Hello Bre!
Have to say seeing your chart for the first time, I really like it!
Nice to see "Sunflower", "Sweet But Psycho" and "E-Lo" in your top 10!
And I also like "When The Party's Over", "Play", "Empty Space", "DI MI NOMBRE", "Shallow" and "Baby" in your top 40!
Great chart, hope to see more of those!

Posted by: danuary 6th January 2019, 04:07 PM

Great to see this return *.*

01 ** 01 / Post Malone - Wow. / 1- an instant fave for me, prefer this to Sunflower and good to see him starting a new era already
08 ** 01 / Los Unidades and Pharrell Williams - E-Lo (feat. Jozzy) / 8- if only they kept the Coldplay name this may have actually officially charted
10 ** 01 / Russ - Gun Lean / 10- banger! of course it was too rude for R1 though, shame as I really wanted to see the typical BuzzReactions in the chart thread
11 ** 01 / MJ Cole and Freya Ridings - Waking Up / 11- beautiful!
13 ** 01 / FISHER - Losing It / 13- Choon! amazed that it's actually a UK top 75 hit!

great chart! a lot of random urban rap tracks I need to check out too!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 8th January 2019, 05:03 PM

Hi Bré!

Nice to see E-Lo so high, I'm enjoying this Los Unidades project more than I ever enjoyed Coldplay! I prefer Timbuktu but this one is nice as well.

Great to see a song like Losing It get some commercial success, it's a great dance track and hope it can get Top 40 officially!

Giving your #2 a listen now... yeah not my thing He's clearly very talented though.

Great chart!

Posted by: Jade 8th January 2019, 05:28 PM

Hey Brerrrrr, welcome back to this forum *.* remember when both of us brought back our chart for about 2 weeks in 2017? *_* well my 2018/9 comeback has somehow lasted for 6 months so I have faith in you this time as well. Great first chart of 2019 anyway, unsurprisingly the highlights are endless with how similar our music taste is well, except 'Money' xo but at least I am getting into 'Losing It' now after it not hitting me immediately!

Fabuloso chart ~

Posted by: coi 8th January 2019, 09:20 PM

Yes, glad you've finally returned to doing personal charts!

Glad Post Malone and Ava Max are in the top ten, and loving Losing It and Mo Bamba in here too! Interesting that you've got Los Unidades in the top ten though, I thought it was very meh and that's coming from a long time Coldplay fan!

Great chart!

Posted by: MÿrtleSnow 8th January 2019, 09:24 PM

So many new entries

Yass @ Joan of Arc, slept on that when it was first dropped as an IG. Also @ MJ/Freya, Grimes, Poppy/Grimes, James + Meek/Drake

Posted by: Bré 9th January 2019, 12:02 AM

Shall try and get into the swing of this forum again and leave some comments in you lovely people's charts in return in the near future

Thanks Sergej! I kept a chart more or less continuously for quite a few years back in the day but have only posted about 3 personal charts in the last few years haha. I will hopefully be aiming to keep it up this time though!



'Wow.' was definitely far more instant than 'Sunflower' for me, I think that would have had a pretty slow ascent up my chart had I been posting it since the song came out whereas 'Wow.' would definitely have entered straight in at #1 (and this would have been its second week).

I was also disappointed at us being deprived of the BuzzJack reaction to 'Gun Lean' - hopefully we'll get one for NSG & Tion Wayne next week



I actually didn't even realise Los Unidades had already released their EP oops, not really keeping tabs on this project, I've only just got around to listening to 'E-Lo'! Shall have to listen to the rest at some point. J.I.D is of course one of the many artists I have sent to BJSC that finished near the bottom of your rankings so yeah no surprise there xx



It is good to be back that was a very iconic 2017 comeback indeed xx hopefully we shall both be here to stay now anyway!

'Money' is a banger tho xx



I had very low expectations for 'E-Lo' given the pretty muted reception it's got and the fact I didn't really enjoy Coldplay's last EP thing (also as a long time Coldplay fan) but it was pleasantly surprising! Reminds me a fair bit of Disclosure's 'Ultimatum' with the African influences and that was one of my fave songs of last year so ~

'Mo Bamba' would have been a #1 in my chart had I been doing it last year, it's super old to me now but thought I'd better give it a token inclusion for my chart's return anyway same with 'SICKO MODE'.



There won't be quite as many new entries next week don't worry (although I do already have a list of ~13 new songs that I want to chart next week so it's not gonna be quite as immediately stagnant as I feared).

I have only just listened to 'Joan Of Arc' via Jade's chart this week as well, alongside a bunch of their other album tracks but that one was definitely a big highlight!

I see FISHER is a popular one in here

My chart survives to a second week *.* and a new #1 already as JPEGMAFIA climbs to the top with a short and aggressive banger, typical of his trademark glitchy sound (even though this one is not actually produced by him x). Donae'O claims the highest new entry at #2, Radio 1 have apparently been trying to make this song a thing for a while but it passed me by until now - glad I finally heard it tho cos issa bop. Produced by Calvin Harris as well, not that it sounds much like it (it just reminds me a lot of Giggs' 'Lock Doh' which Donae'O was also on). The rest of the top 5 is all fresh intake too, with a big climber for Flipp Dinero (a likely future UK hit, reminds me a bit of Fetty Wap lol, definite BuzzJack fave) and then two more new entries. slowthai matches his #4 position on Sound of 2019 with his punk-rap tune, a collab with Mura Masa (although again I wouldn't have guessed that without knowing it) and veterans The Chemical Brothers land in at #5 with their fresh nu banger. My top 5 won't always be 100% hip-hop after all.

All this means Post Malone slides to #6 from the top spot which is making it look really frontloaded but it's not that I've gone off the song at all, just happened to be overtaken by a bunch of others this week. Two other songs enter the top 10, a new entry from the latest random afro-bashment hit from NSG (have found this one a bit more instant than most others of its genre) and MJ Cole & Freya Ridings sneaking in from #11 last week. There are also a further 10 new entries lower down. This high level of turnover probably won't be continuing. x

The third edition of my revived chart also has my third new #1 of the era, how long will this fast turnover continue? Donae'O was challenging to climb to the top in his second week but has been blocked by a new entry from Sound of 2019 winner Octavian, I had never heard of him prior to being on the shortlist but gave a chance to one of his songs after his surprise win and turns out he is very up my street, with a somewhat leftfield spacey aesthetic that makes him stand out from other British rappers (I've seen lots of YT comments comparing him to Travis Scott which seems to fit well). Don't think he'll be getting much mainstream success but who needs it when you can have #1 on the Bré Forté *.* The top 5 as a whole doesn't have as much turnover as last week with three of the five songs being the same as last week (NSG and Tion Wayne climb from their #9 debut last week to #3).

Only one other song enters the top 10, a big climber from Anderson .Paak with a song I'm coming to like nearly as much as his previous single that featured Kendrick Lamar. It helps that this sound if anything sounds more like a Kendrick song than that one did. x I managed to find another pretty wide selection of new entries, with 9 more lower down the chart, many of which will probably climb next week as I listen to them more. Among them are 2 new songs by everyone's favourite mumble rapper Future, CupcakKe's new banger and a few more classy picks from the likes of Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey and even Sam Smith (he's winning me back over this era, who'da thunk). Next week will probably see the first BJSC song invasion of this chart era. x

'Options' is one of the better rap hits we've had recently, glad that's taking off in a big way.
good to see 'Leave Me Alone' entering the UK top 40 too
looks like 'Gun Lean' did eventually get 2 R1 chart show plays then, and it should make a big climb this week thanks to the remix!
surprised you're into the new Jax Jones song more than I am too
and new Sam Smith entering both of our top 40s, what is this alternate universe?
quite like the new Billie Eilish though she's still yet to make anything half as good as 'When the Party's Over'
never heard of your #1 until he won Sound Of, what a random winner. not surprised you're into it tho.

great chart!

Posted by: sergejdordij98 19th January 2019, 09:50 AM

Hello Bré!
I never this song from Octavian before, but I've heard that he won BBC Radio 1's Sound of 2019, hopefully he'll be interesting!
I like the debuts for "Hold My Girl" (Made it a single before Ezra actually made this a single) and "Dancing With A Stranger" (The collaboration between Sam & Normani is great).
Great chart!

My friend is best mates with Alfie Templeman, had him on Instagram before he even started making music - quite surreal to see him get some (very limited) mainstream success. Also nice to see "Puff Daddy" here, my favourite of JPEG's.

Great chart!

I've actually quite enjoyed Options from what I've heard! One of the better songs of that genre (whatever you want to call it )

Giving a #1 a listen - not a massive fan but there's definitely worse so I'm not going to slate it.

Giving Like An Animal a listen as well, sounding quite nice! Where did you find this one?

Great chart

Pretty surprising that Flipp Dinero has got to the top 40 here tbh considering it's still only peaked at #21 in the US so far, hopefully can continue to climb in both though. 'Play' is an easy highlight of Jax's discog for me (second only to 'Breathe'), I hadn't realised how low it was in your chart actually! And I was actually this close to charting Sam's prevous single as well, I'm here for this era being a redemption for him. I don't think 'WHEN I WAS OLDER' is quite overtaking 'when the party's over' as my fave from her yet but it's not far off actually, should be a big climber in my next chart as I charted it based on only one listen last week!



Thanks for the comment! I wanted to chart 'Hold My Girl' before this but it got squeezed out of my new entries the two previous weeks, finally made it in there this time as I got around to watching the music video which has helped it click with me even more <3



Oh wow, these connections *_* isn't he still only like 15?



I believe it's called afro-bashment

'Like An Animal' was the Radio 1 Introducing playlist song last week, I'm trying to keep up with all of the songs R1 playlists this year to not be missing out on some of the stuff they playlist that never makes any mainstream impact - the Introducing songs are normally nothing special but I really liked this one, reminds me a lot of MGMT's first album.

Thanks for the comments, new chart coming later today woo. I'll try and do some more comments on other people's charts as well.

For the third week in a row the previous week's #1 drops out of the top 3, in another very high turnover week - Octavian slips to #4, behind NSG who climb a place to a new peak of #2 plus my two biggest favourites from James Blake's new album 'Assume Form'. The beautiful minimalist closing track 'Lullaby For My Insomniac' goes straight in at #1 while the glitchy retro soul sampling 'Can't Believe The Way We Flow' goes in at #3. Donae'O completes the top 5 dropping three places.

James Blake has a third new entry within the top 10 with another stunner of a track in his ROSALÍA collab 'Barefoot In The Park' (and he has two more new entries in the top 40, it's quite possible more tracks from the album could chart next week and the existing ones might climb) and there are two more new entries in the top 10; my BJSC entry from In The Loop is finally allowed to chart and appears at #6 while another very chill and beautiful track from Laura Misch closes out the top 10 (a discovery from New Music Friday last week which I checked out due to her being related to Tom Misch who had a great song in Nuggets a while back). Another chill offering from Billie Eilish also enters the top 10. Chill is the theme of the week x (although not quite so much for the other new entries lower down, of which there are quite a few again).

For the first time in my chart's comeback, a #1 doesn't drop straight out of the top 3, in fact 'Lullaby For My Insomniac' hangs on for a second week at #1, unprecedented longevity James' other top 5 entry last week drops down to #8 but he has two other songs climbing into the top 5 to replace it, as I am actually giving in more to my stan goggles for Travis Scott and ROSALÍA with more listens - 'Mile High' shoots up 11 places to complete an all Blake top 2 while 'Barefoot In The Park' climbs four places to #4. Meanwhile 'Chalice' remains strong and stable, back up to #3 in its fourth straight week in the top 5, and Billie Eilish sneaks into the top 5 with 'WHEN I WAS OLDER' (not yet heard her new song but look out for a new entry for that next week if it's anywhere near as good as her other recent output).

Metro Boomin has a second song climbing into the top 10 as '10 Freaky Girls' zooms up to #6, this is a song I was loving when it first came out last year but have a rejuvenated interest in it following its recent music video drop (even though the video itself is nothing special). The highest new entry for the week at #7 is the long-awaited comeback from Vampire Weekend with the lovely 'Harmony Hall', which could potentially climb further next week. NSG and Octavian close out the top 10.

It's yet another week with a bumper batch of new entries (perhaps this will be the case every week x) with 13 more entries lower down. This includes the first batch of BJSC new entries, I'm holding off on charting songs that made the final until after the results to avoid totally spoiling my votes but I've charted the three most undeserved DNQs from The Soft Moon, Ska-P and DJ Maphorisa et al. There's also a couple more James Blake album tracks entering, Bring Me The Horizon's unexpected but welcome foray into electronic music, a banger from Logic, a lovely downtempo instrumental from Bonobo, a trashy bop from SOFI TUKKER and ZHU (thanks New Music Friday again for those last two), a belated entry from Catfish And The Bottlemen who were narrowly cut out the last two weeks, J.I.D and J. Cole having back to back new entries following their Bré Forté smash hit together (the former featuring on Eminem's new labelmate Boogie, not to be confused with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie) and finally another Radio 1 Introducing playlist discovery from The Orielles. Meanwhile my #1 from just 3 weeks ago drops out entirely oops, it would have had a good few weeks on the chart prior to the start of 2019 which would make its chart run look slightly less terrible but alas it's one I've not listened to so much the last couple of weeks so it falls victim to the fast turnover. x

Do I only get any comments on odd-numbered charts xx

Posted by: MÿrtleSnow 31st January 2019, 11:39 PM

These charts are about as fast moving as mine which is a refreshing change!

