Please, help me with some words!

Hi!

Please, what's the meaning of the following underlined parts?

- "...spine-tingling breakdowns";
- "The many high profile gigs";
- "...his latest album sky rocketed to the highest positions in today's charts";
- "Love Stoned" (title of a song of Justin Timberlake);
- "...he makes it look easy as 10 years down the line his productions consistently bother the charts and frequently reach number one around Europe."
- "He died on December 6, AD 343."

Many thanks,
Mya

spine-tingling - something very exciting breakdown - when a car stops running suddenly and leaves you in the middle of nowhere. People can have a mental breakdown - meaning that they become very sick and irrational sky rocketed -go up and up and up very fast (like a rocket going to the sky) Stoned - in a mental state under the influence of drugs (high). down the line - later AD 343 - AD stands for anno domini (the year of the Lord), it means the year Christ was born.

Hello, Alphecca Stars

Many thanks for helping me . By the way how about "gigs" and "today's charts" (referring to music)?

Best wishes,

gigs - jobs, venues, performances, appointments to perform

A musical group makes its living through performances at various locations. Each performance at a given location is called a gig. The more gigs you play, the more money you make.
chart - published list of songs or albums ranked in order of popularity as measured by sales.
