[Albie]

Glad to see "I Lived" back! I am hoping "Thinking Out Loud" can get some time at the top. Fun mix of music overall!

[H.]

Flawless top five and great to see GDFR and I Lived re entering.
Great chart  :)

Well guys, starting tomorrow, the new Personal Score rule goes into effect and Uptown Funk! is officially the first song in JL44 history to score a perfect 1000 points.

Well guys, when I debuted the new chart a few months ago, I told you that anything could happen! Well ladies and gentlemen, this is a first in my chart's history and it may have never happened in your chart either, maybe it did... THERE ARE NO DEBUTS THIS WEEK!!! That's right, only 3 re-entries and 3 dropouts. And... just like I said earlier, Uptown Funk is now chasing the record books with its fifth week at #1. Let's see what happened!

Trivia Question: Name the song that took the longest to get to #1 in Hot 100 history. For full credit, you need to give me the song, the author, and the number of weeks it took to get to #1.

[H.]

Great to see Mark and Bruno number one and Kenny re enter.
Great chart  :)

Thanks H!

[trustypepper]

Love seeing Centuries leap to No. 4! And a nice jump from I Lived!! Also nice to see Kenny's single re-enter!

Nice chart!

I think the answer to the trivia is the Macarena but I'm not sure about the side questions

[Deleted]

So awesome that Uptown Funk is still #1!!! great chart again!

It is the Macarena, that's one third of the question correctly answered.

Is it too late to make a 2014 Top 100 Year End Chart? If you're interested, I could make it in a week or less.

It's never too late! Just do what you feel like doing!

Nice to see "Uptown Funk" at number one. Great chart.

[Albie]

I would love to see "Thinking Out Loud" take the top spot. But "Uptown Funk" is worthy also.

It's looking like the top 2 is going to be locked in for a little while, but I think Thinking Out Loud might get a chance if it gets to #2 on the Hot 100 or even #1.

UPDATE: Albie, in today's Hot 100 Top 10 article, it was mentioned that Uptown Funk might have a lengthy run, but with Blank Space and Take me to church past their peaks, Thinking Out Loud should take the #2 spot soon and then both songs could be battling it out for the #1 spot in weeks to come. Uptown Funk and Thinking Out Loud should be locked in the top 2 for a while on the Top 44 since they both have high scores in every points category. Anything can happen in the next month, but I am sure that if Ed Sheeran would get a week at the summit, it would be sometime in February, possibly around Valentine's Day. Anywho, glad to see you like both songs! Have a good day!

Update on the 2014 Year End chart: About 10% done.

The correct answer to last week's Trivia Question was Macarena by Los Del Rio. Reached #1 in its 33rd week.

[Deleted]

Highlights: For the sixth week in a row, Uptown Funk is your #1, tying 23 for 6th longest reign on the chart. Thinking Out Loud spends its 4th week at #2. Usher gets his first Top 10 on the Top 44 as he rolls to #9, Heroes is almost top 10, Ghost reaches a new peak, and One Republic notches its third straight top 20 with I Lived. Chris Brown and Sia both notch a top 25 debut as well. 15 songs have been here since the beginning of the modern era at 12 weeks. Hope you enjoy!
