Cash Cash - "Surrender"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 44-34-20-17... (04 weeks)

 

 

Y'know, for four weeks, its chart run is rather impressive. The trio landed themselves their third charter last month, and it only took them three weeks for this to out peak "Take Me Home". That just proves that the US is mishandling them unlike what they're doing in other countries.

Ellie Goulding - "Love Me Like You Do"

Soundtrack single, Fifty Shades Of Grey

Chart Run: 48-31-23-14-3-1-3-8-10-13-14-15-16... (04 weeks)

 

 

This was obviously shaping up to become Ellie's biggest hit yet. It obviously was in the UK. Will she transcend her previous record in the US? Who knows. Keep in mind she did this with a soundtrack song. Now, Fifty Shades was a GIANT movie. One other song from the soundtrack will appear later. Ellie... KILLED IT with this song.

Nick Jonas - "Chains"

2nd single, Nick Jonas

Chart Run: 46-44-34-27-19-17-15... (07 weeks)

 

 

I'M IN LOVE WITH HIS ALBUM. I had always thought that his team was going to return to this single when he first released "Jealous", and because that became a huge hit they decided to release this. My theory still holds true. This song is pretty hard-hitting and kinda reminds me of a Bastille song.

Hi Cody, don't have time to comment properly this week (hence why my chart is only up in my archive and I will do that for a few more weeks too) but let me just say it's lovely seeing your commentary and the reasons you love songs, I agree with a lot of itl It's also nice seeeing actual chart runs for you, make that permanent thing pls, they're glorious!

14 11 07

Sia f/The Weeknd & Diplo - "Elastic Heart"

2nd single, 1000 Forms Of Fear

Chart Run: 50-45-41-41-40-38-xx-(RE)27-24-16-17-16-16-14-10-10-11-14... (17 weeks)

 

 

First off, it had a little bit of extra chart run room due to it charting as a cherry-pick from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, despite some duds like the extremel boring "Atlas" and the utterly typical "We Remain". Second off, PRAISE MADDIE. If this video wasn't released with such controversy, it probably wouldn't have been on my chart right now. Hey, same peak at the UK!

Next up is another contender from the urban-ish side:

 

Chart Contender:

Fetty Wap - "Trap Queen"

 

 

Urban has become so IN with me these days! This made an impressive journey from guilty pleasure to new addition to one of my most played go-to tracks that have not made my chart yet. Must say, with the quality hip-hop people have been producing, the genre may just get a bit of the respect they deserve.

 

13 16 05

Ryn Weaver - "OctaHate"

Lead single, The Fool

Chart Run: 41-29-22-16-13... (05 weeks)

 

 

Just like "Shut Up And Dance", I was a bit resistant to checking this song out, with my main concern being that it wasn't going to be on iTunes. At least it did now. Anyway, she's about to release The Fool later on this year, but hey, a little bit of pre-summer promo never hurt nobody. It was so different from all the other songs released this ear: it was more avant-grade.

12 13 08

The Weeknd - "Earned It"

Soundtrack single, Fifty Shades Of Grey

Chart Run: 45-30-28-24-24-16-13-12... (08 weeks)

 

 

The second of the soundtrack songs from Fifty Shades Of Grey as well as the second Weeknd song comes on at #12. It's the sultry R&B/soul type of songs that become his identity, and I think that's what made this song pop out so much. Right now, the song is aiming for #1 in US pop airplay, so we'll see if it gets there.

Tove Lo - "Talking Body"

3rd single, Queen Of The Clouds

Chart Run: 15-3-3-2-2-3-2-5-6-8-9-9-11... (13 weeks)

 

 

I have been saying this since the album was released: this is the best song she's ever put her name into. It's upbeat, it's fun, and more importantly, it's HOT. I fell in love with this when I first listened to the album, and I had been waiting anxiously for it to become a single. Y'all can tell just from that chart run what happened when it finally did. This picking up on US radio should give this song some serious longevity.

Flashback #3:

10 8 12

Taylor Swift - "Style"

3rd single, 1989

Chart Run: 38-18-8-4-4-6-7-5-5-6-8-10... (12 weeks)

 

 

Just about anything from that album is perfection, but this was one of the true standouts of 1989. It kinda sounded like a country version of a mix between "Jealous" and "Do What U Want" in the production, and tbh this is one of the most country songs on the album - being that it sounds like it could come out of her last three albums. Taylor looks beautiful in the video, the effects are trippy, and the aesthetics are spot-on.

