909 --> 00:01:17.790
two million, of those being from
the last week, and this song was
17
00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:21.620
featured on Adell's fourth studio album,
titled Thirty, which was released on November
18
00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:26.019
nineteen. The album has had rave
reviews, with half the track list hitting
19
00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.260
the top forty already, and it's
certainly not an album you'd listened to before
20
00:01:29.299 --> 00:01:30.819
heading out on a Saturday night,
but I reckon it would be the perfect
21
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:37.489
soundtrack to a romantic, cinematic masterpiece. Her voice and Vocal Range is incredible
22
00:01:37.569 --> 00:01:41.250
and she experiments with different genres of
music that she hasn't really doubled with in
23
00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:51.319
the previous albums. Then I feel
no more I can even the album is
24
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.799
basically telling the story of her divorce
with her ex husband, Simon Kennecky,
25
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.280
and how she had to explain it
to their son Angelo. And if you
26
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.829
want to find out more about this
relationship, have a listened to episode eleven
27
00:02:00.909 --> 00:02:06.230
of Stream State. Adult is typically
really private about her life, but throughout
28
00:02:06.230 --> 00:02:09.150
the album she's included voice recordings of
her talking to her son and expressing her
29
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:13.909
feelings as she was going through the
divorce, and I think this vulnerability really
30
00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:16.939
humanizes her and makes us realize that
she's a normal person with real feelings and
31
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:22.060
real problems like the rest of us. Rolling Stone named at her best album
32
00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:23.659
yet, as did a lot of
critics, and if you're in need of
33
00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:28.580
a good cry, I highly recommend
to listen. The second most stream song
34
00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:30.889
this week is stay by the KID
L Roy Featuring Justin Bieber, which has
35
00:02:30.969 --> 00:02:36.090
one point two billion total streams,
with thirty five million of those being in
36
00:02:36.129 --> 00:02:39.129
the last week. The third most
stream song is industry baby by little NAS
37
00:02:39.169 --> 00:02:44.520
x featuring Jack Harlow, with seven
hundred and seventy nine million total streams and
38
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.599
thirty million of those in the last
week. The fourth most dream Song is
39
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.800
a new contender thanks to tick tock, which is called a abcdf you by
40
00:02:52.960 --> 00:03:05.349
Gail's. Gail is a seventeen year
old from Dallas, Texas, and this
41
00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:08.629
song is our first major label release
after she signed on with Atlantic records earlier
42
00:03:08.669 --> 00:03:13.979
this year. The angsty, break
up pop punk song gives me huge Olivia
43
00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:17.219
Rodrigo Vibes, and I wouldn't be
surprised if this wave of pop punk music
44
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:22.300
swings into the new year as well. Gail was originally discovered by the former
45
00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:25.500
American idol judge Carra Dio Guardi at
a singing competition when she was fourteen years
46
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:30.169
old, and ever since then,
Carra has acted as a mentor. ABCDEF
47
00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:34.289
you is about her break up with
her ex boyfriend, where she tells everyone
48
00:03:34.330 --> 00:03:37.569
in his life to f off,
with the exception of his dog, obviously
49
00:03:38.889 --> 00:03:45.280
should God. The homemade music video
shows her and her friends breaking into her
50
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.560
ex boyfriend's house, giving the finger
to all the family photos, having a
51
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.479
food fight in the kitchen and just
generally being angsty teenage rascals. She said
52
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.870
in an interview I felt super guilty
for the break up with my ex and,
53
00:03:55.949 --> 00:03:59.550
as a coping mechanism for my guilt, I tried really hard to be
54
00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:01.509
a friend to him and stay in
his life. Then I heard he was
55
00:04:01.590 --> 00:04:05.469
talking shit about me and all my
suppressed emotions came rushing in. I was
56
00:04:05.550 --> 00:04:09.550
piece that I wait until he was
talking shit about me to let myself be
57
00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:14.699
mad. Thus ABCDF you was born. The song was released on the thirteen
58
00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:17.379
of August, but it started gaining
traction as it again trending on Tick Tock,
59
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.620
with some users choosing the song as
a sound track to their own breakup
60
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:25.329
stories, or some uses teaching others
sign language to the lyrics, which I
61
00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:30.170
absolutely love. Currently, the seven
hundred and fifty seven thousand videos using the
62
00:04:30.209 --> 00:04:32.449
song on Tick Tock, with a
total of one point eight billion views.
