34.) Louisa f/2 Chainz - “Yes”

Non-album single

Chart Run: 50-40-34-... (3 weeks)

 

 

Previous X Factor winner Louisa Johnson delivers a Name-change fueled trip back to 2002 with this track that’s supposed to give off a more sensual vibe. Did she make Xtina proud?

 

33.) Dua Lipa - "IDGAF”

8th single, Dua Lipa

Chart Run: 48-43-35-33-... (4 weeks)

 

 

Dua Lipa is currently at that point in this album era where she can say this about the US peak even though it would be pretty underwhelming following the megasmash that was New Rules. One Kiss is still to follow, can she finally get a #1 here?

 

32.) Kim Petras - "Heart To Break”

6th single, TBA

Chart Run: 45-36-33-32-... (4 weeks)

 

 

Who knows what's the deal with her upcoming album?

 

What we do know is: her aesthetic is on point, and just what I expected from an upcoming pop star. Now I kinda expected her to just be another all-American girl in the wings to become a pop diva but I didn't even know she was German! It seems like this and IDGAF have similar chart runs.

 

31.) Bazzi - "Mine”

Lead single, Cosmic

Chart Run: 48-37-31--... (3 weeks)

 

 

Well I don't understand why anyone would give anything that derived from musical.ly the time of day (I mean just look at Jacob Sartorius!) but this seems to be the one good thing that came out of this app. Good on Bazzi for making musical.ly tolerable to the general public. At 2:13, this is the shortest song to chart since Cups.

Flashback Of The Week #2: the #1 song of 2014

 

 

 

30.) M.O f/Lotto Boyz & Mr. Eazi - "Bad Vibe"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 47-37-31-30-... (4 weeks)

 

 

This is the highest any of these artists have come. Impressive for M.O considering this is their second song to chart ever. The UK urban sound works sometimes.

 

29.) Selena Gomez X Marshmello - "Wolves"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 1-1-1-1-3-2-2-4-3-5-7-8-10-10-11-12-12-14-16-19-21-23-25-29-... (25 weeks)

 

 

Pretty much on track to becoming one of the biggest songs on the chart, even though it hasn't stayed that long on there. Only Selena. You'll see Marshmello two more times in the upcoming lineup.

 

28.)One Bit f/Noah Cyrus - "My Way"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 43-36-32-30-27-26-28-... (7 weeks)

 

 

Despite there being a weird choice for a sample, this solidifies Noah as another versatile artist who can become a staple in the dance community. She has the right attitude and style for it, so why not?

 

 

27.) Cash Cash f/Nikki Vianna - "Jewel"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 47-42-33-31-31-27-27-... (7 weeks)

 

 

We seem to be having a lot of songs with similar chart runs lately. Cash Cash continue their long and arduous run through the world of future bass with this one not sounding much like them and more like The Chainsmokers than the last two singles. All My Love went to #1, can this follow suit?

 

26.) Meghan Trainor - "No Excuses"

Lead single, TBA

Chart Run: 45-37-35-35-30-26-... (6 weeks)

 

 

Well this is refreshing. This is by far one of Meghan's most modern-sounding song to date, and all this coming from a lead single of a new era! While she's past the heyday of All About That Bass, she continues to deliver some fresh tunes and I'm glad she's back.

Chart Contender Of The Week #3: George Ezra - "Paradise"

 

 

With what is said to be his best song yet. A fun, light and summery song, he proves everyone wrong that he doesn't do just sappy MOR songs. And THANK GOD for that. We don't need another "Blame It On Me".

 

 

25.) Jax Jones f/Ina Wroldsen - "Breathe"

3rd single, TBA

Chart Run: 36-21-12-6-3-1-3-4-4-5-5-7-7-9-12-14-18-22-25-... (19 weeks)

 

 

Jax really loves food items. The Tic Tacs are just another item in the cart, but it definitely is the most popular out of them.

 

24.) Breathe Carolina & Dropgun f/Kaleena Zanders - "Rhythm Is A Dancer"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 39-35-32-29-21-17-14-9-5-4-5-6-10-15-24-... (15 weeks)

 

 

Let it be known that Breathe Carolina had not made such an infectious song like this since they transitioned to full on dance. Spinnin' Records outdoing itself again!

 

 

23.) Logic & Marshmello - "Everyday"

3rd single, Bobby Tarantino II

Chart Run: 39-34-28-23-... (4 weeks)

 

 

A bit of a motivational anthem, making use of Marshmello's newfound prowess for making urban sounding music. Logic pulls this off really well, it's almost as if he's channeling The Lonely Island's "Like A Boss".

interupting your chart (:

 

We seem to be having a lot of songs with similar chart runs lately. Cash Cash continue their long and arduous run through the world of future bass with this one not sounding much like them and more like The Chainsmokers than the last two singles. All My Love went to #1, can this follow suit?

 

Have you heard Cash Cash's new single? It's still sort of future bass but more of a Cash Cash sound than Jewel was (and I sitll loved Jewel :lol:). The vocalist is someone I've never heard of but gives me Sia vibes too

 

Logic & Marshmelloe! :wub:

 

22.) Kendrick Lamar & SZA - "All The Stars"

Lead Soundtrack single, Black Panther: The Album

Chart Run: 45-37-32-24-22-... (5 weeks)

 

 

The Black Panther movie has become a global phenomenon. So has Kendrick Lamar. So it would make sense that both of those combined would be a pretty deadly combination. One more Black Panther song appears.

21.) Bruno Mars & Cardi B - "Finesse (Remix)"

4th single, 24k Magic

Chart Run: 5-2-3-3-4-4-6-6-7-11-12-14-17-21-... (14 weeks)

 

 

Dropping out of the top 20 already seems a little excessive for a song as big as this but getting trampled by all those huge debuts really took a toll on its position. Nonetheless it's another stellar performance from Cardi B and one that will surely stick with everyone.

 

We're drippin' in finesse and getting paid, eeeeooooowwwww.

Flashback Of The Week #3: the #1 song of 2015

 

 

And it topped the first ever countdown special too!

 

20.) Nocturnal Tapes - "Is It Too Late"

Lead single, Visions IV EP

Chart Run: 50-41-30-23-20-... (5 weeks)

 

 

Just another BJSC entry on its way into the top 20 and beyond. It's a refreshing entry from an artist from the land down under... so why isn't it getting as much recognition?

 

19.) Logan Henderson - "Bite My Tongue"

Non-album single

Chart Run: 43-29-23-20-20-19-... (6 weeks)

 

 

Just adding to the throwbacks is Logan Henderson, who you may know from a band called Big Time Rush. If you were a kid in the early 2010's and you don't know Big Time Rush then... I'm scared for you. This is the only one of the boys' solo singles that has charted.
