Dexton's Top 40 (19/06/2018) (Week 58)



Busy busy busy, but not at #1 as Panic! At The Disco continue their hold on the top for a 2nd week with High Hopes. Ariana Grande is back in the Top 10 not long since former-#1 No Tears Left To Cry bowed out, featuring on Troye Sivan's latest single Dance To This which debuts at #2. Ariana also enters the chart on yet another feature this week, but is lower down the chart. At Maroon 5's Girls Like You featuring Cardi B (4-3) and Clean Bandit's Solo featuring Demi Lovato (3-4) switch around neatly but poor George Ezra's Shotgun is clinging on to the Top 5.

Better Now (10-7) becomes Post Malone's highest charting solo single, outpeaking his previous Top 10 Psycho featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Years & Years' If You're Over Me (8-8) and 5 Seconds of Summer's Youngblood (9-9) enjoy another week Top 10, the latter of which is the title track of the bands latest album which debuts in my album chart during a particularly busy week. Duke Dumont's Inhale featuring Ebenezer (6-10) also spends another week in the Top 10.

Notable climbers this week include Khalid & H.E.R.'s This Way (17-11), Vance Joy's Saturday Sun (28-13), Ivy Adara's Currency (19-15), Niall Horan & Maren Morris' Seeing Blind (32-17), Cardi B's I Like It featuring J Balvin & Bad Bunny (27-18), Labrinth, Sia, & Diplo's Audio (29-19), Hayden James' Just Friends featuring Boy Matthews (33-25), and Vic Mensa & Marshmello's Reverse featuring G-Eazy (35-33). Saturday Sun becomes Vance Joy's 3rd consecutive Top 20 hit and 2nd to peak at #13, will Saturday Sun be able to outshine We're Going Home? Ivy Adara continues the string of Australian Top 20 songs with Currency rising for yet another week, and Sia also adds to the Aussie climbers earning another Top 20 hit for herself with Audio. Seeing Blind matches the peak of his previous single On The Loose, and also gives Maren Morris her first and highest charting song here. Cardi B experiences a bit of a resurgence and re-enters the Top 20 - watch this space

9 new songs enter the chart this week, which is just the 6th time this year this has happened! Troye earns his highest charting single with Dance To This featuring Ariana Grande at #2 (incredibly helped by the feature, not gonna lie). Kygo & Imagine Dragons' Born To Be Yours (#20) is a welcome return to the chart for both artists. Jorja Smith's Blue Lights (#21) enters on the back of her debut album Lost & Found, Nicki Minaj's Bed featuring Ariana Grande (#22) is Nicki's first solo entry here after the crappy stuff she's releases thus far in 2018, and Juice WRLD's Lucid Dreams (#23) is one of the few new entries this week from a previously unseen artist! Another batch of new entries shows up at the bottom of the chart. Martin Garrix's Ocean featuring Khalid (#37) is surprisingly Martin Garrix's first ever entry in my chart - There For You missed out last year due to this only being a Top 20 back then. Big news came this weekened when Beyonce & Jay-Z launched their first joint album Everything Is Love at the end of an On The Run II show. The album shows up in the album chart, and lead single Apeshit (featuring the uncredited adlibs of Quavo and Offset, and co-produced by Pharrel) enters a #38. Sigala, Fuse ODG, & Sean Paul's Feels Like Home featuring Kent Jones (#39) is more football-sounding than most of the football-related singles releases for the World Cup this year... but the fact it's not related to the World Cup makes me like it even more The Rubens make their chart debut (strange) with Never Ever featuring Sarah Aarons at #40. Sarah Aarons previously made the chart on Peking Duck's Fire, but may be more familiar as "Paige IV" from L D R U's Keeping Score.

We have the album chart opening up with Beyonce & Jay-Z taking the top spot with Everything Is Love. 5 Seconds of Summer AND Lily Allen also debut Top 3, giving the top end of the chart a bit of a cleanout. Both Youngblood and No Shame would be #1s in any other week, but poor timing for them Although, Post Malone's Beerbongs & Bentleys didn't peak at #1 until it's 6th week on the chart - so who knows how they might grow on me. George Ezra leaves the Top 5 for the first time since Staying At Tamara's release, but more interesting perhaps is how Justin Timberlake's Man Of The Woods (9-10) is now inches from leaving! At just 19 weeks on the chart though, JT is far from beating The Killers' record for most weeks spent inthe album chart, as some may remember Wonderful Wonderful spent 26 weeks here with 17 of those in the Top 5.

Thanks for coming
