December 21, 20222 yr Author Havana and Higher Love are my faves here so far, both big hits in my chart! shame the later Whitney remixes haven't been that good though (looking at Clean Bandit and then very recently Jax Jones/Sam Feldt for disappointments - I've not heard anything else from the new Whitney remix album yet mind) Thank you Dan! Fully agree later Whitney remixes haven't been great, I'm not sure how interested I am in peeping the Whitney remix album but I do intend to see the biopic :wub:

Harry has a combined total of seventeen #1s to his name, though a lot of them only just fell short. It's the long-running Watermelon Sugar that did enough to make the top 40, though. Debuting at #1 as a promo single, Watermelon Sugar built up a hefty run months before it became a single. With its video release, it re-entered the chart and soared as high as #4 once again, hanging around for the summer months. Of course, Watermelon Sugar was a huge chart hit and I loved seeing it blow up as much as it did, especially in an era where post-album singles struggle. Top 40 Chart History 15/06/2013 | 27 | 04 weeks | Don't Let Me Go | DEMO | 28-32-27-38-x 08/04/2017 | 01 | 24 weeks | Sign of the Times | 1 | 1-1-1-4-3-3-5-12-13-18-20-19-20-23-29-30-31-26-25-31-39-40-x-29-x-28-x 06/05/2017 | 32 | 01 weeks | Sweet Creature | AT | 32-x 15/07/2017 | 05 | 13 weeks | Two Ghosts | 2 | 5-6-9-12-16-20-29-30-33-36-34-28-33-x 11/11/2017 | 16 | 05 weeks | Kiwi | 3 | 34-16-16-19-31-x 19/10/2019 | 01 | 28 weeks | Lights Up | 1 | 1-1-3-2-3-3-7-7-3-3-6-7-10-14-19-21-28-30-27-33-26-26-32-33-36-36-38-x-37-x 23/11/2019 | 01 | 37 weeks | Watermelon Sugar | 4 | 1-2-2-2-4-8-9-12-17-24-24-31-31-30-39-29-29-38-38-x-40-33-4-6-11-15-19-23-26-26-23-17-23-35-34-37-40-x-32-x 14/12/2019 | 01 | 21 weeks | Adore You | 2 | 1-2-3-3-5-8-14-16-22-26-23-31-24-25-31-27-28-24-29-35-38-x 21/12/2019 | 05 | 13 weeks | Treat People With Kindness | 6 | 5-16-14-24-36-x-10-9-12-15-18-25-32-35-x 21/12/2019 | 05 | 20 weeks | Falling | 3 | 8-22-17-25-35-x-16-16-5-9-13-15-18-19-21-24-24-29-29-30-34-x 21/12/2019 | 04 | 19 weeks | Golden | 5 | 9-24-23-34-x-31-30-8-4-8-10-15-19-25-32-33-26-30-33-35-x 21/12/2019 | 10 | 04 weeks | Sunflower, Vol. 6 | AT | 10-26-28-36-x 21/12/2019 | 16 | 02 weeks | Fine Line | PS | 16-x-36-x 21/12/2019 | 19 | 01 weeks | Cherry | AT | 19-x 21/12/2019 | 20 | 01 weeks | To Be So Lonely | AT | 20-x 21/12/2019 | 23 | 01 weeks | Canyon Moon | AT | 23-x 21/12/2019 | 27 | 01 weeks | She | AT | 27-x 09/04/2022 | 01 | 27 weeks | As It Was | 1 | 1-1-4-3-7-5-10-4-16-15-18-8-18-19-21-27-24-26-27-30-30-30-28-29-36-38-37-x 28/05/2022 | 01 | 20 weeks | Late Night Talking | 2 | 1-2-4-5-5-12-16-19-23-18-23-23-28-27-28-25-25-34-35-35-x 28/05/2022 | 02 | 05 weeks | Little Freak | AT | 2-17-18-37-36-x 28/05/2022 | 03 | 05 weeks | Matilda | AT | 3-19-29-x-20-38-x 28/05/2022 | 05 | 03 weeks | Daydreaming | AT | 5-23-32-x 28/05/2022 | 06 | 04 weeks | Love of My Life | AT | 6-27-36-x-27-x 28/05/2022 | 07 | 02 weeks | Satellite | AT | 7-30-x 28/05/2022 | 08 | 02 weeks | Boyfriends | AT | 8-34-x 28/05/2022 | 09 | 04 weeks | Daylight | AT | 9-35-x-12-36-x 28/05/2022 | 10 | 02 weeks | Grapejuice | AT | 10-38-x 28/05/2022 | 11 | 01 weeks | Keep Driving | AT | 11-x 28/05/2022 | 12 | 01 weeks | Cinema | AT | 12-x 28/05/2022 | 05 | 10 weeks | Music for a Sushi Restaurant | 3 | 13-x-33-x-23-6-5-11-19-25-31-36-... 6 x #1 | 14 x Top 5 | 20 x Top 10 | 26 x Top 20 | 30 x Top 40 Social Media Harry Styles

