Hey Sergej! :)
I'm glad to hear that about Maia Wright, since she's going to have a massive 2020 here & hopefully commercially too.
I'm also very happy to see 'Body Back' & 'Wait For You' becoming big on everyone's chart as a consequence, since she really deserves it!
Yeah, I never thought Stormzy would ever get an album bomb this big, but with incredible 'Heavy Is The Head' is. it's no wonder he did this well, haha.
I'm actually surprised that 'Future Nostalgia' didn't debut higher over on your new chart, but I'm still pleased to know that you love it like I do!
'Adore You' could climb in the New Year as the Christmas songs fall away, but it debuted more because of 'Fine Line' being released last week.
Thanks for commenting once again!
Hey Piran! It's finally here, with a close battle for #1 and DAMN......... Body Back was so close! I don't mind Wait For You going to #1, but of course my highlight for this chart is obviously the Stormzy takeover! I'm not one for album bombs, but I think that bomb might explode more on my chart - I LOVED the album! Aside from Stormzy, I like the debuts for Future Nostalgia and Adore You, as well as the small gains for All I Want for Christmas is You, Blinding Lights, Lose You To Love Me, and I Could Get Used to This. There's also some cool Christmas songs gaining! Impressive chart once again and Happy Holidays mate! ;)
Hey Coolocelot! :)
Looks like 'Body Back' very narrowly missed out on Christmas #1 in both our charts this year, but yeah, my chart is full of surprises as you know, haha.
Interestingly, 'Wait For You' was only fourth in my predictions with just over half the points of 'Body Back', but the former ends up winning the chart battle. It just shows how much I underestimated the former would grow on me!
That being said, 'Wait For You' will probably just get this week at the top, since it'll be 'Body Back' vs 'P.S. I Hope You're Happy' to be the final #1 of the decade, with the latter taking an early lead.
I don't see any of the Stormzy songs outside of potentially 'Own It' reaching new peaks, but his album tracks will fall a slower than Camila's did from last week!
I could definitely see 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' moving into the Top 5 next week after Christmas Day (the next chart will be revealed on Boxing Day), but despite it remaining the biggest holiday song for me, it won't be doing anywhere as near as well as it did in my 2018 festive charts.
As for the other songs you mentioned, expect most of them to get considerable gains or rebounds by the time January comes around!
Thanks for the comment once again mate.
suprises suprises
l like your this week chart particularly that not so many big droppers but The fact that
The Chainsmokers PS I Hope You Happy steady there like it
as for Camila cabello still own the chart both with Stormzy occupying the chart too as for Harry styles adore you like it for the debut &my favourite gal Dua Lipa she debuted higher than I thought I feel it's gonna grow on people soon
Hey Brandy! :)
Yeah, I guess it was more because the Christmas songs were getting bigger while Stormzy had his album takeover, so it was only really the Camila tracks that fell considerably this week.
You're in luck about The Chainsmokers, since 'P.S. I Hope You're Happy' is probably heading for #1 next week!
I feel like 'Future Nostalgia' could climb into the Top 10 in the new year, but I don't know about 'Adore You' unfortunately.
Thanks for the comment!
Hey Piran! It's fantastic to see Maia Wright get another #1 with 'Wait For You' this week, bagging her both the Christmas #1 and #2 tracks! I do still prefer 'Body Back', but 'Wait For You' is another really great track so I'm definitely happy to see it as your #1! Other than that, it's also incredible to see Stormzy with 2 tracks inside your Top 10 this week, as well as the album bomb for 'Heavy Is The Head' with a total of 9 of its tracks on the chart this week! I thought the album was amazing, so it's great to see it make such an impact on your charts as well, including 'Own It' making a debut at #24 which is easily my favourite part of this entire chart! 'Vossi Bop' re-entering at #18 is great as well. Moving away from Stormzy, it's cool to see 'Blinding Lights' climb a little bit even in the face of big debuts and climbers, and I don't mind the debut for 'Adore You' either. Really great chart again this week! :D
Hey Gameskiller! :)
Yeah, I believe Maia Wright makes history as the first artist the occupy both the Top 2 positions simultaneously on Christmas week! What's even more interesting is that 'Wait For You' was only on just over half the points of 'Body Back' in Sunday's predictions, yet the former ended up dethroning the latter by Thursday.
