Hey Oliver! :)

Glad to see 'Drop Dead' at #1, as well as the debut for 'Step Back'.

I also like album impacts for Holly Humberstone & Ella Langley!

Good chart yet again.

Take care!

Hi Oliver!

Nice to see Holly, Ella, Madonna and Prince do well in your Chart and I like the debuts for "KGB" and "Mr. Know It All". And of course, no surprise that "Drop Dead" is at the top, but I do like the song and I'm happy that we have the same #1 this week.

Great Chart!

Take care.

Hi Oliver,

I think Olivia will do very well in the multicharts soon - for me it is rather a slow grower, because I needed some time to get familiar with it. It will definitely climb some places in my next chart. Cool to have "Die Happy" in your charts as this was one of my favourite songs of last year and a great opener for the recent Holly era.

Hey,

overall, quality top 5 though the top spot I would give to Ella 🫣.

can highlight this one - Cannibalism by Slayyyter - reminds of Sofi Tukker vibes🤟

... honestly can't blame you. Be Her is contending for my favorite hit this year. I'm honestly thinking of giving it the #1 next week. Anyways yeah this has got to be one of my favorite top 5s this year, but I wanna recommend bus stop in particular, genuinely bright yet melancholic song and one of my favorite songs of the entire year. It's written by a cebuana if I'm not mistaken (cebuana is a term for a girl from Philippine province Cebu)

Cannibalism is my favorite song from the entire album btw

Yeah that's fine. Olivia may need some time to get used to for some people. I do prefer To Love Somebody but Doe Happy is genuinely one of the best pop songs of the year as well

Oh yeah same #1s, NICE! Anyways Mr Know it All kinda debuted at the last minute but KGB is expected to be in the top 10 next week.

Thanks for all your comments and see you next week 😁

Step Back is gonna get even higher because of Coachella even though it didn't get performed there. Drop Dead might be slightly derailed by Be Her next week but she'll most likely get two weeks at #1, whether or not Ella dethrones her.

Thank you for commenting ☺️
