James' Top 20 - July 17, 2014

Notes:

• For an 11th consecutive week, Tove Lo rules the chart again with "Habits". "Habits" has been picking up plays decently and has a firm grasp on the top spot for now. Though, the number 2 & 3 spots are making gains to take over.
• "Love Runs Out" by: OneRepublic holds at #2 for a 2nd week. This might not get the "Rude" treatment since it's likely to hit #1 sooner or later, but for now, it's going to have to deal with it. If it hits #1, it might not be there very long...
• "Headphones" by: Matt Nathanson (feat. LOLO) rockets 11-3 this week in its 2nd week on the chart. I've been a little obsessed with the song (not "Habits" level), and this could be a major contender for Song of the Year. #1 is looking likely for the song, and could be on top for awhile.
• Aaaaaaand the fall. "Rude" by: MAGIC! falls 3-6 this week. The song is starting to burn on me since now it's everywhere. The song will probably deflate for a little while, but it should stay on the chart for a little more time. By the way, congrats to MAGIC! on the #1 on the Hot 100 (though you couldn't nail #1 on mine ).
• "Options" by: Luke James (feat. Rick Ross) pushes 9-7 to gain a new peak. It'll look to enter the Top 5 next week.
• KONGOS lifts 10-8 with "Come With Me Now" to get a new peak. This will also look to enter the Top 5.
• Andrew Ripp falls 6-10 with "Falling for the Beat" this week. A few weeks ago it was looking to go into the Top 5, but now it's starting to fall after coming up short. The song likely won't see huge drops, but it might not last much longer than this. It will be pretty hard for it to best its #6 peak.
• "Pressure" by: Youngblood Hawke falls out of the Top 10 this week for the first time in its run going 7-11. This will likely stay in the "Riptide Region" for awhile, and it likely won't see a deep fall. The song also hit the 100 play mark this week. 
• Speaking of the "Riptide Region", "Riptide" by: Vance Joy lifts itself back up to #12 from #15 this week. The song has been slowly gaining the past few weeks (despite the drop last week due to debuts and other stuff), and will look to finally get back into the Top 10 after a long time out.
• "3005" by: Childish Gambino lifts 16-13 this week to gain a new peak. The song will look to enter the Top 10 next week and will look beyond that in the near future.
• MKTO's "Classic" looks like it might be seeing its final days as it falls 12-15 this week. It just missed the Top 10 and will likely find its way off the chart in a couple weeks.
• "Resonance" by: LuvBug (feat. Talay Riley) re-enters the chart at its #16 peak after 3 weeks off the chart. The song will look for a healthier run its second time around.
• Nico & Vinz also falls this week with "Am I Wrong" falling 14-17. This is also likely seeing its final weeks and it might be gone next week.
• "Wiggle" by: Jason Derulo (feat. Snoop Dogg) does not re-enter like I thought it could at the beginning of the week with "Resonance" beating it out. Now it looks like it has officially died.
