Chart Commentary

"After a successful return for the Top 40 Countdown by awardinary last week, it is with pleasure that the chart continues to run for a second consecutive week (following a failed attempt at the start of 2020). There were a total of 6 changes to the chart this week which I’ll go on to detail below.

Firstly, may I say thank you to the following 7 people who viewed and commented on my personal chart last week: James Frost ☃️, dancemberlexa, PeteFromLeeds, Sergej, Klumpus, fAddytale of NYC and Slade. Responses to your comments are in the below post.

This week sees Shane Codd retain his place at #1 after many listens during the week. Moving up to second is RAYE’s collaboration with Rudimental. There are also entries climbing into the Top 10 this week from Tiësto, Disciples and Eric Prydz. NOPUS is this week’s Track Of The Week.

Elsewhere in this weeks chart we have new entries from High Contrast, Diplo & Sonny Fodera, Ava Max, The Weeknd, Harry Styles and Tones & I.

The biggest climber comes from Eric Prydz, up 9 places, whereas the biggest faller acolyte unfortunately goes to Felix Jaehn who has slipped out of the Top 40 this week, dropping 20 places this week.

It is already time for departures from Icona Pop & Sofi Tukker, Felix Jaehn, Zhu, 220 Kid & JC Stewart, Robin Schulz and Inner City & Idris Elba. Though it should be pointed out that had this personal chart ran for longer in 2020, these tracks would have had a much longer chart run.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my personal chart this week. Comments are welcomed of course, and I hope I can make time to take a look at your personal charts also both for future inspiration and to acknowledge your hard work at putting it together too! "

Track Of The Week

Hi James!

I did indeed used to post a personal chart! I got lazy I guess and stopped a while back but I tried restarting earlier this year without a successive week. This time though I feel I will make a real go at it!

Glad you like some of my entries, and as for Paloma Faith, I can reveal that Gold is in my playlist and could make an appearance here soon.

Thank you for your comment!

Hi Dan!

Thanks for welcoming me back and for checking out my playlists too..

I hope you can come round to enjoying Shane Codd’s track soon, but you’ve picked out many, many songs in my chart that you’re a fan of, so I’m pleased to see that the majority meets your approval!

Thank you for your comment!

Hi Pete!

It certainly is refreshing to see new dance producers making it on the mainstream platforms and achieving commercial success.

Glad to know you’ve charted some of these songs in the past too!

Thank you for your comment!

Hi Sergej!

Wow you like so many songs in my personal chart!

Thank you for your comment!

Hi Patrick!

Pleased to know KC Lights made an appearance in your chart recently too! Hopefully Eric Prydz can break into your chart shortly also.

Thanks for sharing your love of many of the tracks in my chart!

Thank you for your comment!

Hi Addy!

Looking forward to seeing where Shane Codd debuts in your chart this week!

Thank you for your comment!

Hi Jade!

Thanks for the warm welcome back! This place really does seem to be buzzing with activity right now which is great to see!

Glad you’re enjoying such a great selection of pop and dance music too, and I enjoyed checking out your personal chart last week on Spotify!

Thank you for your comment!

Omg I missed including Shane Codd in my chart this week lmao...but I definitely added officially on my Spotify playlist so it won't happen the same next week

Amazing chart Andrew and I need to listen to Tiesto, Diplo and Prydz songs since usually I am a fan of theirs!!!

Posted by: James Frost ☃️ 5th December 2020, 10:00 AM

Hey Wardy!

Get Out any Head with another week at #1 yay! I love it. It will be added to my rotative playlist for charting on Wednesday ednesdsy it's a shame it seems to be going the wrong way officially but hopefully after Xmas it can climb back up the chart.
Yay for Regardless. It's a great track. Loving the use of the sample.
Space is climbing yass. It's such a bop. It's a shame it didn't really do anything officially on the charts. It's so radio friendly!
My Head & My Heart is quite good (for Ava Max at least.) The sample i love of course, but the actual song itself isn't bit bland?
What on earth is happening with Sweet Melody? I'm not here for this sort of naff chart run

Fantastic chart!

Hey there Wardy!
Nice to see "The Business" and "NOPUS" in the top 10!
From your debuts, I like "Rhythm Is Changing", "Golden" and "Fly Away"!
Great chart!

First time popping into comment on your chart! Lots I recognize from the dance playlists on Spotify

1. Shane Codd – Get Out My Head [1-1->2] Really underrated Just entered my chart this week but it could challenge for a top 10 peak in coming weeks
2. RAYE & Rudimental – Regardless [4-2->2] Have been over playing this a bit! The Rapture sample somehow works and doesn't bug me like a sample usually would
3. KC Lights – Girl [2-3->2]
4. Jax Jones & Au/Ra – i miss u [5-4->2] I got bored of this after 2 plays oops. This sound is so overdone at the moment
5. Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby – Levitating [6-5->2] Future top 3 or chart topper pls
6. Bicep – Saku [3-6->2]
7. Bicep – Apricots [7-7->2]
9. Disciples – I Got You [14-9->2]
10. Eric Prydz – NOPUS [19-10->2] — BIGGEST CLIMBER
11. Paul Woolford & Diplo feat. Kareen Lomax – Looking For Me [13-11->2]
13. CamelPhat feat. LOWES – Easier [11-13->2] Love this, preferring the gorgeous Carry Me Away feat Jem Cooke a lot more though. (Another sampling done right)
14. Pax & Gorgon City – Alive [8-14->2]
18. MK feat. Carla Monroe – 2AM [9-18->2]
19. Noizu – Summer 91 [10-19->2]
21. Becky Hill & Sigala – Heaven On My Mind [24-21->2]
24. London Grammar – Baby It's You [Kolsch Remix] [25-24->2] Nice to see another fan of this version! It peaked at #5 on my chart. The Maya Jane Coles remix of Californian Soil is quite nice too!
27. Ava Max – My Head & My Heart [27->1]
30. John Summit & Guz – Thin Line [29-30->2]
34. Loud Luxury & Morgan St. Jean – Aftertaste [31-34->2]
36. Diplo & SIDEPIECE – On My Mind [35-36->2]

great to see Tiësto and especially Eric Prydz climb into the top 10 this week!
hopefully Raye & Not Regard can overtake Shane Codd next week as I prefer their song.
my fave new entry here is Diplo/Sonny Fodera. Sonny was once a former BJSC entrant of mine so seeing him now get collabs with MK and Diplo is impressive.
I also like the High Contrast, The Weeknd and Tones & I entries.
great chart!

How good is the new material by Bicep - deservedly high in your chart!!

Posted by: Road Salt Mixer 10th December 2020, 08:12 PM

I like that Shane Codd track, it has a little bit of a nostalgic 00s clubland feel to it, the bit just before the chorus/drop reminds me of Cahill's Trippin On You a bit.

The Business is a bit basic production wise but it is still a good track in a similar style to Meduza, and better than the latest single from Meduza themselves, agree with danG that Paradise was a bit of a disappointment.

Too Much is a good dance track which has been underappreciated sadly. More Life and Step It Up I am not bored of yet, two of the dance tracks of the year for me, I assume Step It Up would have been higher in your chart if you would have started it a few months ago, its all about The Answer (with Chris Lake) now from Armand now, I think that might become bigger than Step It Up.