63
00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:36.970
This is translated to sixty five million
streams on spotify, with twenty eight million
64
00:04:38.009 --> 00:04:41.399
of those, almost half being in
the last week. So I reckon will
65
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.399
continue to see this song rise over
the next couple of weeks. The real
66
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.120
question is where the gay will be
able to continue the momentum with whichever new
67
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.639
song she has to follow. With
her first bang out already topping the charts,
68
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.709
I reckon she's got some great potential. Wrapping up the most stream songs,
69
00:04:55.750 --> 00:04:58.949
this week we have cold heart by
Elton John, featuring Jewil leeper and
70
00:04:58.990 --> 00:05:02.069
pinned out, with three hundred and
thirty two million total streams and twenty seven
71
00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:15.379
million of those being the last week. Let me the CAN. The top
72
00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:18.459
trending music video this week is woman
by Dojakat. This song was released a
73
00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:21.610
few months ago, in June,
on her third studio album planet her.
74
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:26.569
Since then, the song has gained
four hundred and forty one million streams and
75
00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:30.569
the music video already has eight and
a half million views after being released last
76
00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:34.800
Friday. Doja Kat was born as
Amala Dla mini and she's an American singer
77
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.480
and songwriter based in La. When
she was a teenager, she started competing
78
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.879
in dance battles and her aren't taught
her singing lessons to help her get into
79
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.319
performing arts high school, but in
a junior year when she was sixteen years
80
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.720
old, she dropped out to spend
more time making music and sharing it online.
81
00:05:49.110 --> 00:05:54.110
Her online persona was Dojakat, named
after one of her cats and also
82
00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:57.910
her favorite strain of weed, which
also inspired the first song she uploaded to
83
00:05:57.949 --> 00:06:12.740
soundcloud so high when she was seventeen
years old. The song got picked up
84
00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:15.459
and led to her being signed on
to our sea records. Two years later.
85
00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:19.290
She released her first official EP,
per at nineteen years old, and
86
00:06:19.410 --> 00:06:24.009
following this, she released her debut
studio album, Amla, in March two
87
00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:27.569
thousand and eighteen, which went kind
of unrecognized by critics at the time.
88
00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:30.290
She had just released her first album, but dozer was still struggling to gain
89
00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:34.360
mainstream attraction. It wasn't until a
few months later, when she uploaded a
90
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.600
homemade music video do youtube called Moo, that she began to go viral.
91
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.069
Yeah, Bitch, I'M A cow. Bitch, I'm the cow, I'm
92
00:06:47.149 --> 00:06:50.149
not a cat. I don't see
now. A year after this, her
93
00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:55.709
song juicy from her first album Amala, was remixed by the American Rapper Tiger
94
00:06:56.069 --> 00:07:00.269
and became her first hot one hundred
chart entry. This remix became the lead
95
00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:03.100
single for a second album, hot
pink. Also featured on this album was
96
00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:05.899
a song say so, and,
with the help of a viral trend on
97
00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:10.339
tick tock, this track became her
most successful song at the time, which
98
00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:23.730
led Dozia to start securing her place
in mainstream pop music. Okay, so
99
00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:27.689
let's snap to two thousand and twenty
one. Dog Kat has punctured public consciousness
100
00:07:27.769 --> 00:07:30.639
and fans are ready and excited for
a third studio album. In June this
101
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.480
year she dropped planet her, which
broke the record for the biggest opening day
102
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.040
for a female rap album on spotify. Dosia Kat said planet her is the
103
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.680
center of the universe, but all
races of space exist and it's where all
104
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.069
species can kind of be in harmony. This really reminds me of the meaning
105
00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:50.149
behind cold play and BTS's Song My
universe, which is released earlier this year.