Rita Ora had slayed the charts with anthems Your Song and Lonely Together, but I don't think anybody expected her to unleash anything quite this incredible. Anywhere sounded HUGE from the first time I heard it and there was no doubt that it'd be a #1 single, which it was indeed in its first full week of charting, but its run of 6 consecutive weeks, which it still shares the record for, was unprecedented. Its chart success was amazing to see, too. It totally deserves its status as Rita's biggest hit! If only it could've squeezed a week at #1 officially. Top 40 Chart History 21/04/2012 | 12 | 04 weeks | R.I.P. (feat.

December 21, 20222 yr Author 30 | 744 points Joel Adams Please Don't Go  Non-album single Released: 6th November 2015 Label: Will Walker Records Chart Run NE (26/12/2015) | 28-21-7-4-3-3-3-7-7-11-16-22-29-34-33-34-36-40-1-1-5-8-11-15-17-22-24-28-29-28-33-36-40-x EOY | 3rd, 2016 Video S2oxFIsENgM Commentary I think this song was a recommendation to me from our very own Oricon back in late 2015! It was a minor hit in my chart initially but it quickly blossomed into a top 10 hit regardless, and I sent it to BJSC in early 2016 where it narrowly missed out on qualifying. Justice for the song arrived later in the year when the song became a chart hit around the world, peaking at #50 in the UK. Payola at its finest for sure, and his label never invested in another single so it wasn't for another two years until Joel was able to actually release a follow-up (promo single Die for You was only ever released as a free download if I remember correctly), but I did love seeing a BJSC entry of mine on the cusp of taking off (sure enough, in the ACR era, it would've been a top 40 hit!). Nevertheless, Please Don't Go saw a resurgence in my chart when I saw Joel perform his first (and to date, only) London gig and I met him afterwards! It vaulted all the way up from #40 to #1, naturally becoming the largest climb to #1 in my chart's history. Since then, Joel's had a hit-and-miss run in my chart, but he charted as recently as a couple of weeks ago with his latest track! Top 40 Chart History 26/12/2015 | 01 | 33 weeks | Please Don't Go | NAS | 28-21-7-4-3-3-3-7-7-11-16-22-29-34-33-34-36-40-1-1-5-8-11-15-17-22-24-28-29-28-33-36-40-x 14/01/2017 | 02 | 06 weeks | Die For You | PS | 21-2-4-11-22-31-x 13/10/2018 | 06 | 07 weeks | Fake Friends | NAS | 16-10-6-10-17-25-37-x 09/03/2019 | 14 | 02 weeks | A Big World | 1 | 14-32-x 07/09/2019 | 08 | 04 weeks | Kingdom | NAS | 8-15-27-33-x 19/10/2019 | 03 | 04 weeks | Slipping Off the Edge | 3 | 3-7-20-31-x 14/11/2020 | 34 | 02 weeks | Sick World | NAS | 39-34-x 05/06/2021 | 21 | 01 weeks | Goodbye | NAS | 21-x 10/12/2022 | 36 | 01 weeks | Just a Man | NAS | 36-x 1 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 5 x Top 10 | 6 x Top 20 | 9 x Top 40 Social Media Joel Adams