Of your new entries over the last few:
Malamente (ROSALIA), Vampire Weekend and potentially Mi Rumba & You Should See Me in a Crown (which hit me after hearing it in the brilliant Runaways) will be landing for me soon, as well as some of the James Blake tracks. Since I track by month brand new ones take a while to land.

Posted by: sergejdordij98 1st February 2019, 11:54 PM

Hello Bré!
Really like the James Blake tracks and the debut for "Longshot!
Great chart!

Posted by: danG 3rd February 2019, 08:01 PM

A lot of new entries here but none that I particularly enjoy... oops
'7 Rings' from last week is growing for me a bit though, prefer it to 'Thank U, Next'.
Billie Eilish's new one is a lot better than the one in your top 5 so hopefully it enters high here!

Posted by: Bré 7th February 2019, 11:15 PM

It turns out that when I actually put more effort into listening to new music every week my taste actually is really fast moving. My old charts used to be much slower than this

I approve of potential Blake and ROSALÍA impakt x



Thanks Sergej! Catfish finally making it in for at least the one week yay ~



I imagine you would quite like 'Ibrik' (turns out you have heard that and hate it xx), the rest are mostly things I wouldn't expect you to like in fairness.

'bury a friend' isn't as good as 'WHEN I WAS OLDER' for me yet but it is impacting my new chart which will be posted here in just a moment omg exciting

The curse of #1 hits falling out of the top 3 when they leave the top carries on as 'Lullaby For My Insomniac' actually has the biggest drop from #1 in my revived chart so far, dipping to #7 after two weeks at the top oops. James Blake is still doing fine for himself though as he maintains 2 other tracks in the top 10 - 'Mile High' only falls one place to #3, holding up better with the music video release which has kept it in rotation for me more, while 'Barefoot In The Park' falls four places to #8.

Two guitar bands who had new entries last week zoom up to form a fresh top 2 this week - Vampire Weekend's 'Harmony Hall' climbs 7-1, providing the former Persephonian (or Egabbaci at the time) BJSC act what I think is their first #1 on any iteration of my chart, much overdue. Bring Me The Horizon have an even bigger climb with Grimes collab 'nihilist blues' zooming 15-2. My most obscure 'highest new entry' to date, the only brand new entry in the top 10 is Bladee's 'Trash Star' which launches at #4, he's a Swedish rapper who's associated with Yung Lean and makes music that requires a similar acquired taste so I'm probably not recommending this one to anyone (I know mdh hates him lmao), it's just something I like xx behind that, 21 Savage returns to the top 10 at a new peak of #5 with 'a lot' following the #promo of his bizarre news week (although it'd be climbing in my chart regardless, again because of a new music video, especially as that video has a new verse on the song that I wish was on the Spotify version as it makes the song even better). 21 also holds at #6 with his Metro Boomin collaboration '10 Freaky Girls'. There's more semi-obscure hip-hop in the top 10 as Boogie and J.I.D fly up 36-9 on their second week on the chart, while Donae'O sneaks a fifth week in the top 10, down seven places this week.

A ton more new entries lower down as is becoming standard. Second highest new entry goes to this week's random New Music Friday dance instrumental discovery from O'Flynn (checked it out after loving 'Desmond's Empire' in BJSC, this song is totally different but still awesome), just beating out the more mainstream choice of the new Billie Eilish single. That'll probably climb but for now it goes in at #15. Wiley's new bop with an iconic cast of guest appearances also enters in the top 20. A few songs from non-BJSC song contests make some belated impact, my own entries to Unknown Pleasures (Jade Cicada) and Club Bizarre (Brainwaltzera) plus my two favourite discoveries from UP (65daysofstatic and Cari Cari). Unfortunately couldn't find any room to chart any Club Bizarre discoveries, should have done last week but I forgot oops. Other new entries: The Chemical Brothers' new earworm, another Bring Me The Horizon track (a much more poppy one but the chorus really sticks in my mind), the new one from Florence + The Machine, another new Octavian song which is pretty trash lyrically but still a banger, a dark synthy cut from Poppy, a song from the Internet's new favourite meme rapper Blueface ('Thotiana' is still trash but I claim this one) and finally Lauv's collab with Troye Sivan who, fun fact, I was a fan of before Joseph ever was. xx

Oh CHRIST not Bladee Tbf "I Chose To Be This Way" by him is alright because he doesn't sound like he's about to have a stroke, but I can't say I'm a fan of that new one lol.

"a lot" and "Harmony Hall" are both great additions to the top 5.

Listen to "Spin The Block" by 22Gz, you'll either love it or hate it but I figured you're the only other person on the forum apart from myself that could possibly take anything from it x

Great chart

Great to see Bring Me The Horizon doing well here as well as the new entries for Billie Eilish and Florence + The Machine!

Also especially pleased to find 65daysofstatic in your chart too, thanks for giving the superb Unmake The Wild Light your top vote in UP XXVII!

Posted by: Bré 16th February 2019, 03:20 AM

Haha. I knew you'd appreciate that one! This was actually the first time I'd ever listened to Bladee although I knew of him because of his association with Yung Lean, I was pleasantly surprised xx

Just given that 22Gz song a listen and I enjoyed it quite a bit! Nice to hear Kodak not sounding awful on a song again for once.



No probs, was an easy highlight for me <3

Vampire Weekend manage to follow James Blake in being a two week #1, time will tell if they'll now plummet after their second week at #1 as well... or perhaps they might even stay #1 for a third week, wouldn't that be mad? In fact my top 2 both stay put this week for the first time in my chart revival as Bring Me The Horizon hold firm at #2. 21 Savage takes up the rest of the top 4 as he hits another new peak with 'a lot' up two places to #3 (as it is now one of only two songs that have featured in all 7 of my charts of 2019 so far alongside J.I.D & J. Cole's 'Off Deez', oops x) while '10 Freaky Girls' with Metro Boomin cracks the top 5 after two weeks just outside, climbing 6-4. BJSC songs aren't dominating my chart as much as I expected them to, at least not this month, but my fave entry of the BJSC 111 final, Sho Madjozi's 'Huku', does grab highest new entry status as it goes in at #5. My own entry from In The Loop re-enters the top 10 at #10 and there are two more BJSC newies (De Staat and Ferdinand Dreyssig et al.) lower down plus a re-entry for Vulfpeck who match the position they first entered and peaked at.

James Blake and Bladee fall three places each to #6 and #7, Boogie and J.I.D continue to climb up to #8 and Billie Eilish cracks the top 10 in her second week with 'bury a friend' as she did with 'WHEN I WAS OLDER', climbing 15-9. I still like 'WHEN I WAS OLDER' more but time will tell if this one will have more longevity. The highest non-BJSC new entry is Sam Fender's 'Play God' which lands in at #20, was surprised at how much I liked this after not caring at all for the couple of songs I'd heard from him before. Ahead of that there's a re-entry at a new peak of #16 for Meek Mill and Drake who have been back in rotation for me following the release of its cinematic music video.

Other new entries: Buddy's 'Link Up' featuring a whole bunch of people including J.I.D (like with 'Soho' I only checked this out because J.I.D is on it, he has quite the golden touch for me so far x), a couple of somewhat belatedly Radio 1 playlisted dance bangers from Axwell and Friend Within, another Theophilus London & Tame Impala collab (which sounds far more like I expected that collab to sound than 'Only You' did), MARINA's surprisingly lovely comeback single, a track from Ólafur Arnalds' album from last year which was on New Music Friday following the release of a music video (didn't know NMF did that but I'm glad they did as it was a good chance for me to hear this song x), a belated debut for Cadet (RIP) with 'Advice' which I'm now appreciating a bit more than I was before, Mustard & Migos' collab which is completely just a generic Migos song but has grown on me, and the new one from TR/ST off double BJSC wins fame. CamelPhat et al also re-enter at a new peak of #29 coinciding with them entering the UK top 40 because I'm still a mainstream whore sometimes.

Posted by: Jade 17th February 2019, 01:11 PM

Hey there Brerrrrr

I approve of all the BJSC new entries this week, particularly Ferdinand Dreyssig and Marvin Hey <3 it's cool that we had the exact same thought process when we first listened to that song, where it grew on us more and more as the song progressed. We simply cannot refuse the #longsongbloc it seems! I have not heard any of the other non-BJSC new entries here (except 'Advice' of course, RIP </3) but I shall get on 'em soon, looking forward to MARINA and TR/ST in particular.

That progress for Billie, 21 Savage and The Chemical Brothers

Great chart xx

Posted by: sergejdordij98 17th February 2019, 04:44 PM

Hello Bré!
I like the gain for "Bury A Friend" into the top 10, very happy to see it being a hit for Billie!
I also like the debuts for "Nobody Else", "The Truth", "Whiplash", "Advice" (RIP Cadet) and "Pure Water"!
Great chart!

Posted by: danG 17th February 2019, 05:10 PM

great to see Ferdinand Dreyssig et al and Axwell here and CamelPhat re-peaking, and I also like the De Staat, Friend Within, Cadet and Mustard newies.
'bury a friend' is probably my fave in the top 10 at the moment though 'a lot' may overtake, I'd still rank 'when the party's over' above it at the moment.

Posted by: Bré 24th February 2019, 07:06 PM

Indeed *. (although I am resisting the #longsongbloc in the next contest and sending my 2nd shortest entry to date, oh my).



Thanks for the comment as ever Sergej :3



'when the party's over' is still my fave from her as well, will be tough to top!

Posted by: Bré 24th February 2019, 07:07 PM

Getting this up a couple of days late despite making the chart on time again oop xx #slacking. Also my highest new entry this week doesn't have a non-Topic upload on YouTube which gives me a convenient opportunity to try out the new novelty of Spotify embedding

After having a relatively stable top 5 including a non-moving top 2 last week, it's all change this time as there are 4 new entries in the top 5, including both of the top 2. Vampire Weekend slip to #3 after two weeks at the top (the first #1 on my 2019 charts to not fall out of the top 3 after leaving the top xx). It was a close battle for #1 between rappers from both sides of the Atlantic, but it's local talent that wins out as AJ Tracey makes his grand debut on my charts going straight in at #1 with 'Ladbroke Grove', bringing back a nostalgic old skool UK garage sound (still technically an album track but it seems to be the most popular one so hopefully will be made a single). His last proper single 'Psych Out!' simultaneously makes a belated debut at #37. Travis Scott settles for #2 again, three weeks after peaking there with his James Blake collab, this time debuting with 'CAN'T SAY' which is over six months old now but I'm only hearing it now it's got a music video because I'm lazy at listening to albums. This song is made by the uncredited feature Don Toliver whose verse is great x Travis also has a second new entry this week, making a belated splash with previous single 'YOSEMITE' (with uncredited Gunna and NAV) at #35, this one I had heard before but didn't really get much into until now. Another American rapper, Trippie Redd enters at #4 with 'TIME TO DIE' featuring the awfully named FreeMoney800, Trippie is hit or miss for me but this new song (which is still not even on Spotify xx) is produced by the same person who was behind 'Topanga' which was one of my favourite songs of last year and this one is great too (not sure why it has such a gloomy title though as the lyrics don't relate at all). The last high debut is the considerably more mainstream pick of Ariana Grande's recent UK #1 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' which easily overtakes '7 rings' as my fave from the era to date, charting 7 places higher and I suspect it'll spend a bit longer than three weeks in my chart this time xx

The lower half of the top ten is mostly fallers, with 21 Savage retreating to #6, Bring Me The Horizon having a 5 place tumble to #7 (seems harsh but it's just cos of all the new entries x), James, Travis & Metro slipping to #9 and Billie Eilish sneaking a second top 10 week at #10 (could still climb again). The exception is Sam Fender who rises 12 places to #8 with 'Play God' on his second week on the chart. BRITs impakt (but not really cos he was barely acknowledged there). There are 6 other new entries lower down, with ionnalee and UNKLE/Michael Kiwanuka (the latter coming from the same soundtrack as 'WHEN I WAS OLDER', and yes, Michael Kiwanuka still exists *.) making a splash after just missing out last week, while former Jadakissnia artiste K Á R Y Y N lands a new entry with a collaboration with an artificial intelligence (some pretty harsh instrumental sounds here but it sounds good to me) and the new entries are completed by the new one from Jessie Ware, a grime throwback from Unknown T (sampling an early Tinie Tempah track) and a very belated low debut for Calvin Harris' latest hit with Rag'n'Bone Man which has been slowly growing on me for weeks. Lauv & Troye also return at a new peak after being slightly prematurely thrown out last week.

It's another week with a brand new entry at #1, although if I wasn't hiding it from my chart due to it being my still-confidential current BJSC entry it would have been charting for a couple of weeks already (and possibly even already at #1 the previous week), it's up and coming female rapper Rico Nasty's short and aggressive bangerino 'Roof'. Coming to DNQ but at least I know issa bop. Incidentally this is the second #1 on my revived charts that's produced by Kenny Beats (following JPEGMAFIA's 'Puff Daddy' on which he was a credited artist). Rico has a second new entry lower down, but this one is a genuine new entry as it was a new song from her that happened to drop just before confirmations for BJSC closed; her feature on the trashy bop 'Tia Tamera' by Doja Cat (of 'bitch I'm a cow' fame), which lands in at #12. It's an all female top 2 as Ariana Grande climbs three places to #2 with 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored', while her album track 'bad idea' also makes a slightly belated splash at #17 (I've not heard the album in full but am slowly making my way through all the tracks and this is easily the best of the album tracks I've heard so far). Last week's #1 from AJ Tracey slips to #3 (still yet to have a #1 slip only one place ) and the top 5 is completed by Vampire Weekend dropping one to #4 and Travis Scott falling three places to #5.

