The Kid Laroi Tops Apple Music Chart 2022

APPLE MUSIC GLOBAL SONG CHART
Apple Music has released its 2022 global song chart, and an Aussie has topped the list! There's also a growing number of non-English language tunes included in this year's mix. This song by Aussie Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber topped Apple Music's global song chart this year after staying number one for 51 days straight. It also hit that number one spot in 69 countries!

Other tunes sliding into the top 10 are As It Was by Harry Styles, Adele's Easy on me, and Heat Wave by Glass Animals. And nope not all of those tracks were released this year. Apparently people still have their favourite tracks from 2020 and 2021 on repeat including this one from the movie Encanto! It was the song with the most-read lyrics this year. Uh maybe I should go look them up.

Hip Hop was the most popular genre across the Top 100. While twenty-one non-English speaking songs were also up there - doubling the number from last year. Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny was one of them, he was named Artist of the Year.

Apple isn't the only music streaming platform to do an end of year wrap up but it does have the biggest number of songs hitting the 100 million record this year.

CHINA SPACE MISSION
China's launched three astronauts on a mission to its space station. The rocket blasted off from a site in the Gobi desert. The crew will live at the station for six months turning it into a fully operational base. It's about a quarter of the size of the International Space Station. The mission was the last one needed to assemble the station and is expected to operate for around a decade and run experiments in near-zero gravity. 

SENSORY POD
The Adelaide 500 is right around the corner! You're about to hear from one 12 year old who's played a big role in creating a special space at the event. Nash is 12. He's a big racing fan and he also has autism. He says he can get a little overwhelmed by the loud noises from the cars. But a little while ago, Nash was asked by the state government what he would do if he were the Premier. And he came up with a pretty cool idea. He jumped at the idea of creating a dedicated sensory space at the Adelaide 500. And now, government's made his dream a reality. 

PEDAL POWERED TREE
A Christmas tree that lights up using pedal power! Yes, this specially modified bicycle in the Hungarian town of Budapest has been installed as part of a local initiative to save money. You really have to put your back into it though. By installing this bike, instead of their regular Christmas decorations, the mayor reckons the town's been able to save around 95 thousand dollars!

CAMEL PAGEANT
Now to Qatar, but not for the world cup! There's a camel beauty pageant underway! Camels are judged on their shape, size, and proportions. Like, if their ears are drooping down a certain way, or how curved their mouths are. And also, which one can produce the most milk.

GINGERBREAD VILLAGE
And finally, to the US, where one artist is attempting to break the world record for the largest gingerbread town. He's actually already the world record holder for the gingerbread town with the most houses, but this time, he wants to win the record for the largest town by surface area. After it gets judged, he plans to give his gingerbread town away, to whoever wants a piece!
