Zack's 2019 charts

[zaclord 🌈]

Well, now that I'm slowly venturing outside the Country forum more and more, (and bboat11 's tag in his personal chart to let me know this sub-forum was a thing) I am starting to post my personal charts! I actually have 4 different personal charts that I make each week (Country, Christian, Pop, and Hot 100), but I'll be posting my Country Top 50 and Pop Top 50 since I doubt many would be interested in my Christian music chart But I'll be posting my charts for the week of Jan. 30th momentarily! I'll also be updating this original post with some past chart statistics for those interested!

Chart Database: Dates back to 2004 when I started making charts! Anything dated prior to 2004 is an "honorary peak" for my favorite songs that were out prior to when I started making charts. Updated as of 01/01/17

2017 Peaks: Database of songs that peaked in 2018 and have not been added to the Chart Database yet.

[zaclord 🌈]

This week on Zaclord's Country Top 50, Little Big Town continue to reign for a second week at the top spot with their monster hit, "Better Man". Brad Paisley's and Love and Theft's newest singles throw in the towel after a top 10 placement, which allows Dierks Bentley to enter in the top 10 with "Black". It's a slow week this week with only Mo Pitney and "Everywhere" going recurrent after peaking at #30 two weeks ago. This allows a single top 50 debut this week and Walker McGuire and their debut single "Til Tomorrow" take that spot and jump in at #49 this week. Biggest movers this week are Carly Pearce (+5), Rascal Flatts (+3), and Lady Antebellum (+3), but look for some more movement next week with at least 3 likely recurrents from the top 20.




This week in the Pop Top 50, The Chainsmokers and Phoebe Ryan hold on at #1 for a second week with "All We Know" despite losing their bullet. Last week The Chainsmokers celebrated three consecutive #1 hits following "Don't Let Me Down" and "Closer" in 2016, however "Setting Fires" featuring XYLØ won't be continuing that streak as it peaks at #6 and falls to #16 in its 8th week. Shawn Mendes also peaked last week as he falls to #6 and loses his bullet this week with "Mercy". ROZES, Nick Fradiani, and Jimmy Eat World all jump into the top 10 this week with their current singles and Bebe Rexha scores her first solo top 20 hit with "I Got You". For debuts this week, we have the La La Land soundtrack featuring Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone that occupies two of the slots with the Oscar-nominated "City of Stars" and "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" at #46 and #49 respectively. Julia Michaels enters at #47 with her debut single "Issues", Idina Menzel charts for the first time since "Let It Go" hit the top spot in 2014 with the cover of "Wind Beneath My Wings" from the Beaches remake, and Kings of Leon enter with "Reverend" - their follow-up to their #1 hit "Waste a Moment". Songs leaving the top 50 are "Fresh Eyes" by Andy Grammer (peak: 1), "Somebody Else" by The 1975 (peak: 10), "Like the World is Going to End" by Ben Rector (peak: 3), "Just Hold On" by Steve Aoki & Louis Tomlinson (peak: 42), and "Still Breathing" by Green Day (peak: 42). Biggest movers this week are "Everyday" by Ariana Grande and Future (+6) and "Let's Hurt Tonight" by OneRepublic (+7).

Updated the original post with a Chart Database to explore where songs peaked in the past as well as the songs that have peaked and fallen off my chart in 2017 already :) Plus a list I'll update on #1 hits throughout the year.

I love that your charts don't include the mainstream norm. The amount of album tracks charting here is so nice to see. ("Keeper Of The Flame" and "Three Kids No Husband" in particular, yay!)

Thanks! Radio moves too slowly for my taste most times so I'll move on to the next single (that I select) more quickly most times. I'll also "add" some of my favorite album tracks even long after the album is done (e.g. "After the Storm Blows Through") or that I can't wait for it to maybe get released because I love it too much (e.g. "This Plane Don't Go There"). And my Pop chart looks nothing like CHR because I like so much Alternative and HAC songs

[.indulgecountry]

Love your chart! Glad to see you start posting it for all to see!

Love that LBT is holding down the top spot and seeing that RaeLynn was there a few weeks ago. Nice mix of singles and great album tracks too as codyj100 pointed out.

Week of February 6th, 2017

Little Big Town continues to dominate the Country Chart and spends a third week at #1 after Brothers Osborne and Lee Ann Womack threw in the towel and settled for a #2 peak. Old Dominion files into the top 10 with "Wrong Turns" and Jason Aldean scores his 3rd consecutive top 10 hit, which has not happened since "Don't You Wanna Stay", "Dirt Road Anthem", and "Tattoos on This Town" all hit the top 2 in 2011/2012; he also now has two songs in the top 10 at the same time! Brett Young blasts into the top 20 to score his second hit. Lady Antebellum, David Nail, Lauren Alaina, and Carly Pearce all make big moves in the lower half of the chart and Sam Hunt, Zac Brown Band, and Walker Hayes all make debuts this week. Greatest Gainer this week is Carly Pearce (+7). Don't expect a lot of movement or debuts next week since it looks like we may not have any recurrents unless Brothers Osborne and Lee Ann Womack fall fast enough or someone slips off the bottom of the chart.



