Hozier found massive success with his viral hit “Too Sweet”, and managed to top the charts around the world – including the US. After steadily climbing up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “Too Sweet” finally hit No. 1 this week, becoming his first single to do so.

“Too Sweet” managed to reach to top of the summit after attracting 35.6 million streams, 14.1 million radio airplay audience impressions, and selling 6,000 copies during its latest week on the chart. It initially debuted at No. 5 following its release on March 22, becoming his second song to reach the top ten following his breakout hit “Take Me to Church”.

“Too Sweet” has been slowly climbing up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but it already hit No. 1 in several other countries in the meantime. It became Hozier’s first chart-topping single in the UK and also climbed to No. 1 in Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.

Hozier, who’s currently touring the world with his latest album Unreal Unearth, thanked fans for the outpouring of love he received since releasing “Too Sweet”.

“I’ve been both thrilled and taken massively by surprise by such a staggering reaction. It means the world that you’re enjoying this song so much. Thank you all so much,” he said in a video on Instagram.

After a lot of anticipation, Taylor Swift finally dropped her album The Tortured Poets Department this Friday, but this wasn’t the only new release that caught our eye. Check out our list of the best new songs of the week to discover new music by Pearl Jam, Hozier, and Kings of Lion.

No album this week created more commotion than Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets and its companion piece The Anthology. She’s given us 16 new songs on the standard edition and 31 in total, but “So Long, London” is definitely her strongest new release.

This Friday was pretty slow for new releases because most artists wanted to avoid competing with Swift. That didn’t stop Pearl Jam from sharing their long-awaited album Dark Matter, which produced several amazing songs, including “Wreckage”.

The lack of major releases helped our favorite indie and international artists shine, and make it to our list of the best new songs of the week. Hozier’s “Why Would You Be Loved” is definitely worth listening to on repeat, and so are the latest singles by Rachel Chinouriri, Debbii Dawson, Kings of Leon, Kate Nash, and more.

Taylor Swift – “So Long, London”

Hozier – “Why Would You Be Loved”

Pearl Jam – “Wreckage”

Debbii Dawson – “Happy World”

Rachel Chinouriri – “It Is What It Is”

Sia – “Fame Won’t Love You” (feat. Paris Hilton)

Kings Of Leon – “Nothing To Do”

Cigarettes After S-x – “Dark Vacay”

Kate Nash – “Space Odyssey 2001”

Kygo, Zak Abel – “For Life” ft. Nile Rodgers

Hozier made quite a splash with his latest single “Too Sweet”, and this song is slowly overtaking the charts all around the world. Hozier’s viral hit reached No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart in the UK, becoming his first single to top the charts in this country.

“Too Sweet” soared to the top with 61,000 chart units and 6.7 million streams during its latest week on the chart. This is his second song to make it to the top ten in the UK, following his breakout single “Take Me To Church”, which peaked at No. 2 in 2014.

Hozier was overwhelmed by the unexpected success of “Too Sweet” and thanked the fans who helped this song soar to new heights.

“Enormous thank you to everyone in the UK for all their support. I was taken aback by the response for Too Sweet and am thrilled people are enjoying it. Looking forward to being back in July for the upcoming shows!” said Hozier in a statement to Official Charts.

“Too Sweet” was released as one of the songs from the singer’s new EP Unheard, which serves as a companion piece to his latest studio album Unreal Earth. It also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart and reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Hozier’s second single in the top ten in the U.S.

Hozier’s new song “Too Sweet” became a surprise hit on social media, and it just achieved a milestone only one of his songs managed to reach in the past. It debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his first song since “Take Me to Church” to make it to the top ten.

“Too Sweet” hit the shelves on March 22, as one of the four songs on Hozier’s new EP Unheard. According to the singer’s statement, this body of work consists of songs “that might’ve made it to the circles of gluttony, limbo, violence, and the outward ‘ascent’… but could not for different reasons,” referring to his latest studio album Unreal Unearth, which drew inspiration from Dante’s Inferno.

“Too Sweet” managed to attract 28.8 million streams, 268,000 in airplay audience, and 4,000 in sales during its first week on the chart, debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It became his second top-ten song on the Hot 100 nearly a decade after his breakout hit “Take Me to Church”, which peaked at No. 2 in 2014.

As for the rest of the Billboard Hot 100 for this week, Future and Metro Boomin hit No. 1 with their latest collaboration “Like That” ft. Kendrick Lamar. Five songs from their album We Don’t Trust You made it to the top ten, including “Type S–T” ft. Travis Scott and Playboi Carti at No. 2.

Amazing new tracks emerge every week, fighting for a spot in our hearts, and on our list of the best songs of the week. This week has certainly given us several worthy contenders, including new music by Hozier, Brandi Carlile, Usher, Reneé Rapp, and many more of our favorite artists.

Some of the week’s best new songs hail from newly released albums, starting with Hozier’s Unreal Unearth. Several of the songs from this LP were previously released as singles or featured on his EP Eat You Young, but the album itself gave us several amazing new songs, including “Damage Gets Done” ft. Brandi Carlile.

This week also marked the release of Reneé Rapp’s debut studio album Snow Angel, accompanied by the music video for “Pretty Girls”. Jon Batiste’s new album also made it to our list, and “Uneasy” ft. Lil Wayne is one of its most notable standouts.

When it comes to the viral hits for this week, Usher’s “Boyfriend” certainly created the most buzz online—mostly thanks to its Las Vegas-set music video starring Keke Palmer.

The rest of our list for this week features an interesting mix of different genres, including new music by Anitta, Charlie Puth, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The National, Jessie Reyez, and many more.