Two songs make hefty climbs into the top 10, with TR/ST's 'Gone' surging for a second straight week to #6 after debuting in the very tail end of the top 40 two weeks ago (while he too has a new song impacting this week, 'Unbleached' making a bigger debut of #22), and ionnalee shooting up 16 places to #10 with 'OPEN SEA'. Sam Fender also advances another place to a new peak of #7 while Trippie Redd and Bring Me The Horizon drop to #8 and #9 respectively. In yet another busy week there are ten more new entries. Juice WRLD missed out on a new entry with the heavily ~emo~ 'Robbery' last week but it's grown considerably now and debuts just short of the top 10, Dave's excellent anti-racism track also launches in the top 15 and there's a top 20 debut for Petit Biscuit with a gloriously glitchy electronic track, a refreshing new sound for him. Duke Dumont enters in the top 30 with a seedy 2am club vibes bop and the lower quarter of the chart features a bunch of hip-hop songs of various stripes (shouty punky rap from slowthai, lyrical 'conscious' rap from Boogie and Eminem, trashy UK drill from DigDat and Loski, more of JPEGMAFIA's trademark ultra aggressive rap as a guest on a sadly far too short banger from HEALTH, and even a bit of Chinese language rap from Higher Brothers, helped out by being this week's obligatory new entry with a J.I.D feature). The odd one out is The Amazons who sneak in with some Radio 1 friendly rock. They're apparently from Reading. I support local talent! There's also one re-entry for J. Cole who gets a new peak with 'MIDDLE CHILD' following the release of its music video.

Hello Bré!
Nice to see the debuts for "Black" and "Mother"!
I need to hear Duke Dumont's new song!
Great chart!

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 1st March 2019, 07:52 PM

Hi Bré, haven't commented on here in a while so thought I'd do it now!

Giving your #1 a listen now, yeah once again sounds like your sort of thing and not mine She sounds very Card B-esque.

Heard Black on the chart show this afternoon, a very poignant song with a strong message, should be charting higher than it is

Giving the UNKLE song you charted a listen now as well, quite different from their other stuff but still sounding nice nonetheless!

Great chart

hi Bray!

wasn't a huge fan of your BJSC entry sadly
listening to Ladbroke Grove now, sounding great; we don't have enough garage tunes these days.
liking Robbery and Black from your new entries.

great chart!

Posted by: Bré 9th March 2019, 02:42 PM

Duke Dumont's song is a little different from him and more of an underground release than anything but yes, would still recommend x



I am shocked and chagrinned!!! But yeah, this entry wasn't exactly part of 'project appeal to Niceland', we'll get that done some time this year... maybe x (your entry on the other hand was great and would have got pretty high points from me, aw). 'Black' did pretty well to even make the top 40 really, it's a fantastic song but doesn't really strike me as the sort of thing people would stream on loop! Glad you enjoyed the UNKLE song as well ~



It's ok, no one was I'm really hoping 'Ladbroke Grove' will get pushed as a proper single soon so it has a chance of going top 40, though not holding my breath for that (especially as he's just dropped a video for 'Necklace' instead) - it's holding up well as an album track though so the demand is there for a UKG revival!!

I hadn't exactly planned to be charting 5 songs by The Prodigy this week but in the wake of the awful news about Keith Flint (RIP), I've been whacking on their discography all week so it has to be reflected in here! I could easily have charted way more of their classic tracks but I'm holding it back a bit to leave some room for more current releases (consider all their others to be on ACR x), as it were the two highest charting songs are from their most recent album 'No Tourists' anyway. 'We Live Forever' was already one of the highlights of the album for me but stands out even more in the wake of the news, it goes in at the top spot to give my favourite act of all time a new #1 song on my chart, it's their fourth #1 on the various incarnations of my chart (following 'Take Me To The Hospital', 'Invaders Must Die' and 'Nasty', while 'The Day Is My Enemy' peaked at #2 only blocked from the top by 'Nasty', and Liam Howlett also has a 5th #1 as a solo artist featuring on Pendulum's 'Immunize') and they'd probably have had more if my chart was still going during the launch of the 'No Tourists' era last year, and indeed if my earliest charts started a bit earlier (I started too late for 'Omen' and 'Warrior's Dance' to have their full impact, both would have been easy #1s as well). Back to my current chart, 'Timebomb Zone' makes a belated debut at #4 after only just missing out on being in the top 40 of my first chart of the year, and the album's second single 'Light Up The Sky' makes an impression at #24, while their two biggest obvious classics 'Breathe' and 'Firestarter' (my favourite and second favourite song of all time respectively), both prominently featuring Keith's vocals, fight through the ACR to land on my current chart at #11 and #16.

Blocked from achieving his first #1 by these unfortunate circumstances, Sam Fender's 'Play God' continues to climb all the way up to #2, while TR/ST proves to have another grower on his hands as 'Unbleached' now leapfrogs 'Gone' in the chart and easily beats its peak, climbing up to #3. The highest non-The Prodigy new entry is KH (aka Four Tet) with his addictive Nelly Furtado sampling 8 minute (we don't believe in radio edits x) floorfiller 'Only Human' which goes in at #5. Octavian this week released a new version of 'Bet', with Skepta now added to the features alongside Michael Phantom, which drives the song that previously peaked here at #27 to re-enter at a new peak of #7. Still lazy and trashy. Still a bop. Juice WRLD's 'Robbery' continues to rapidly grow on me and jumps to #6 giving Juice his third top 10 hit, maybe still a third top 5 next week, and the top 10 is completed by three falling former #1s, AJ Tracey's 'Ladbroke Grove' down to #8, Vampire Weekend's 'Harmony Hall' dropping to #9 on its current Bré chart era record 6th week in the top 10 and... er... Rico Nasty's 'Roof' falling from #1 to #10 which may be the biggest drop from #1 in my charts ever oops xx it was a pretty busy week in terms of new songs entering high rotation for me in addition to me not listening to it so much following its complete bombing in BJSC

The rest of this week's crop of 17 new entries: Grammy nominated weirdo female rapper Tierra Whack just missing the top 20 with a song that appears to be a parody of mumble rap (complete with using 'ad lib!' as an ad lib *.*), a pretty and artsy Japanese track from N-qia which got my top points in the most recent PopJustice Song Contest, a new electronic-y pop-y track from five time BJSC entrant Kitty (which is still not on Spotify boo), Gesaffelstein and Pharrell Williams' gloriously 80s-y collab (thankfully much better and less problematic than 'Lost In The Fire'), the standout track from Ólafur Arnalds' 're:member' album which I finally listened to this week, a really weird but strangely compelling collaboration between 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar (there's no token J.I.D feature this week so I had to make do with Kendrick's first feature of the year x), also produced by Pharrell, a belated entry for Swarmz and Tion Wayne's GRM Daily bop (growing on me following the release of a new feature-filled remix although the original is still better), an Emeli Sandé-esque belter from Grace Carter, a bit of euphoric pure pop (a rarity in here x) from Carly Rae Jepsen, a new track from MJ Cole that sees him return to his UK garage roots and finally mdh's fave Bladee scraping a second top 40 hit on my chart with a drained out collaboration with Varg (some DJ, not the more infamous Varg of Burzum fame x) (edit: he later changed his name to Varg²™, now retroactively amended). Also 21 Savage's 'a lot' is officially the last song standing that has appeared in all 10 of my 2019 charts. Songs reaching 10 weeks in my top 40 may now prove to be a fairly rare achievement.

Hello Bré!
What sad and tragic news. I've heard the on german radio while working and it was shocking to say the least.
So it's nice to see a lot of Prodigy songs in your chart!
Out of all the debuts (except for the Prodigy debuts), my favourite was "Blast Off", such an amazing song with great production!
Great chart!

Posted by: mdh 14th March 2019, 01:13 AM

Delighted to see "Unbleached" so high - came here to say that I'm now obsessed with Bladee and Yung Lean "Trash Star" really is great isn't it.

I don't know why it took so long for me to click with the whole sad rap scene but I can't get enough of it right now "Kyoto" and "Yoshi City" by Yung Lean are incredible.

Posted by: danG 17th March 2019, 11:27 AM

hi Bré!

01 ** 01 / The Prodigy - We Live Forever / 1- I prefer most of their classics but this is sounding good, a fitting #1 too.
06 11 02 / Juice WRLD - Robbery / 11-6- looks like Fast is going to overtake this in the chart soon, was hoping this would be a bit bigger
39 ** 01 / MJ Cole - Serotonin / 39- this is great! MJ Cole has to be one of the more surprising comebacks recently but I'm enjoying his new output

great chart!

Posted by: Bré 19th March 2019, 12:38 AM

</3

I love the production on 'Blast Off' as well, a return to form for Gesaffelstein as I thought 'Lost In The Fire' was pretty weak all around.

Thanks for the comment as ever



Lmao well I'm here for this classic sudden mdh opinion swap xx 'Kyoto' is still my fave Yung Lean song and 'Yoshi City' is definitely up there too, you should check out 'Hoover' as well if you haven't yet x (and it's not quite making my chart but his new song 'Smirnoff Ice' is also pretty gud)



I don't think 'We Live Forever' is necessarily one of their best songs or anything (I'd still rank it behind 'Timebomb Zone' overall even just from the current album) but it was just the one I was listening to the most due to the fitting lyrics and it being Keith Flint's last recorded vocals with them. It is still a great song as well of course.

I was hoping 'Robbery' would take off more as well but glad it has at least gone top 40. 'Fast' is pretty decent as well so wouldn't mind seeing that give him a bigger hit ~

I wanted to chart 'Mercy' as well but didn't have room for it, very impressed with all of this new MJ Cole stuff!

TR/ST's 'Unbleached' marches forward 3-1 in its third week as it continues to sound better and better on each listen. It swaps place with The Prodigy's 'We Live Forever', as this week 'Breathe' and 'Firestarter' join all their other classics in the recurrent pile (I could still keep them here but I wanted to make room for more new songs etc. and one week in my chart feels like a good enough tribute xx) with 'Light Up The Sky' also dropping off to leave them with just their last 2 singles in this chart. Juice WRLD gets that third top 5 hit on my chart and his highest charting to date but is denied a first #1 as 'Robbery' climbs 6-2, meanwhile 'Hear Me Calling' which missed out on charting the past couple of weeks has also suddenly clicked with me more and launches in at #15. KH's 'Only Human' moves up a place to #4 and slowthai has another big rise to #5 with 'Peace Of Mind', giving him a second consecutive top 5 hit in my chart. The obligatory J.I.D new entry of the week is back, and he gets highest new entry honours with his own song 'Off Da Zoinkys' in at #6, not actually a new song but I've only just heard it following the video release because I'm a flop who doesn't listen to albums. It's less hooky than 'Off Deez' but still has great production and great flow as ever from J.I.D, and the music video has a cat in it, what more can you ask for xx Sam Fender's 'Play God' falls back to #7, while also getting new music video impact is JPEGMAFIA and Kenny Beats' 'Puff Daddy' which hit #1 back in January but dropped off my chart very abruptly, now it's back in heavier rotation for me again it goes straight back in at #8 with one of the weirder chart runs on here. It's third week lucky for Dave's 'Black' to go top 10 as it rises to #9 after two weeks at #14, while follow-up single 'Streatham' debuts at #20, probably expect further rises for both and at least a couple more debuts for him on next week's chart as I do intend to check out the 'Psychodrama' album in full. Continuing to make my chart a little more dancey, Prospa's 'Prayer' goes straight in at #10 as I discovered it through Universal's Radio 1 playlist payola, what a choon ~

There's another bit of fresh music video impact for Wiley et al. who return at their peak of #18 after a few weeks off the chart, while BJSC 112 shows its impact with four new entries, the highest from KOTO at #12 while FEVER 333, Amelie Lens and Sleeping At Last also make it in. Cowtermont are the only nation (other than Persephonia) to have made the Bré Forté with both of their 2019 entries to date (as I've turned out to be a little more selective with these new entries than I expected). Another high dancey new entry comes from The Chemical Brothers at #14 (feels a bit too low, expect a rise next week) while there's a bit of vibey R&B from Solange debuting at #16 and Offset enters at #19 with 'Lick' (I heard clips of a bunch of songs from his album and they all sounded like the same monotonous mess apart from this one song which has a fun bounce to it, reminds me a bit of 'Ric Flair Drip'). It's a good week for indie/rock acts, as well as FEVER 333 and Sleeping At Last there are also new entries for comeback singles from The National and Kishi Bashi, plus a newie from Vampire Weekend (not as good as 'Harmony Hall' but what is) and new singles from Cage The Elephant and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard which impressed me much more than their immediate predecessors (that new King Gizzard song is delightfully weird and cute x). This week's overload of new entries is completed by two more hip-hop tracks (the transatlantic collaboration from Roddy Ricch, Chip and Yxng Bane and a new track from the eternally underrated Denzel Curry in collaboration with producer Charlie Heat) and another dance offering from Joe Goddard and Kool Keith just sneaking in.

