Hello everyone,
After 4 appearances (8 weeks) at #1, Mercer's "Aretha" gives way to the quirky and funky "Romance with a Memory" by The xx's vocalist and bassist Oliver Sim. "Romance" however is being immediately challenged by "In The Stars" by newcomer Benson Boone, which cuts through the Top 5, moving 6-2.
For the second chart in a row, Harry Styles has the Fastest Riser with his glorious "Daydreaming", up 17-9. Other big moves come from songs by Darin, Manila Killa & Lights, We Are Fury featuring brassie and Kyle Reynolds, McEwen, and Javi.
To no one's surprise - at least that's what I think - Beyonce has the Highest Debut with "Break My Soul" at #21. It's Beyonce's first appearance on my chart since her 2009 #1 "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), a gap of more than 13 years! I hope there are other songs on Renaissance that are as good.
Also debuting are: "Ophelia" by Swedish pop trio Louis Pax at #27 - they hit #1 on my chart earlier this year with "Bad Things" for 2 appearances (4 weeks), and it's another slice of 80's inspired pop; "Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee)", a faithful cover of the 1991 Crystal Waters pop and club smash, by Dutch producer Steve Void and singer Sharon Doorson - it's Steve's 5th chart appearance and first since his 2019 #1 "Closure" (with Andy Marsh); and "Confusion Girl Completed" by Frankmusik at #30, which is the first time on this chart in its 24 years that an artist has charted with a redux of one of his own songs (the original was his first entry and peaked at #11).
Don't forget to check out all of the tunes. Enjoy your week ahead! I am off to The Big Apple on Wednesday for five days of vacation.