106
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:56.389
Planet her owned Dozia Kut eight grammy
nominations and she has three pre release
107
00:07:56.389 --> 00:08:01.459
singles from the album. You rite
need to know and kiss me more like
108
00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:11.180
fuck, is something like the first
track on the album. Woman started gaining
109
00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:15.329
traction on tick tock a month after
it was released in August. This here
110
00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:18.209
when Tracy Joseph started a viral dance
trend to the song. And if you
111
00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:22.970
remember, this is the exact same
user who started the dance trend for CK's
112
00:08:22.089 --> 00:08:26.240
love nue tit, which led the
song to gaining global traction. I feel
113
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.839
like Tracy should be given a grammy
fall her work this year. Woman Rhanto
114
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.639
the hot one hundred after its tick
tock success thanks to Tracy, and Ja
115
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.840
Kat decided to release it as the
album's fourth single in October. The song
116
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.429
is a high energy afrobeat song about, you guessed it, being a woman,
117
00:08:41.830 --> 00:08:46.429
but it also references how the patriarchy
often pits girls against each other to
118
00:08:46.470 --> 00:08:48.429
compete for male attention. And I'll
be there for you because you want my
119
00:08:48.549 --> 00:08:52.429
teender. Don't ever think you were
headed. These NIGGAS Dream Girl. They
120
00:08:52.509 --> 00:08:54.309
want to put us against each other. What we succeed for no, Weize
121
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:56.700
is they want to see us in
a bank. weepoulgine. A mean though
122
00:08:56.820 --> 00:09:01.740
PSIs of each music video for the
album singles are based in different locations on
123
00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:05.980
the fictional planet her and woman is
no different. The music video stars choreographer
124
00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:09.610
Tiana Taylor, who was also the
star of Carne's music video free song,
125
00:09:09.730 --> 00:09:13.970
Fade. And I think what's extra
all about this music video for woman is
126
00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:18.690
that Dozia Kat partnered with girls who
code, giving fans the ability to edit
127
00:09:18.730 --> 00:09:24.919
the video using code and making it
the first ever codeable music video. Girls
128
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.639
who code is a non for profit
organization which aims to close the gender gap
129
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.799
in technology and inspire girls to work
in and learn about, computer science.
130
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.679
The collaboration with Doja Kat aims to
show girls the possibilities and creative side of
131
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.950
working in tech. I think that's
so cool of a way, but I
132
00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:46.470
never been with about everybody. She
can't so added to the TUNEY. Let
133
00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:50.830
us some Boe calling them maddy.
Let's try. The top trending tick tock
134
00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:54.659
track this week is an absolute banger. Own Brand freestyle by the UK rappers
135
00:09:54.700 --> 00:10:00.100
Draya Mac and Felix, the first
featuring finch fetty has had a millions of
136
00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:03.980
users dance to this song and billions
of users watching the videos. In just
137
00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:07.450
over a month. Since it was
released on October twenty nine, the song
138
00:10:07.570 --> 00:10:13.129
has kicked off a viral dance trend
resulting in two point one million videos published
139
00:10:13.409 --> 00:10:18.009
and nineteen point four billion views.
Just let that sink in for a minute.
140
00:10:18.049 --> 00:10:20.440
That is two and a half times
the population of the world. As
141
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.960
a result of this huge virality on
Ticktock, the song has led to almost
142
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.960
twelve million streams on spotify. It's
really interesting comparing this to the streaming success
143
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.440
of Abcdefu, which had a third
of the amount of videos created using the
144
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.870
song on ticktock but six times the
amount of streams on spotify. I reckon
145
00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:41.429
the popularity of punk music. Following
a live old Rodrigo this year has played
146
00:10:41.429 --> 00:10:46.070
a huge factor here. Felix the
first and Draya MAAC are both at the
147
00:10:46.110 --> 00:10:48.309
start of their mainstream music journeys,
and there's not really a lot of Info
148
00:10:48.350 --> 00:10:52.620
about Felix Online. The rabbit has
less than Twentyzeros follows on Instagram and twenty
149
00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:56.940
Fivezero followers on Ticktock, and own
brand, freestyle, is he second official
150
00:10:58.019 --> 00:11:01.340
release. Dray MAC has a bigger
profile, recently hitting one million followers on
151
00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:05.289
ticktock after own brand free style took
off. She grew up in west London
152
00:11:05.370 --> 00:11:09.529
with a passion for dancing and left
home at sixteen years old to pursue a
153
00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:13.690
career in the industry. She enrolled
at the Britt School of Performing Arts,
154
00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:16.490
following the lacks of amy winehouse and
a dull which helped her gain traction as
155
00:11:16.529 --> 00:11:20.480
a choreographer. She landed some big
gigs, appearing in ads for Cocacola and
156
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.960
HMM and also touring with read aura
and jewel leeper. From this experience and
157
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.360
she had a good sense of the
music industry. She said, I've seen
158
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.720
the behind the scenes. I've seen
what goes into the creative process of everything
159
00:11:33.029 --> 00:11:37.110
and the hard work that goes into
the end product. Her pivot from dance
160
00:11:37.190 --> 00:11:39.909
to wrap was pretty seamless. Her
intention was to make music she could dance
161
00:11:39.950 --> 00:11:43.990
to. Her First Song, skipping, was released at the start of the
162
00:11:43.029 --> 00:11:46.950
pandemic, in March two thousand and
twenty one, which gained some solid traction.
