Posted August 21, 20204 yr 3fCdZzsP4U0 Chart Analysis It's a second #1 for Sufjan Stevens with Video Game climbing to the top spot! Last week's #1 by SG Lewis drops to #5, below new entries by BENEE and Miley Cyrus. I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME's latest track reaches a new peak, and there's a chart debut for Oscar Scheller, plus a return to the top ten for Perfume Genius for the first time since early June. Outside the top ten, there are new entries for The Japanese House, Alicia Keys, First Aid Kit and Kiesza, among others. So far, Sufjan looks safe to hold the top spot next week, with potential competition from new releases by Carly Rae Jepsen or Troye Sivan. 01 Video Game - Sufjan Stevens [29 - 1] 02 Snail - BENEE 03 Midnight Sky - Miley Cyrus 04 Parasols - Abimaro [3 - 4] 05 Impact - SG Lewis ft.

August 23, 20204 yr Hi Ansel! I love the entries this week, particularly Heather and Can't Be Saved, and lots of Kiesza's songs as well!
August 23, 20204 yr Author Hi Ansel! I love the entries this week, particularly Heather and Can't Be Saved, and lots of Kiesza's songs as well! Hi Uhsting! Heather is a great song, hopefully it's gonna be a big hit on the official chart too :wub: and I'm loving Kiesza's new album, Can't Be Saved is a real favourite of mine as well!
August 25, 20204 yr Hi Ansel! Giving your #1 a listen now, certainly more tuneful than some other Sufjan Stevens songs I've heard! Sounding pretty nice. Listened to the new BENEE song as well, not grabbing me instantly but the other two I've heard grew on me as well so maybe this one will. Great chart :D

It's definitely more pop than Sufjan's songs normally are, I'm hoping he's got some more songs like it on his album. That's interesting, for me BENEE's new song is the opposite - it's her most instant (except Supalonely), her last song Night Garden didn't really click for me. Thanks for commenting! :)