Natalie La Rose f/Jeremih - "Somebody"

Lead single, TBA

Chart Run: 49-40-37-28-27-22-21-19-15-10-9... (11 weeks)

 

 

Natalie ha Rose. *.* I am probably one of the only people on this forum who didn't discover this song through BJSC but through other means - US radio. That phrase has been coming up a lot lately - shall we play a drinking game? I kid. But this song is a party-starter. Now it's gotten so big, even people saying her name is ikonek in a sense! Jason DeRulo teas :o Also, Jeremih, I somewhat forgive you for "Don't Tell Em".

Flo Rida f/Sage The Gemini & Lookas - "GDFR"

Lead single, My House EP

Chart Run: 47-40-38-35-30-23-12-8-7-8... (10 weeks)

 

 

This is probably the best Flo Rida has done in AGES and it's SEVERELY underrated here in BuzzJack. I don't understand. Anyway, I first heard this song back in August, and this didn't get a pop push until January. So that took a long time to grow on me. I think it was on my reserve playlist for a few months before I actually began to chart it (and subsequently whore it out). But yeah, a bunch of people here need to re-listen to this, because I don't get the hate.

Ariana Grande - "One Last Time"

5th single, My Everything

Chart Run: 29-10-8-4-4-4-4-5-7... (9 weeks)

 

 

Liam will probably be happy at this doing so well. However, releasing near the same time as Conor, Carly and Zedd really hurt the song's performance, as flawless as the song actually is. :cry: The video was pretty simplistic and gave me The Fray teas, especially with the meteor scene. I still think this will be a pretty big song, though.

Taylor Swift - "New Romantics"

Promo single/Bonus track, 1989

Chart Run: 39-26-20-13-22-6... (9 weeks)

 

Audio Here:

http://www.vidostream.com/music/listenone/.../New-Romantics/

 

This will probably be the first EVER :jameela: song that does not have a valid YouTube or VEVO link that has peaked this high (unless I decide to go back to the other promo singles lol). This song is fun and high-spirited, just like my high school career. You can tell that Taylor is a brilliant lyricist with this.

 

5 2 6

Conor Maynard - "Talking About"

2nd single, TBA

Chart Run: 1-3-2-1-2-5... (6 weeks)

 

 

*insert something about stanning for him and "YAAAAAS CONOR YOU LOOK SO GOOD" :wub: :wub: :cheer: :cheer:* As you can tell, Conor has had an amazing track record in my chart, with him logging in two more weeks at the #1 spot for him with this song, let alone his first #1 debut. As much as I want his song to go to #1, I hope it does well to prove the naysayers that Conor is back and can still make a splash on the charts.

Contender #3:

Wiz Khalifa f/Charlie Puth - "See You Again"

 

 

The last of the three contenders for next week is probably one of the most emotional songs of the entire year. Paul Walker's death left a hole in the Fast & Furious saga, and the most recent film was dedicated to his work in the franchise. This is one of the songs from said soundtrack.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c8/Carly_Rae_Jepsen_-_I_Really_Like_You.png

 

4 4 06

Carly Rae Jepsen - "I Really Like You"

Lead single, E•MO•TION

Chart Run: 2-2-1-3-4-4... (06 weeks)

 

 

Up next is a former #1 - the 50th #1 of the chart, "I Really Like You". It's a fun and light track for Carly and I'm so relieved that she's returned to the spotlight. This seems poised to become a huge UK #1, so to you guys, I say, "Lucky!"

 

3 6 06

Deorro f/Chris Brown - "Five More Hours"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 29-7-6-5-6-3... (06 weeks)

 

 

The highest of the songs that lasted exactly 6 weeks on the chart is here: I first heard this version after looking up Deorro following his random cameo on Teen Wolf. This guy is crazy talented. I first heard this song as the vocal version with DyCy. Now it's being reworked for the pop audience, and this is the one track that has somehow worked as a rework.

 

So... Zedd vs. Fifth Harmony! Who will take the top?

Zedd f/Selena Gomez - "I Want You To Know"

Lead Single, True Colors

Chart Run: 1-3-1-3-2-3-2... (07 weeks)

 

 

Everyone knows I love Zedd. We share the same birthday. He's my spirit animal. And all I want for him is to be happy. And I'm hearing that he and Selena split?! PLEASE TELL ME IT ISN'T TRUE.
