Graduation Posted August 27, 2020 Author Posted August 27, 2020 For the week ending August 29, 2020 • Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion made it 2 for 2 last week as “WAP” ran up the score on its opponents for a second week at #1. Will this week bring more of the same, or will DaBaby return to glory with his “Rockstar”? And what about Gabby Barrett; she’s steadily risen the past month. Will it culminate in a chart-topping week for “I Hope” this week? • A lot of movement on the countdown as six songs debut this week. As we say goodbye to two Dua Lipas, we say hello to two more, as well as hits from BTS, Drake, Miley Cyrus and Zara Larsson. Also leaving this week are past hits from Chris Brown & Young Thug, Saint Jhn, Surf Mesa and Topic.

Will he being laughing again next week, or will that he starts crying? “WAP” only dropped one spot this week, so it definitely feels like we’ll be seeing Cardi and Thee Stallion threaten for a return trip to #1 in the coming weeks. Juice WRLD is looking for his first #1 single, the posthumous “Come & Go” reaching a new #3 peak this week. Which direction will the Marshmello collab head next week? • FUN FACT In his 31st week on the countdown, The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” finds itself outside of the top 10 for the first time. His 30 weeks in a row inside the top 10 is a countdown record, one that might never be replicated. • Thanks for checking out the countdown and voting. Have a great weekend and stay safe. Practice social distancing as much as possible and please wear a mask if going outside. And as always, Black Lives Matter.

Will she build off this success next week, or will she suffer a similar fate to that of Drake and “Laugh Now Cry Later”? 24kGoldn surprised with his top 5 debut; will the “Mood” be right for he and iann dior to overtake Miley for the crown next week? And don’t forget Lewis Capaldi and BTS. Both rose 10+ spots this week to reach the top 5. Can either carry that momentum to the top in one week’s time? • FUN FACT With her third #1 single, Miley Cyrus joins nine other artists with 3 #1s on the Sound Check Top 20. Those artists are: Alessia Cara, Beyoncé, Flo Rida, Jay Z, Khalid, P!nk, Sam Smith, Sia, and twenty one pilots. • Thanks for checking out the countdown and voting. Have a great weekend and stay safe.

Graduation Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 SONGOFTHESUMMER2020 • This was a Summer unlike any other in our history, the world hampered by COVID-19 and social unrest stemming from years of unchecked police brutality. Traditionally during the summer months you would hear these twenty hits everywhere - out of car speakers, bars and nightclubs, live shows - yet this year we experienced most of these songs indoors, through streaming services and YouTube video plays. The summer was highlighted by a trio of women collaborating together - Megan Thee Stallion with Beyoncé, Lady Gaga with Ariana Grande, and Cardi B with Megan Thee Stallion, as well as a pair of hits from 2019 that couldn’t be denied this year: The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” and Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar.” Who will reign supreme as this year’s winner of our Song of the Summer countdown? Powfu ”Death Bed (Coffee For Your Head)” [feat. beabadoobee] 74 ÷ 10.4 + 2 = 9.12 Trevor Daniel ”Falling” 73 ÷ 11.9 + 3 = 9.13 Surfaces ”Sunday Best” 73 ÷ 11.9 + 3 = 9.13 Doja Cat ”Like That” [feat. Gucci Mane] 65 ÷ 14.5 + 5 = 9.48 Maren Morris ”The Bones” 74 ÷ 8.7 + 1 = 9.51 Juice WRLD & Marshmello ”Come & Go” 77 ÷ 8.2 + 1 = 10.39 Jason Derulo & Jawsh 685 ”Savage Love (Laxed-Siren Beat)” 81 ÷ 10.9 + 3 = 10.43 Megan Thee Stallion ”Savage (Remix)” [feat. Beyoncé] 79 ÷ 7.8 + 1 = 11.13 Gabby Barrett ”I Hope” 85 ÷ 11.6 + 4 = 11.33 Lewis Capaldi ”Before You Go” 114 ÷ 10.6 + 6 = 16.75 Benée ”Supalonely” [feat. Gus Dapperton] 131 ÷ 10.1 + 7 = 19.97 Jack Harlow ”WHAT’S POPPIN (Remix)” [feat. DaBaby, Tory Lanez & Lil Wayne] 141 ÷ 6.9 + 5 = 25.43 Dua Lipa ”Break My Heart” 162 ÷ 8.5 + 8 = 27.06 Taylor Swift ”cardigan” 103 ÷ 3.8 + 1 = 28.11 SAINt Jhn ”Roses (Imanbek Remix)” 171 ÷ 7.8 + 8 = 29.92 DaBaby ”Rockstar” [feat. Roddy Ricch] 159 ÷ 5.1 + 5 = 36.18 Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande ”Rain On Me” 202 ÷ 7.5 + 10 = 36.93 Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion ”WAP” 77 ÷ 1.8 + 1 = 43.78 The Weeknd "Blinding Lights" 226 ÷ 5.9 + 10 = 48.31 Harry Styles ”Watermelon Sugar” 230 ÷ 5.7 + 10 = 50.35 1.

