34.) Axwell Λ Ingrosso f/Kid Ink - "I Love You"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 46-43-36-34-... (4 weeks)

 

 

The team-up of Axwell & Sebastian Ingrosso hasn't made it any higher than scraping the top 20 since the beginnings of this chart, but this collaboration with Kid Ink is looking to change that. Will the minimal airplay in the US help its chances?

Chart Contender Of The Week #2: Little Mix f/Machine Gun Kelly - "No More Sad Songs"

 

 

I wonder what MGK is thinking about all this mainstream success after spending years of refining a more indie rap image... The latest from Little Mix is a remix of No More Sad Songs featuring this guy.

 

33.) Hey Violet - "Guys My Age"

Lead Single, From The Outside

Chart Run: 50-32-14-2-1-1-1-2-2-4-3-5-8-6-9-10-14-16-20-24-26-28-31-33... (24 weeks)

 

 

Guys my age don't know how to treat me,

Don't know how to please me

Don't know how to read me

Guys my age don't know how to touch me,

Don't know how to love me good...

 

32.) Lady Gaga - "Million Reasons"

2nd Single, Joanne

Chart Run: 4439-36-32-33-32-27-24-23-21-19-16-8-6-6-8-12-15-19-24-29... (22 weeks)

 

 

I think we can all agree that Joanne was pretty much... how do I say it bluntly... dead on arrival, but it was all worth it for this beautiful song and the performances that came with it.

31.) Ansel Elgort - "Thief"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 45-41-33-31-... (4 weeks)

 

 

From Caleb Prior to hanging out with The Chainsmokers... what a transformation. Ansel Elgort's Weeknd-esque possible breakout comes in at #31 this week.

30.) Drake - "Passionfruit"

2nd Single, More Life

Chart Run: 45-37-30-... (3 weeks)

 

Probably the only time there will be a song announcement without a video, damn it Drake, what's your deal with YouTube streaming?

 

29.) Bebe Rexha - I Got You"

Lead Single, All Your Fault Part 1

Chart Run: 49-36-29-17-14-10-7-3-1-1-1-2-4-4-8-13-16-20-25-29... (20 weeks)

 

 

The 101st #1 comes in at #29, making the top of the chart with such a track when she hasn't gotten one before. Her highest peak before this was with "Hey Mama".

28.) Play-N-Skillz f/Frankie J, Becky G & Kap G - "Si Una Vez (If I Once)"

Soundtrack Single, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands

Chart Run: 39-28-... (2 weeks)

 

 

This generation's Yellow Ranger comes in at #28, with the greatest gainer this year. The quartet have created a Spanglish cover of the Selena Quintanilla classic Si Una Vez as part of a tribute to the 20th anniversary of her death.

27.) Julie Bergan - "Blackout"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 50-42-34-28-27-...(5 weeks)

 

 

You know that feel when you've had a hard week and all you want to do is hit the bar with your homies? Norway's Julie Bergan knows that feel, and while Billboard Dance strongly recommends partying responsibly, Bergan's latest single pays tribute to those hard-up moments when a good “Blackout” is on the menu.

 

Although I think we can all agree that the reason why this got so big was the future bass elements...

 

26.) Kato & Sigala f/Hailee Steinfeld - "Show You Love"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 44-39-30-26-...(4 weeks)

 

 

And that's yet another Hailee Steinfeld song to track after breakout hit "Love Myself" and her huge #1 smash "Starving". She's become a powerhouse in the featuring aspect - she's got another song on the way. Meanwhile we've got Sigala who's been killing it with almost every song on the chart.

Chart Contender Of The Week #3: New Politics - "One Of Us"

 

 

The reached the top 3 two years ago with "West End Kids" and had a couple minor charters both prior and after - will this more pop sound swing the charts in their favor again?

 

25.) Martin Jensen - "Solo Dance"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 46-45-41-39-33-27-25-...(7 weeks)

 

 

Scandinavian DJ's are probably the cream of the crop in the EDM community (especially those with Spotify), and Martin Jensen is no exception - his tropical house hits are delivering an edge to the chart at the moment.

 

24.) HALEM - Unstoppable"

3rd Single - HALEM EP

Chart Run: 50-38-28-24-22-20-20-16-19-24...(10 weeks)

 

 

From tropical pop to electro-pop but with the same sound no less, we turn to British duo HALEM for the third BJSC entry to feature this week.

 

23.) The Weeknd - "Party Monster"

3rd Single, Starboy

Chart Run: 48-47-36-30-24-23-...(6 weeks)

 

 

I'm like, got up, thank the Lord for the day,

Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name,

Woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name,

Woke up, woke up by a girl, I don't even know her name...

22.) Kriss Kross Amsterdam f/Conor Maynard & Ty Dolla $ign - "Are You Sure?"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 10-2-1-1-3-5-7-5-8-9-11-14-15-19-21-22...(16 weeks)

 

 

We now turn to one of the many contenders for the top song of 2017, this one coming from Kriss Kross Amsterdam, Conor Maynard & Ty Dolla $ign. A bit more Spotify friendly than most of the latter two's songs (other than Work From Home), but it's surely paying off here.

21.) Machine Gun Kelly f/Hailee Steinfeld - "At My Best"

2nd Single, Bloom

Chart Run: 42-23-21-...(3 weeks)

 

 

And here's the second Hailee song that is looking to be her third top 10, or possibly her second #1, especially considering it came off of a 19 spot jump last week.

Flashback Of The Week #3:

 

 

20.) The Chainsmokers - "Paris"

Lead Single, Memories... Do Not Open

Chart Run: 18-5-2-2-1-2-5-7-10-12-14-18-20...(13 weeks)

 

 

The Chainsmokers recently released their debut album and weirdly enough, their songs don't seem to have much of that EDM flavor. It's not affecting their chart runs though, as they got their first #1 here with this song.

 

19.) Jax Jones f/Raye - "You Don't Know Me"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 48-47-42-38-40-38-32-29-22-19-...(10 weeks)

 

 

Next up on the countdown is a surprise hit from Jax Jones (who previously made waves helping out Duke Dumont) with featured artist Raye. This is already slated to do better than By Your Side here.
