4 1241 Mabel - Don't Call Me Up (23-8-6-3-2-5-4-3-1-1-3-3-8-9-12-16-25-37-44-67-75-xx) [21 wks]

 

after a few years of decent success, Mabel released her breakout pop single Don't Call Me Up, resulting in her biggest hit so far and a #1 single on the Multichart

 

I'd forgotten how long it took Don't Call Me Up to go to #1 here!

 

3 1336 Tones and I - Dance Monkey (57-46-42-17-10-9-7-5-3-2-1-1-1-3-6-7-8-8-5-10-12-...) [21 wks]

 

The notoriously long-running hit was rather long-running here too, but Dance Monkey had "only" 3 weeks at #1 on the Multichart, compared to 11 weeks on the official chart, and 24 weeks in Australia! Still, on the Multichart it had the joint-most top 10 weeks in 2019, with 16, and added two more this year. It would've easily been the EOY #1 had its full chart run been within the calendar year. Instead the #1 is one of the two songs yet to be revealed (well, obviously lol) :o

Dance Monkey this high :frankie:

 

2 1463 Billie Eilish - bad guy (18-6-1-1-2-3-3-4-5-4-4-6-15-16-15-17-17-19-25-24-25-27-63-xx-59-58-xx) [25 wks]

 

duh! 2019's breakout star Billie Eilish completed her rise to chart stardom with 'bad guy', one of the year's defining hits, which also topped the Multichart for two weeks.

 

I'll now pass over to Jordan to reveal the #1, get the barf bags ready... :puke2:

 

 

1 1490 Kygo & Whitney Houston - Higher Love (18-4-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-5-6-8-11-20-23-31-42-xx) [22 wks]

 

I'm not sure what the barf bag is for, Seven? :P No surprises here, surely! We all knew Higher Love was very highly loved on here and it's one of the most recent inductees to the 10 weeks at #1 club. Shame it couldn't quite get there officially! Billie Eilish put up a close fight though, she'll surely have many more chances for that year-end #1. Can Kygo defend his title this year with the help of Tina Turner? Well, probably not, as the competition is even stronger in 2020. Hopefully 6 months from now we'll be counting down all over again!

 

Thanks to everyone who submitted charts last year and thanks for following along and commenting :D

Only just spotted this!!! What a winner, it's so deserved, still such a magical song :wub:

 

Thanks for counting this down guys!!!