Miley Cyrus: “Midnight Sky” • Congratulation Harry Styles on his run to #1 on the Song of the Summer 2020 with “Watermelon Sugar.” His hit just barely eked out the victory over “Blinding Lights,” The Weeknd’s inescapable hit single. • FUN FACT Last year’s Song of the Summer was “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish. • Chart Methodology: I used an inverse point system through the summer months (the #1 video received 20 points and working all the way down to the #20 video receiving 1 point) tallying the points all 15 weeks to come up with the highest scoring 20 videos. Next, I found the average chart position for each of the 20 songs through the 15 week period and used it to divide the point total for each song. Lastly, I awarded songs anywhere from 10 to 1 point for their chart duration: 15 weeks on the chart received 10 points, all the way down the videos spending ≤6 weeks on the chart receiving 1 point. • EXAMPLE 1 Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande: “Rain On Me” 202 POINTS ÷ 7.5 AVG = 26.93 “Rain On Me” spent 15 weeks on the countdown, worth 10 points. 26.93 + 10 = 36.93 • EXAMPLE 2 Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion: “WAP” 77 POINTS ÷ 1.8 = 42.78 “WAP” spent 4 weeks on the countdown, worth 1 point. 42.78 + 1 = 43.78 • Thanks for checking out the countdown and voting.

Graduation Posted September 10, 2020 Author Posted September 10, 2020 For the week ending September 12, 2020 • Miley Cyrus came in like a wrecking ball last week, supplanting Drake and securing the #1 spot with her new single “Midnight Sky.” Will she continue to have success this week, or will last week’s runner-up, Lewis Capaldi’s “Before You Go,” make a push to #1 before it signs off? Then there’s BTS, who launched 15 spots a week ago to #5. Will “Dynamite” blow up even more this week and give the boy band their first ever #1 hit? • The Weeknd continues his historic run with “Blinding Lights” this week as it reaches a 33rd week on the chart. With just three more weeks on the countdown, it will surpass Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” (35 weeks) as the song with the most weeks ever on the countdown. • There are just two new songs to the countdown this week.

Then there’s The Weeknd, who can’t seem to be denied with “Blinding Lights.” Will his massive hit reach #1 for an incredible 8th time next week? • FUN FACT In the corresponding weeks for 2017 and 2019, Katy Perry had the #20 video as well. In 2017, she charted at #20 with “Swish Swish” and last year she charted at the same position with “Small Talk.” • Thanks for checking out the countdown and voting.

Graduation Posted September 17, 2020 Author Posted September 17, 2020 For the week ending September 19, 2020 • The #1 carousel continued last week with a fifth #1 video in as many weeks. Last week, it was Lewis Capaldi taking over the top with “Before You Go.” Will he secure #1 for a second week in a row, or will Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion return to the top with “WAP”? • There are just one debut this week, and another two return. Dua Lipa returns after a two week absence with friends the Blessed Madonna, the actual Madonna, and Missy Elliott, and Ava Max returns after a 21-week (!) absence with “Kings & Queens” just as her debut album drops. The lone debut this week comes from Conan Gray, making his first ever appearance on the countdown with “Heather.” Leaving the countdown are hits from BLACKPINK & Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift.

Lewis Capaldi: “Before You Go” 21. 24kGoldn: “Mood” [feat. iann dior] • Congratulation to 24kGoldn and iann dior, as both artists land at #1 for the first time ever with their collaboration “Mood.” Will the good vibes continues next week, or will the mood sour as a slew of former #1s breathe down their neck. “Rockstar,” “WAP,” “Midnight Sky,” “Blinding Lights” and “Laugh Now Cry Later” are all within striking distance of #1, and each could return to former glory next week. And then there’s Gabby Barrett, who hopes to become the latest artist to get her first week at #1 with her breakthrough hit “I Hope.” • FUN FACT The last time two vocalists scored their first #1 single on the same song was last year’s “Old Town Road (Remix)” from Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus. (“Roses (Imanbek Remix)” was the first #1 for both Saint Jhn and Imanbek, but Imanbek does not provide vocals on the track.) • Thanks for checking out the countdown and voting.