TR/ST gets a second week at #1 with 'Unbleached', but will this be my first 3 week #1 of the year? slowthai's 'Peace Of Mind' continues to rise, now surpassing the #4 peak of 'Doorman' by rising up to #2. Climbers also fill out the rest of the top 5. When Wiley and co. first entered my chart at #18 with 'Boasty' it dropped quickly, but it's having better luck following its re-entry at the same position last week, rising this week to #3 after being a big earworm. J.I.D rises to #4 with 'Off Da Zoinkys' and The Chemical Brothers have a big second week with 'We've Got To Try' up to #5, matching the peak of 'MAH'. KH drops two places to #6 with 'Only Human'. Dave's 'Black' moves up to another new peak of #7 while he also rises into the top 10 at #9 with 'Streatham' and has two new entries in the top 30 with his other UK charting songs 'Disaster' and 'Location' (still not heard the album so more new entries could still be coming). Juice WRLD's 'Robbery' falls to #8 from its #2 peak last week and the top 10 is rounded out by this week's highest new entry, the long awaited comeback of ScHoolboy Q with the amazingly titled banger 'Numb Numb Juice'.

Following the release of the music video (which has helped the song grow on me more, but the video alone is worthy of the song being here tbh) Carly Rae Jepsen comes straight back in at a much higher new peak of #14 with 'Now That I Found You'. There's also a re-entry from the music video effect lower down for Ski Mask The Slump God's 'Faucet Failure'. As for the rest of the new entries, I was slightly late to checking out The Cranberries' lead single from their last album with the late Dolores O'Riordan on vocals but glad I did hear it now as it's wonderful, a new entry in the top 20. Marshmello & CHVRCHES also enter in the top 20 as the song is rapidly growing on me (despite the basic production xx). A new track from Kendrick Lamar Anderson .Paak, 'King Kunta James', also lands in the top 30 alongside a random Hot 100 hip-hop hit from Yo Gotti and Lil Baby. In the lower quarter of the chart are five more new entries: George Ezra's latest singalong friendly single, a fun bit of dancey indie from Friendly Fires, more dancey indie from Foals (finally a song from their new album I actually like yay), LSD's fairly generic but very catchy new one and... a very belated debut for Billie Eilish and Khalid's collab, an old song but I've only just heard it now while peeping songs from the last Hot 100 which I'd not heard xx and also charting it to protest how underwhelming Billie's current single is tbh x

In this week-old chart, ScHoolboy Q zoomed up from his #10 debut to grab a week at the top with the bite-sized banger 'Numb Numb Juice', the second time he's been at #1 in my charts following his feature on Tinashe's '2 On' which had a week at #1 during the original Bré Forté era. TR/ST's 'Unbleached' became my first chart topper of the year to not drop to at least #3 after leaving the top, dropping just a place to #2 in its fourth week in the top 3 (a record for the year to date) after two weeks in pole position. It was a slow week for new entries but still high turnover in the top 10, with particularly indie/rock songs making large strides - The National's 'You Had Your Soul With You' and Cage The Elephant's 'House Of Glass' skyrocketed to #3 and #4 respectively after both spending two previous weeks much lower down, while Kishi Bashi's 'Summer Of '42' also cracked the top 10 in its third week at #9 and The Cranberries climbed to #8 on their second week with 'All Over Now'. Two further songs entered the top 10 for the first time, Marshmello and CHVRCHES flying to #6 with 'Here With Me' while Solange's 'Almeda' got a second wind to rise to a new peak of #10. The other survivors from the previous week's top 10: slowthai's 'Peace Of Mind' falling 2-5 and J.I.D's 'Off Da Zoinkys' retreating 4-7.

There were 'only' 7 new entries, with two of those being belated debuts for album tracks from ROSALÍA's wonderful 2nd album 'El Mal Querer' as I finally got around to hearing the full album (on vinyl no less *.*). The three highest new entries were various flavours of hip-hop, with top debut honours going to /r/hiphopheads' 2nd favourite semi-experimental hip-hop group Injury Reserve with a glitchy banger assisted by Aminé of 'Caroline' fame, launching at #12. Also entering the top 20 was Lizzo with her first chart appearance for me, a #thiccbitch anthem featuring Missy Elliott which is by far the best thing she's dropped so far. Grrrrd. Another experimental-ish hip-hop-ish track, Flume's collab with new Bré chart fave slowthai (and HWLS, whoever that is) also debuted while there were low top 40 entries for a dance instrumental from Kölsch and Sasha and another new track from TR/ST which has proven to once again be a grower.

And back up to date, The National complete their climb to the top with the wonderful 'You Had Your Soul With You' which has only sounded better and better over time - that rose two places to the #1 slot, knocking down the previous top 2 of ScHoolboy Q's 'Numb Numb Juice' and TR/ST's 'Unbleached' down a place each (the latter showing truly unprecedented longevity for my 2019 charts' standards). The hotshot debut (and a heavy favourite to rise to #1 next week) goes to ROSALÍA who's clearly chasing a proper hit with her new track 'Con Altura', a collaboration with reggaetón giant J Balvin and El Guincho who produced her previous album, but it's still an absolute bop and a half and it still showcases her wonderful voice so I'm not complaining. That just beats out another Spanish (although Galician language) track, my current BJSC entry 'Olvídame' by Baiuca and Aliboria which can now appear on my chart after a couple of weeks of being 'starred out' and launches at #5. Another track from the same EP, 'Caroi', also debuts at #20. The previous week's 3 highest debuts all climb into the top 10, though not quite in the same order as Flume, HWLS and slowthai leapfrog the other two to shoot up 20 place to #6 with 'High Beams'. Injury Reserve and Aminé's 'Jailbreak The Tesla' rises to just behind it at #7 while Lizzo and Missy Elliott climb up #9 with 'Tempo'. slowthai's 'Peace Of Mind' stays top 10 for a fourth week dropping 5-8 (after his previous hit 'Doorman' spent only four weeks in the entire top 40 oops) and Cage The Elephant round out the top 10 with 'House Of Glass' falling to #10.

A string-laden beauty from Apparat which just missed out on entering the top 40 the previous week makes up for it with a strong #13 debut this week. Catfish And The Bottlemen's best and most instant single to date for me launches at #23, twelve places higher than 'Longshot' got to, while there's also a top 30 debut for the GRM Daily-tastic collab between Steel Banglez, AJ Tracey and MoStack - it's no 'Ladbroke Grove' but nice that it gave AJ a first UK top 10 hit nonetheless. A few more tracks that just missed the previous top 40 but debut on second chance, a retro soul sampling tune from Burna Boy (of Dave fame) and DJDS (of BJSC fame), the surprisingly slow-burning but long-awaited comeback from Tame Impala (very glad this grew on me after finding it a bit too wishy-washy on first listen) and a new track from chill merchant Chris Malinchak. Rounding out the top 40 are two slightly older songs making belated debuts after the release of new music videos, bringing the total number of new entries to 11: Denzel Curry, Twelve'len and GoldLink's collab which is a lot more soulful and easy listening than the Denzel song I sent to the BJSC Halloween II spinoff, and a track from Yves Tumor which I checked out as a random YouTube recommendation with an eye-catching name (which I remember from seeing in Doctor Blind's chart x), a pretty cool little experimental-ish pop track. Vampire Weekend's 'Harmony Hall' becomes the second song to reach 10 weeks on my 2019 charts, matching the record set by 21 Savage's 'a lot', can it last at least one more week?

Hello Bré!
Really like the debuts for "2all" and "Fashion Week"! (Never thought I would like "Fashion Week" a lot than I do!)
Great chart!

Posted by: danG 6th April 2019, 09:41 AM

Fashion Week is rather good, glad that's one of the token UK rap top 10s of the moment over certain other songs elsewhere in the chart
Patience sounded alright on first listen but I've already forgotten how it sounded like

Posted by: Bré 23rd April 2019, 06:17 PM

That was pretty much what I thought too (didn't chart it in its first week) but it has been a grower albeit still not a huge fave.

Thanks Sergej for the last comment too, getting dangerously close to having to post 3 charts at once oops so 2 charts coming here now and hopefully the next one will be here on time lol x

A week after debuting at #4, ROSALÍA, J Balvin and El Guincho ascended to the top spot with 'Con Altura', making ROSALÍA only the second female artist to get to #1 for me this year (after the blink and you'll miss it run of Rico Nasty's Roof'). The National's 'You Had Your Soul With You' slipped a place to #2 and ScHoolboy Q dropped two to #2 with 'Numb Numb Juice', behind another climb for Flume, HWLS & slowthai's 'High Beams', up three places to #3 to give slowthai his third top 5 hit of the year. Lower down the chart he also managed another top 40 appearance at #39 with new track 'Gorgeous'. Our BJSC entry 'Olvídame' by Baiuca feat. Aliboria held at #5, at this time we still did not know how it would do in the contest ;o TR/ST's 'Unbleached' fell three places to #6 while he also had the highest new entry of the week at #8 with the gloriously dark 'Colossal', his third top 10 hit of the year. The last three songs in the top 10 were all returning to the region: Dave shot up to a new peak of #7 with 'Streatham' (no particular reason, was just listening to it more), James Blake & ROSALÍA's collab 'Barefoot In The Park' returned to the chart strongly at #9 following the release of its music video and J.I.D went back up a place to #10 with 'Off Da Zoinkys'.

It was another clearout week with a ton more newies. Vampire Weekend landed on the chart with both of their 2 new releases this time, the more generally underrated of the two charting higher for me just outside the top 10 with the other making the low top 30. (Unfortunately 'Harmony Hall' fell off this week meaning there's still yet to be a song topping 10 weeks in my chart so far this year). Hot Chip's comeback did not disappoint as the house anthem (with a great music video) debuted at #12. A little behind at #14 was a slightly belated new entry for the massive viral country trap smash from Lil Nas X, I decided not to credit Billy Ray Cyrus as I do like the original more (as surprisingly decent as Billy's verse is). (edit from the future: although a later remix with Young Thug and Mason Ramsey also added charted for me as well so he got his recognition in the end x) Also debuting in the top 20 was a big dance track from Europa (aka Jax Jones and Martin Solveig), with Madison Beer who I would never have expected to ever appear in my chart based on how awful her solo material is xx A bunch more new entries of diverse genres lined up just outside the top 20: Billie Eilish's latest semi-weird pop smash, Sky Ferreira's long-awaited beautifully orchestrated comeback, electronic rock with a high budget and somewhat controversial music video from Rammstein (can we appreciate that being an actual UK top 100 hit in 2019 though *.*) and ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS THRASH METAL (!) from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Completing the new entries in the lower quarter of the chart were Ariana Grande & Victoria Monét's fun throwaway track, a newly released leftover from JPEGMAFIA's 'Veteran' album featuring some lovely vocals from Eyas, the slightly unusually sparse for its genre track from JAY1, Modset Mouse's somewhat lowkey comeback single and Dominic Fike's possible future hit landing on here following promotion on the BROCKHAMPTON YouTube channel (more about BROCKHAMPTON in the next chart )

ROSALÍA and co. held on for a second week at the top spot with 'Con Altura', holding off a big 10 place rise for previous week's debut 'Hungry Child' by Hot Chip. With BJSC 113 coming to a close this was the impact week for our faves from the contest with songs from it taking the two highest new entries and 5 new entries in all - Thelonia's entry 'Creator's Flower' by k?d became the highest charting foreign BJSC entry of the year so far for me at #3 (if only it was that high in the contest) while Lotunia's Hawa Boussim landed at #7 with 'Koregore'. Our own entry 'Olvídame' by Baiuca & Aliboria, which came 2nd in the contest (*.*) climbed a place to a new peak of #4. FSR Rontvia's DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ debuted in the top 20, Beaverdonia's atlantida project in the top 25 and Trifoski's The Comet Is Coming just inside the top 40 (Elëdan's entries have just narrowly failed to chart for us 3 months in a row oops). The National's 'You Had Your Soul With You' held onto a top 5 place down three places to #5, James Blake & ROSALÍA climbed 3 places to #6 with 'Barefoot In The Park', only two places behind its previous peak now, and the top 10 was completed by three more songs new to the region. The highest non-BJSC new entry was one of 3 newly released songs from BROCKHAMPTON's Kevin Abstract (with 3 more released now and another 3 coming this week so expect more impact from him soon), the very OutKast inspired 'Joyride' debuting at #10, just ahead of the previous week's BROCKHAMPTON-adjacent new entry from Dominic Fike which rockets up 40-11. Billie Eilish's 'bad guy' shot up to #8 in its second week (a place higher than 'bury a friend' charted despite me actually still preferring that oops, and her third top 10 hit) while Vampire Weekend picked up their second top 10 hit of this era up two to #9 with 'Unbearably White'.

The new single from Chase And Status' era, which keeps with their return to jungle music (hence the title of the album), with featured artist Irah lands in as a new entry at #14, should enter the top 10 next week, a banger x the last new entry in the top 20 is a rapidly rising Hot 100 hip-hop hit from the awfully named DaBaby (was Lil Baby not bad enough x), an up and coming rapper with an infectious energy and a great sense of humour in his music videos. Speaking of music videos, two songs with newly released music videos sneak into the top 20, yet another grower from Juice WRLD and my favourite song that I've heard so far from Christine And The Queens' new album, with production reminiscent of HAIM's best songs. A couple of big dance tracks debut just outside the top 30, CamelPhat's update to a decade old Calvin Harris classic and the more up to date track from Meduza and GOODBOYS which has grown on me a lot even if it still just sounds like a Disciples reject. The late Nipsey Hussle (RIP) has a new entry with his YG collaboration which was my favourite of the various songs from him which entered the Hot 100 in the aftermath of his murder. The last few new entries come from Tierra Whack (also entering following a video release - featuring sentient potatoes - after just missing out when the song was first released a few weeks earlier), a genre-bending Radio 1 Introducing playlist track from Naomi Banks and another top 40 scrape for local-to-me rock band The Amazons (although this one will probably climb to a more respectable position next week).

