II. CHARTBEAT
1. This chart marks 15 years of TaraElla Charts. The first one was delievered on 14 April 2002, with Kasey Chambers's Not Pretty Enough being the first chart topper. Since then, we've had more than 700 chart toppers!
2. This week, Julia Michaels holds on to the top spot for a second week in a row. But the upcoming competition is fierce too. Will she make it to three weeks?
