Dexton's Top 20 40 (12/12/2017) (Week 31)
Rita dethroned! (and some exciting chart changes)
Big news this week as my Top 20 chart has evolved into a whopping Top 40 chart! I was going to wait until the New Year for this but with Christmas coming up (and my annual influx of Christmas song-listening) the chart is easy to expand. This means that my official Top 40 chart year will start from the 12th December in seriously early preparation for an EOY chart in 2018. As my chart started-ish in March or something then I abandoned it, turned it into a playlist, then went back to the chart you see before you in June - it makes no sense to host an EOY when realistically I've only had 6 months of an actual chart There's also some minor design changes to make it easier for me
Now onto the chart commentary! Rita Ora's Anywhere has fallen from grace (1-4) as a familar face debuts at the top spot. Camila Cabello enters at #1 with Never Be The Same, becoming the first artist on the chart to reach #1 with two different songs. Four months ago (wow!) she entered at #1 with Havana featuring Young Thug, which later became her first official UK #1 too. Craig David is holding on tight to #2 and Jax Jones climbs (5-3) with his new house hit Breathe featuring Ina Wroldsen, completing the (extremely close) battle for this weeks #1, as Selena Gomez & Marshmello fall to #5 after 6 weeks in the Top 3.
Two new entries to the Top 10 come from RAYE and Alan Walker, with Decline featuring Mr Eazi at #6 and All Falls Down featuring Noah Cyrus & Digital Farm Animals at #9. Decline is growing on me day-by-day and should be Top 5 next week at this rate, could it even join the race for Christmas #1? Camila Cabello's second new entry this week is at #13 with Real Friends, a Love Yourself-type future hit in the making. Ina Wroldsen also makes her second appearance this week with Strongest at #17 - I completely passed over this when it was first released but came back to it after her feature on Jax Jones' Breathe and I'm really getting into it The last new entry to the Top 20 comes from the first Christmas song in the chart - arguably one of the best Christmas singles of all time that is truly a classic, Fairytale of New York by The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl at #20.
Outside of the Top 20 there's a hell of a lot of new entries from the likes of Pink, G-Eazy & Halsey, Jason Derulo, Bebe Rexha, and N.E.R.D. & Rihanna - as well as an influx of Christmas songs from: Sia, Wham!, Mariah Carey, The Killers, Ariana Grande, Slade, and Shakin' Stevens! Sia and The Killers each enter with two of their own original Christmas songs, from their own Christmas albums. Sia's Everyday Is Christmas also enters the album chart at #3, boasting Santa's Coming For Us and Candy Cane Lane. Candy Cane Lane is high-spirited and very jolly, which I prefer to the slower songs of Sia's discography - at least of her Christmas discography.
Speaking of the album chart, Portugal. The Man's Woodstock holds on to #1 for a third week - matching the longevity of The Killers' Wonderful Wonderful and JP Cooper's Raised Under Grey Skies, the former of which re-enters the Top 5 this week after spending a week at #6. The Killers also enter at #6 with Don't Waste Your Wishes, their Christmas single compilation album (two of which are in my Top 40). Gorillaz reach a new peak of #7, it's worth noting that Humanz would have been a #1 album for me if the album chart was active at the time of release. Humanz has become a favourite of mine this year and I never get tired of both the quality and the variety in sound Gorillaz bring to a record - see Saturnz Barz, Andromeda, Ascension, and We Got The Power for a good taste

good killers song!
great chart!
Hi!
Loving the new top 40, especially the Christmas song takeover and The Pogues being the highest one
Good number 1! I've only heard it once yet, but I quite enjoyed it
Nice to see Breathe climb into your top 3, can it get any higher tho?
Great climb for Decine!
Strongest and Him & I are both great new entries
Great Chart!
Hey Dexton,
Nice to see your chart turn into a top 40!
I'm not really one for Christmas songs as work in a shop and they all get played to death :S Have to admit Sia's Candy Cane Lane & Santa's Coming For Us are very good. Infact I love her new Christmas album.
Great to see Not3s, NF, RAYE & Jax Jones on the rise. Breathe is such a tune!
I've only heard Camila's new track a couple of times, not as instant as Havana for me but should grow on me come New Year.
Excellent chart Dexton
Hey Dexton,
first the elephant in the room, great choice to make your chart a top 40!
Great to see Camila at #1, the christmas songs debuting and many other songs debuting that I like!
Great chart overall!
hi Dexton!
ne.gif 01 00 Camila Cabello - Never Be The Same [1] I quite like both songs but I think this is the better one. How does she get her voice THAT high in the chorus though?!

ne.gif 40 00 Wham! - Last Christmas [40]
Great to see you finally embracing Christmas musically
hi!
not feeling the new Camila songs, they're a bit of a quality dip from Havana and even OMG.
good to see Breathe near the top of this chart though, I'm pleased with how it's holding up officially despite the Christmas takeover. should be huge
Strongest is another good Ina Wroldsen song, peaked at #51 for me.
Another Team Pogues supporter here. There is always a battle between Mariah and Pogues fans which Mariah seems to always win now.
Was never sold on any of The Killers' seasonal songs.
great chart!
Hey Dexton,
Welcome to the Top 40 club
