Dexton's Top 20 (21/11/2017) (Week 28)

Triple Lauv?



Standing strong in the top spot is Rita Ora's Anywhere for a second consecutive week, her third Top 2 hit here which is quickly establishing Rita as one of my charts most successful artists. Similarily, Lauv enters the Top 5 for a third time with Easy Lauv Love (#5) after I Like Me Better (#1) and A Different Way (#2) made it here not long ago. In between Rita and Lauv is Eminem climbing to #2 whilst Selena Gomez & Marshmello (2-3) and NF (3-4) drop to accommodate.

Outside the Top 5 we have three new entries this week coming from the likes of Luis Fonsi & Demi Lovato, Lauv (again?!), and God's Favourite Band - Green Day. Luis Fonsi makes his first chart entry since the infectious Despacito debuted at #1 right at the very beginning of my weekly Top 20 chart. Will Échame La Culpa match Despacito's peak in a few weeks? Lauv's new single Paris In The Rain enters (#13) the chart this week in what is strangely his lowest debut entry. Green Day's newest song Back In The USA from their album Greatest Hits: God's Favourite Band enters at #19, whilst the album itself tops the album chart - but more on that later.

Climbing into the Top 10 are Clean Bandit's I Miss You featuring Julia Michaels (14-9) and Taylor Swift's ... Ready For It? (18-10). Clean Bandit previously held the #1 position with their long-awaited collaboration Disconnect with Marina & The Diamonds. I Miss You is looking unlikely to match Disconnect's peak, although Top 5 could be on the horizon. I was initially underwhelmed by this track however it has grown on me a lot lately and has hyped me up for CB2. A coincidentally similar case goes for ...Ready For It? which I actually didn't like when it was first released. Since Reputation was released though I've had the album on repeat (at least the first half, anyway) and ...Ready For It? is definately a grower.

Over in the album chart we have Green Day scoring their first #1 album with Greatest Hits: God's Favourite Band, a greatest hits album (obviously) with a new track and new remix of a Revolution Radio album track. Ordinary World featuring Miranda Lambert is just as underwhelming as the version without her, however Back In The USA is definately in the better half of Green Day's discography. Whilst Back In The USA is certainly not a match compared to some Green Day classics (American Idiot anyone?), I am enjoying this album a lot
