Music relieves me when I'm stressed. But of course, it depends on the kind of music I listen to. By the way, I am back on this challenge and I am already on letter "H".

Hanson

Back in 1997, Hanson is one of the pop acts, along with the Spice Girls and other boybands, who are credited for changing the pop landscape. Their song "Mmmbop" became a global hit as it reached number 1 in several countries. The "one hit wonder" status in the US was broken when "I Will Come to You" went number 9 on Billboard Hot 100. Their album "Middle of Nowhere" went to number 2, and it went 4x platinum. However, the trio can be considered as "one album wonder" with subsequent studio albums not performing well when it comes to sales.

Harry Styles

Harry Styles is currently one of the top artists after the success of "Fine Line" album, which went 2x platinum in the US, and featured the Billboard top 10 hits "Adore You" and "Watermelon Sugar". His first album "Sign of the Times" went number 1 in several countries including US and UK. He first achieved fame being a member of the biggest boyband of their time, One Direction.

Hayley Williams

Hayley Williams is known as the front woman of the band Paramore. The band achieved some success from the emo era, and even to their cross over to pop. As a solo artist, she was featured on the hit songs "Stay the Night" by Zedd and "Airplanes" by B.O.B. She released two solo albums since 2020, and a number of extended plays. It seems Hayley's solo attempt is quite late. She might have been a popular solo artist then but she has chosen to stick with her band.

Halsey

Halsey had the number 2 album "Badlands", which went 2x platinum, and eventually bece more known when featured on The Chainsmokers song "Closer". She scored her first number 1 album "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom" which scored the top 5 hit "Bad at Love". Her first solo single was "Without Me" from the number 2 album "Manic". Her new album "If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power" debuted at number 2 on Billboard 200.

Happy Nation

"Happy Nation" is the first album of Ace of Base, which had the US release entitled as "The Sign". The album became a big hit with estimated sales of 21 million copies, and it featured the hit singles such as "The Sign", "All that She Wants", and "Don't Turn Around". Ace of Base released subsequent albums and had some hit singles too.

High Voltage

"High Voltage" is the album from AC/DC, and it was their first international album. It was very successful when it reached 3x platinum in the US. However, the band's biggest selling album was "Back in Black" which has sales estimates of around 50 million copies worldwide.

Hot Shot

"Hot Shot" is the album of Shaggy released in 2000, however, it achieved success in 2001. It is actually one of the biggest selling albums that year. It featured the hits "It Wasn't Me" and "Angel", and both songs went to number 1 in several countries worldwide.

Halo

"Halo" is a song by Beyonce from her third album "I Am... Sasha Fierce". The song had a slow rise to the charts, and peaked at number 5 in the US, and number 4 in UK. It became a big seller eventually due to its popularity in the internet.

Heartbreaker

"Heartbreaker" is a song by Mariah Carey, and was the lead single of the album "Rainbow". The song gave Mariah Carey another Billboard number 1, which was followed by "Thank God I Found You". The music video of the song became popular which Mariah has portrayed two characters.

Happier

I knew at least three songs which was released during the recent years with the title "Happier". The first one is from Ed Sheeran for his "÷" (Divide) album, which became a UK top 10 hit. The next one is from Marshmello which became a top 10 hit in many countries. Olivia Rodrigo also has a "Happier" song from her hit album "Sour".
