I warned you last week that this was coming... :kii: Strap yourselves in for some real chart madness this week! We see not one but two chart records broken, another chart feat accomplished with help from a record-breaker, and another chart best set for my chart's Top 40 era. Oh and here's something else interesting. Last week, there was but one song whose artist credits were entirely male in the entire Top 10 (Top 13, even) - and it just so happened to be the #1 song. One of those is no longer true this week. :) Sean: :) @drag27: Kacey up six. Albie: So are Ex Cops. Zeebz: Two of your Top 10 debut. Daryl the Beryl: Ellie up two. Mikey: Years & Years up seven. Flip: While Ariana is the week's Biggest Mover. Mike's Top 40 For the Week Ending: March 28, 2015 DROPPERS:Neon Trees - First Things First (from 39) Alex Winston - Careless (from 36) The Bright Light Social Hour - Infinite Cities (from 35) Tim McGraw featuring Catherine Dunn - Diamond Rings and Old Barstools (from 34) Trijnjte Oosterhuis - Walk Along (from 32) Avril Lavigne - Give You What You Like (from 31) Blonde featuring Melissa Steel - I Loved You (from 29) Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud (from 28) OK, if you've been paying attention in the Pop forum as of late, you've probably noticed me raving about the broad musical lineage that the Pop chart has seen as of late. That's right, I'm referring to the chart featuring artists in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s all at once. Well, this week it's my turn. Teens: The debuting Ella Henderson, who's 19. 20s: Way too many to name 30s: Also many 40s: Chicane (44), Shaggy (47), Kylie Minogue (46). Would also have included Tim McGraw, had he not fallen off. 50s: Madonna (56) 70s: Paul McCartney (72), Giorgio Moroder (74) Notice how I skipped 60s? Well, I saved that one as a segue into our next big chart story. You see, it features an artist who's not only a part of this musical chain, but also sets a new chart record all by themselves this week. The oldest artist ever to hit #1 on my chart has long been Carlos Santana, who took "The Game of Love" to the top for two weeks in December 2002. He was 55 when he did that. (As an aside, my first thought when checking this was possibly Terri Nunn of Berlin, with "Animal" having gone to the top last year - but, Terri's 53.) This week, that record has been broken by the woman who today turns the big 6-0 - of course, Reba McEntire! Now, given the presence of Paul and Giorgio, we'll see if she holds that record for very long (especially prudent given that "FourFiveSeconds" moves up to #6 this week). But, in the meantime, what a way to make chart history, eh? Oh, and I still have one more new chart record to talk about! That record also intertwines itself with the musical generation chain this week, thanks to the debuting Ella Henderson. She's one of a new record eight debuts this week. The #25 bow for "Aquaman" is also now the highest debut since I expanded to a Top 40 about a year and a half ago. Actually, the previous best was the #31 entry for Ciara's "Overdose", which "Aquaman", Ella, and Prince Royce's "My Angel" all beat this week. Incidentally, the 17-notch plunge for Josh Dorr this week is not a new chart record; back on October 12, 2013, Maroon 5 plummeted from 22 to 40 - 18 notches - with "Love Somebody". Though there has been much to celebrate this week, not everything is rosy here in these parts. Just ask the Top 20. 16-11 all hold position this week. (Look familiar? 18-13 did that two months ago, back on January 24.) From the looks of things, not much relief is in sight for a few weeks - Carrie and Angie are beginning to slide, and Milk Inc. look to be peaking, but otherwise many of these up-and-comers may just have to wait it out to get their shots at the upper echelon. And...that should do it for this week's chart talk. NEW PICKS OF THE WEEK:Allertz - Don't You Get ItBrandon Flowers - Can't Deny My LoveJukebox the Ghost - PostcardSultan + Shepard featuring Tegan & Sara - Make Things RightZonderling - TelraamUntil next week... :) -Mike

This could probably be at least a Top 50 with the amount of songs that are deserving of a spot that aren't yet in. Outlook rn is that things wouldn't get much better (actually, they'd get a lot worse) - but between that and the fact that I seem to keep doing this to myself (chart had these issues last year too...), I'll probably need to drastically cut some fat and let go of a few songs that I'd otherwise hold onto for longer. :'( Can't promise that that'll automatically let "Secrets" in - but, that would certainly improve its odds some.