December 22, 20222 yr Author 29 | 763 points Why Don't We Hooked  1st single from 8 Letters Released: 7th June 2018 Label: Signature Entertainment Chart Run NE (09/06/2018) | 1-1-1-1-2-3-7-12-20-17-17-18-19-10-10-11-14-22-26-24-19-14-22-28-30-37-39-40-x RE (26/10/2019) | 19-31-x EOY | 1st, 2018 Video -vuDnPVXFbY Commentary The second biggest boyband song in my chart's history is from American group Why Don't We, with the first song to appear that topped my EOY. This is definitely an indicator that this countdown is filled more with songs from the first half of the time period than the second, with 2017 and 2019's EOY #1s not featuring at all (and no songs at all from 2022...!!). Nevertheless, Hooked was the first new single to be released after I truly discovered the group and fell in love with their music. Trust Fund Baby was the breakout hit and I saw them live a couple of weeks before Hooked came out, so my hype for this track was sky high. I remember hearing Hooked the morning it came out and instantly loving it. Jack kills the chorus and the song is packed full of hooks (no pun intended), so it's no surprise that it debuted at #1 and spent three weeks there, still the biggest of their record-breaking haul of 15 #1s. Top 40 Chart History 09/09/2017 | 10 | 08 weeks | These Girls | NAS | 40-x-10-11-19-21-35-x-24-32-x 10/02/2018 | 01 | 24 weeks | Trust Fund Baby | NAS | 8-15-14-6-1-1-3-3-5-7-14-14-17-20-25-26-8-14-17-25-32-34-39-x-28-x 10/03/2018 | 13 | 03 weeks | Boomerang | AT | 13-23-39-x 02/06/2018 | 31 | 01 weeks | Something Different | 1 | 31-x 02/06/2018 | 36 | 01 weeks | All My Love | AT | 36-x 09/06/2018 | 01 | 30 weeks | Hooked | 1 | 1-1-1-1-2-3-7-12-20-17-17-18-19-10-10-11-14-22-26-24-19-14-22-28-30-37-39-40-x-19-31-x 14/07/2018 | 01 | 20 weeks | Talk | 2 | 1-3-4-10-12-12-14-18-13-12-16-20-25-29-34-30-21-28-34-40-x 11/08/2018 | 01 | 20 weeks | 8 Letters | 3 | 15-1-2-2-3-2-2-5-7-13-16-14-11-16-20-25-34-35-38-x-32-x 08/09/2018 | 31 | 01 weeks | Hard | AT | 31-x 08/09/2018 | 40 | 01 weeks | Friends | AT | 40-x 22/09/2018 | 39 | 01 weeks | Choose | AT | 39-x 22/12/2018 | 34 | 02 weeks | Kiss You This Christmas | AT | 40-34-x 19/01/2019 | 01 | 08 weeks | Big Plans | 1 | 9-1-2-3-12-17-25-38-x 16/02/2019 | 01 | 09 weeks | Cold In LA | 2 | 16-1-3-6-11-15-20-26-34-x 23/03/2019 | 04 | 08 weeks | I Don't Belong In This Club (Why Don't We & Macklemore) | 3 | 13-4-6-13-18-26-29-39-x 27/04/2019 | 10 | 04 weeks | Don't Change | 4/OST | 10-15-23-33-x 25/05/2019 | 01 | 10 weeks | Unbelievable | 5 | 1-1-6-9-12-15-19-22-26-37-x 06/07/2019 | 01 | 11 weeks | Come to Brazil | 6 | 1-3-4-6-10-17-24-30-35-39-x-33-x 03/08/2019 | 01 | 12 weeks | I Still Do | 7 | 1-1-3-7-13-15-20-29-36-38-x-23-32-x 31/08/2019 | 01 | 13 weeks | What Am I | 8 | 1-2-5-6-9-12-19-31-5-16-23-31-33-x 02/11/2019 | 02 | 07 weeks | Mad At You | 9 | 2-5-10-14-25-29-34-x 07/12/2019 | 04 | 04 weeks | With You This Christmas | 10 | 4-9-15-12-x 04/01/2020 | 01 | 08 weeks | Chills | 11 | 1-2-5-13-18-25-33-34-x 03/10/2020 | 01 | 10 weeks | Fallin' (Adrenaline) | 1 | 1-2-6-9-14-16-22-27-37-x-38-x 12/12/2020 | 02 | 11 weeks | Lotus Inn | 2 | 2-5-7-5-9-16-16-19-20-28-36-x 26/12/2020 | 03 | 08 weeks | Slow Down | 3 | 5-3-7-12-15-18-24-35-x 23/01/2021 | 25 | 04 weeks | Grey | AT | 25-34-26-36-x 23/01/2021 | 23 | 04 weeks | Look At Me | AT | 28-32-23-30-x 23/01/2021 | 30 | 02 weeks | Love Song | AT | 30-38-x 09/10/2021 | 01 | 19 weeks | Love Back | NAS | 6-1-2-2-5-7-12-17-20-22-21-31-24-24-25-22-23-27-31-x 20/11/2021 | 10 | 06 weeks | Mistletoe | PS | 10-19-21-31-33-34-x 15/01/2022 | 01 | 11 weeks | Don't Wake Me Up (Jonas Blue & Why Don't We) | FEAT | 1-1-4-3-8-16-19-22-23-28-34-x 16/04/2022 | 02 | 09 weeks | Let Me Down Easy (Lie) | NAS | 31-2-5-12-14-20-30-33-38-x 21/05/2022 | 01 | 09 weeks | Just Friends | NAS | 1-14-6-6-14-17-24-27-34-x 04/06/2022 | 02 | 07 weeks | How Do You Love Somebody | NAS | 5-2-4-11-20-25-35-x 15 x #1 | 22 x Top 5 | 25 x Top 10 | 26 x Top 20 | 35 x Top 40 Social Media Why Don't We

