Flashback Of The Week #4:

 

Sigala and Meghan doing really well :heart:

 

10.) P!nk - "Just Like Fire"

Soundtrack single, Alice Through The Looking Glass

Chart Run: 42-36-32-28-25-23-16-12-11-9-9-10... (12 weeks)

 

 

Alice Through The Looking Glass seems to be very well fit for P!nk, especially with her elaborate creativity and acrobatic skill and anthemic tracks. "Just Like Fire" is no exception to this rule - it's empowering and just quirky enough to work for the movie. Hope you're not late for tea...

 

9.) Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling"

Soundtrack single, Trolls

Chart Run: 11-1-2-3-3-4-4-7-9... (9 weeks)

 

 

Sure this may have peaked a little too early, but it's probably gonna get some crazy longevity, especially if JT puts it on his new album. He created this for his upcoming movie Trolls, but it has evolved into something more than just a soundtrack single. It became a summer anthem that everyone of all ages can enjoy.

 

8.) Rain Man f/Oly - Bring Back The Summer"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 35-14-9-6-6-5-7-5-4-6-5-6-8... (13 weeks)

 

 

Speaking of summer anthems, former Krewella member Rain Man was taken back to when "Alive" was released when talking about this track. Here's what he had to say:

"If we didn’t release "Alive" when we did – because we thought it was too poppy and people wouldn’t respect us – our career would’ve had a very different trajectory.  So when "Bring Back the Summer" was on my plate, I just said, "F--- it, it’s music. Let’s put it out."

It's safe to say that it all worked out for the best as it has charted on European Spotify in several countries. And it's still going strong in this countdown.

 

7.) Twenty One Pilots - "Ride"

3rd single, Blurryface

Chart Run: 50-42-42-37-39-36-35-31-25-16-15-15-11-8-8-9-8-5-7... (21 weeks)

 

 

Twenty One Pilots are only two weeks away from breaking the record for "longest time for a song to peak" on this chart, held by "Burn" which took 23 weeks to reach its peak of #6. "Ride" has already surpassed that, but can it overcome strong competition to reach a spot above?

'Bring Back The Summer' does seem like one of those songs that randomly take off on Spotify in a big way, hopefully there's still time for it to do so as it'll be sounding great in the summer months.

 

yay for King Kungs climbing the chart! :dance:

 

6.) Beyonce - "Sorry"

2nd single, Lemonade

Chart Run: 45-40-32-26-22-16-13-10-6... (6 weeks)

 

 

Next is the song that cause worldwide controversy with its last two lines. It also proves how poisonous the BeyHive can be. Infidelity is wrong. Bullying is wrong. But Beyoncé ain't sorry.

 

5.) Selena Gomez - "Kill Em With Kindness"

4th single, Revival

Chart Run: 43-38-26-20-12-11-2-1-3-5... (10 weeks)

 

 

We just can't go a countdown without a Selena Gomez single smashing it's way into the charts. Well this has already reached #1 anyway but you get the point. Despite it being the least successful of her singles on this era so far, I don't think the success was what she was going for here. It's the message. And we should all love each other especially now, because love powers all.

well it's already doing better than 'Same Old Love' did in the UK so that must count for something :lol:

 

4.) Sia f/Sean Paul - "Cheap Thrills"

2nd single, This Is Acting

Chart Run: 44-43-32-30-26-25-21-19-12-9-7-5-3-4-4... (15 weeks)

 

 

Nearly two years ago, Sia made her biggest hit, "Chandelier", with some powerful production and vocals, and the incredible dancing ability of Maddie Ziegler. This time we still have Maddie, but with an extremely catchy song that has already gotten nearly twice the acclaim.

well it's already doing better than 'Same Old Love' did in the UK so that must count for something :lol:

I was talking about Billboard

 

3.) Era Istrefi - "Bonbon"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 47-47-42-38-31-30-22-20-18-13-14-13-14-8-3... (15 weeks)

 

 

Since this song was featured back in the April countdown, Ultra Music had released an English version of the song sung by Era herself. The song has also spread from Europe to Australia to become a full-fledged international smash. She's come a long way from that cult social media hit just a few months ago.

 

It's between Ariana and Sofia for that #1 spot! Make your predictions, who do you think will get it?

2.) Sofia Carson - "Love Is The Name"

Lead single, TBA

Chart Run: 47-42-32-24-19-16-14-6-1-2... (10 weeks)

 

 

Well just after one week, Sofia slips back down to #2 in this chart with her breakout single "Love Is The Name". She has currently wrapped up production of a new Cinderella Story movie and is currently working on both Descendants 2 and an upcoming album, possibly? Needless to say, this Disney star is shining bright.

 

1.) Ariana Grande - "Into You"

2nd single, Dangerous Woman

Chart Run: 46-47-1-1-1-1-2-2-1... (9 weeks)

 

 

Which means the #1 song for a fifth week is Ariana Grande with "Into You" returning to the top spot after two weeks. The song has been gaining so much positive acclaim and it's pretty clear that this song will continue her domination worldwide.

 

Thank you guys so much for following, this has been a blast, and I'll see you next year. Sprayberry OUT!
