Katy Perry holds strong at the top this week, while Flume and Beck’s Tiny Cities becomes the first top 10 debut since past #1 Tal’s Slow Down the Flow. It enters this week at #7. It’s one of only two additions to the top 10 this week; Calvin Harris and Frank Ocean’s Slide being the other, as it moves up to #10. Derulo and Minaj’s ‘hot mess’ Swalla makes it to #2, Lana enters the top 5, and Una Healy also manages a staggering second week in the top 5, ascending this week to #4. Take that, Mollie! Also, notching up his seventh week running, Sage the Gemini becomes my longest-runner with Now or Later.

This week sees another bunch of new entries in the lower reaches. Only two, Alina Baraz, and Gavin Turek – who is surprisingly a woman – manage top 20 debuts, taking the last two positions respectively. There’s some well-known names and some newer names from the rest, including Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Weeknd, and Lorde. Check the big list and the next post, with links and write-up on each new entry, for more detail there. Or try my weekly A-List playlist (linked below) on Spotify for a quick listen!
