Off The Charts 06 is here! This week we have fresh hits from the radio charts!
Attention was released earlier this year as a single from Charlie Puths upcoming second studio album Voicenotes and has been the most successful song for Puth to date. It went to #1 on several charts in half a dozen countries and is in the top 10 of charts in over 20 countries total. Vocals will be extremely tough on this dulcet pop tune. What may seem like a laid-back melody really just demonstrate Puths wide vocal range. There are sweet harmonies mixed in as well. Bass has a funk groove that moves through the neck. Guitar alternates between staccato melodic picking and light rhythmic comping. Drums maintain a relaxed beat throughout the song.
Speeding up the tempo a bit, we turn to Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato. The song went to #1 in the US and Belgium, charted in the top 10 in over a dozen countries, and is certified double platinum in the US and Canada. Lovato's performance gives us a carefree, lighthearted take on a revenge song. Her pop vocals will definitely be tough; there are fast rhythms with tons of movement throughout the song. The rhythm section grooves on the pop chord changes, heating up when the choruses break.
Thunder is the second single off Imagine Dragons third studio album Evolve released this past spring. Since then, the song hit #1 across 4 different Billboard charts and has made significant waves globally. It has gone double and triple platinum in 4 countries while holding platinum in every other country its certified. This song immediately makes you move. Drums and bass are the solid foundation in this song keeping the beat and groove going. Vocals have some fun with rich harmonies and guitar takes a nice outro solo.
Feel It Still by Portugal. The Man is a testament to old musical styles that has empowered the group and other artists today. It harnesses a '60s psychedelic pop vibe meshed with a funk groove. The song hit #1 on several different US charts and broke the record for the longest stay as #1 song on the US Alternative Songs chart. Its certified platinum and gold in 10 countries. The song revolves around an extremely fun groove to play on bass and drums. Vocals sing sweetly over the top with guitar layered accenting the groove with fills.