Hello Bré!
Nice to see "Bad Guy" reach the top 10 and "3 Nights" getting into the top 20, both of these songs are my personal favourites right now!
From your debuts I like "Piece Of Your Heart", "Comme Si", "I'm Not Alone" and "Doubt It"!
Great chart!

It was a first for the year to date as ROSALÍA, J Balvin and El Guincho held on for a third week at the top spot with 'Con Altura', holding Hot Chip's 'Hungry Child' at bay at #2 for a second week. Kevin Abstract shot up 7 places to #3 with 'Joyride' while simultaneously landing three new entries lower down ('Georgia' and 'Big Wheels', dropped at the same time as 'Joyride', making solid debuts a week late while new release 'Baby Boy' just scraped in as well). The National's 'You Had Your Soul With You' rose back a place to #4 meaning it spent 5 weeks in a row in unique positions in the top 5, how satisfying x behind that was a big rise into the top 5 for DaBaby's 'Suge' with Dominic Fike's '3 Nights' also rising into the top 10 just behind it. Highest new entry honours at #7 went to one of two newly released 7-minute techno collabs between Alan Fitzpatrick (a name I was not previously familiar with) and the more established CamelPhat; 'Kona' landed in as the higher of the two, with 'Liberation' also making it into the low top 40. There was also a second new entry in the top 10 at #10 for Four Tet with the lovely 'Teenage Birdsong' (when will The RSPB?), following up his big hit on my chart with 'Only Human' under his KH alias. k?d's 'Creator's Flower' became the first non-Persephonian BJSC entry this year to get a second week in my top 10, falling 3-8, while Christine And The Queens completed the top 10 with a big rise to #9 with 'Comme Si'.

Tame Impala's second single from their new album ended up making a bigger impression on me than the lead, with this track entering at #19 (still lower than the peak of their Theophilus London collab 'Whiplash') after just missing the top 40 the previous week. A discovery from Jade's personal chart, AURORA entered just outside the top 20 with her best song to date. The week's random hip-hop new entry that no one else will know or care about came from Hit-Boy and SOB X RBE (of Black Panther soundtrack fame) also just outside the top 20. Club Bizarre VII showed some impact with our own entry from Kuedo and our favourite song of the contest from Rival Consoles both entering the top 30. The week's new entries were completed by Mark Ronson & Lykke Li's collab (better than 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart' for me, I may be alone in that opinion), a new gloriously 80s sounding track from Nuggets artiste Drab Majesty, a belated entry for Alec Benjamin whose song I always liked but I obvz waited for it to go top 40 in the UK before charting it cos #commercialhoe, Florence + The Machine's haunting Game of Thrones track and the new and rather underrated one from Carly Rae Jepsen.

Following their lowkey debut at #31 the previous week, Drab Majesty made a surprise rise all the way to the #1 spot with 'Ellipsis' as I caught myself in a week of suddenly being really into some dark-ish electronic-ish music more than usual. This also helped TR/ST's 'Colossal' to return to the top 10 at a new peak of #6, and could perhaps also apply to the highest new entry at #4, with Molchat Doma's 'Tancevat' (our BJSC 114 entry) finally being allowed to chart as the contest began (though it's been on and off major rotation for us since December last year). Following the release of the full version of his 'ARIZONA BABY' album, Kevin Abstract continued climbing to a new peak of #2 with 'Joyride' while landing another two top 40 new entries, 'Peach' just outside the top 10 and 'Use Me' just scraping the top 40. ROSALÍA & co.'s 'Con Altura' slipped to third after three weeks at the summit while Hot Chip fell to #5 with 'Hungry Child'. Christine And The Queens climbed another two places to a new peak of #7 with 'Comme Si', Billie Eilish's 'you should see me in a crown' made a return at a new peak of #8 (her fourth top 10 hit of the year) after being absent from the chart for three months as the song was hitting me all over again after checking out the official video (much better than the previous 'vertical video' which is rather unwatchable for an arachnophobe x), Four Tet scooted up a place to a new peak of #9 with 'Teenage Birdsong' and the top 10 was closed out by the highest non-BJSC new entry, Stormzy's new banger and UK #1 hit 'Vossi Bop'.

The rest of the songs I listened to from the Game of Thrones 'For The Throne' compilation album were pretty underwhelming but ROSALÍA delivered as ever and landed another top 20 hit here with her collab with A.CHAL for the album. Two Door Cinema Club also landed a top 20 debut with the second single from their new album, a big improvement on the lead 'Talk' which did not chart for me. A couple of semi-obscure instrumentals entered the top 25, a newie from post-rock gods 65daysofstatic (who get a second top 40 hit on my chart this year following the belated debut of their Unknown Pleasures appearance) and a rather quirky new track from Flying Lotus. Less obscure was the debut just inside the top 30 for BTS & Halsey which turned out to be a big grower for me after I initially passed it off as hookless and forgettable. Oops. x Also finally debuting after a few weeks just under the radar was Zara Larsson's best song to date, and the top 40 debuts were completed by Beyoncé's one new song from her 'Homecoming' live album (a bouncey bop x) and random Radio 1 reggae fave Koffee.

Back up to date and my top 2 is back as it was the last time I updated in here - 'Con Altura' by ROSALÍA and J Balvin featuring El Guincho climbs back two places to #1 for a fourth week, becoming the first song of the year to return to #1 for me and doubling the longest run any other song has managed at the top so far in 2019, while Hot Chip returned to #2 with 'Hungry Child', its third week there without yet hitting #1 (denied all three times by ROSALÍA, the greedy hen). The temporary disturbers to the top 2 decline again within the top 10, Drab Majesty falling back from #1 to #4 with 'Ellipsis', Kevin Abstract's 'Joyride' falling 2-8 and Molchat Doma's 'Tancevat' dropping 4-10. No new entries grace the top 10 but four songs do climb into the region for the first time. Top 20 new entries from the previous week, Two Door Cinema Club's 'Satellite' flies all the way up to #3 (this is the 2DCC I used to stan ) and ROSALÍA and A.CHAL rise to #7 with 'Me Traicionaste', giving ROSALÍA her third top 10 hit of the year (out of three new releases). It was a slightly longer wait of 4 weeks on the chart for Tierra Whack's 'Unemployed' to enter the top 10, shooting up 15-5, and also 4 weeks for The Amazons' 'Doubt It' which explodes to #6 after three weeks floundering outside the top 30. Christine And The Queens' 'Comme Si' completed the top 10, clinging on to the lower half of the tier for a third week in a row, falling two places to #9.

Highest new entry honours in a relatively underwhelming week of new releases goes to slowthai with the title track of his upcoming debut album, which debuts at #16 to become his fifth top 40 hit, an improvement over previous single 'Gorgeous' but time will tell if it can give him a 4th top 10 hit. Song contests provide 4 of the week's 12 new entries, with our own Nuggets 11 entry from Marissa Nadler and Stephen Brodsky the highest at #25 ahead of a top 30 debut for our favourite from the contest from Zeal & Ardor and a top 40 for our second fave, the winning entry from Brutus. Following last night's BJSC 114 semi-final results there's also a top 30 debut for our favourite of the month's DNQs, Aesthetica's entry from Thelma Aoyama which was truly robbed, an addictive banger. A couple more new releases debut in the top 25, a rather different sounding new track from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and a collab between BURNS (or 'Lies' fame), A$AP Rocky and Sabrina Claudio (who has a very lovely voice x). The weekly new entry from J.I.D returns as the release of a music video for '151 Rum' led me to finally hear the song (flop fan as usual) which was the lead single from his latest album, it's not quite his best song but still a banger and it enters in the top 30. Catfish And The Bottlemen land a third top 40 hit from their new album while the last few new entries come from Shawn Mendes' new remix of 'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back' song, The National finally landing a second top 40 hit to follow up their #1 after two other songs from them failed to chart since that, and our former BJSC winners A-WA just managing their second top 40 hit of the year as they continue to drop quality Arabic bops.

Missed it last week but great to see 65daysofstatic getting another song in your top 40, and shocked to see Olvídame leave your chart so quickly! It's done the opposite for me in that it's been a real grower, and in fact it's actually at #4 in my personal chart this week (not that I publish it anymore because effort, I'll probably upload all of the missing charts at some point this summer), matching the peak it had for you!

Looking forward to seeing the potential impact that BJSC and Eurovision have on your chart soon.

Posted by: danG 22nd May 2019, 10:07 AM

oh my at Rosalia getting 4 weeks at #1, you really do stan. song's ok I guess.
really like the Stormzy comeback and I listened to Suge the other day as it's high in the US chart, which is also rather good, shame it doesn't appear to be doing anything in the UK. 3 Nights also growing on me a bit.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 22nd May 2019, 08:51 PM

Nice to see Hot Chip still nice and high for you, that was a real grower for me!

Giving the slowthai song a listen now... sounds like something you'd like Not doing anything for me oops.

Nice to see Satellite so high as well, not as good as Talk for me but still a very solid track!

Posted by: Bré 23rd May 2019, 04:01 PM

65daysofstatic are apparently releasing a ton of paid Bandcamp exclusive material this year, I don't think I like them enough to justify paying to hear the rest of it but glad they at least made this one track available on YouTube (although not Spotify annoyingly). I tend to not really continue listening to BJSC songs for very long after the contests end including my own oops (I still listen to older BJSC faves but only via a big playlist on shuffle) - pretty much all songs leave my chart fairly quickly anyway though great to hear that it has continued to grow on you anyway *.*

BJSC/Eurovision impact coming up with my brand new actually on time chart in a couple of posts!!1



Everyone should stan tbh xx (I don't even think this is her best song or anything but it's just a massive bop that's somehow held at the top of my affections for a lot longer than most other songs I've loved this year).

I think 'Suge' will probably at least end up being a minor hit here along with 'Pop Out', I see it has now entered the Spotify top 200 as well.



Hot Chip also experiencing unusual longevity for me and that and ROSALÍA have continued to be high as the next two posts reveal, oh my. x

You picked probably the least Pete friendly slowthai song to listen to haha. (Not that I particularly think you'd like any of his other songs either, mind).

I thought 'Talk' was ok but just a little too basic and like it could have been made by anyone, 'Satellite' feels much more like a classic TDCC song to me!

This was another week, like with Drab Majesty two weeks earlier, where the #1 is one of the previous week's lower debuts suddenly blasting into the lead after hearing it more times in its second week - this time it's 'Energy' by BURNS, A$AP Rocky and Sabrina Claudio exploding 24-1, a really brilliant blend of dance, R&B and hip-hop, I think this song has gone a little under the radar on BuzzJack and it deserves more attention so people should listen to it xx A$AP Rocky also has a new entry in the top 20 featuring on the new song from fellow A$AP Mob member Ferg (featuring a sample of Sheck Wes' 'Mo Bamba' lol) in what is a very hip-hop heavy week of new entries. Two Door Cinema Club's 'Satellite' climbs again to #2 in its third week. Hot Chip's 'Hungry Child' finally manages to overtake 'Con Altura' by ROSALÍA, J Balvin and El Guincho but still has to settle for falling a place to #3, having likely missed its chance of a #1 peak now, while 'Con Altura' slips back to #4 from the top spot. Better news for ROSALÍA came with her A.CHAL collaboration 'Me Traicionaste' joining 'Con Altura' in the top 5, becoming her third top 5 hit of the year. The highest new entry, and only one in the top 10, came in at #7 for Denzel Curry (of my BJSC Halloween II entry fame) with his fresh new banger 'RICKY' which follows two previous appearances in the low 30s for Curry earlier in the year. Dominic Fike returned to the top 10 for a second week at #8 with '3 Nights' while the rest of the top 10 were in decline, Tierra Whack's 'Unemployed' down a place to #6, The Amazons' 'Doubt It' down 3 to #9 and Drab Majesty's 'Ellipsis' slumping 4-10.

While the two highest new entries came from American rappers, there's also some good representation in the newies of this week from British rappers, the highest being at #20 for Digga D's drill hit which I thought was pretty boring at first but it's wormed its way into my head. Down in the 30s there were also new entries for Manchester's Bugzy Malone (also a grower, had to get used to the accent x), another drill (ish) hit from Hardy Caprio and DigDat and the less mainstream Barny Fletcher who becomes the latest Radio 1 Introducing playlist act to chart, he's another rapper in a similar lane to Kendrick Lamar/Anderson .Paak/J.I.D which I clearly always am a fan of. Speaking of Anderson .Paak he also had a new entry featuring on another track from Flying Lotus' new album which matched the #25 entry of his previous hit. The only non hip-hop new entries came in the form of the 2 best album tracks from Billie Eilish's album which I finally listened to, both entering the top 30, and a dance track from Lone scraping into the top 40 (thanks to Spotify's Release Radar for that one although it was a few weeks late). There were also two re-entries following, as often seems to be the cause of re-entries, music video releases - Bring Me The Horizon nabbed a new peak with 'mother tongue' becoming their second top 20 hit for me while AJ Tracey's former #1 snuck back into the top 40 for a week (and now I've seen it is back off ACR, maybe it might still yet become a UK top 40 hit too, though I'm still not holding my breath).

