Chart Commentary

A big thank you to all those 11 of you who commented on last week's personal chart, including Danta Claus, Jason, Sven10, Nick F1, WiseManFromLeeds, Dobbo, toffonews, 360Jupiter, Santas Haz, Steve201 and Taylor Jago.

Rockabye has been this years longest standing #1 in the Top 40 Countdown by awardinary. 6 weeks it managed it, preventing artists like Jonas Blue and Cheat Codes from having a #1. But the latter is now at the top thanks to production by Robin Schulz & David Guetta. Shed A Light should be, and deserves to be, a big hit on the official charts in 2017. Both DJ's have proven thy are capable of producing big hits, and this collaboration is markedly an anthem waiting to happen!

Naughty Boy climbs one place as Britney Spears and Jonas Blue drop places. Alma retains her spot at #5 this week. Also climbing one place is Starboy whose popularity prevents I Feel It Coming from entering the Top 40 Countdown. Entering the Top 10 for the first time this week is The xx and Bruno Mars. Little Mix have the highest new entry this week with Touch which enters at #10.

Falling outside the Top 10 after 14 weeks is Röyksopp. New entries from Machine Gun Kelly and The Chainsmokers enter just outside the Top 10. Both songs look to do well in the new year. At #20 we find British pioneers Coldplay with their single Everglow. The final new entry this week comes from another collaboration, this time between Sigala & Digital Farm Animals. Only One is the final new entry this week which comes just outside the Top 20.

Some very long chart runs come to a climax this week as we say goodbye to The Mack and Crank It (Whoa). Both songs managed over 10 weeks in the Top 40.
Matoma & Gia, Peking Duk and Martin Solveig complete the casualty list for Christmas week.

Please continue to show your support and I thank you for checking out my personal chart this week!
