New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Continuing a breakthrough 2018, multiplatinum 5x BRIT Award-nominated artist
Anne-Marie hits radio this week with her new single "2002." Arriving hot on the heels of
Marshmello and Anne-Marie's inescapable RIAA gold-certified smash "FRIENDS", all signs point to "2002" becoming the song of the summer. Co-written with Ed Sheeran, the track's sunny acoustic guitars, finger-snaps, and sweetly nostalgic chorus culled from turn-of-the-century radio staples has enchanted both fans and critics alike. Spotify streams exceeds 148 million, while the video has clocked 69 million views to date. An acoustic duet performance of "2002" by the songstress and Sheeran also leapt past the 12 million mark in less than a week.
"2002" was declared a song of summer contender by The Today Show, while People dubbed it, "a nostalgia-fueled millennial dream" and Billboard called it "an upbeat love song." Rolling Stone also featured "2002" on their summer playlist. Further critical acclaim has come from Time, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, and Paper who named her among "100 Women Revolutionizing Pop."
At the same time, "FRIENDS" simultaneously shows no signs of stopping or slowing down. It recently achieved a gold certification and is closing in on half-a-billion Spotify streams. Official video views of "FRIENDS" have surpassed half a billion views. The track marked an international breakthrough moment for
