Dexton's Top 40 (14/08/2018) (Week 66)



Howdy Welcome back to the actual commentary this week, which may or may not continue next week. Rising up to the top spot this week is Benny Blanco's Eastside featuring Khalid & Halsey (3-1) which has given Khalid his second #1 hit. His first #1 was on Marshmello's Silence late last year, who would later go on to gain his second #1 with Friends in February this year, but more interesting is the fact that both of Khalid's #1s have been as features - something which no other artist has managed on my chart. Hilltop Hoods' Clark Griswold featuring Adrian Eagle (1-2) and Drake's In My Feelings (2-3) complete the reshuffled Top 3.

Jax Jones has earned his highest charting single to date with Ring Ring featuring Mabel & Rich The Kid (10-4), following on from Instruction featuring Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don (#7). I forgot about Breathe feauturing Ina Wroldsen (#2) BROCKHAMPTON actually have earned their highest charting single though with 1999 WILDFIRE (28-5) soaring up the chart in a climb you'd think belonged to a Panic! At The Disco single. Elsewhere in the Top 10 we have Panic! spending what could maybe be a record-breaking 11 weeks inside the Top 10, and Juice WRLD finally climbing beyond #14 with Lucid Dreams (14-10) becoming his only Top 10 hit to date.

Nicki Minaj accounts for 2 of this weeks 5 new entries: Barbie Dreams (#7) and Majesty featuring Eminem & Labrinth (#17). Both of these songs (and probable future singles) come from Nicki's fourth studio album, Queen, which was surpassed both Drake and Panic! in my album chart and debuted at #1 (and yes, that is with the album chart being compiled by playcount so an impressive feat considering she's only had 4 days)! I do wish the fake romance between Nicki & Eminem had been fleshed out for longer though, could've been some decent promo Other new entries include Why Don't We's debut chart entry Talk (#33), Emma Blackery's Take Me Out (#38), and Zayn's Too Much featuring Timbaland (#40). Emma Blackery follows on from her Top 10 hit Agenda just weeks from the release of her debut album, and Zayn is returning to the chart for the first time since his Top 3 single Dusk Til Dawn featuring Sia. Timbaland is also a surprise appearance here who I think has only appeared on my chart before with a production credit on Justin Timberlake's Filthy (#1). If this were 2008 then he'd probably have credit to 2 dozen other hits on my chart but alas his relevance has long since passed :')

A$AP Rocky will surely be praising the lord along with Skepta who have both just grabbed their first Top 20 hits, Praise The Lord (Da Shine) (32-18). KYLE's Playinwitme featuring Kehlani has finished playing around the Top 20 and finally gives Kehlani her second Top 20 hit, after Calvin Harris' Faking It featuring Kehlani & Lil Yachty made it to #3 after the release of Calvin's Funk Wav Bounces Vol.1. Calvin is rumoured to have a single with Ina Wroldsen on the horizon - will it give him his second #1 hit of the year?

I don't normally comment on songs leaving the chart but this week marks the departure of George Ezra's Shotgun. Shotgun made chart history as the longest-running song to have ever been here, spending a grand total of 20 weeks on the chart! Helped immensely by being the most instant album track from George's album and then being pushed as a single just as it was on the brink of falling out of the chart. Shotgun soon propelled back up the chart and gave George his second #1 here! Before Shotgun came Paradise, which spent a whopping 4 weeks at #1 and to date is one of only 3 songs to have spent over 3 weeks at the top (with Rita Ora's Anywhere and Justin Timberlake's Filthy). George Ezra's reign of 24 consecutive weeks on the chart ends this week, but he is still Top 5 in the albums chart!

Speaking of... Nicki Minaj's Queen debuts at the top against all odds in an otherwise uneventful week all around. Jon Bellion's The Human Condition spends a second week at #10 - a boring chart event, yes, but just you wait until the king releases his new single...

Thanks for coming, and happy Buzzrate Day Make sure to stay out of the drama kids
