Joseph's Hit 40

In past years, the first #1 of the year has led to some really odd chart toppers due to a totally dead release week occurring, but this year we've got a pretty standard chart topper, as Christopher achieves his first #1 (quite comfortably) after two top 10 hits at the end of last year. The Danish singer achieved his first chart hit with Take Me Back, a Matoma collaboration, in August last year and the track eventually went to peak at #4 a couple of months later, swiftly followed by #8 hit Heartbeat from the album Closer, which made #1 in my album chart in a very quiet week last year and re-enters this week at #13.

Madeline Juno scored a top 5 hit in 2014 with her song Like Lovers Do, a song I sent to BJSC. After that however, she failed to grace my chart again and was set to be a one-hit wonder, until this week! You Know What? finally becomes her second hit, entering at #12. It may still climb and become her second top 10 hit, and the first from her second album Salvation.

Also this week, Jax Jones finally scores a follow-up to 2014's I Got U (Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones), which got to #22. You Don't Know Me makes it to #18 giving him, and featured artist RAYE, a new personal best. Blossoms also get a new personal best as they make their chart debut with Charlemagne - a late impact but I only bought their album a couple of weeks ago in the HMV sale!

Greyson Chance and Nathan Sykes also enter my chart with their new singles, expect them to make more of an impact in the coming weeks! They're joined by a few re-entries thanks to my Year-End Chart taking place right now. Ed Sheeran also enters with his two new singles but I will talk about them next week when they're set to make a huge climb!