I remember loving it immediately, it has such a big chorus and is so much fun. It debuted at #1 in my chart, quite impressive for a group that had only previously charted on Pitbull's Wild Wild Love (I underrated that so much, not sure why it didn't make my top 10!). Ugly Heart was a two-week chart-topper and dipped in and out of the top 10 a couple of times, though of course its release was tinged with sadness as group member Simone Battle committed suicide around the time it was finally released in the UK. Its #11 peak was frustrating but felt insignificant in the shadow of that. G.R.L. have reformed and split over the years, including releasing a tribute single to Simone as the follow-up to Ugly Heart, but other than that, I've not really cared as much for their later material. Top 40 Chart History 29/02/2014 | 14 | 09 weeks | Wild Wild Love (Pitbull feat.

I didn't know what to expect musically, but as an actor from one of my favourite shows, I was keen to check it out. sideswipe gripped me from first play, with its strong production, moody vibe and very catchy chorus. It debuted at #1 in my chart and stayed for two weeks, returning for two further stints, the first of which when Froy was confirmed as a guest for WereWolfCon, a Teen Wolf convention I was attending that year, and the second for when WereWolfCon happened that October. I met Froy and had the most insane experience, he was so kind. Froy released three further singles in 2019, two of which made #1, though none are available on Spotify any longer unfortunately. Froy has turned back to acting, and he is currently one of the stars of hit show Cruel Summer. Top 40 Chart History 04/08/2018 | 01 | 26 weeks | sideswipe | NAS | 1-1-2-4-5-7-1-3-8-9-1-1-3-6-10-15-18-19-21-24-26-30-25-32-36-40-x 30/03/2019 | 01 | 22 weeks | Fix Me | NAS | 1-2-3-4-5-9-11-19-24-23-29-32-35-37-40-27-33-39-38-x-32-x-36-39-x 04/05/2019 | 02 | 10 weeks | Crash | NAS | 2-3-7-15-15-23-26-33-35-39-x 08/06/2019 | 01 | 12 weeks | When It's Midnight | NAS | 1-2-4-8-13-11-18-22-20-26-31-40-x 3 x #1 | 4 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 4 x Top 20 | 4 x Top 40 Social Media froy
December 22, 20222 yr I didn't really listened to 'Another Love' when it was first released but really got into it a year or two afterwards. However, with it's recent resurge in popularity, I'm starting to go off it a bit again due to overplay :lol:Â Havana is definitely my favourite so far though :heart: I loved Fifth Harmony and Camila was always my favourite but I was so underwhelmed by 'Crying in the Club' and was so happy we got something so massive in Havana. It really feels like a song that no-one else would have put out at the time.