This week has turned out to be rather vicious. What does the fallout leave us? Sean: How does Reba fare in trying for a second week on top? Flip: The Script up five. Mikey: Ella up two. Zeebz: Carly Rae up three. Albie: Giorgio + Kylie up six. @drag27: Ellie one step closer to her first crown. ♛ The Manticore ☯: Charli reaches Top 10 territory. Daryl the Beryl: So do ZBB. Mike's Top 40 For the Week Ending: April 4, 2015 DROPPERS:Bobby Green featuring Sean Michael Murray - Changing Me (from 38) Josh Dorr - Save Your Breath (from 34) Chicane featuring Lisa Gerrard - Orleans (from 31) Well, this week sees a big surprise...what started off looking like Reba would have no trouble scoring a second week on top, instead has ended with her shoved backward to #3, due to "FourFiveSeconds" and "Style" staging their own charge and duking it out themselves. In the end, Taylor wins to score her 4th #1 song on my chart. (Oddly enough, had Rihanna won, it would have been her 4th #1 as well. And how close was Paul to snatching Reba's new record after only one week of having it?) So, where does this leave things now? "Slow" falls to #7; that song's bullet loss last week was its death knell for its chances to reach the top. Smallpools also fall to #6; they too will have nowhere to go but down from here. Of the ladies bulleted in the Top 5? Madonna is probably the only one with no real shot at the summit, as barring a surprise like this week, I don't see her being able to fight past all four of the others to get there. (Not to say it can't happen, it's just...highly unlikely. ) This actually isn't the first time that Rihanna and Taylor have both made big pushes for #1 in the same week: Back on February 12, 2011, we saw "What's My Name" make the exact same 6-2 leap that she makes here this week, while "Back to December" jumped 7-3. Taylor would have the last laugh; Rihanna peaked right there, while Taylor scored her first #1 the very next week enroute to a 5-week stay. Ellie isn't out of the race by any means though, either. Neither is Reba; she could very well return to #1 at any point. So, what this boils down to is that we have a four-way-dance for the chart crown shaping up for at least next week, and potentially more weeks beyond that. Considering what's coming up below Smallpools and Cyril, however...that could prove dicey. LeToya and Charli each hit the Top 10 this week, as do Zac Brown Band, who along with Emily Hearn take 5-notch jumps. They should remain formidable for a little while, as should Giorgio and Kylie, who see their biggest single-week move yet, leaping six to #12. Meanwhile, Fancy Reagan have the week's Biggest Move, with their 8-notch jump to #13. It should come as no surprise that the logjam in the middle of the chart has seen casualties, as this week that comes to pass. The somewhat bizarre thing about it, though, is that the two casualties - "When the World Stops Turning" and "Who Do You Love" - each tied for the week's Biggest Move just three weeks ago. :O It appears that both have turned out to be beneficiaries of the chart's recent exodus, with the songs racing for the exit (most of whom are now gone) having shoved them upward. This week, both those songs have run out of gas, with Chris Malinchak having the week's Biggest Drop (down 13), and Kindness/Robyn dropping 9. Chart logjams seem to have shifted toward the lower reaches of the chart, however - just ask Ariana Grande! Last week's Biggest Mover takes one step...backward! this week. Ex Cops re-entered three weeks ago - then jumped to #30, last week moved to #24, this week...pushed back two to #26. Florence and the Machine jumped eight to #25 two weeks ago, last week moved up two more, this week sees that move reversed. A very, very tough week for songs in the middle of the pack - and it's worth noting that all the songs that jumped past one or more of these three are all newer. For now, though, the falling songs have split up the pack a bit more compared to last week. And...that should do it for this week's chart talk.

I think she'll get back in there for at least one more week; I'm not really content with her getting just the one. Taylor was going to get #1 with "Style" eventually - this just saw it happen a bit sooner than expected. As to "FourFiveSeconds", that might miss (making it the second time Rihanna's jumped 6-2 only to peak right there, LOL).

