14.) Twenty One Pilots - "Stressed Out"

2nd single, Blurryface

Chart Run: 29-9-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-2-2-1-3-4-7-8-9-12-12-13-14... (21 weeks)

 

 

My name's Blurryface and I care what you think...

 

Twenty One Pilots currently hold the record for the longest time spent in the top 2 of this chart at ten weeks, six of which have been in the top spot. This was such an infectious song and the right song to break them into the mainstream.

13.) Justin Bieber - "Company"

4th single, Purpose

Chart Run: 45-29-27-19-13... (5 weeks)

 

 

While "Sorry" is making a steady decline, "Company", the fourth single off of his latest album, continues to skyrocket up the charts. This also received another dance video featuring some members of ReQuest Dance Crew in New Zealand.

12.) DJ Snake f/Bipolar Sunshine - "Middle"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 47-35-33-24-13-8-6-3-4-5-5-8-9-9-12... (15 weeks)

 

 

French producer DJ Snake has been on a roll since producing viral hit "Turn Down For What". His style has more of a tropical vibe to it and with the remix of AlunaGeorge's "You Know You Like It" and his role in Major Lazer's "Lean On", his newfound popularity gave some positive expectations for this song. Of course, this met those expectations.

 

11.) The Chainsmokers f/Daya - "Don't Let Me Down"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 43-34-25-23-18-11... (6 weeks)

 

 

Daya recently made waves with her debut single "Hide Away", and The Chainsmokers are eager to gain their third hit after the viral sensation "#Selfie" and the more tame "Roses". Can they combine their star power and finally reach the top of this chart?

Flashback Of The Week #4:

 

 

10.) Zedd f/Aloe Blacc - "Candyman"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 2-3-4-4-4-7-10... (7 weeks)

 

 

So recently after this song was released, Diplo was a bit disappointed and of course that kinda started some beef with Zedd... Though in his defense, it was kinda commissioned by M&M's. It's also really cute. It was also revealed that Zedd had also recruited Grey, a producer who remixed "Papercut" a while back, for some help. Either way, love still makes the world feel good.

 

9.) Rihanna f/Drake - Work"

Lead single, ANTi

Chart Run: 40-34-31-27-25-25-21-16-10-6-9... (11 weeks)

 

 

"Work" recently tied the record for Rihanna's second longest reign at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, which proves that she can still make a sure-fire hit even with extremely dodgy promotional techniques. It's an easy track to play to get ready for work (work work work work work) and keep you working for the day.

8.) Halsey - "Colors"

3rd single, BADLANDS

Chart Run: 46-34-24-19-18-12-8... (7 weeks)

 

 

C: Next up is my bro Tyler Posey with his role in the music video for Halsey's "Colors". From what I've heard from him, she's really sweet. This is her third single off her debut album, but certainly the single with the best video.

C: Hey, Wit, what are you doing?

 

W: Prepare the Huntsman for war.

 

7.) Mike Posner - "I Took A Pill In Ibiza (SeeB Remix)"

Lead single, At Night, Alone

Chart Run: 49-35-20-16-13-11-8-6-7-8-7... (11 weeks)

 

 

Mike Posner's latest comeback single is bound to be as big as his debut was, nearly 6 years ago! A lot of his next album was produced by him, apart from a song produced by Diplo and this remix, originally produced by him and remixed by upcoming DJ SeeB.

SeeB are actually a Norwegian production duo! ^_^

 

good to see Ibiza and Work hanging around in the top 10, loving those right now!

 

6.) AlunaGeorge f/Popcaan - "I'm In Control"

Lead single, I Remember

Chart Run: 48-39-31-26-17-15-14-10-6... (10 weeks)

 

 

AlunaGeorge just keep outpeaking themselves as "I'm In Control" edges closer to the top 5 at the #6 spot. Pretty sure they had tons of fun in the Dominican Republic shooting this video.

Chart Contender Of The Week #5 PREMIERE: P!nk - "Just Like Fire"

 

 

Alice Through The Looking Glass is the latest installment of the live-action + CGI Alice In Wonderland movies, and P!nk surely brought out the big guns for the soundtrack for this movie.

 

5.) ZAYN - "PILLOWTALK"

Lead single, Mind Of Mine

Chart Run: 17-11-8-5-5-1-2-2-2-3-5... (11 weeks)

 

 

Zayn's latest solo project has done wonders across the world, further gearing up his Justin Timberlake-esque rise to stardom as a solo artist. His first single from the album is very steamy and something no Directioner had ever thought he would do.

4.) Alan Walker - "Faded"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 47-37-31-18-14-9-8-6-6-5-5-5-4... (13 weeks)

 

 

Upcoming Norwegian DJ Alan Walker has begun his quest for American domination as "Faded" has begun to climb to new heights as it has in Europe and soon Australia. Can he continue electrifying the charts or will his star fade before it has even begun?

3.) Ariana Grande - "Dangerous Woman"

Lead single, Dangerous Woman

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

 

 

Ariana Grande recently received her seventh #1 and continued her streak of reaching the top spot with each of her lead singles when "Dangerous Woman" was released. It's even more impressive after hearing that this is her fourth #1 debut, three of them consisting of her lead singles, including this track. Ari is definitely a force to be reckoned with here.

Flashback Of The Week #5:

2.) Meghan Trainor - "NO"

Lead single, Thank You

Chart Run: 14-13-9-8-4-2... (6 weeks)

 

 

At the #2 spot moving up 2 spots is Meghan Trainor's illustrious lead single "NO", off of her sophomore effort, Thank You. This has more of a late 90's/early 2000's feel to it, which kinda draws us in for the nostalgia factor. This outpeaks "Lips Are Movin'" and has become her highest peak yet.

Which means...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.) Fifth Harmony f/Ty Dolla $ign - "Work From Home"

Lead single, 7/27

Chart Run: 1-2-3-3-3-1-1... (7 weeks)

 

 

Fifth Harmony take the top spot in the Cody Christian Birthday Special for a second year in a row! This is the first song by them that debuted at #1, and what a deserving track this is to take #1. This has everything: sexy dancing, Chippendale-like extras, and of course some grueling work (work work work work work work) to add that up. This fiery track takes its third week at #1.