163
00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:50.899
If you caught up on my name
on my bill, up on my
164
00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:58.220
game, I'm alive on my side. With her background in professional choreography,
165
00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:01.210
drea visions the music video and dances
to the songs while she's producing and writing
166
00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:05.850
them. She said, when the
producers making the beat and I'm in here
167
00:12:05.929 --> 00:12:07.970
nodding my head and writing down lyrics, I can already see the whole piece,
168
00:12:09.409 --> 00:12:11.809
be that the stage show or the
music video. In less than two
169
00:12:11.809 --> 00:12:16.879
years, drea Mac made her mark
on the UK rap scene with seven singles
170
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.360
and one ep before releasing the global
hit own brand freestyle. Her perfect combination
171
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.519
of Grimy rap lyrics and professional choreography
has allowed her to leverage tick tock to
172
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.110
spread her sound globally. She said. Tick Tock is opened a huge opportunity
173
00:12:31.149 --> 00:12:35.110
for my music to be appreciated worldwide, but I think it's her work and
174
00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:41.110
personality that's allowed her to really leverage
the platform to its full potential. Cold
175
00:12:41.230 --> 00:12:52.860
Shiver frozen my fence. Wrapping up
this episode with our Song of the week,
176
00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:56.100
which is called river by the local
New South Wales Band West Wind.
177
00:12:56.779 --> 00:13:00.570
And before I even talk about how
good this song is, I just want
178
00:13:00.610 --> 00:13:03.409
to say I don't think I've ever
come across a bad song that refers to
179
00:13:03.450 --> 00:13:07.570
a river, river by Leon Bridges, river by Roberta Flak, take me
180
00:13:07.649 --> 00:13:11.090
to the river by Al Green.
I might make a river playlist. Actually,
181
00:13:11.330 --> 00:13:13.440
I'm a thousand percent sure there's one
already out there. If you've made
182
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.600
a river playlist and you're listening,
please add a river by West Wind.
183
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.559
This song is a melodic, chill, Dancy Bang up, perfect for a
184
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.240
sunny day in the park or floating
on a river. West wind are made
185
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.029
up of mark and drews, the
producer, Mitch Faiola on vocals, Mark
186
00:13:28.149 --> 00:13:33.029
Beasley on Bass and Zach Lucas on
keys. There's still a relatively undiscovered band
187
00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:37.990
with five hundred monthly listeners on spotify, but they have four singles, one
188
00:13:37.070 --> 00:13:41.379
EP and the debut studio album visions
of her on their discography, all with
189
00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:46.700
great, smooth, uplifting songs.
So there's heaps to discover there. That
190
00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:50.019
is all for stream state. This
week add river by West winds or summer

00:13:50.059 --> 00:13:54.220

00:00:08.429 --> 00:00:12.230
Hey, welcome to stream state,
your weekly podcast all about the state of
2
00:00:12.310 --> 00:00:15.550
music and streaming. My name is
Carla, and here's your update on the
3
00:00:15.589 --> 00:00:19.750
top songs, artists and music videos
of the week across the streaming platforms we
4
00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:23.539
love to use. We're back in
action after a two week break, and
5
00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:27.019
a lot has happened since then.
