My Top 50 - 09/01/2019

Lover invades the chart, "Truth Hurts" moves up to #2.

"Lover" by Taylor Swift gets a second week at #1. Her ninth chart leader so far also serves as the title track from her new album, which invades the chart this week with multiple entries.

First off, "Cruel Summer" jumps 14-3 on it's second week, while previous single "You Need To Calm Down" recovers two spots to #8 on it's 11th week, after reaching #3. "Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince" is this week's Greatest Gainer by jumping 41-12, while "The Man" is this week's top debut at #16. #18 goes to "Cornelia Street", while "I Think He Knows" opens at #23, "ME!", the set's first single and #1 hit drops to #40 on it's 19th week, while #44 and #45 go to "Soon You'll Get Better" (giving The Dixie Chicks their first entry) and "I Forgot that You Existed".

Two tracks from her previous album, reputation also appear this week: "Getaway Car"  re-enters at #37, after reaching #9 last year, while "So It Goes..." appears on the chart for the first time at #42.

Just behind "Lover" we find Lizzo with "Truth Hurts", which gets a new #2 peak and looks like a strong contender for the top spot as early as next week. The track leads Lizzo's three entries, as "Good as Hell" jumps to #14 on it's third week and "Juice" moves up to #30.

Billie Eilish finds herself outside top three for the first time in 20 weeks with "bad guy", as the track drops to #4, after 12 weeks at #1 and 8 more at #2. It holds off "All for Us", which has to settle for a third week at #5 for Labrinth and Zendaya.

Just behind, "Beautiful People" by Ed Sheeran and Khalid continues it's rise, moving up one spot to #6. Katy Perry follows at #7 with her six-week champion "Never Really Over", while next single "Small Talk" continues moving in the wrong direction, this week steady at #29 but with a #26 peak to date.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello follow at #9 with their #3 peaking "Señorita"; the tracks drops despite having a bullet, which means it could go up again in the next few weeks. Another #3 hit, Zara Larsson's "All the Time" follows at #10 this week.

Normani earns her first solo top 15 entry, as "Motivation" rises to #15 on it's third week. Legendary singer Whitney Houston's "Higher Love" in remixed form by Kygo takes her to #20, becoming her first track to reach the region.
