Witness1.3's 2020 Mid-Year Countdown

Welcome to my countdown! Over the next week or so, I will be counting down the top singles, albums, and artists on my personal charts from January 1st, 2020 to July 1st, 2020.

Singles: Any song that was released as an official single, promo single, or received a music video is eligible for the singles chart. Singles must have been released in either 2019 or 2020. Singles are ranked every week using last.fm and crownnote.com, and their positions on the countdown are based on points.

Important note about singles: The peak, weeks on chart, and points listed are for the dates they charted in 2020 only. This really only affects 2019 releases that have had their runs split across years. Many songs (especially higher up on the list) have peaked higher than what is listed, but that was their highest peak in 2020.

I Dare You is painfully generic, and I liked Anyone for a few weeks too but I haven't touched it since.