Spotify has wrapped our year and I have
6
00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:31.219
to say I thoroughly enjoy seeing everyone's
most dream songs a dull drop to album
7
00:00:31.339 --> 00:00:34.500
thirty, and we've had a few
new music artists make their chart debuts after
8
00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:38.130
going viral on Ticktock, and this
week we're talking about Gael, who went
9
00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:42.850
viral with her song a Bcdefu,
and Drea Mac and Felix, the first
10
00:00:42.929 --> 00:00:46.649
who took off with their song own
brand freestyle. On top of that,
11
00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:50.799
we're discussing DOJA KAT's new music video
to a song woman, and our Song
12
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.600
of the week, giving some homegrown
talents and love, river by the local
13
00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:04.870
band West Wind. I feel like
today is the first a sin I left
14
00:01:04.909 --> 00:01:10.950
him feel lonely. The most stream
songs this week are number one, Adele's
15
00:01:10.989 --> 00:01:14.870
easy on me, with three hundred
and eighty five million total streams. Forty
16
00:01:14.909 --> 00:01:17.790
two million, of those being from
the last week, and this song was
17
00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:21.620
featured on Adell's fourth studio album,
titled Thirty, which was released on November
18
00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:26.019
nineteen. The album has had rave
reviews, with half the track list hitting
19
00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.260
the top forty already, and it's
certainly not an album you'd listened to before
20
00:01:29.299 --> 00:01:30.819
heading out on a Saturday night,
but I reckon it would be the perfect
21
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:37.489
soundtrack to a romantic, cinematic masterpiece. Her voice and Vocal Range is incredible
22
00:01:37.569 --> 00:01:41.250
and she experiments with different genres of
music that she hasn't really doubled with in
23
00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:51.319
the previous albums. Then I feel
no more I can even the album is
24
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.799
basically telling the story of her divorce
with her ex husband, Simon Kennecky,
25
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.280
and how she had to explain it
to their son Angelo. And if you
26
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.829
want to find out more about this
relationship, have a listened to episode eleven
27
00:02:00.909 --> 00:02:06.230
of Stream State. Adult is typically
really private about her life, but throughout
28
00:02:06.230 --> 00:02:09.150
the album she's included voice recordings of
her talking to her son and expressing her
29
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:13.909
feelings as she was going through the
divorce, and I think this vulnerability really
30
00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:16.939
humanizes her and makes us realize that
she's a normal person with real feelings and
31
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:22.060
real problems like the rest of us. Rolling Stone named at her best album
32
00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:23.659
yet, as did a lot of
critics, and if you're in need of
33
00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:28.580
a good cry, I highly recommend
to listen. The second most stream song
34
00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:30.889
this week is stay by the KID
L Roy Featuring Justin Bieber, which has
35
00:02:30.969 --> 00:02:36.090
one point two billion total streams,
with thirty five million of those being in
36
00:02:36.129 --> 00:02:39.129
the last week. The third most
stream song is industry baby by little NAS
37
00:02:39.169 --> 00:02:44.520
x featuring Jack Harlow, with seven
hundred and seventy nine million total streams and
38
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.599
thirty million of those in the last
week. The fourth most dream Song is
39
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.800
a new contender thanks to tick tock, which is called a abcdf you by
40
00:02:52.960 --> 00:03:05.349
Gail's. Gail is a seventeen year
old from Dallas, Texas, and this
41
00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:08.629
song is our first major label release
after she signed on with Atlantic records earlier
42
00:03:08.669 --> 00:03:13.979
this year. The angsty, break
up pop punk song gives me huge Olivia
43
00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:17.219
Rodrigo Vibes, and I wouldn't be
surprised if this wave of pop punk music
44
00:03:17.300 --> 00:03:22.300
swings into the new year as well. Gail was originally discovered by the former
45
00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:25.500
American idol judge Carra Dio Guardi at
a singing competition when she was fourteen years
46
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:30.169
old, and ever since then,
Carra has acted as a mentor. ABCDEF
47
00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:34.289
you is about her break up with
her ex boyfriend, where she tells everyone
48
00:03:34.330 --> 00:03:37.569
in his life to f off,
with the exception of his dog, obviously
49
00:03:38.889 --> 00:03:45.280
should God. The homemade music video
shows her and her friends breaking into her
50
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.560
ex boyfriend's house, giving the finger
to all the family photos, having a
51
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.479
food fight in the kitchen and just
generally being angsty teenage rascals. She said
52
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.870
in an interview I felt super guilty
for the break up with my ex and,
53
00:03:55.949 --> 00:03:59.550
as a coping mechanism for my guilt, I tried really hard to be
54
00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:01.509
a friend to him and stay in
his life. Then I heard he was
55
00:04:01.590 --> 00:04:05.469
talking shit about me and all my
suppressed emotions came rushing in. I was
56
00:04:05.550 --> 00:04:09.550
piece that I wait until he was
talking shit about me to let myself be
57
00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:14.699
mad. Thus ABCDF you was born. The song was released on the thirteen
58
00:04:14.819 --> 00:04:17.379
of August, but it started gaining
traction as it again trending on Tick Tock,
59
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.620
with some users choosing the song as
a sound track to their own breakup
60
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:25.329
stories, or some uses teaching others
sign language to the lyrics, which I
61
00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:30.170
absolutely love. Currently, the seven
hundred and fifty seven thousand videos using the
62
00:04:30.209 --> 00:04:32.449
song on Tick Tock, with a
total of one point eight billion views.
