Hi Lenny

Great choice of #1! The vocals and the music really work well together!

Great to see Solo Dance equal its peak - a great song, my faovurite of his so far!

Nice to see It Ain't Me enter the Top 40 as well! It is wearing off on me a little now...

Great chart

Hi Lenny! Didn't notice you had a personal chart before. You have a Hot 200 though and I thought me having a weekly Hot 100 was long enough

Really enjoy all three songs of your top three, 'Solo Dance' in particular is a J A M.

Not big on the Steps song but it was good to hear it in the chart, sounds very out of place amongst the rest of the chart though

good chart!

Hiya Lenny!

Big fan of your top 2, Martin Jensen in particular!

A great moment when Steps got another UK top 40 hit against all expectations last week.

Also great tracks here: Alone, Scared To Be Lonely, Falling, I Feel It Coming & Tuesday

Fun chart

Hi Lenny,

Nice jump for Lorde

Everydays' video is fun

Believer getting stuck

Nice to see Alone in a chart

It's awesome seeing Castle On The Hill higher in a chart

Helluh Pete, thanks for commenting!

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay, out of the blue and it so works!

"Solo Dance" has been rapidly climbing my chart for a number of weeks, nice to see it doing the same in the UK now.

"It Ain't Me" is growing on me (as the climbing would suggest) - still not massively sold on it yet. I keep getting mixed up between it and the Zedd/Alessa collab in my head... they seem to merge into one until I listen to them.

Hi Dan - thank you for commenting!

Yep - top 200 - it might sound odd but it's easier to maintain than a top 100 (or even less) because of the ridiculous amount of music there is around these days. I like to keep abreast of everything that is out if I can...!

The Steps song does sound very out of place - everyone's going nuts for it the place I DJ at so I haven't been able to escape it. Although I'm not complaining personally, I unashamedly am loving it

Hello Dobbo! Thank you for commenting.

Glad to see you're enjoying "Alone" and "Tuesday" - not really taken off at all in the UK but personally I'm very much enjoying them. It's odd how well "Faded" did yet "Alone" can't even break the chart whatsoever here...

Hello - thank you for commenting!

Lorde's new one is definitely a grower, wasn't too sure at first but really enjoying it now.

The video for "Everyday" is pretty much what grabbed my attention - total wtf moment haha - not sure I'm massively enamoured with the song though... so it may not climb any further.

I really loved Imagine Dragons first material and enjoyed the singles from the second album, "Believer" is decent but sounds very much geared towards a movie or an advert so to listen to as a song doesn't quite feel like listening to their best tracks. Still enjoyable enough and number 21 isn't too bad really in a top 200!