That said, this might be its only week at #1, since 'P.S. I Hope You're Happy' looks to be the next leader with how much it's growing on me!
'Heavy Is The Head' was indeed an incredible album, so I'm really happy that the two tracks of his that made my Top 10 also appeared in yours.
Of course, that meant that the pre-released singles were going to be making big returns or debuts for me today too, although they might be frontloaded as festive music reaches its peak in the next chart.
Glad you like 'Adore You' too, since I didn't think this would be your style at all!
Thanks again for commenting.
(P.S. Sorry you lost the bet you made on Official Charts' Christmas #1!).
Hi Piran! Awesome chart as per usual, with Maia Wright doubling up at the chart! I had a listen to Body Back a few weeks ago, and really liked it, so I will have to check out your number one. It's nice seeing Stormzy so prominent in your chart, too. Have a nice week!
Hey Ben! :)
Glad you're loving this chart, especially both the new #1 & the song it dethroned, haha.
Stormzy's album was so amazing, despite me having expectations that it would only be decent at best!
I'll check out your new chart shortly.
Thanks for the comment mate!
Hey Zack! :)
Haha, yeah, my charts generally tend to embrace as many genres as possible, so I'm really glad you're liking that.
It's still cool to know that 30% of the songs in my chart also made yours at some point!
Regarding 'Superheroes', I've always loved Stormzy as both a rapper & singer, so the fact that he's combining both here over a smooth tropical beat is really impressive! It also seems that he has a lot of respect for the girl he's talking about, so it actually had nothing to do with the Tracy Beaker reference at all.
Thanks for the comment!
I like seeing Dua Lipa and Harry Styles debut, though I can't really comment on Stormzy's album. Cool to see "Last Christmas" set to re-enter the Top 10 next week. That LadBaby song can go away any time.
Sad to see "Lonely Generation" drop out so quick, but "Love Story" is certainly impressive. Almost close to my longest-running song.
Glad you like both 'Future Nostalgia' & 'Adore You', because I see both potentially hitting new peaks in the New Year when all the Christmas songs drop away! :)
I'd definitely recommend Stormzy's album! You liked 'Vossi Bop' if I remember correctly, so if you're looking for more grime like that, check it out if you have time.
'Lonely Generation' will definitely come back soon, especially since Echosmith are releasing their next album in January 10th!
Yeah, 'Love Story's run is something truly incredible, which I expect will continue at times! You never know, since it is my favourite song ever after all, haha.
Thanks for the comment!
Hey Piran, I hope you're very well despite how busy these last weeks of the year should be. Your last chart of the year and of the decade looks great. How good "Wait For You" sounds, it's a great debut in No. 1. I also just heard "PS I Hope You're Happy" and it has given me a pleasant impression, it will probably be the first No. 1 of 2020. I was surprised to see eight debuts and one re-entry of Stormzy in your Top 40. I'm not a big fan of Stormzy, but "Superheroes" sounds very well and "Own It" is the one I like the most and is about to to enter my Top 40. Pleasant to see "Future Nostalgia" in the Top 20, I think it will give a lot to talk about in the new year. As usual, it's a great chart. Thank you so much for your musical recommendations of 2019, I hope that the new year will be much better for everyone. Again, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous Year 2020. A big hug for you and your readers and followers.
Hey Rockmaker! :)
I'm doing really good thanks! I've started a new job this month, but I'm back home with family for the rest of the week to celebrate Christmas.
I'm really glad that you're loving both this week's #1 & the song that could potentially dethrone it next week!
I'm pleased that you at least enjoyed those two Stormzy tracks that debuted on my chart today.
I'm sure 'Future Nostalgia' could be a future Top 10 hit when all the Christmas classics drop out & Dua Lipa releases her sophomore album, but I'm actually streaming 'Don't Start Now' more at the moment!
Thanks for commenting once again.
I wish you all the best for the year ahead!
Hey Piran!
What a huge surprise seeing a new #1 with a new Maia Wright single, I have to say she's a pretty good singer! And I've just heard this song after seeing it as your #1 this week and wow, it's amazing, maybe it will chart, just like "Body Back", maybe even higher! And of course, added it to my playlist as well!
Really like the Heavy Is The Head takeover in your chart, as well as the debuts for "Future Nostalgia" and "Adore You"!
Great chart as always!
I've posted a link to my recent chart in the group chat, check it out if you have the time!
Talk to you later!