63
00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:36.970
This is translated to sixty five million
streams on spotify, with twenty eight million
64
00:04:38.009 --> 00:04:41.399
of those, almost half being in
the last week. So I reckon will
65
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.399
continue to see this song rise over
the next couple of weeks. The real
66
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.120
question is where the gay will be
able to continue the momentum with whichever new
67
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.639
song she has to follow. With
her first bang out already topping the charts,
68
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.709
I reckon she's got some great potential. Wrapping up the most stream songs,
69
00:04:55.750 --> 00:04:58.949
this week we have cold heart by
Elton John, featuring Jewil leeper and
70
00:04:58.990 --> 00:05:02.069
pinned out, with three hundred and
thirty two million total streams and twenty seven
71
00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:15.379
million of those being the last week. Let me the CAN. The top
72
00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:18.459
trending music video this week is woman
by Dojakat. This song was released a
73
00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:21.610
few months ago, in June,
on her third studio album planet her.
74
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:26.569
Since then, the song has gained
four hundred and forty one million streams and
75
00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:30.569
the music video already has eight and
a half million views after being released last
76
00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:34.800
Friday. Doja Kat was born as
Amala Dla mini and she's an American singer
77
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.480
and songwriter based in La. When
she was a teenager, she started competing
78
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.879
in dance battles and her aren't taught
her singing lessons to help her get into
79
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.319
performing arts high school, but in
a junior year when she was sixteen years
80
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.720
old, she dropped out to spend
more time making music and sharing it online.
81
00:05:49.110 --> 00:05:54.110
Her online persona was Dojakat, named
after one of her cats and also
82
00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:57.910
her favorite strain of weed, which
also inspired the first song she uploaded to
83
00:05:57.949 --> 00:06:12.740
soundcloud so high when she was seventeen
years old. The song got picked up
84
00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:15.459
and led to her being signed on
to our sea records. Two years later.
85
00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:19.290
She released her first official EP,
per at nineteen years old, and
86
00:06:19.410 --> 00:06:24.009
following this, she released her debut
studio album, Amla, in March two
87
00:06:24.009 --> 00:06:27.569
thousand and eighteen, which went kind
of unrecognized by critics at the time.
88
00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:30.290
She had just released her first album, but dozer was still struggling to gain
89
00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:34.360
mainstream attraction. It wasn't until a
few months later, when she uploaded a
90
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.600
homemade music video do youtube called Moo, that she began to go viral.
91
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.069
Yeah, Bitch, I'M A cow. Bitch, I'm the cow, I'm
92
00:06:47.149 --> 00:06:50.149
not a cat. I don't see
now. A year after this, her
93
00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:55.709
song juicy from her first album Amala, was remixed by the American Rapper Tiger
94
00:06:56.069 --> 00:07:00.269
and became her first hot one hundred
chart entry. This remix became the lead
95
00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:03.100
single for a second album, hot
pink. Also featured on this album was
96
00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:05.899
a song say so, and,
with the help of a viral trend on
97
00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:10.339
tick tock, this track became her
most successful song at the time, which
98
00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:23.730
led Dozia to start securing her place
in mainstream pop music. Okay, so
99
00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:27.689
let's snap to two thousand and twenty
one. Dog Kat has punctured public consciousness
100
00:07:27.769 --> 00:07:30.639
and fans are ready and excited for
a third studio album. In June this
101
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.480
year she dropped planet her, which
broke the record for the biggest opening day
102
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.040
for a female rap album on spotify. Dosia Kat said planet her is the
103
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.680
center of the universe, but all
races of space exist and it's where all
104
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.069
species can kind of be in harmony. This really reminds me of the meaning
105
00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:50.149
behind cold play and BTS's Song My
universe, which is released earlier this year.
