This month, it's full-on 2000s nostalgia as two chart veterans who started out in the 2000s, Carly Rae Jepsen and Michelle Branch, battle it out for the top spot, thus proving that 2026 is indeed the new 2006! Meanwhile, last year's Yearly Number One winner Mackenzie Carpenter also has a new entry.

Hi there!

Nice to see "Don't Leave Me On The Dancefloor" at the top and "Bangaranga", "Animal" and "Great Expectation" in your top 10.

Great chart!
Take care.

Hi Tara,

Carly Rae's current era unfortunately did not hit me. I like the songs plaed 8-10 most.

Hey Tara,

Amazing to see don't leave me on the dancefloor at #1. Such a gigantic bop for me honestly.

Great expectation remains great. I do really like it.

🥳

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the comments!

Nice to see the love for Carly, Dara, Sienna and Katseye.