Falling Off:
Brad Paisley - Today (Peak: 3, Weeks: 17)
Love and Theft - Candyland (Peak: 10, Weeks: 15)
RaeLynn - Love Triangle (Peak: 1[1], Weeks: 28)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With an extremely soft top 10 on the Pop Chart, James Arthur sneaks into the top spot even though he barely keeps his bullet. John Legend peaks at #2 after falling just short of the top spot last week and does not get to match the peak of "All of Me" from 2014. Ed Sheeran continues to rapidly gain ground to the #1 spot with "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill" jumps into the top 20 in its 6th week. Sia now has 3 songs in the top 40 as "Unstoppable" moves 41-39 and "Move Your Body" and "Satisfied" from the Hamilton Mixtape continue to climb as well. Sheppard gets their first top 30 hit since "Geronimo" hit the top 10 in 2015 and Clean Bandit continues to leap up, but can they hit the top 3 like they did with "Real Love" and their #1 hit "Rather Be" without Jess Glynn? Imagine Dragons close in on the top 20 with "Levitate" while also debuting at #45 with their lead single "Believer" from their upcoming album while Marian Hill and Maggie Rogers also make debuts. Greatest Gainer goes to "Shape of You" and Ed Sheeran (+1) as he makes up a lot of ground towards the top but only rises one spot.



Falling Off:
Fetty Wap - Like a Star (feat. Nicki Minaj) (Peak: 45, Weeks: 2)
The Chainsmokers - Setting Fires (feat. XYLØ) (Peak: 6, Weeks: 8)
Shawn Mendes - Mercy (Peak: 3, Weeks: 18)

"Better Man" absolutely killing it! I'd love it if it could score that many weeks at the top on the real charts these next few weeks.

[bboat11]

Agreed, "Better Man" is more than welcome to just keep on slaying! Just as long as they don't block Maddie & Tae from getting there in a few weeks ;) I also love to see Maren on the verge of the top 10 with "Once"!

[zaclord 🌈]

Yeah, "Better Man" is one of my favorites in a long time, so it deserves 3+ weeks on my chart (and hopefully the real chart too)!

"After the Storm" is my 2nd fave on Maddie & Tae's album only behind their debut single. I'm hoping that one can get there too - it'll definitely get pretty close at least!

I'm hoping "Once" can match the peaks of "My Church" "80s Mercedes" and "Rich" and get to the top spot!

[timjhar]

Welcome additions! I'd love to see your Christian chart as well.

Sorry that I'm so behind this week. Work was hella crazy and I didn't have much down time throughout the week

Week of February 13th, 2017

A bit of a slow week with Country this week as we've got no recurrents, just Phil Vassar falling off the bottom of the chart which made room for Casey Donahew to debut. Little Big Town keeps strong at the top for a 4th week, but Jason Aldean is comin' in hot moving 4-2 this week. Very little movement this week, which makes Sam Hunt's 12-spot jump even more impressive. Zac Brown Band also jumps 8 spots for the second biggest jump of the week.



Introducing, the Christian chart! Most of you probably don't listen to much Christian music (it's a very niche market), but there is some good stuff in there. Those of you who like Pop or Alternative music may like some artists that appear here. Britt Nicole had a crossover hit in "Gold" a few years back so y'all should check out more of her stuff! Unspoken jumps into the #1 spot this week which makes for a 6th consecutive #1 hit for the group and the second from their new album. Debuts from Kutless, Hollyn, and Lecrae with their new singles.



Ed Sheeran finally catches up and makes the big jump from 4-1 to land at the top spot. This makes for his 4th #1 single on my Pop chart and the first uptempo of his to make it there (Lego House, Thinking Out Loud, and Tenerife Sea were the ballads). Expect him to stay here for another week or two. A few songs decide to throw in the towel this week like Goo Goo Dolls and Blink-182 (am I talking about the early 2000's or 2017?) and Alex Da Kid. A Perry Big Debut: Debuts from Katy Perry and The Band Perry this week and some back and forth movement at the bottom of the chart as some soon-to-be smashes jump several spots.



Oops forgot to tag everyone. PS tagging all my new friends but we can still be bffs if you don't want to be tagged. I won't be offended

Week of February 20th, 2017

Little Big Town grabs a 5th week at the top of the chart this week! The last song to score 5 weeks at the top was Kacey Musgraves with "Dime Store Cowgirl" back in September/October of 2015. Maren Morris jumps into the top 10 after her Grammy performance of "Once" and Cody Johnson scores his first top 10 hit! Sam Hunt continues to make big gains as he leaps into the top 30 in week 3. The very missed, Josh Gracin, makes a return to the chart for the first time since "Drink It Gone" peaked at #45, a peak which Josh will likely surpass next week with his new single "Nothin Like Us". Thomas Rhett and Danielle Bradbery also make a debut this week with their duet "Playing With Fire". Recurrents this week are Brothers Osborne and Lee Ann Womack with "Loving You Back" (Peak: 2, Weeks On: 27) and Jon Pardi with "Dirt on My Boots" (Peak: 2, Weeks On: 27).

