What about "Take Me To Church" and "FourFiveSeconds"? I personally adore "Love Me Like You Do" and "I'm Not The Only One", "Blank Space" and "Thinking Out Loud" are defining 2015 hits and classics in their own right, while "Sugar" was a nice return to form to Maroon 5's groovier sound. The weakest song here is "Lips Are Movin'", which is still Meghan's best uptempo from that era and much superior to "All About That Bass" in my opinion. 🙂

[sam8432]

Hoping No Time to Die makes it to the Top 10 over Blinding Lights, since the latter is much more likely to get there in the coming weeks than NTTD would be.

Please let that be the case.

[tuna]

i find Take Me To Church and Thinking Out Loud super boring, and FourFiveSeconds has some weird quality where the song goes by too fast and I can't remember much by the end. LMLYD is too slow, Ellie is better on upbeat dance songs like Lights or Burn or even On My Mind. The rest just don't interest me.

Of course, Style being there also instantly makes everything comparatively worse- like putting the Mona Lisa in a high school art gallery

Fair enough 🙂

2019's top 10 is quite strong as well, besides "7 rings" and "buwyg, ib", which I personally dislike, and "Please Me", which is not the best of both artists involved.

Regardless, we can at least agree that 2010's top 10 is by far the weakest of the three posted from last decade, right? 😁 
(even if "Tik Tok", "Bad Romance", and "Need You Now" remain incredibly strong to this day)

[tuna]

In general 2010 was a pretty bad year for the charts. The entire year felt like table scraps from 2009

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

Can NTTD PLEASE debut at 10 or 12, songs that peak at 11 kill my soul

The Sam Smith song is now predicted to debut 30 spots lower, which I didn’t see coming

Well they’ve done much worse in the later years. I’ll stand with what you said

14 52 From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart - Britney Spears

Why did this jump high? Physical CD sale?

Why the rebound for Roxanne? It seemed to peak on radio this week so did it get a bump on streaming ?

It's the first full week for its official video.

[fhas]

Kworb The Legend just updated the radio data for the last three days. Friday's data was missing due to an issue with AllAccess.

Yes indeed.

Looking at Y2K, it was a pretty good week for all genres of music. “I Knew I Loved You” is a memorable song, though a tad on the sweet side at times.

[jessutation]

Memories is bleeding too hard in all formats for “Don’t Start Now” to fall to #7 tomorrow — maybe a second week at #6 is more likely.

[spoons]

Anyone else rooting for Memories?
Just so that Someone You Loved can get pushed down the year end list as far as it can

Memories, 10,000 Hours and Someone You Loved are 3 of the most basic songs that have peaked in the top 5 ever since i started following the hot 100 7 years ago

How about both songs plummet as fast as they can.