106
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:56.389
Planet her owned Dozia Kut eight grammy
nominations and she has three pre release
107
00:07:56.389 --> 00:08:01.459
singles from the album. You rite
need to know and kiss me more like
108
00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:11.180
fuck, is something like the first
track on the album. Woman started gaining
109
00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:15.329
traction on tick tock a month after
it was released in August. This here
110
00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:18.209
when Tracy Joseph started a viral dance
trend to the song. And if you
111
00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:22.970
remember, this is the exact same
user who started the dance trend for CK's
112
00:08:22.089 --> 00:08:26.240
love nue tit, which led the
song to gaining global traction. I feel
113
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.839
like Tracy should be given a grammy
fall her work this year. Woman Rhanto
114
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.639
the hot one hundred after its tick
tock success thanks to Tracy, and Ja
115
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.840
Kat decided to release it as the
album's fourth single in October. The song
116
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.429
is a high energy afrobeat song about, you guessed it, being a woman,
117
00:08:41.830 --> 00:08:46.429
but it also references how the patriarchy
often pits girls against each other to
118
00:08:46.470 --> 00:08:48.429
compete for male attention. And I'll
be there for you because you want my
119
00:08:48.549 --> 00:08:52.429
teender. Don't ever think you were
headed. These NIGGAS Dream Girl. They
120
00:08:52.509 --> 00:08:54.309
want to put us against each other. What we succeed for no, Weize
121
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:56.700
is they want to see us in
a bank. weepoulgine. A mean though
122
00:08:56.820 --> 00:09:01.740
PSIs of each music video for the
album singles are based in different locations on
123
00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:05.980
the fictional planet her and woman is
no different. The music video stars choreographer
124
00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:09.610
Tiana Taylor, who was also the
star of Carne's music video free song,
125
00:09:09.730 --> 00:09:13.970
Fade. And I think what's extra
all about this music video for woman is
126
00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:18.690
that Dozia Kat partnered with girls who
code, giving fans the ability to edit
127
00:09:18.730 --> 00:09:24.919
the video using code and making it
the first ever codeable music video. Girls
128
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.639
who code is a non for profit
organization which aims to close the gender gap
129
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.799
in technology and inspire girls to work
in and learn about, computer science.
130
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.679
The collaboration with Doja Kat aims to
show girls the possibilities and creative side of
131
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.950
working in tech. I think that's
so cool of a way, but I
132
00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:46.470
never been with about everybody. She
can't so added to the TUNEY. Let
133
00:09:46.470 --> 00:09:50.830
us some Boe calling them maddy.
Let's try. The top trending tick tock
134
00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:54.659
track this week is an absolute banger. Own Brand freestyle by the UK rappers
135
00:09:54.700 --> 00:10:00.100
Draya Mac and Felix, the first
featuring finch fetty has had a millions of
136
00:10:00.340 --> 00:10:03.980
users dance to this song and billions
of users watching the videos. In just
137
00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:07.450
over a month. Since it was
released on October twenty nine, the song
138
00:10:07.570 --> 00:10:13.129
has kicked off a viral dance trend
resulting in two point one million videos published
139
00:10:13.409 --> 00:10:18.009
and nineteen point four billion views.
Just let that sink in for a minute.