BJSC 114 and the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest both unload a bunch of new entries on my chart this week (4 and 5 respectively). I came pretty close to having only my second ever Eurovision personal chart #1 (following Aminata's 'Love Injected') but ultimately it wasn't to be as BURNS, A$AP Rocky and Sabrina Claudio's 'Energy' holds on for a second week at the top. Eurovision wins the battle of the song contests for highest new entry as the gorgeous understated Slovene entry 'Sebi' by Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl zalagasper as they're now called debuts at #2, while my fave from BJSC, Elëdan's entry 'Yad' by Erika Lundmoen, enters at #4 (after Elëdan's 3 previous entries in 2019 all just missed out on my top 40). The top 5 is completed by the 2 unusually long runners, Hot Chip's 'Hungry Child' stationary at #3 and ROSALÍA and J Balvin down a place to #5 with 'Con Altura' (feat. El Guincho) on their 6th and 8th straight weeks in the top 5 respectively. Two Door Cinema Club's 'Satellite' falls back from #2 to #6, ROSALÍA and A.CHAL's 'Me Traicionaste' reverts back down to #7 and Tierra Whack's 'Unemployed' falls three to #9. The highest non song contest new entry is 'Greaze Mode' by Skepta feat. Travis Scott Nafe Smallz which enters at #8 having grown a lot since it missed out on a top 40 place the previous week. slowthai's 'Nothing Great About Britain' completes the top 10, climbing to #10 in its third week to become the fourth top 10 for slowthai. slowthai and Skepta also simultaneously debut inside the top 30 with a new collaboration.

Iceland's Hatari had only my third favourite performance in Eurovision but I liked the studio version a lot more than the live version, which helps it actually enter as the second highest Eurovision song inside the top 15. Azerbaijan's Chingiz and Spain's Miki Núñez debut in the top 30 and the last Eurovision new entry is Portugal's Conan Osíris which missed out on the final but I still made sure to check it out along with the other DNQs despite not watching the semi-finals (with Osíris' '100 Paciência' being one of the aforementioned Elëdan BJSC entries that just missed my top 40). The other BJSC debuts are Fljótavík's DJ Mehdi in the top 20 (actually a song from 2006 but new to me) and Terra Avium's Altın Gün (not a Eurovision entry as much as the title might look like one!) and Skall's Against All Logic inseparable in the high 30s.

Back to non song contest related new entries, Tyler, The Creator's incoming actual hit single debuts just outside my top 10, probably expect a rise for this one next week and maybe some more Tyler entries at some point whenever I get around to hearing his album. An afrobeat flavoured banger from GoldLink featuring Maleek Berry and Bibi Bourelly debuts in the top 15, Lewis Capaldi finally makes his debut on my chart just outside the top 20 as his new single has suddenly hit me in the feels, a new track from REZZ which sounds exactly the same as all her other songs (this is a good thing) debuts top 30, The Midnight's newie enters the top 40 as it hits the same unique blend of melancholy and euphoria as their BJSC entries (thanks Jade for making me aware they had new material x) and a couple of new rock songs close out the top 40 from The Black Keys (the first single from their new album that I've been particularly impressed by) and Biffy Clyro (not their best song but still pretty good and hey, it's only for a soundtrack x).

Hello Bré!
Nice to see Eurovision impacted your chart, all the Eurovision songs are great, even though (unpopular opinion) I didn't get Portugal entry.
I also like the debut for "Hold Me While You Wait"!
Great chart!

Posted by: danG 24th May 2019, 02:39 PM

Took a listen to the Burns song, sounding rather good.
Quite liked the Slovenian entry but not one of my proper faves, didn't manage to make my top 100.
Not familiar with Tyler's previous songs but I'm liking the sound of Earfquake, glad that's doing it for him.
Liking the BJSC entries here too.

Didn't see you'd posted your chart oops but great to see Sebi so high, just one place lower than it is on my chart I don't know what it is about it, it certainly stood out and I think it's the type of track that really gets me with the melody and smooth instrumentation if you get what I mean.

Nice to see Truth enter as well! That was great in its own right but I think it was overshadowed in such a good contest for me this year.

Enjoying the Altin Gun song as well, a real earworm! (even if I don't know what it's about)

Great chart

Hi Bré,

Nice Eurovision tracks in your chart.

Rosalia also Top 10

Best new entry: Lewis Capaldi

Posted by: Darwin Turretson 2nd June 2019, 12:59 PM

A BURNS song at number one? Excellent!
I also checked out that Lone track. It's marvellous!
Great to see Hot Chip, Telemoveis, Slowthai and Tyler on the chart.

Not too unpopular an opinion clearly considering it didn't qualify



It's a shame the BURNS song did absolutely nothing despite having a moderately relevant artist on it - I saw it $ma$hing your chart at #81 now though, slay xx 'EARFQUAKE' doesn't really sound like much that he's released before, this album is quite a departure for him.



My charts appear at unpredictable times (apart from consistently showing up in the Multi thread every Thursday / early hours of Friday morning lol). I love how it seems most of the people who particularly liked 'Sebi' on BuzzJack had it as their absolute favourite of the contest! Didn't realise you were one of those as well *.* I kinda wish I had charted it at #1 now but ah well ~

Thanks Sven and Dalek for the comments as well. I approve any ROSALÍA stanning x

~

Time for 2 more charts with a combined 35 new entries (and BURNS taking a bit of a hit from 2 consecutive weeks with a bunch of new faves oops xx).

For the first time in 12 weeks there was a brand new entry at #1 as Halsey's 'Nightmare' turned out to actually be a really great song (after being one I didn't bother listening to in the first week of its release because I don't have much interest in her as an artist). It was a very close race for the #1 though with two other songs surging into the top 3 after debuting in the top 15 the previous week - Tyler, The Creator up to #2 with 'EARFQUAKE' (as his 2 other songs that made the UK chart also debuted here - this was still before I listened to the rest of the album, more newies coming in the next chart x) and GoldLink, Maleek Berry and Bibi Bourelly up to #3 with 'Zulu Screams'. Skepta and Nafe Smallz also moved up to #5 in their second week with 'Greaze Mode', while zalagasper's 'Sebi' also leapfrogged BURNS & co. so it only fell 2-4 while 'Energy' slumped 1-6 after two weeks at the top. ROSALÍA and A.CHAL remained #7 with 'Me Traicionaste', Denzel Curry climbed back up to #8 for a second non-consecutive top 10 week with 'RICKY' (meanwhile debuting in the low top 20 with the follow-up single and scraping the top 40 with a second new entry featuring on another new Flying Lotus song) and the top 10 was completed by two slowthai tracks, 'Nothing Great About Britain' holding at #10 and being overtaken by Skepta collab 'Inglorious' which became slowthai's 5th top 10 hit of the year for me, more than any other artist has managed. It's also Skepta's third top 10 of the year.

MoStack made a belated debut in the top 15 after not making much impact on me when it first came out (but it's now stuck in my head all the time). Other new entries outside the top 20 came in the form of Lana Del Rey's Sublime cover, Hatari's ~controversial statement~ follow-up to their Eurovision hit with assistance from Palestinian artist Bashar Murad, a new track from dance legends Underworld who have apparently been releasing new music every week for months without me realising, David Guetta and RAYE's 'One Kiss'-alike, another identikit GRM Daily afrobashment track from Da Beatfreakz, Swarmz, Deno and Dappy (these songs always worm their way into my head xx), the next rising US hip-hop hit from Lil Tecca, Rammstein's new single which is a good song but we'll not talk about the video, Chase And Status' latest slightly disappointing but still pretty banging single featuring Kabaka Pyramid, Sam Fender finally scoring his second top 40 hit for me after just missing out several times in previous weeks and DJ Khaled's collab with John Legend and the late Nipsey Hussle which was surprisingly good with a nice mix of trap and gospel.

The big impact of this chart comes from me getting around to hearing Tyler, The Creator's excellent new album 'IGOR'. The lead single 'EARFQUAKE' rises one place to become his first #1 for me and he also has 3 more appearances in the top 10, with 'IGOR'S THEME' rising up to #9 but now only being his third highest song as the Kanye-esque 'A BOY IS A GUN*' debuts at #7 while he also goes straight in at #10 with 'WHAT'S GOOD' (one of the more rap-oriented / 'banger' songs on the album). Two more songs from the album also debut in the top 30 so he now has 7 songs in my top 40 (was very nearly 8 but I had to cut one). GoldLink & co. also rise one place to a new peak of #2 with 'Zulu Screams' while Skepta and Nafe Smallz' 'Greaze Mode' rises to #3 for a whole top 3 of songs that debuted 2 weeks ago and have climbed twice since. MoStack shoots up to #4 with 'Wild' which means the #1 takes a bit of a dive a second week in a row, Halsey's time at the top with 'Nightmare' being short as she already falls to #5. I think it'll hold up better next week though. x slowthai and Skepta, another of the debuts from 2 weeks ago, rise further to #6 with 'Inglorious' and Lil Tecca's 'Ransom' also explodes into the top 10 at #8. Halsey thus the only lead artist in the top 10 who doesn't make predominantly hip-hop music, I think that's the most hip-hop dominated top 10 I've had so far this year, had to happen eventually xx

ROSALÍA's latest single doesn't quite land her a top 10 debut, I don't love it as much as 'Con Altura' but it will quite likely still rise into the top 10, it is still another bop from her. A very soothing new track from Trentemøller (thanks YouTube randomly recommending it to me) also debuts in the top 15 as well as another Spanish track from SOFI TUKKER and Bomba Estéreo (both former BJSC faves of mine). Ed Sheeran, Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock debut in the top 20 (so much better than 'I Don't Care) as do another new song from Trippie Redd which is as lyrically deficient as ever but just a vibe, and Young Thug, J. Cole and Travis Scott's hit collab which just missed my top 40 the previous week but has grown as I've got used to Young Thug sounding weirder than ever on his verse. Entering the top 30 are another cut from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's upcoming thrash metal album (*.*) and a new song from Don Toliver (an act signed to Travis Scott's label who sung the hook on Travis' 'CAN'T SAY'). Completing this week's new entry spam there's also NSG's follow-up hit (not as good as 'Options' but still a bop), a new track from Metronomy of catchiest song of all time 'The Look' fame, another track from DJ Khaled's album this time assisted by Cardi B and 21 Savage, a belated debut for Octavian's collab with A$AP Ferg (a pretty pointless feature really), one of the two new songs from the long-absent and mysterious Jai Paul, one of the two new songs from the slightly less long-absent and mysterious Sufjan Stevens and finally Hot Chip's follow-up to 'Hungry Child' which I sadly don't like nearly as much, wish they'd continued with the house sound but this one is still fairly good.

Glad to see EARFQUAKE reach number one and also Skepta's climb, although I'm surprised only Greaze Mode has charted from his album (presumably just because you haven't listened to it yet!).

Also love the new entries from Trentemøller and Metronomy in particular, both are likely to debut in my chart next week, even though the latter isn't quite as amazing as The Look!

Shame Dominic Fike, Rammstein (speaking of which, Deutschland also deserved way more than one week in this chart!) and Lewis Capaldi have dropped out already but that's probably a consequence of your chart's fast turnover!

Great chart!

Posted by: TheJüpreme 17th June 2019, 10:15 PM

Halsey being a #1 for you too :') our taste crossover

Zulu Screams was also my immediate standout from the new GoldLink so that might land for me soon.

Otherwise from this bunch, Con Altura is still Rosalia's standout for me, nice to see Doin Time although a lot lower than it landed on mine, and Hot Chip good to see too although none of their releases so far from this era have super caught me yet. BURNS Energy charted for me a few weeks back but I've not heard talk of it elsewhere so, another we have in common, and the Young Thug song will be landing for me too soon, probs. Great writeup!

Posted by: Bré 20th June 2019, 03:38 PM

I've not listened to Skepta's album so as of that chart I'd only heard 'Greaze Mode' and 'Bullet From A Gun', and the latter took a while to click with me - I have been meaning to listen to a couple of other songs from the album but he has charted a couple more songs from it now at least!

I'd be surprised if Metronomy ever topped 'The Look' but yes this was a pretty good comeback song from them, glad that you liked the Trentemøller song as well! And yeah, '3 Nights' actually had one of the longer chart runs I have had on my chart this year



That's all a pretty decent amount of crossover I've not really cared near as much about the other few songs I've heard from GoldLink ('Crew' was pretty good tho) but this one is a choon ~

Getting back up to date with 2 new charts again now I'll post 2 charts in a row on time again one of these days x

Tyler, The Creator's album tracks went into decline here but he did pick up a second week at #1 with 'EARFQUAKE', remained in the top 10 with 'A BOY IS A GUN*' down two places to #9 and even just about scraped another new entry in the top 40, a rare feature from him alongside Jay Prince on GoldLink's follow-up single - not as good as I hoped from a (very unexpected) collab between the artists who were at #1 and #2 for me the previous week but still pretty decent! The rest of the top 3 was filled by a couple of the previous week's new entries zooming up in their second week, Don Toliver's 'No Idea' rising 30-2 (matching the peak of his uncredited feature on Travis Scott's 'CAN'T SAY') and Trippie Redd's 'Under Enemy Arms' up 18-3 to become his highest charting song for me (although 'Topanga' would probably have been a #1 if my charts were a thing last year). GoldLink, Maleek Berry and Bibi Bourelly dropped to #4 with 'Zulu Screams' and ROSALÍA rose to #5 in her second week with 'Aute Cuture' to get her fourth top 5 hit out of four songs released this year. Halsey's 'Nightmare' had a smaller drop of one place to #6. zalagasper of Slovenia Eurovision fame picked up highest new entry honours for the second time in four weeks as their first post-Eurovision (and English language) single 'Come To Me' gave them a second top 10 hit at #7, just beating MIRÈLE's 'Yesli By Lyubov'', my BJSC 115 entry which debuted at #8 (would have been higher in earlier weeks if I wasn't hiding it from my chart, but as it is it'll end up the lowest charting of my 2019 BJSC entries so far). Still bitter at it not qualifying xx Skepta and Nafe Smallz' 'Greaze Mode' completed the top 10 falling 7 places to #10, but there was better news lower down for Skepta as he landed two new top 40 hits, going top 30 with his J Hus collab and a belated scrape in for his other lead single that did eventually grow on me.