Unspoken gets a second week at #1 with their hit "Miracle", which makes it the group's second biggest single just after their smash "Start a Fire" back in 2014. Jordan Feliz fails to match the peak of his first 3 singles (#1) and falls just short with a #2 peak for "Beloved". Hillsong Worship continues to make big gains with "What a Beautiful Name", as do Lecrae and Ty Dolla $ign with "Blessings" in its second week on the chart. Joshua Micah and Tauren Wells make debuts on the chart for the first time with their current singles. Recurrents this week are Britt Nicole with "Be the Change" (Peak: 1[1], Weeks On: 22) and Sidewalk Prophets with "If You Only Knew" (Peak: 1[1], Weeks On: 26).

Ed Sheeran spends a second week at #1 as he distances himself from the rest of the pack. With several recurrents this week, there are lots of big gains. Adele scores her 6th top 10 hit from 25; can she bring "Remedy" to the top spot like "Hello", "Send My Love", "Water Under the Bridge", "When We Were Young", "I Miss You" and "All I Ask"? Captain Cuts and Nateur both score their first top 10 hit with "Love Like We Used To". Legends John Mayer and Britney Spears finally make the top 20 with their most recent singles. Maroon 5 featuring Future, Zara Larsson featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Ben Rector, Judah & the Lion, COIN, Starley, and Ansel Elgort all make debuts with their new songs and Kings of Leon re-enter with "Reverend" thanks to the recurrents: James Arthur with "Say You Won't Let Go" (Peak: 1[1], Weeks On: 18), Blink-182 with "She's out of Her Mind" (Peak: 5, Weeks On: 14), John Legend with "Love Me Now" (Peak: 2, Weeks On: 18), Goo Goo Dolls with "Over and Over" (Peak: 12, Weeks On: 19), Alex da Kid with "Not Easy" (Peak: 20, Weeks On: 14), Emma Stone with "Audition (The Fools Who Dream)" (Peak: 42, Weeks On: 3) and then with Ryan Gosling on "City of Stars" (Peak: 42, Weeks On: 3), and Dirty Heads with "Oxygen" (Peak: 44, Weeks On: 4).

YESSSS I FINALLY GET TO SEE YOUR CHART!!!

I don't really listen to Christian stuff so I'll comment on pop and country.

Pop:
"Woman" is a jam!! Nice to see it at #1. A lot of great songs on here: Feel It Still, Sorry Not Sorry, What About Us, Hold On, Perfect, ...Ready for It?, Love So Soft, Too Much To Ask, Havana, Younger Now, I Like Me Better etc.

Country:
"In the Blood" is a nice song. I know the song sounds country, but it's weird seeing John Mayer atop the country chart! So many songs I like on here too!: Broken Halos, When It Rains It Pours (even though it's falling), Like I Loved You, Legends, When Someone Stops Loving You, Dear Hate, I've Done Love (it keeps slipping out of my mind when I'm doing my personal chart so I haven't charted it yet lol), Waiting on You, Heart Break, The Rest of Our Life, Long Way Down etc.

"Love in a Bar", "Roots", "Wild West" are growing on me now as well!

Awesome chart and I'm looking forward to following it!

[zaclord 🌈]

I know its weird having John Mayer #1 on Country! It was sent to country radio though so I decided to chart it on country over pop. Its SUCH an incredible song though. I've been obsessed with it since I first heard it.

How work your recurrent rules ?

A second negative week and a placement outside of the top 10 will send a song recurrent. So a second, third, fourth, etc negative week inside the top 10 will keep it on the chart but as soon as it’s a second negative week and hits #11 it’s donezo

[zaclord 🌈]

11.03.17 Christian Chart

Recurrent: Lecrae "I'll Find You (feat. Tori Kelly)" (1 [2]), Josh Baldwin "Get Your Hopes Up" (15)

Captain Cuts had a song last winter called "Love Like We Used To" that I loved so when I saw they had a new song out I checked it out and holy crap is it a jam.

Yes @ LBT and Montgomery Gentry's songs are incredible!

Verdict is still out for me on the bolded part, lol.


So I expect both LBT and MG to be #1 eventually

[.indulgecountry]

Kelsea Ballerini almost Top 5 and Levon enterting Top 10, yasssss!

Good choices in your album cuts charting ("Long Way Down," "Three," "Trigger," "Runnin' Just in Case"), too.

[Leo ✔]

Solid top 5 on Pop!
Great jump for NF!
