Dexton's Top 50 (05/02/2019) (Week 91)



Lewis Capaldi ascends to the #1 position on his 4th week in my chart with Grace (4-1), becoming the 4th #1 of 2019 so far and continues the streak of all-male #1 songs since Ariana Grande's thank u, next rose to the top at the beginning of December. Speak of the devil, her latest single 7 Rings (19-10) rebounds back up the chart to find a new peak of #10 and becomes her 8th Top 10 hit in the process. Lewis Capaldi gracefully pushes Catfish and The Bottlemen's Longshot (1-2) and Ocean Alley's Confidence (2-3) away from the top spot whilst Calvin Harris & Rag'n'Bone Man's Giant (6-4) becomes Calvin's 4th Top 5 hit. Funnily enough for Calvin, his track record so far is that he either manages a huge Top 5 hit (Faking It, One Kiss, Promises, Giant) or completely misses the Top 10 completely! Rag'n'Bone Man earns his first ever Top 5 hit with her first ever entry in the chart.

A chart record I'm sure: this week sees 5/10 singles in the Top 10 from Australian artists! Partly in thanks to the Hottest 100 which brought Alison Wonderland's Church (13-6) to my attention although the likes of Hilltop Hoods, KIAN, and Dean Lewis were already hits here before Triple J's poll. Ocean Alley also have Triple J to thank for claiming the largest jump in my Top 50 to date last week going from #41 to #2.

Outside the Top 10 we see Dominic Fike's 3 Nights (12-11) edging slightly closer into the upper reaches of the chart - closely following 7 Rings at #10 and then 7 Minutes at #9. Mike Posner's Spong About You (14-13) sneaks back up the chart after a tumble last week as does Lady Gaga's Always Remember Us This Way (20-17), You Me At Six's I O U (26-22), Jax Jones & Years & Years' Play (25-23), The 1975's TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME (33-32), and Post Malone's Wow (37-34). Post Malone actually earns himself a new peak this week after spending 6 weeks between #35 and #40. Khalid's Saturday Nights (18-14), Amy Shark's The Idiot (22-19), and Vera Blue's All The Pretty Girls (23-20) find new peaks in the Top 20. Steadily growing outside the Top 20 lately has been Rudimental's Walk Alone (feat. Tom Walker) (27-24), coming from their latest album Toast To Our Differences which was... a disappointment to say the least. So much so that it hasn't even charted in my album chart yet and is unlikely to make an appearance there. Artists with singles debuting this week who have been in the album chart however include Passenger, who's Saviours debuts at #30 and is already looking likely to outpeak Heart To Loves #27 peak, and 21 Savage, who enters with A lot at #39. Adding to the already eclectic range of new entries this week we have CamelPhat & Cristoph's Breathe at #31, Julia Michaels & Selena Gomez's Anxiety at #36, X Ambassadors' BOOM at #40, Billie Eilish's bury a friend at #47, and Little Mix's Think About Us at #49. Spending a second week at #50 is lovelytheband's Broken.

Thanks for coming