CamelPhat landed their fifth top 40 hit of the year, entering the top 15 with their new Jake Bugg collab, while there was also a low top 20 new entry for Daphni (an artist also known as Caribou who I knew from a couple of late night Radio 1 faves about a decade ago) with a remake of an old disco song by Paradise, who are credited as a featured act, and one of the two new Bon Iver tracks just missed out on a top 20 debut (the other was also good but won't make my chart). The last few new entries came from Lebanese band Mashrou' Leila with a Joe Goddard-produced track which I missed when it was released a few months ago but has a new and rather hard-hitting music video, The Chemical Brothers also debuting following a music video release and getting their fourth top 40 of the year, Miley Cyrus making a debut after just missing out the previous week and /r/hiphopheads fave Big K.R.I.T. with the first song of his that I've bothered to listen to, a bit of a Kanye-esque track complete with retro soul samples. Maybe the biggest news of the week was 'Con Altura' by ROSALÍA and J Balvin feat. El Guincho becoming the first song of 2019 to have more than 10 weeks in my top 40!!1 (although this was its last week unless it somehow re-enters later oops x)

A brand new top 2 this week as legendary and elusive producer Burial blessed us with one of his occasional comebacks, dropping 2 new songs - the 2-step anthem 'Claustro' goes straight in at #1 while its 8 minute ambient 'B-side' also debuts in the top 30. Straight in at #2 behind it is the #absolutebanger 'Down Bad', a single from a forthcoming compilation album from J. Cole's Dreamville label which packs contributions from J.I.D, Bas, J. Cole himself, EARTHGANG and Young Nudy into under 3 minutes, sadly not yet a first #1 for my former BJSC artist J.I.D but it matches the #2 peak of his previous J. Cole collab 'Off Deez' and is his fourth top 10 hit of the year. Tyler, The Creator's 'EARFQUAKE' slips to #3 after two weeks at the top, while Trippie Redd falls a place to #4 with 'Under Enemy Arms'. CamelPhat and Jake Bugg's 'Be Someone' rises to #5 in its second week to become CamelPhat's highest charting song for me so far (though 'Cola' would probably have charted higher if not #1). My BJSC Pride II entry (and the inevitable winner tbh) 'gec 2 Ü' by the crazy genre-bending 100 gecs debuts at #6. The rest of the top 10 are fallers - Don Toliver's 'No Idea' slipping 2-7, Halsey's 'Nightmare' down two to #8, ROSALÍA's 'Aute Cuture' down four to #9 and GoldLink, Maleek Berry and Bibi Bourelly's 'Zulu Screams' down six to #10.

JPEGMAFIA and Eyas' blink-and-you'll-miss-it top 40 hit from a couple of months ago returns at a more respectable position in the top 15 following the release of a music vide, while AJ Tracey has the first song to have 3 separate runs in my chart this year as he pops in again in the 30s as 'Ladbroke Grove', a former #1 on my chart, is finally a UK top 40 hit. My fave of the DNQs in this BJSC (apart from my own), Tinnmark's Unge Ferrari appears in the top 20 just ahead of a new track by YouTube edgelord-turned-musician Joji and the glitchy delight of the new single by Flume and London Grammar. Little Mix's new single debuts in the top 30, a bit of a guilty pleasure as it's really tacky and lazy but I can't help but love a bounce beat. Katy Perry finally makes the top 40 after bubbling under for a couple of weeks and the new entries are completed by a very well-written and emotional track from Alec Benjamin, the not so well-written and emotional but still pretty fun recent UK top 40 entry by Young T & Bugsey and Aitch and Kishi Bashi scraping in a second top 40 hit from his current album after a couple of previous singles just missed out. This one has some lovely violins on it if the title doesn't give that away. x

Hello Bré!
Nice to see "Be Someone" in the top 5!
I also like the debuts for "Bounce Back" and "Never Really Over", both are really great songs!
Great chart!

Posted by: danG 25th June 2019, 07:35 PM

That Burial song is alright, I've never really got into him aside from the wonderful 'Come Down To Us' though.
Liking the new Flume a lot anyhow and yay for Katy finally impacting here too, best song of hers in ages.

Hi Bré

Lots of songs entering this week, nearly all of which I don't know and most of which sound like I don't want to know

My YouTube says I've heard your #1 already and it does sound a little familiar but I can't for the life of me remember why. It sounds very Burial anyway, but the vocals make it a little nicer as well - actually quite pleasant to listen to.

What on earth is Gec 2 U To be fair it's nowhere near the worst thing I've heard on your chart. (okay I've just got to the bit where it speeds up on the end, that is something )

Some more urban songs in the UK Chart gracing your chart, OT Bop is actually very catchy (ignoring what the song's actually about), I was actually quite partial to 6:30 and Options as well so I should probably mark NSG down as one of the better ones. And Strike A Pose... is better than Ay Caramba at least.

Great chart

You might have been online when I played 'Claustro' on plug.dj (before the BJSC 115 final iirc)? YouTube counts hearing a song on plug as having played it yourself.

Catching up with charts again lel, thanks for the last few comments as ever ~

exciting chart hilites

> The top 2 of new entries from week 25 held their positions with Burial getting a second week at the top with 'Claustro' and the Dreamville gang a second week as runners up with 'Down Bad'. Lil Nas X nabbed highest new entry at #3 with his follow-up single 'Panini' which is serving full Lidl Travis Scott vibes but has proven to be a real earworm for me and I'm actually liking it more than 'Old Town Road'. Tyler, The Creator's 'EARFQUAKE' and Trippie Redd's 'Under Enemy Arms' fell a place each to #4 and #5 in an unusually stable top 5.
> ROSALÍA climbed back up three places to #6 with 'Aute Cuture', just ahead of Ed Sheeran, Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock who finally cracked the top 10 at #7 in their fourth week on the chart with 'Cross Me'. 100 gecs fell a couple to #8 with 'gec 2 Ü' but also gained a second chart entry with the equally iconic 'money machine' entering in the top 20 following its music video release. Joji climbed 10 places to #9 to nab a first top 10 hit with 'Sanctuary' while Weyes Blood's 'Movies' is the higher of two BJSC new entries (this one from Quintessa) at #10.
> Other new entries: Deandria's mind.in.a.box providing the second and final BJSC new entry (I've charted the other 2 songs that were in my top 4 of the contest in previous weeks); Drake and Rick Ross' sorta-but-actually-not-really-at-all basketball anthem; the free Spotify advert anthem from Freya Ridings; Drab Majesty's second top 40 hit following their #1 with 'Ellipsis'; Biffy Clyro's cover of their fellow very Scottish rock band Frightened Rabbit (RIP Scott Hutchinson); a bleepy bloop track from Floating Points; a Portuguese bop hidden in the album tracks of Madonna's 'Madame X' with help from Brazilian superstar Anitta (why wasn't this a single x); TikTok meme and Lil Nas X's natural successor Blanco Brown (2019's 'Cha Cha Slide' / 'Cotton Eye Joe' all in one *.*); a catchy random low Hot 100 hit from terribly named rapper of the week Yella Beezy with Quavo and Gucci Mane; a surprise good (African-flavoured) Rudimental song in 2019 probably mostly down to the other artists on the song The Martinez Brothers and Faith Mussa; the one somewhat good song from Future's new otherwise very underwhelming EP; and Stormzy's follow-up hit which sees him bring back the 'prayer' half of his sound but thankfully in a slightly less overtly preachy way than 'Blinded By Your Grace, Pt. 2'.

exciting chart hilites

> For the first time this year my top 2 remain unchanged for three consecutive charts, still Burial's 'Claustro' at #1 (and looking good for maybe being the first song of the year to get 4 weeks in a row at #1) and J. Cole & friends at #2, 'Down Bad' maybe suffering the same fate as Hot Chip's 'Hungry Child' in having 3 weeks peaking at #2 behind the same song (though in that case it wasn't all in consecutive weeks). The highest newie comes at #3 again for a new collab between Unknown T and AJ Tracey, 'Leave Dat Trap', which sadly still doesn't look like it's going to give Unknown T a UK top 40 hit despite being his catchiest single to date. It is however his first top 10 in my chart (though 'Homerton B' probably would have got there too last year) and gives AJ Tracey a second top 3 hit following the #1 'Ladbroke Grove'. Joji's 'Sanctuary' continues to climb and cracks the top 5 at #4, sandwiched with another new entry at #5 from Radiohead's Thom Yorke with the very bleepy and bloopy 'Not The News' from his new solo album.
> 6 through 9 are all fallers: Trippie Redd's 'Under Enemy Arms' down another place to #6 (with a very satisfying 3-4-5-6 run in the last four weeks), Lil Nas X's 'Panini' down 4 to #7, ROSALÍA's 'Aute Cuture' back down two to #8 and Tyler, The Creator's 'EARFQUAKE' crumbling five places to #9. Freya Ridings provides a third top 10 entry as she rises 11 places to #10 with 'Castles', matching the peak she got at the very start of the year with MJ Cole collab 'Waking Up' (she'd probably have charted higher than that with 'Lost Without You' which remains her best song).
> Other new entries: a slightly old song from SOFI TUKKER and Pabllo Vittar though new to me via the BJSC Pride II spinoff; Hot Chip's third single from their new era which is much better than the previous single and also returns the quality in their music videos with the clip for this one fully fitting their trademark slightly weird and disturbing style; an 80s-y synth-y Art Of Noise-esque instrumental from Blanck Mass (a side project of a member of Fuck Buttons); the return of Joji's 88rising labelmate Rich Brian (with producer Bekon) with a string-heavy and mostly sung rather than rapped track, a big departure from his previous material but surprisingly lovely stuff; Ukrainian quen and Persephonia/Jadakissnia alumnus LUNA with a satisfyingly synthy new track; Mark Ronson and Camila Cabello's collab which has finally clicked with me a bit more after making the UK top 40 #commercialhoe; another Madonna #31 hit which missed out on my chart last week but enters as the song has clicked more following a watch of the harrowing music video; the eponymous debut track of Red Hearse, a new 'supergroup' of 2 people I've never heard of and Jack Antonoff of Bleachers/fun. fame (if you're reading this Pete, you might like this one x); King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's third thrash metal single which is largely the same as the previous two but I can't get enough of this sound from them; Underworld finally charting a second track from their DRIFT series after the last few underwhelmed a bit, this one a collab with the weirdly named Ø [Phase]; the better of the two (both pretty good) songs from Agnes' very low-key comeback; and a bit of chill lo-fi pop from Clairo which I heard on Radio 1 and thought sounded quite lovely.

I'm trying and failing to make these commentaries take less time to type out. Lel.

Random observation: only one of my new entries this week is primarily rapped which seems unusual for my chart. That one is the highest new entry but still. x

exciting chart hilites

> The top 5 is pretty stable again this week - Burial's 'Claustro' holds #1 for a fourth week in a row, the first song to do so since my chart came back this year (and matching ROSALÍA, J Balvin & El Guincho's 'Con Altura' for most weeks at #1 in all this year), and it's a fourth straight week as runner up for the Dreamville crew's 'Down Bad' which now has the most weeks at #2 of any song on my chart this year. How long can they monopolise the top 2? :0 I listened to a bunch of other songs from the Dreamville 'Revenge Of The Dreamers III' album and unfortunately there was nothing else near as good as this one song on there but it does provide one new entry just inside the top 40 in the form of J.I.D, J. Cole and Vince Staples' two-part song 'Rembrandt...Run It Back'. Joji's 'Sanctuary' climbs another place to a new peak of #3, Thom Yorke also rises one place to a new peak of #4 with 'Not The News' and the top 5 is completed by a five place rise for Freya Ridings' 'Castles' which thus now surpasses the peak of 'Waking Up'.
> Unknown T and AJ Tracey slip three places to #6 with 'Leave Dat Trap'. Bon Iver rises to a new peak of #7 with 'Hey, Ma' after previously falling just short of the top 10 3 weeks ago. ROSALÍA holds at #8 with 'Aute Cuture', she released two new songs this week but has a little less impact on my chart than usual with 'Dio$ No$ Libre Del Dinero' entering in the 20s and the other new song missing out. Blanco Brown's 'The Git Up' continues to rise up to #9 and the highest new entry lands in at #10, surprisingly enough it's Ellie Goulding with her first good song for quite a while, Juice WRLD collab 'Hate Me' (which becomes Juice's fourth top 10 hit of the year for me).
> Other new entries: a trio of instrumental dance tracks impacting with Bonobo and Dusky making the top 20 and Gorgon City in the top 30; Ed Sheeran landing two new entries from his forthcoming collaborations album, going top 20 with his commercially overlooked Chris Stapleton/Bruno Mars collab and having a belated entry at #31 for the surprisingly good song with Khalid; Post Malone and Young Thug's collaboration arriving in the top 20; Daughter's contribution to the forthcoming Frightened Rabbit cover album coming in one place higher than Biffy Clyro's track which charted two weeks back; Lizzo's viral hit single finally giving her a second top 40 hit on my chart; Dominic Fike picking up a second top 40 with a new track produced by Kenny Beats; Tyler, The Creator nabbing another top 40 scrape with a feature this time for Jaden (yes, that Jaden); and a belated debut for Of Monsters And Men's new single following its music video release (after it just missed my top 40 when the song was originally released).

