Topic

They run in the same orbit as twocolors, Alok, Robin Schulz, Jax Jones and Nathan Dawe, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into MASN, Becky Hill, Sigala, Clean Bandit and Mabel, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 41 connections around Topic, reaching back through ATB and forward to MASN.
