December 18, 20195 yr Author Mark Ronson - Find U Again Oooh yes, that really should’ve been as big as Nothing Breaks Like a Heart!
December 18, 20195 yr Louise - Stretch (ok her age counts against her but her comeback is much better quality than I ever expected) Cheryl - Let You
December 18, 20195 yr Katy Perry - Never Really Over Vampire Weekend - This Life Clean Bandit & Marina - Baby Taylor Swift - Lover Still at a loss (and think I will be for years!) as to how Katy never managed top 10 with that absolute banger. One of her best and far superior to most pop songs that have managed it this year. I know Vampire Weekend have never had a top 10 so I wouldn't have expected it to, however, this deserved top 40 at least. Its basically Brown Eyed Girl part 2. Clean Bandit is another I don't understand how this failed but somehow I Miss You managed to do it. Aside from the fact Cruel Summer was a song that could not have screamed smash hit any louder than it does, but never was. Lover however I think was a great third single, its a nicer version of Perfect that doesn't make you want to vomit. Thought this would have been a slow burner and eventually have gotten there but I think the timing was off. Had the album dropped in November I think it would have fitted more with the christmas theme and done considerably better.
December 18, 20195 yr If Katy released that 10 years ago she would have been no1 handy enough I think.
December 19, 20195 yr God is a Dancer, Lose Control And Turn Me On all seemed to shoot up the chart in the space of one or two weeks and then completely stall in the top 20 which seemed weird. Thought all were going to go top 10 and all deserved to
December 19, 20195 yr In most cases underperformances are due to Lack of playlist support on Spotify Ie Katy Perry, God is a Dancer But thats not the case of Lose control or Riton, both @1 on HH As with Reputation, Taylors problem was picking the wrong singles, Me is her worst song ever and Calm Down is just ok If she had picked Cruel Summer as lead, The Man as 2nd and Lover as 3rd around Xmas instead She would have had a much better year
December 19, 20195 yr I feel like the peaks of 'Juice' and 'I Could Get Used To This' aren't anywhere near reflective of how well-known they are or the impact they had. It's a real shame 'Never Really Over' couldn't quite push for top 10 in the end. :( But still did great for a Katy Perry single in 2019.
December 19, 20195 yr 'Juice' seems to have attained the same status as Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Run Away With Me', never more than a blink-and-you'll-miss-it hit (especially in the US) but still considered a legendary song among certain Internet circles. Her having 2 other songs that actually did become big hits doesn't hurt.
December 20, 20195 yr Alec Benjamin - Let Me Down Slowly Taken off Hot Hits just as it was finally gaining traction :(

I feel like 'Juice' is actually a widely known song outside of the gays and the internet (which is something I can't really say about RAWM sadly).
December 20, 20195 yr Zara Larsson - All The Time, Charli XCX - Gone and Bebe Rexha - Last Hurrah are three of the best pop songs of the year :(
