Personal thoughts: Starting off with Sia in her inspiring "I'm Still Here", this song, to be featured in HBO Documentary "At The Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal", tells us Sia's experience in overcoming hardship and trauma. Then, we have Petit Biscuit and Skott in "Suffer" as part of the two-track release "Suffer | Safe". This song is special with the annoying siren making up the whole piece, which according to Petit Biscuit resembles painful moments. This track has been in the making for a year so you could listen to the immense effort put forward by Petit Biscuit. After that, we have Valerie Broussard's "Hold on to Me" and Corno's "All Eyes On Me", with the latter a release on Monstercat label categorized "Instinct". The return of Conro is not disappointing as the shift to more downtempo and future bass-oriented can be clearly heard in this single. LP is next with "Recovery" as part of the upcoming album "Heart To Mouth" to be released on December 7. It depicts the dissolution of a relationship that is difficult to forget.
Up next is Alice on the roof's "T'as quitté la plančte", which means "You've Left the Planet" in French. Her soft voice is typical of French pop and helps magnify the elegance of words in French language. Anna Rune's "The Drain" is part of her new same-titled album. It is a heartfelt slow ballad. Afterwards, we have C. Dominic Caltagirone's "Shinjin". The epic and soothing melody in the piece brings out the theme well, while the theme is about clear or clarified heart-mind, also meaning faith or entrusting, according to the Japanese word "Shinjin" in Buddhist context. It will be followed by two Christian songs "Oh My Soul" by Ben & Noelle Kilgore and "Amen" by Andra Day. Followed close behind is Echos's "Saints". An artist I highly appreciate, Echos is going big and grand with this song by using infrequent percussion and brass. This song brings about a strong message where one sees through lies as truth while fear as love. Up next is W&W with their signature EDM style in the song "Rave Culture". Closing the list is Alex Rea's "Command" and Roo Panes's "Ophelia". The former is her debut single which talks about the present that has emphasis on norms, values and expectations, expectations of ourselves that cause us to forget what we actually stand for, while the latter talks about the beauty that give us life, yet we all have forgotten. Interestingly, Ophelia is a face of tragedy in Shakespeare which correlates the lyrics of the song.

Hey there Ushting
Much love for 'Head Above Water' entering here it's a shame that it doesn't seem to be cracking the top 40 but it's still surpassed my expectations tbh with its iTunes performance both in the UK and across the pond.
Will definitely have to check out your YouTube channel as I love watching chart videos!
Great stuff
