Dexton's Top 40 (27/03/2017) (Week 46)



This week saw the release of George Ezra's second studio album Staying At Tamara's, another album where Ezra sings about his time abroad although this time it's less obvious! Paradise remains at #1 and Ezra score's himself a rare luxury on my chart of holding on to both the singles & album chart #1's. He also goes one step further, securing himself the #2 position too with last year's comeback single Don't Matter Now finally charting here! I wasn't too keen on this last year, but listening through the album Don't Matter Now is clearly one (of many) highlights and has grown on me a lot! Whether it'll grow enough to overtake Paradise on top and join the elite club of Marshmello & Camila Cabello as two-time #1s - we'll see. Khalid scores yet another Top 5 hit with his Normani collaboration Love Lies (13-4), and Blossoms earn their first Top 5 hit with I Can't Stand It (6-5).

George Ezra also gets another Top 10 hit with hopefully future single Shotgun at #6. Logic & Marshmello's Everyday is yet another Top 10 debut at #7, giving Logic his 2nd and Marshmello his 4th Top 10 single. Earning himself another Top 20 hit is Post Malone with Psycho featuring Ty Dolla $ign (39-14), almost outpeaking Post Malone's Rockstar featuruing 21 Savage which made it to #12 last year. Also climbing into the Top 20 is The Wombats' Lemon To A Knife Fight which is slowly but steadily creeping it's way up my chart, could Lemon climb any higher than the previous Lemon in my chart? N.E.R.D. & Rihanna's Lemon made it to #8 earlier this year, a Drake "remix" was also released recently although - unlike anywhere officially - Drake's name is not enough to give this song a boost back into the chart. George Ezra's name pops back up as Pretty Shining People shoots up to #19, meaning this week has given George his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Top 20 hit all in one week!

Notable climbs this week come from Taylor Swift's Delicate (29-22), RAYE's Cigarette featuring Mabel & Stefflon Don (27-26), Liam Gallagher's Pape Crown (32-27), Paramore's Rose-Colored Boy (36-33), and MAX's Lights Down Low featuring gnash (40-38). Well none of them are too big to be fair, although I must say this week I've had a harder time sorting this chart out due to absolutely fked up things going on in my life right now . Normally listening to music and playing around with what I'm liking most (aka... a chart) is relaxing but life has been steadily getting more & more hectic these past fews weeks and now it's all blowing up...

Years & Years' Sanctify, George Ezra's Hold My Girl, Eminem's Nowhere Fast featuring Kehlani, Kygo & Miguel's Remind Me To Forget, Shawn Mendes' In My Blood, and Panic! At The Disco's Say Amen (Saturday Night) all debut Top 40 this week at #21, #28, #34, #35, #37, and #40 respectively. Also close to entering (in the would-be 41-50 section) this week were Bad Wolves' Zombie, Maroon 5's Wait, Shawn Mendes' Lost In Japan, David Guetta & Sia's Flames, Keith Urban's Parallel Lines, Missy Higgins' Futon Couch, George Ezra's Saviour featuring First Aid Kit, Pink's Whatever You Want, Dua Lipa's Homesick, and Kodaline's Follow Your Fire. Some of these may enter next week, other's might miss out completely despite me enjoying them quite a bit Other songs have also missed out on my chart completely due to being a tad unlucky during a few weeks, usually being overshadowed by bigger releases and then sort of forgotten about in terms of charting here... Do you want a list in somehwat chronological order? Yeah let's have a list:
- Childish Gambino - Redbone
- Blossoms - Blown Rose
- Major Lazer - Know No Better (feat. Camila Cabello & Quavo)
- Charlie Puth - Attention
- Selena Gomez - Bad Liar
- Martin Garrix & Troye Sivan - There For You
- George Ezra - Don't Matter Now
- CNCO & Little Mix - Reggaeton Lento
- Maroon 5 - What Lovers Do (feat. SZA)]
- Khalid - Young Dumb & Broke
- Dean Lewis - Lose My Mind
- Sheppard - Coming Home
- Kendrick Lamar & SZA - All The Stars
- E^st - Life Goes On
- Zedd, Maren Morris, & Grey - The Middle

Three of which (Blossoms, Major Lazer, Charlie) were actually in my Top 25 most played songs of 2017 There's some strange trivia for you.

Anywho. Over in the album chart we see history in the making as The Killers' Wonderful Wonderful finally drops out of the Top 10 after 26 consecutive weeks! The Killers' convinced me (yes, Brandon Flowers approached me in person) to begin my album chart which I have mostly kept up to date with what albums are tickling my fancy week-on-week. Of course George Ezra is #1 with his 2nd studio album Staying At Tamara's, but a bigger surprise comes at #2 where Logic's Bobby Tarantino II mixtape climbs from #10 in what will most likely be the biggest climb within my album chart ever! I never realised how much I actually liked Logic as an artist, I've really been getting into this mixtape (as well as some of his older stuff) this past week - as well as Jon Bellion who I am extremely excited for his new single. Hopefully that'll come soon, its been teased to death so I think April? We'll see. Justin falls to #3 after a 2nd 3-week-long run at the top with Man Of The Woods, and Eminem is also down to #4. Nothing else is too exciting

Thanks for reading (@ the few who do)!