It's delicate and subtle, yet it builds into something big by the end, with Olly Alexander's voice at the centre of it all. It struck a chord and made my top 10 as an album track, hanging around my chart for weeks until its single push arrived, sending it back into the top 10 and eventually to the top spot, becoming their second #1 after Shine. Eyes Shut is by far the biggest Years & Years hit and nothing since has come even close to how big this song plus its parent album were for me. Top 40 Chart History 25/10/2014 | 30 | 02 weeks | Sunlight (The Magician feat.

The Italian popstar, whose full name is the latter, has recently rebranded his music to a shorter, more succinct stage name as he continues to try to crack the Latin market (though, unfortunately, I've found his latest couple of songs a bit boring, a stark comedown from the run of #1s he was on!). Nevertheless, Matteo notched up quite a run of hits, including seven #1s, though his biggest hit pointswise wasn't actually one of them. This Christmas was a single he put out in 2017 and I discovered it too late for it to have much impact, but it returned the following year and, with two #1s under Matteo's belt by then, had a much stronger run, ultimately being blocked from the top by his own Mrs Lonely. It's returned each year since, except 2022 so far but there's still time for that! This Christmas loses out on the only tiebreak in the countdown, decided by the song's peak - song #24 peaked at #1. Top 40 Chart History 30/12/2017 | 03 | 08 weeks | Just One Lie | NAS | 3-3-7-15-30-40-x-28-30-x 30/12/2017 | 02 | 29 weeks | This Christmas | NAS | 35-x-18-8-15-14-6-3-2-2-x-17-16-15-22-9-7-12-4-x-17-27-26-26-15-17-15-10-x-14-15-15-13-x 08/09/2018 | 01 | 15 weeks | El Ritmo (AHI AHI AHI) | 1 | 1-3-6-11-16-22-31-39-38-33-31-x-24-25-35-x-22-x 03/11/2018 | 01 | 22 weeks | In the Middle | 2 | 1-1-1-1-3-5-6-5-7-7-8-14-18-25-27-29-35-34-39-x-17-x-26-32-x 15/12/2018 | 01 | 10 weeks | Shallow | 3 | 1-3-6-6-10-16-21-32-33-x-34-x 29/12/2018 | 01 | 09 weeks | Mrs Lonely | 4 | 1-1-3-6-12-22-24-37-x-36-x 05/01/2019 | 26 | 02 weeks | Sunshower | NAS | 32-26-x 05/01/2019 | 29 | 02 weeks | E' diventata primavera | NAS | 34-29-x 05/01/2019 | 35 | 01 weeks | The Ischgl Feeling (Ischgl Hymne) | NAS | 35-x 05/01/2019 | 36 | 01 weeks | Miracle | NAS | 36-x 13/04/2019 | 01 | 09 weeks | Besos Besos | 5 | 1-3-6-11-13-11-22-29-37-x 18/05/2019 | 03 | 04 weeks | Sayonara Arigatò | AT | 3-11-13-24-x 18/05/2019 | 21 | 01 weeks | SLO-MO | AT | 21-x 18/05/2019 | 37 | 01 weeks | A Promise | AT | 37-x 27/06/2020 | 01 | 09 weeks | Háblale Claro | NAS | 1-2-2-5-11-18-31-30-36-x 23/10/2021 | 01 | 10 weeks | Muero Por Ti | NAS | 1-3-9-11-18-21-26-35-35-x-38-x 7 x #1 | 10 x Top 5 | 10 x Top 10 | 10 x Top 20 | 16 x Top 40 Social Media Teo Bok

It charted as an album track upon release, reaching the top 20 as one of a series of album tracks that charted following the album's release. Its single push followed later, but even then, it still took a while to climb to the top, reaching #1 on its 21st week in my top 40! It was Hunter's fourth #1 out of a total of five, though his chart history became increasingly patchy after the Storyline era. Nevertheless, Tattoo remains a huge anthem, its big chorus making it the perfect crossover pop/country track. It was the first single from Hunter's UK-focused album which mostly contained poppier remixes of his tracks, though it's the original country version that impacted my chart for the entire run. Top 40 Chart History 04/01/2014 | 01 | 06 weeks | More Than I Should | AT | 1-2-8-12-19-27-x 04/01/2014 | 19 | 02 weeks | Everybody's Got Somebody But Me (feat.