Hozier & Brandi Carlile – “Damage Gets Done”

Over the course of the past decade, Hozier established himself as one of the most intriguing artists on the modern indie scene. The mix of his soulful voice and poetic lyricism carried him a long way, and his latest album Unreal Earth is another showcase of his brilliance.

It’s been a decade since Hozier broke into the scene with his soul-stirring smash hit “Take Me To Church”. Its chart-topping success was difficult to repeat for an artist who seemed more concerned with creating a body of work with an emotional and philosophical depth than recording radio hits, and Unreal Earth carried him in the same direction.

Hozier’s EP Eat Your Young served as an interlude for his third studio album, and introduced us to its first two singles “Eat Your Young” and “All Things End”. The entire album clocks at 62 minutes and features 16 tracks, but you never want it to stop because they offer a perfect balance between stripped-back tunes that Hozier is best known for and up-tempo folk-pop and indie-rock songs, which see him toying with new sounds.

Hozier wrote most of Unreal Earth during the COVID-19 pandemic and themed it around the idea of the nine circles of Hell from Dante’s Inferno. His poetic lyricism seeps through in every song, and its roots in classic literature are evident from the first two tracks “De Selby (Part 1/2)”, inspired by Flann O’Brien’s The Third Policeman.

Unreal Earth doesn’t lack piano ballads, but he also impressed us with several high-energy songs, starting with “De Selby (Part 2)”. His Brandi Carlile collaboration “Damage Gets Done” continues this trend, and so does Afrobeat-inspired “Anything But”.

Hozier managed to push his music to thrilling new spaces on Unreal Earth, giving us another gem in his discography. His vocals are stronger than ever, but the poetic lyrics are the album’s shining light, exploring a dark emotional world, without ever feeling too heavy.

Hozier gave us some amazing new music with his EP Eat Your Young earlier this year, but this record only served as an intro for his highly-anticipated third studio album Unreal Unearth.

Ashnikko – Weedkiller (August 25)

Hozier has been teasing his next studio album for quite some time and he finally made things official. The singer announced the release of Unreal Unearth, his first album in four years, and revealed it would hit the shelves this summer.

Hozier took to social media to share the cover of his new album, which shows his smiling face, buried under the layers of dirt. The singer said his new album will find its way to us “after a journey of some years” on August 18.

“I’m proud of this record and enjoyed watching it come to life over the past year. Thank you as always for your support and patience while it was coming to fruition, it’s my great pleasure to share with you the release date at long last,” he wrote on Instagram.

This announcement comes just two months after the singer dropped his EP Eat Your Young, which featured three songs: “Eat Your Young”, “All Things End”, and “Through Me (The Flood)”. He revealed this EP will be followed by a full album later this summer, and he’s now making good on that promise.

Unreal Unearth will be Hozier’s first studio album in four years, since the release of his sophomore LP Wasteland, Baby! which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart in 2019.

Hozier’s Poetic Brilliance Shines Brighter Than Ever on “Unreal Earth” https://hotpoptoday.com/hoziers-poetic-brilliance-shines-brighter-than-ever-on-unreal-earth/ Sun, 20 Aug 2023 06:12:00 +0000 https://hotpoptoday.com/?p=12072 Over the course of the past decade, Hozier established himself as one of the most intriguing artists on the modern indie scene.

Over the course of the past decade, Hozier established himself as one of the most intriguing artists on the modern indie scene. The mix of his soulful voice and poetic lyricism carried him a long way, and his latest album Unreal Earth is another showcase of his brilliance.

It’s been a decade since Hozier broke into the scene with his soul-stirring smash hit “Take Me To Church”. Its chart-topping success was difficult to repeat for an artist who seemed more concerned with creating a body of work with an emotional and philosophical depth than recording radio hits, and Unreal Earth carried him in the same direction.

Hozier’s EP Eat Your Young served as an interlude for his third studio album, and introduced us to its first two singles “Eat Your Young” and “All Things End”. The entire album clocks at 62 minutes and features 16 tracks, but you never want it to stop because they offer a perfect balance between stripped-back tunes that Hozier is best known for and up-tempo folk-pop and indie-rock songs, which see him toying with new sounds.

Hozier wrote most of Unreal Earth during the COVID-19 pandemic and themed it around the idea of the nine circles of Hell from Dante’s Inferno. His poetic lyricism seeps through in every song, and its roots in classic literature are evident from the first two tracks “De Selby (Part 1/2)”, inspired by Flann O’Brien’s The Third Policeman.

Unreal Earth doesn’t lack piano ballads, but he also impressed us with several high-energy songs, starting with “De Selby (Part 2)”. His Brandi Carlile collaboration “Damage Gets Done” continues this trend, and so does Afrobeat-inspired “Anything But”.

Hozier managed to push his music to thrilling new spaces on Unreal Earth, giving us another gem in his discography. His vocals are stronger than ever, but the poetic lyrics are the album’s shining light, exploring a dark emotional world, without ever feeling too heavy.

Hozier has been teasing his next studio album for quite some time and he finally made things official. The singer announced the release of Unreal Unearth, his first album in four years, and revealed it would hit the shelves this summer.

Hozier took to social media to share the cover of his new album, which shows his smiling face, buried under the layers of dirt. The singer said his new album will find its way to us “after a journey of some years” on August 18.

“I’m proud of this record and enjoyed watching it come to life over the past year. Thank you as always for your support and patience while it was coming to fruition, it’s my great pleasure to share with you the release date at long last,” he wrote on Instagram.

This announcement comes just two months after the singer dropped his EP Eat Your Young, which featured three songs: “Eat Your Young”, “All Things End”, and “Through Me (The Flood)”. He revealed this EP will be followed by a full album later this summer, and he’s now making good on that promise.

Unreal Unearth will be Hozier’s first studio album in four years, since the release of his sophomore LP Wasteland, Baby! which debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart in 2019.