Another week, another chart - and this week sees two songs debut upon their first week of impact. Without checking to be sure, that hasn't happened since February 1 of last year, which was largely driven by Grammy fever. Zeebz: And one of those two just hit your Top 10. :) Sean: Has she regained the chart crown? ♛ The Manticore ☯: Charli up two. Daryl the Beryl: So are ZBB. Mikey: Ella up six. Flip: Carly Rae ties for the week's Biggest Mover. Albie: Along with Walk the Moon. @drag27: And Kacey inches forward. Mike's Top 40 For the Week Ending: April 11, 2015 DROPPERS:Years & Years - Desire (from 39) Chris Malinchak featuring Sam Dew - When the World Stops Turning (from 27) Reba swings right back this week, returning to the top spot and pushing Taylor and Rihanna each down one. The Top 10 continue to heat up, with "Karaoke" as the only unbulleted song up there, and at #10. Expect to see a bullet loss or two, quite likely next week. Then, right outside the Top 10, we have Giorgio + Kylie, Fancy Reagan, and now Walk the Moon who want in. WTM, by the way, tie Carly Rae for the week's Biggest Move, each up seven. Shifting to the other end of the chart, "See You Again" shoots right in at #40. Now, this isn't the first time that a soundtrack has placed two songs on my chart concurrently. 2012 kicked off with Bruno Mars up to #2 with "It Will Rain" from the Breaking Dawn Part 1 soundtrack. That same week, Christina Perri arrived with "A Thousand Years". (And as fate would have it, both would hit #1.) The weeks to come, however, will certainly be the first time a soundtrack has had two rising songs at once; Breaking Dawn really can't qualify for this with "It Will Rain" already nearly at the summit by the time "A Thousand Years" landed. "Talking Body" also comes in, seemingly out of nowhere, at #31. Admittedly I hadn't listened to it, but it's popped up on me in the past few weeks due to my checking out a bunch of AT40 affiliates. It's not listed as a "New Pick of the Week" because, well, it's hardly new. And running out of gas fairly quickly are Mikky Ekko, FATM, and Ex Cops on their second run. "Love You Crazy" had been building for a little while below the chart, but now that it's made it in I've grown tired of it. I've had an up-and-down reaction to "What Kind of Man", flipping between being into it and being not so into it, and the pendulum has swung the other way. As for "Black Soap", that re-entered when I became interested in it again for a bit and then shot upward due to the recent mass exodus of songs during those weeks, but now that burst has run out too. And...that should do it for this week's chart talk.

Bye "Desire" - its dipping on my chart too though. Very nice debuts though. I like them both.
Florence is going the wrong way. >:( Glad that "King" and "Right Here, Right Now" are doing well. The same goes for "Want To Want Me".
"Aquaman" better work!

