The biggest plot twist of the century happens as amidst the storms of KMFDM album cuts, J. Cole's and JID's album cuts, Ninajirachi's continued success, the returning ABBA songs, a flood of revived recurrents, a growing appreciation for Lost in Starlight, a boost for a Chinese song following Lunar New Year, and massive gains all across the board... it's a surprise new debut that snatches my #1. From a fellow server member at that.

Oh, and may I add, nosotros odiamos el hielo! Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone else though <3

*I forgot to correct the peaks last time, so the values I marked are the corrected values for affected songs now.

Next Week: My Queen Olivia Rodrigo turns 23 amidst a surprisingly awesome NMF, as KMFDM and J. Cole continue dominating the conversation, the opening themes of Kimi No Todoke and Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity (two anime I've binged this past month) crash into the charts, Taylor Swift and some others return, and Freya Skye reaches a new high.

Hey Oliver! :)

Glad to see 'Medicine' at #1, along with the debuts for 'Petty', 'It's You', 'DTMF', 'Foreign Language', 'Golden Boy', 'Superscar' & 'Enemy' (KMFDM).

Good chart!

Wow - that is a hige Bad Bunny invasion this week.

I love how there are two Enemy songs and you had to clarify which one of them you support 😜 😂 🤣

Anyways it's already a given Freya Skye is gonna be a lot stronger for me next week but every song has a fair shot of staying strong provided they get past Olivia's birthday storm.

Thank you for the comment ☺️

Yep, to hell with ice

NINE songs is no joke 👀 that's how big of a deal this is

Thank you for the comment ☺️

Hey Oliver!

Aperture falling fast is a crime 🤣 ooooh I love it so much!

Honestly, just chalk that up to a major artist bomb. NINE SONGS from Bad Bunny are here so whether or not Harry continued being strong it was always gonna fall either way 😭 it'll be back up in the charts in no time, alongside come clean and the great divide

Btw, I'm curious how you find the new Hillary Duff album 👀

Edited February 24Feb 24 by Violet Stallion

Hi there!

Nice to see "Look What You've Done" in the top 3, "Stateside" reaching the top 10, the big gains for "Two Six", "Nuevayol" and "Midnight Sun", the return for "Super Trouper" and the debuts for "Be Her", "DtMF", "Enemy", "Surround Sound", "Un Dia" and "I Like It".

Great chart!

Take care.

Glad you love all those songs, even if Olivia is gonna wash most of them away 😭

Thanks 👍🏼

I like it. It's not my favourite but there are a couple crackers on there. All the singles are good. Weather For Tennis i was a bit eh in to stay with but it's grown on me quite a bit. We don't talk is great as well.

Overall it's a very cohesive album for sure.