140
00:10:18.049 --> 00:10:20.440
That is two and a half times
the population of the world. As
141
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.960
a result of this huge virality on
Ticktock, the song has led to almost
142
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.960
twelve million streams on spotify. It's
really interesting comparing this to the streaming success
143
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.440
of Abcdefu, which had a third
of the amount of videos created using the
144
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.870
song on ticktock but six times the
amount of streams on spotify. I reckon
145
00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:41.429
the popularity of punk music. Following
a live old Rodrigo this year has played
146
00:10:41.429 --> 00:10:46.070
a huge factor here. Felix the
first and Draya MAAC are both at the
147
00:10:46.110 --> 00:10:48.309
start of their mainstream music journeys,
and there's not really a lot of Info
148
00:10:48.350 --> 00:10:52.620
about Felix Online. The rabbit has
less than Twentyzeros follows on Instagram and twenty
149
00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:56.940
Fivezero followers on Ticktock, and own
brand, freestyle, is he second official
150
00:10:58.019 --> 00:11:01.340
release. Dray MAC has a bigger
profile, recently hitting one million followers on
151
00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:05.289
ticktock after own brand free style took
off. She grew up in west London
152
00:11:05.370 --> 00:11:09.529
with a passion for dancing and left
home at sixteen years old to pursue a
153
00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:13.690
career in the industry. She enrolled
at the Britt School of Performing Arts,
154
00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:16.490
following the lacks of amy winehouse and
a dull which helped her gain traction as
155
00:11:16.529 --> 00:11:20.480
a choreographer. She landed some big
gigs, appearing in ads for Cocacola and
156
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.960
HMM and also touring with read aura
and jewel leeper. From this experience and
157
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.360
she had a good sense of the
music industry. She said, I've seen
158
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.720
the behind the scenes. I've seen
what goes into the creative process of everything
159
00:11:33.029 --> 00:11:37.110
and the hard work that goes into
the end product. Her pivot from dance
160
00:11:37.190 --> 00:11:39.909
to wrap was pretty seamless. Her
intention was to make music she could dance
161
00:11:39.950 --> 00:11:43.990
to. Her First Song, skipping, was released at the start of the
162
00:11:43.029 --> 00:11:46.950
pandemic, in March two thousand and
twenty one, which gained some solid traction.
163
00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:50.899
If you caught up on my name
on my bill, up on my
164
00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:58.220
game, I'm alive on my side. With her background in professional choreography,
165
00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:01.210
drea visions the music video and dances
to the songs while she's producing and writing
166
00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:05.850
them. She said, when the
producers making the beat and I'm in here
167
00:12:05.929 --> 00:12:07.970
nodding my head and writing down lyrics, I can already see the whole piece,
168
00:12:09.409 --> 00:12:11.809
be that the stage show or the
music video. In less than two
169
00:12:11.809 --> 00:12:16.879
years, drea Mac made her mark
on the UK rap scene with seven singles
170
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.360
and one ep before releasing the global
hit own brand freestyle. Her perfect combination
171
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.519
of Grimy rap lyrics and professional choreography
has allowed her to leverage tick tock to
172
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.110
spread her sound globally. She said. Tick Tock is opened a huge opportunity
173
00:12:31.149 --> 00:12:35.110
for my music to be appreciated worldwide, but I think it's her work and
174
00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:41.110
personality that's allowed her to really leverage
the platform to its full potential. Cold
175
00:12:41.230 --> 00:12:52.860
Shiver frozen my fence. Wrapping up
this episode with our Song of the week,
176
00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:56.100
which is called river by the local
New South Wales Band West Wind.
177
00:12:56.779 --> 00:13:00.570
And before I even talk about how
good this song is, I just want
178
00:13:00.610 --> 00:13:03.409
to say I don't think I've ever
come across a bad song that refers to
179
00:13:03.450 --> 00:13:07.570
a river, river by Leon Bridges, river by Roberta Flak, take me
180
00:13:07.649 --> 00:13:11.090
to the river by Al Green.
I might make a river playlist. Actually,
181
00:13:11.330 --> 00:13:13.440
I'm a thousand percent sure there's one
already out there. If you've made
182
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.600
a river playlist and you're listening,
please add a river by West Wind.
183
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.559
This song is a melodic, chill, Dancy Bang up, perfect for a
184
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.240
sunny day in the park or floating
on a river. West wind are made
185
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.029
up of mark and drews, the
producer, Mitch Faiola on vocals, Mark
186
00:13:28.149 --> 00:13:33.029
Beasley on Bass and Zach Lucas on
keys. There's still a relatively undiscovered band
187
00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:37.990
with five hundred monthly listeners on spotify, but they have four singles, one
188
00:13:37.070 --> 00:13:41.379
EP and the debut studio album visions
of her on their discography, all with
189
00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:46.700
great, smooth, uplifting songs.
So there's heaps to discover there. That
190
00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:50.019
is all for stream state. This
week add river by West winds or summer
