A man with serious momentum

Ireland's Hozier is no stranger to the stage. He spent a whole lot of time in the chorus of the long-running, high-stepping Irish extravaganza, Riverdance. Now the tall lad with the massive voice is bringing his particular brand of blues to the world stage with nary a high kick in sight. He's already done Letterman, so you know his star is on the rise. "Take Me to Church" is the name of the tune that is rocketing up the Radio 2 Top 20 chart.

Here he is getting romantic, the tune is "Eden."


David Gray, this week's hot shooter

Everyone likes the comeback kid, and David Gray is all about triumphant comebacks. The singer-songwriter took a three-year hiatus after almost a decade of musical ups and downs. "Back in the World" jumped eight spots this week and enters the top 10. He dropped into Q last week, and here's a bit of that session.


Searchlight champion

CBC Searchlight winner Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk enter the Radio 2 Top 20 for the first time, with the song "I Lost Myself." Woohoo! Check them out!