10 ** 01 / Ellie Goulding and Juice WRLD - Hate Me / 10- quite good but Sixteen was a lot better, it suits her more
19 ** 01 / Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton and Bruno Mars - BLOW / 19- well this may be Ed's worst song in quite some time oops
20 ** 01 / Post Malone - Goodbyes (feat. Young Thug) / 20- another good effort from Post, Young Thug still sounds bad tho
31 ** 01 / Ed Sheeran - Beautiful People (feat. Khalid) / 31- this is his 2nd best of the era from what I've heard so far after Cross Me
great chart!

Giving Linked a listen, the instrumentation is quite nice but it does feel a *little* repetitive!

New Gorgon City! Giving that a play now, not what I'm used to hearing from them but it sounds like a good summer song!

Great chart

exciting chart hilites

> The last time I posted in here Burial's 'Claustro' was spending its 4th week at #1; it ended up getting a further 2 weeks at the top (solidifying it as the clear longest running #1 of the year) and has now slipped to #10. There have been 3 new #1s in the three weeks since then, with Burial first supplanted by 'MY POWER' from Beyoncé's 'The Lion Ling: The Gift' compilation (in collaboration with Tierra Whack of top 5 hit on my chart 'Unemployed' fame, 2 of the artists from Jadakissnia BJSC entry 'Midnight Starring' and several others) though that has already dipped back below 'Claustro' to #15. Then Rico Nasty got her second #1 of the year with 'Time Flies', becoming the first artist to have 2 #1s on my chart this year; it's down to #2 this week in its third week top 10, which matches the entire top 40 longevity of her previous #1 'Roof' (oops). Probs would have sent this one to BJSC if I hadn't already sent 'Roof', it is a better song xx this week's new #1 comes from BROCKHAMPTON with their comeback single 'I BEEN BORN AGAIN', didn't find this one as instant as most of their singles as it only debuted at #19 last week but it's clicked a lot more since and thus finally gives the best boyband since One Direction their first #1 on a published Bré chart (they'd have had several previous #1s but alas their previous eras were at times where I didn't have a personal chart). BROCKHAMPTON also have a new entry at #7 this week with the follow-up single 'IF YOU PRAY RIGHT' which I found a little more instant.

> Headie One and Skepta's 'Back To Basics', a debut at #12 in the last chart I posted in here, since climbed as high as #2 (becoming both artists' highest peaking song on my charts) and now falls to #3. The highest new entry comes at #4 from Bon Iver with the beautiful 'Naeem' which really should have been one of the proper singles from the album as it's far better than 3 of the 4 actual songs chosen as singles. Bon Iver has a second new entry just inside the top 40 with another album track which is a collaboration with James Blake. Red Hearse's 'Half Love' which peaked at #4 last week falls back to #5 (it's the second chart entry from me for the new supergroup of Jack Antonoff and 2 other irrelevant people). Another new entry at #6 for Flame 2 with 'Dive', this might look like it's something very weird and obscure but it's actually a new collaboration between Burial and The Bug, a rather demented witch house-esque bass-heavy instrumental track. Channel Tres and JPEGMAFIA's Pharrell-esque banger 'Black Moses' rises to #8 after debuting last week at #10, while HAIM's 'Summer Girl' climbs from its debut last week of #18 to #9, a very welcome shift from them to a breezy jazzy sound featuring a lovely saxophone riff.

> Other new entries this week: 2 songs which have been dedicated to the victims of the recent mass shootings in the USA make the top 15, one a trippy psychedelic ambient instrumental from SevenSeize fave Oh Sees and one a haunting ballad from Lana Del Rey which gives her her highest position on my chart this year so far; Chase And Status getting another top 20 hit with their Cocoa Tea collab following its music video release (I should probably listen to the album x); the rising tech house (?) hit from Solardo and Eli Brown also debuting top 20; the string-laden James Blake-esque new song from Active Child in the top 30; TOOL's long-awaited epic comeback single providing the second 10+ minute song in my current top 40 (along with my BJSC entry 'Othan' by Heilung which peaked last week at #3 and now slips to #12 as the contest wears off); a pair of weird but wonderful new songs from Trifoski BJSC artists Battles and Iglooghost with various collaborators; a collab between Kendrick Lamar and his labelmate, R&B singer SiR, from the latter's forthcoming album; and a seedy nightclub house bop from The Juan MacLean just scraping in. There's also a re-entry for former top 3 hit 'Can't Believe The Way We Flow' by James Blake just outside the top 20 following its music video release.

exciting chart hilites

> BROCKHAMPTON manage a second week at the top spot with 'I BEEN BORN AGAIN', but are run close by Bon Iver's 'Naeem' which rises two places to #2 in its second week to become Bon Iver's highest charting song for me, outdoing the #3 peak of 'Hey, Ma'. BROCKHAMPTON meanwhile increase their top 10 presence from two songs to three as follow-up 'IF YOU PRAY RIGHT' rises 4 places to #3 in its second week while third single 'BOY BYE' launches at #7. They're due for an album bomb next week with the release of their new album 'GINGER' so that number of top 10 hits may increase further and they may even become the first act to replace themselves at #1 for me this year

> The rest of the top 10 is made up of female lead artists (probably my first majority female top 10 this year though I'm not going to check that), including four more high new entries. The highest new entry is at #4 from Jenny Hval (aka Rockettothesky from the underrated BJSC track 'Grizzly Man') with her psychedelic experience of a new track 'High Alice', reminds me of Purity Ring mixed with Enigma. Coming in just behind is Zimbabwean-Australian rapper Tkay Maidza with a dark and grimy trap banger/insomnia anthem 'Awake' which provides featured rapper JPEGMAFIA his third top 10 hit of the year (while his own brand new single with a very JPEGMAFIA-esque title and just the right amount of glitchy experimental weirdness also debuts in the top 15). In a wild coincidence there's also a Zambian-Australian female rapper debuting in my top 10 as my BJSC 117 entry 'Final Form' by Sampa The Great (already a #1 for Doctor Blind, the taste) debuts at #9. Rico Nasty's 'Time Flies' slips four places to #6, HAIM's 'Summer Girl' climbs another place to a new peak of #8 and the top 10 is rounded out by another new entry, ROSALÍA claiming her 5th top 10 hit of the year with her tropical reggaeton bop 'Yo X Ti, Tu X Mi', assisted by Ozuna for that sweet sweet YouTube revenue.

> Other new entries this week: Ukrainian Jadaphonia alumnus LUNA getting her third top 15 hit in the space of 8 weeks with another lovely synthy track; a dark, moody and intense new track from Chelsea Wolfe; Headie One's Ultra Naté-sampling new single; a new banger from Tchami which is a couple of weeks old but only just came onto my radar (not even mentioned in the dance forum!); Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign's trashy but catchy bop making a delayed entry after missing out last week; a pop-R&B cut from Indonesian singer NIKI who's the 4th artist from the 88rising label to make my chart this year (following Higher Brothers, Joji and Rich Brian); a heart-wrenching indie folk tune from blogosphere faves Big Thief; a new track from Drain Gang members Thaiboy Digital and Ecco2k; and a new song from Daithí which follows a similar formula to his BJSC song 'Mary Keanes Introduction', mixing interview audio with lovely house production.

Not listened to these Brockhampton songs you've got here (yet) but I quite liked 'No Halo' from plug, wouldn't mind that being a minor chart hit as it looks set to be. I guess that'll be #1 here soon too then or #2 behind another of their tracks.
Enjoying the Headie One track even if mostly down to the Ultra Naté sample. 'Rainforest' is another decent Tchami track too and 'Hot Girl Summer' is the best I've heard from Megan Thee Stallion so far.

Poor Bon Iver missing out on number one here, the Brockhampton domination is gonna get even worse next week isn't it? Oh well. You'll be delighted to know No Halo is looking likely to finish top 75 in the chart!

Liking the new entry for Tkay Maidza and JPEGMAFIA in the top five, hoping that moves up somehow! Same for Tchami, and the new single from Headie One is decent too although it is an unusual use for the sample!

Great to see Othan, XTC, Silhouettes and Down Bad still hanging on in the top 40 too, shame Gauč n Bass couldn't join them.

Nice chart!

Nice to see some BROCKHAMPTON in the top 10!
Also, LUNA is Ukrainan? Interesting, need to check out her stuff.
Great chart Bré!

Would I be that predictable (answer: yes, I would in this case x) I think it was someone on plug who compared 'Both' to Dot Rotten's 'Overload', which I liked as well, these kind of samples should feel sacrilege but they somehow work for me anyway. x



I assume by 'worse' you mean 'greater' Bon Iver probably have missed their chance at #1 though unfortunately, almost wish I had given them a week there as it was close last week but alas stanning wins sometimes xx (also you lied, 'NO HALO' was a mere UK #76 smash, poor hens xx)

Cool that you're liking the Tkay song as well! Afraid it has dropped this week though xx but I think it'll either rebound or stay pretty steady next week ~ Tchami is holding up out of the ones you mentioned though And you know how it is with BJSC songs falling off my chart very rapidly oops (Gleb nearly did hold on for a third week though!)



Yeah, I discovered her a while back from a random YouTube recommendation, she makes good synthpop stuff xx

Thanks for comments :3

I was surprised at that missing the top 75, it was certainly looking likely as it was top 70 on Thursday's update with a fairly safe lead, but in the end it missed out by just 9 sales!

The Tkay Maidza song actually appeared in my own chart as well this week, really good track!

exciting chart hilites

> With the first BROCKHAMPTON album release at a time when I actually have a personal chart going my true stan colours are fully revealed (something similar to this would have happened with their last album too - still not as much of a stan as Dan is for Avicii xx) The new single 'NO HALO', one of my favourite songs from them to date, easily lands a #1 debut making the boyband the first act to replace themselves at #1 on my chart this year and the second after Rico Nasty to get 2 #1s in 2019. They also become the second act this year to hold both of the top 2 in the same week (following James Blake), as 'I BEEN BORN AGAIN' is only down one place to #2, and do more on top of that as they actually lock out the entire top 4 with album track highlight 'ST. PERCY' going straight in at #3 while second single 'IF YOU PRAY RIGHT' falls a place to #4, but overtakes Bon Iver's 'Naeem' in the process after that blocked an all-BROCKHAMPTON top 2 last week (that slips 4 places to #6). A total of 8 of the 12 tracks from 'GINGER' hold a place in my top 40 this week as they also claim the third highest new entry with the powerful 'DEARLY DEPARTED' at #8, giving them a full 50% of the top 10, and they also debut at #17 with the title track and #36 with 'SUGAR' (one that I actually didn't love that much on first listen but it grew on me quite a bit). Third single 'BOY BYE' however doesn't get much of an album release boost as it falls 5 places to #12. The only song in the top 5 by a different artist is Jenny Hval's 'High Alice' which falls one place to #5.

> There's more fresh activity in the lower half of the top 10. JPEGMAFIA may have fallen out of the top 10 with his Tkay Maidza collab but makes up for it by climbing in with his other new entry from last week, 'Jesus Forgive Me, I Am A Thot' which rises to #7, giving him his fourth top 10 hit of the year. The highest non BROCKHAMPTON new entry comes from Declan McKenna's 'British Bombs' in at #9, reminding me of a blend of Sam Fender and George Ezra (taking the best qualities from both x), and Lana Del Rey gets her fourth chart entry of the year with each charting higher than the last, claiming her first top 10 appearance this year with 'Fuck It I Love You' debuting at #10. I plan to listen to her new album soon so there may be more Lana entries next week.

> Other new entries this week: a melt-worthy bit of lowkey R&B (which needs to be added to Spotify xx) from Sabrina Claudio giving her a second chart appearance following her #1 collab with BURNS and A$AP Rocky; Taylor Swift's Ed Sheeran cover album title track which has grown on me a lot this week after its video release and now become my fave of the era, could well climb further next week; Future delivering another flute rap banger with assistance from Meek Mill and Doe Boy (this week's obligatory new rapper with an awful name), charting now following its video release after just missing out a few weeks ago; DaBaby's collab with Offset, aided by another iconic music video, which I nearly charted earlier in the year but revisited this week after it finally charted on the Hot 100; Chase And Status' update of the absolute CLASSIC 'Original Nuttah' by UK Apache and Shy FX (a remix done right); Kosovan DJ Regard's surprisingly good Jay Sean remake / TikTok hit; BANKS belatedly finally charting a song from her new album after I didn't like the first two singles at all (another one just charting now after giving it another chance following a new video release); and finally a classical piano/hip-hop crossover instrumental from Chloe Flower which provides a rare Bré Forté hit originating from the PopJustice Song Contest.

Nice to see a BROCKHAMPTON takeover in your chart!
I also like the debut for "Ride It"!
Great chart!

Posted by: TheJüpreme 3rd September 2019, 09:37 AM

Couple of these rising for me & will chart soon incl. Black Moses & Summer Girl.

Have lifted a few ideas from these too to playlist

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 3rd September 2019, 03:14 PM

Do you like BROCKHAMPTON by any chance?

Giving NO HALO a listen now, it's actually sounding alright! I mean I'd never add it to my playlist but it's a decent song, a good one to be getting some exposure in the UK.