As Reba McEntire tries for a third week on top ( Sean), five new songs shoot into the survey this week. :) Zeebz: And one of those debuts is your new #1. :) @drag27: Kacey continues to move slowly. Flip, Daryl the Beryl: Wiz is this week's Biggest Mover. Albie: Giorgio + Kylie reach Top 10 territory. Mikey: While Ella reaches the Top 20. ♛ The Manticore ☯: While Milk Inc. do drop out, I suspect you'll like at least one of the songs that replaces them. :) Mike's Top 40 For the Week Ending: April 18, 2015 DROPPERS:Mikky Ekko - Love You Crazy (from 39) Kindness featuring Robyn - Who Do You Love (from 38) Milk Inc. - Don't Say Goodbye (from 28) Florence and the Machine - What Kind of Man (from 27) Ex Cops - Black Soap (from 26) Third time's the charm for Ellie Goulding, as she (fittingly) climbs the final three rungs to reach the peak of the mountain this week. It's her first trip to the chart summit in four attempts. Her first...didn't go so well, as "Lights" stalled at #12 for five weeks (!) in early 2012. Her two other chart appearances have been her two first real shots at #1 - in October 2013, "I Need Your Love" with Calvin Harris made it up to #2, only to be denied as "Brave" by Sara Bareilles jumped 3-1 the following week. A few months later, Ellie took "Burn" up to #2, only to be denied again as "Uprising of Love" by Melissa Etheridge jumped 7-1 (!) the following week. Very frustrating...this time, she skips #2 altogether, and sends Rihanna, Taylor, and Reba each back one to push her way to the top. Also worth noting: When "Style" went to the top two weeks ago, it was the first song to do so that had also hit #1 on the Pop chart since "Give Your Heart a Break", back in September 2012! (There are a few Pop #1s from the middle of 2013 that certainly could have done so, had my chart not been shut down at the time.) Now, "Love Me Like You Do" is already the second song to do both since then. The last song to hit #1 that had also topped the Billboard Hot 100, was "Diamonds", at the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013. Hard to say when that particular drought will end...though "See You Again" is perhaps the most likely candidate to do it. I'm not sure that's saying much at the moment, though that does post the exact same Biggest Move this week that "FourFiveSeconds" did back on February 7. (And yet, despite a nearly identical jump the following week, that song just missed the top spot...) In any event, I'd expect Ellie to stay put next week at least, as Rihanna, Taylor, and Reba should start falling, while we see what LeToya and Charli will do. Meanwhile, Zac Brown Band and Emily Hearn hold at #8 and #9 respectively, and now with four bulletless songs in front of them, they'll be anxious to move up! So too will Giorgio and Kylie, who enter the Top 10 this week. Shaggy and company spend a fourth week at #17, and I'm thinking this is the beginning of the end for them, as this is now the third straight week they've been held in place as other songs jump over them, and there's a pack of four right behind them eager to do that same thing as early as next week. Some housecleaning this week, as five songs drop out to make room for debuts by long-building songs from The Great Lake Swimmers and Ingrid Michaelson, a strong follow-up from Madonna, a hot comeback from Brandon Flowers, and what looks to be a sizzling smash this coming summer from New World Punx. Speaking of which, one-half of New World Punx is DJ Markus Schulz, who this week also sees a solo production pop up in the New Picks of the Week. Were that to make its way to my chart, that'd mark the first time an artist charts here both solo and as part of a group/duo simultaneously (and there's a good chance that "Memories" will be staying awhile, so it's all up to the appropriately-titled "Destiny" to do it). But they'll all have to cool their heels for a bit, as should most of their peers, as once again, we're hitting super-competitive times in these chart parts. Four bulletless songs indeed habit the Top 10 - but take a look below: Just four more inhabit the entire rest of the chart, and they're fairly spread out (and one of those is the week's Biggest Dropper at #40). So...expect to see some lower-chart casualties once again in the next few weeks. And...that should do it for this week's chart talk. NEW PICKS OF THE WEEK:Good Old War - Tell Me What You Want From MeKate Pierson - Mister SisterMarkus Schulz featuring Delacey - DestinyErik Hassle - No WordsSay Lou Lou - Nothing But a Heartbeat (Was available free on iTunes last week; also : video - which is over 8 minutes long) Josh Dorr - All or NothingNe-Yo - Coming With YouAvril Lavigne - FlyClosing with a note from the "Crazy Maddeningly Obscure Chart Facts" files: Say Lou Lou are Elektra and Miranda Kilbey-Jansson, the twin daughters of Steve Kilbey. Steve is lead singer of Australian band The Church, whose fame have largely been confined to their homeland, save for a few singles that did see success elsewhere in the later 80s and early 90s, such as their sole U.S. Top 40 hit "Under the Milky Way" in 1988 and an Alternative chart-topper in 1990, "Metropolis". Until next week... :) -Mike

Forget I said that about Markus tho. Just remembered, he'd actually be the second to chart solo and with group; Sean Michael Murray just got done doing that a few weeks ago ("Changing Me" is out, but "Knock Me Out" remains).

♛ The Manticore ☯: New World Punx and Giorgio/Kylie each up one. @drag27: So is Kacey...again... Zeebz: And Brandon. Daryl the Beryl, surfy: Tove Lo up two. Sean: Where does Reba end up this week? Albie: Years & Years up three. Flip: Wiz/Charlie once again the week's Biggest Mover. Mikey: Ella up four. Mike's Top 40 For the Week Ending: April 25, 2015 DROPPER:Angie Miller - Miles (from 40) Limited commentary this week, since there's not a great deal of movement. Ellie holds onto the top spot for a second week, while Reba McEntire unexpectedly remains planted as the runner-up. Three new ladies look to be challenging for the chart crown, however - how long will Ellie last? Quite a few songs jumping over other songs this week. Wiz and Charlie have the Biggest Mover for the second straight week, though as with "FourFiveSeconds", they will not have it so easy moving up into the chart's upper regions. Shaggy, after four weeks stalled at #17, has seemingly run out of steam, and falls to #20. So too have Monarch at #19, though they might not have fallen five had the teens not been so fiercely competitive right now. Then again...pretty much every section of the chart is competitive right now! Adam Lambert wastes no time in coming onto the survey, with the week's sole debut at #39. This, of course, gives us back to back weeks with "Ghost Town" debuts. ) And...that should do it for this week's chart talk. NEW PICKS OF THE WEEK:Adam Lambert - Ghost Town (#39) Aquilo - Better Off Without YouEd Sheeran - PhotographFickle Friends - Could Be WrongLaura Doggett featuring Alice Jemima - Night GirlSeether - Nobody Praying For Me (Track 8.

