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
