James' Top 40 - August 12, 2015

Notes:

• Dirty Heads hold on for another week at the top to run "End of the World"'s total to 3 weeks. The song put up another dismal week, and just beat out "A Taste of Silver" for #1 this week. Next week, it could be gone, and "A Taste of Silver" might not be the one to overtake it.
• "First" moves back into the Top 3 this week, going 5-3. This led for 2 weeks earlier this year, and if it keeps doing as well as it has been doing on Alt (and possibly a pop push), this could be on the chart for a long time, and potentially get another chance at #1. "Thunderhearts" sticks at #4 again this week, and it might not be able to climb higher than #3 (its original peak) in its run.
• Tove Lo pushes her fourth Top 10 charter this week with "Timebomb" going 12-10. This one is starting to slow down, but it doesn't look like "Moments" (her supposed next single) will be arriving anytime soon. This could still get a nice peak in the Top 10, but right now, the competition is tough. "My Type", "Pressure", "First", and "A Taste of Silver" aren't looking to give up their longing Top 10 placements in the near future.
• "Feel It" takes a huge climb this week, going 30-14 in its 2nd week on the chart. tobyMac is looking at easily his biggest hit on the chart, and a potential #1. This'll look to climb into the Top 10 next week, and it looks like it has the momentum to do it. "Beyond Me" also rebounds 34-31 this week, and "Til the Day I Die" is at the top of the On the Rise chart, and could debut next week.
• "Nepal" also takes a big climb this week, going 26-18 for a new peak in its 2nd week as well. This looks like another big hit in the making, as this could possibly be a Top 5 hit. It might lose some momentum though as I will have focus on "Yin Yang" as well since that is the US single. But I like "Nepal" a lot more, so it should do better.
• "Shut Up and Dance" drops out of the Top 20 for its first time in its chart run, descending 19-22. At 49 weeks, this should be able to achieve a full year on the chart. This one will also go slowly down the chart from here on out, and won't see recurrency.
• R. City blasts into the Top 30 with "Locked Away" going 33-27 for a new peak. This was moving up pretty slowly before this week's explosion. This should be able to ride up pretty steadily, as it could probably go up a 1-3 positions each week until it looks ready to peak. This doesn't look like it'll have a huge future behind it, but this week definitely moved its projections up.
• Robin Thicke scores his second debut from his new album, as "Back Together" debuts at #32 this week. This had a great week and skipped over On the Rise and went straight to the chart. "Morning Sun" is starting to stall a bit (#11), but that and this should be able to do well. 
• With Compton being released this week, an odd one will be the first one to chart. Jon Connor's "One Shot One Kill" will debut at #34 this week, also skipping On the Rise. This actually could be a decent hit on the chart, maybe a Top 20 showing with room to grow.
• The final debut belongs to The Struts as they debut "Could Have Been Me" this week at #39. This could be a slow riser (similar to "Locked Away"), and potentially get a mid-20s peak with room to grow as well.