Yes Y&Y you better inch up near that top 10! "King" for the crown please. :)
I'm still not 100% convinced on Adam's "Ghost Town" but I do like it some so I'm glad to see it debut for you. Wow, look at "See You Again" go! Walk The Moon is almost top 10 - Giorgio and Kylie are top 10! And Ellie continues to slay atop. All is well.

A bit late this week, but this week's #1 song involves an interesting chart feat... :) Flip: Adam up two. Albie: So are Y&Y. surfy: And Tove Lo. ♛ The Manticore ☯: And New World Punx. Zeebz: Brandon up five. Mikey: So is Ella. Daryl the Beryl: ZBB up three. @drag27: Giorgio/Kylie up one. Mike's Top 40 For the Week Ending: May 2, 2015 DROPPERS:Katy Tiz - Whistle (While You Work It) (from 40) Cyril Hahn featuring Rochelle Jordan - Slow (from 34) LeToya Luckett struts her stuff into the #1 spot this week, and in the process further extends a fascinating chart feat. Only three groups have reached my chart that have also seen members (or ex-members) of that same group go all the way to #1 solo - Destiny's Child, Matchbox Twenty, and Fancy Reagan. Matchbox are the only ones to hit #1 themselves and also see a member hit #1 on their own, though it remains to be seen if Fancy Reagan can also pull it off. But, Destiny's Child are the only group to see more than one member (or ex-member) hit #1 on my chart on their own. Kelly Rowland did it at the beginning of 2003 with "Stole", Beyonce did it twice with "Me, Myself, and I" and teaming up with Lady Gaga for "Telephone", and now this week LeToya becomes the third member or former member of Destiny's Child to reach the top of my chart with a solo hit. She narrowly holds off Emily Hearn to do it, too - Emily leaps from #6 to #2, and will certainly be gunning hard for that top spot next week. Charli XCX appears to have run out of gas at #4, and with the competition behind her, it doesn't look like she'll be going any higher. Zac Brown Band march up to #5 in hopes of crowning another Country #1 on my chart, but look out! Walk the Moon make a big leap into the Top 10 this week and could very well fly past them. The middle of the chart sees a boost this week with the downshifts of a few older songs and a couple more who've run out of steam. Thus, it's no wonder that there's no Biggest Mover this week - the biggest move is 5 notches, which SIX songs do. On the other end, Shaggy is the only one to fall double-digits this week. That's going to be it for this week...I'm late enough on this one as it is. NEW PICKS OF THE WEEK:Giorgio Moroder featuring Britney Spears - Tom's Diner (actually one of the stronger YTs up at the moment) Randy Houser - We Went (audio currently appears to be MIA ) Rihanna - American OxygenUntil next week... :) -Mike

New World Punx slowly but surely moving on up. It's been a very tough couple of weeks for songs in the lower reaches. But, much as, say, Brandon Flowers and The Great Lake Swimmers had a better week this week, next week New World Punx should probably see a nice upward move. :)

