Chart Analysis
No, I've not typed this out wrong - the top two this week are both called Easy! At #1 is Pale Waves with their first chart-topper, while Rose Gray sits just below with her highest peak to date. Last week's #1 drops to third place, ahead of FKA twigs's first top ten hit. The same can be said for Rhye, whose new album gives them a first top ten. It's another hit for Georgia at #7 with Waves Of Devotion, a very chilled track which eventually grew on me. Below a few more fallers is Lo Vas A Olvidar, which is a great song but didn't quite live up to the hype for me and just misses the top ten. Other new entries lower down come from Raissa, another Rose Gray track, and Winona Oak.

Hey Ansel!

Drivers License still Top 5 but dropping sadly it's soluch a beautiful song!
Oh no! Chemtrails Over The Country Club is going the wrong way. No baby no.
Breathless still doing well I guess? I'm expecting this to leave your chart in the next couple of week though?

Good chart!

Hi Ansel!

Don't think I've heard 'Easy' yet - it's sounding pretty nice, not on the same level as Change although it could well grow.

Lo Vas A Olvidar was lovely to hear on the chart show, something very different and sounding quite winter-y as well!

Giving Waves Of Devotion a play as well now, maybe not my think but it's always great to hear Georgia's vocal so that was nice.

Great chart

This Rose Gray now has songs with the same title as two of my favourite songs of 2020 ('Save Your Tears' and 'Easy', by The Weeknd and Troye Sivan respectively ofc)

A few songs near the top end of your chart that I've not heard yet (Rone is pretty consistently great though so excited to hear his song with Georgia, will check that one out soon, as well as the new FKA twigs and Billie Eilish/ROSALÍA ofc! (I am currently eternally about a week behind with new releases x)) but generally excellent taste among the songs I do know, Olivia Rodrigo/SZA/Lana Del Rey are all among my fave mainstream songs out right now and the DJ Danny (L Harle) song is quite a banger too! Lots more great songs lower down as well
