So kicking off our next section, we have five top 10 hits and more long runners with lower peaks

I was originally gonna split this into two sections of the 5 T10 hits and the 5 non T10 hits but let's play a connection game

In this section we have Dua Lipa, who collaborated with Sean Paul, who collaborated with Clean Bandit. And we also have entries from Camila and Quavo who have collaborated together before. Kiss And Make Up was Dua's 2nd biggest hit from the deluxe version of her smash album (which included two number one's, one of which is coming up in the next section) and is a complete bop and pop anthem. It's also BLACKPINK's 2nd hit yet after As If It's Your Last which I think went top 20 for them. Anyway K&MU is far from done as its set to reach a new peak this week and could eventually make my top 10! Sean Paul also appears in this section as a feature on the CNCO remix of Hey DJ led by Meghan Trainor. This is another hit for Meghan whose been one of the biggest artists on my charts ever (my charts started at the start of 2014) and peaked at #6 and has spent 7 weeks top 30 so far! I adore the remix and Meghan slays her parts, this is also CNCO's 3rd hit here after million sellers Ahora Lloras Tu and Reggaeton Lento (Little Mix version). Time will tell if this cna become their 3rd million seller out of 3 hits! Clean Bandit pop up here with their latest (underrated) single Baby which gave Marina her first hit since #1 hit Blue and Luis his 2nd hit ever after the song in the last section. Baby issa bop and spent two weeks in my top 10 (on very high sales, the week it debuted was competitive af with new songs from Hailee/Carly/Ari which are all still to come). However it fell pretty quickly down my charts as I've got a lil bored of it. Camila pops up here with her remixed version of Real Friends, which debuted and peaked at 16 when it looked like it was gonna be a proper single but after the first few weeks, I stopped playing it so it fell down very quickly. I think it's the only Camila (album) single to miss the top 10, it's nice but nothing incredible. Another Camila single to miss the top 10 was OMG, featuring Quavo who is also a feature on Iggy Azalea's Savior. This continues Iggy's trend of getting at least one hit per year and peaked just inside the top 20 in early 2019 and is her best song since Team, its such a bop and the verses/chorus work so well together.

So let's go onto the other three non ASIB songs. Why Don't We pop up with their 2nd track here with Hooked. This impacted as soon as I really started to get into the band and peaked at number 7 on album release week, before falling incredibly quickly down the charts oops. Hooked issa bop and one of their best videos. Una Healy scored one of the biggest surprise hits of the year with country-pop bop Never See Me Cry. Una sneaked a week in the top 10 at #9, becoming the first solo Saturdays' top 10 hit since I think her own song The Waiting Game in 2016 (though that plummetted down the charts). NSMC sneaked top 10 on one of the most dead weeks of the chart so Una was lucky in that regards (it was the same week Gaga's Your Song cover sneaked top 10) but it actually served way longevity than I expected at the time but I've not really gone back to it since mid 2018 haha. In terms of Saturdays members, Una has the most top 10 hits though Mollie still easily has the biggest hit with #1 smash Back To You (tho Hair Down bombed) and all of Vanessa's crap songs bombed x Completing this section is Nina Nesbitt who's had a massive renaissance in my charts over the past couple of years. Somebody Special was a long runner with nearly 15 weeks top 100 and despite only peaking at #35, was another big hit for Nina. SS isn't Nina's best but is still a great background pop song. This isn't the last we'll see from Nina in this countdown, though that's it for Una and also don't expect to see Why Don't We again until we reach the top 100 when their biggest & best songs will be popping up!

And finally we have the next two songs from the incredible A Star Is Born soundtrack to pop up here. Look What I've Found in #177 is the first song to pass the half a million mark in this countdown whilst Heal Me at #172 was PopGa slaying again. LWIF is such a great song, idk why I always think it's a duet with B-Coop apart from whenever I'm listening to it Gaga's vocals are soo good and its one of the songs on the soundtrack I've gone back to the most, unfortunately for Gaga the song just missed the top 10 but has slayed in its chart run to make up for it. Despite making the top 10, Heal Me spent less weeks top 40 but comes out higher. It's another bop and works great in the context of the movie for the PopGa part and it was Gaga's umpteenth top ten hit at number 8.