Oooooookay...sorry for being super super late with this week's chart. :( But, as the opening gif shows, it's another one of those weeks again...! Six songs debut this week, which includes a first: Two pairs of twin sisters both debut in the same week! More interesting facts regarding these debuts, and more, to come below. And speaking of interesting facts...can the third former member of Destiny's Child to hit #1 on my chart, LeToya Luckett, hold onto that #1 spot this week, or is Emily Hearn erupting a #1 volcano? Only one way to find out... :) ♛ The Manticore ☯: Told you New World Punx would have a better week this week. ;) Flip: Adam up six. @jakelmmrs44: Tove Lo up three. surfy: So is Carly Rae. Daryl the Beryl: ZBB up two. @drag27: So are Giorgio/Kylie. Mikey: And Ella. Zeebz: Brandon Flowers up four. Albie: While "Aquaman" certainly "works". ;) Mike's Top 40 For the Week Ending: May 9, 2015 DROPPERS:Carrie Underwood - Little Toy Guns (from 39) Ingrid Michaelson - Time Machine (from 35) Kacey Musgraves - Biscuits (from 34) Smallpools - Karaoke (from 32) Shaggy featuring Mohombi, Faydee, & Costi - Habibi (I Need Your Love) (from 30) Ariana Grande - One Last Time (from 29) As I mentioned above, this week's six debuts include two pairs of twin sisters. I talked about Say Lou Lou a few weeks ago, and the other pair are, of course, Tegan & Sara, who score their third chart entry in collaboration with another Canadian pair this week. Also, as it turns out...this week's six debuts are all sung by women! And no two acts among those women come from the same country: :o Daphne Khoo, the vocalist for "Louder", hails from Singapore. Jessie Ware is from England. Tegan & Sara are Canadian. Krewella are American. (And BTW, they are now a duo, also a pair of sisters - though these sisters aren't twins.) Say Lou Lou are Australian (who also claim Swedish citizenship, FWIW). And, Rihanna's from Barbados. The only other artists among the debuts are Paul van Dyk and Roger Shah, themselves both German DJs. Quite the spread this week! One other thing I want to touch on, given this week's debuts, is what seems to be the outlook as summer approaches. (Last week, it really felt like it was already here given the 80-degree days that there were, LOL. This week so far has been a reminder that we're not quite there yet... ) Four debuts all seem to come from a very similar musical realm, even if sonically there are some differences. Those are the four from Say Lou Lou, Krewella, Sultan + Shepard/Tegan & Sara, and Paul van Dyk et. al. These all come from somewhere in the realm that extends from Dance/Pop to straight-up EDM. Several other songs already charting also come from this musical area: The ones from Madeon/Mark Foster, Adam Lambert, New World Punx, Moko, Allertz, Years & Years, and Giorgio/Kylie. There's also two from Madonna, but one's a straight-up ballad and the other is currently falling, as is Taylor Swift's recent Pop #1. Another good Pop song to compliment these is the current Top 20 charter from Carly Rae Jepsen. Then, bubbling under and approaching the chart fast are the ones from Markus Schulz and Giorgio/Britney. Suffice it to say this sound is going to be huge for me this summer. That's probably not good news for Country songs, since Country and EDM, when they're not mixed together in the same song, often don't mesh well with separate songs next to each other. It might've been bound to happen that Country would retreat some, though, with the departures of Kacey Musgraves and Carrie Underwood this week, plus Reba is now also falling (with Carrie's and Smallpools' departures, hers is now the oldest song in the survey). Zac Brown Band are currently #3, but were just jumped over by Walk the Moon this week, so they may be peaking right there. Ballads continue to rule the day, however. There's Ellie's recent #1. LeToya's isn't a ballad but is midtempo at best, Emily Hearn has just hit #1 with her ballad, Walk the Moon's song is midtempo at best, and of course there's "See You Again" which is now the week's Biggest Mover for a third time (expect this to be a future #1). So it may not be until well into June that we see the big Pop/EDM songs start challenging for #1. (Sorry, but don't expect "Right Here, Right Now" to reach #1 - Walk the Moon flew past last week, and now Fancy Reagan jumps over this week. Plus there's Giorgio/Britney waiting in the wings...) One final note: The departures of Carrie and Smallpools this week mean that the last two songs from my original starting 40 for this year have now left. :'( And...that should do it for this week's chart talk. No New Picks for this week; I was going to suspend this for the week anyway, but being super super late with posting this just gives me even more incentive to do so. Until next week... :) -Mike

I know I have been MIA these months in this part of the forum, but it didn't mean that I haven't checked some personal charts, like yours. Having said that, I enjoyed that you charted "The Key", "The Rhythm", "Wish You Were Mine", "When the World Stops Turning", "Lover", "Desire" and, especially, "I Loved You", which reached atop. Anyway, regarding your current chart, good to see that "Love Me Like You Do" is still in the Top 10, along "Aquaman" and "Right Here, Right Now". Also, go "King"! Top 10 next week, please. Oh! And you may know that I was leaving the following at the last because there is a song from Madeon on your chart! I'm rooting for this and I hope "Nonsense" keeps climbing and stays atop for multiple weeks of course
