personal countdown DESTINATION: WEEKEND [Nov 2024] Update #2: Side Lists (12/20)

[Pinkoverblue]

15/30

 

Amazing top 3! Definitely some of the best music out right now. Aly & AJ with the biggest debut  I can't wait for their new album.

 

Rachel jumping into the top 10 

 

I finally listened to Steve Lacy; I don't understand the appeal with that song

 

Carly getting Album of the Week  

[potent]

P!nk debuting pretty well

Nice top 2, although I don't think LID will do as well as Easy Lover for me. It's still a bop though.

Deep End suddenly dropping a lot  Cuff It and Sunset falling from their peaks

Die for You is great, not sure if it will chart on mine maybe if I can't find anything else lol

I heard those Hatchie and Kim songs but need to give them some more listens. Not a big fan of Sushi and the video didn't help either...

Karma still getting lots of plays

[Remmy]

Lift me up gone already 

Boyfriend is a bop  Haven't heard it in a while

Yeah I just couldn't get into it enough  and it seems like plenty of Rih fans/stans feel similarly

Same but I love the hell out of Ashlee  Might need a full discography revisit at some point, maybe early next year

 It's not for everyone but I enjoy it, BH is pretty chill and vibey. There's way, way, way, WAAAY worse songs to blow up from TikTok though.

Possibly the same with me since it hasn't hit #1 yet, although Easy Lover deserved more than 1 week on top from me.

And it will continue to do that, unfortunately It's just gotten a bit stale at this point.

Die for You has always been one of my favorites from Starboy so I'm glad it blew up  plus it's on radio + nearly top 20 on Billboard so that's good enough for me!

Nosedive is good, but IJWAR... not so much, but I thought it'd be worse based on the snippet she teased a while ago. I didn't watch the full video but I did see little pieces and it seems very interesting  But I love the song, and it became a single at a good time when the #1 spot is very non-competitive.

Most Played: Message In A Bottle

??? ??? ??? ??????   

[Mr. Loco]

Anti-hero & Never gonna not dance again both falling a bit 

Cuff it 

Mastermind in the most listened songs of the week as well as some other tracks from Lover 

[Alldeezy]

17/30

[Rominho.]

After LIKE, This is Why and Never Gonna Not Dance Again 

[Green]

Die for You debuting in the top 4 

 

Sushi is my least favorite Harry single.

[Pinkoverblue]

15/30

 

Love that top 3. Great to see Harry debut at #1, but that song got overplayed for me, and the music video being meh... probably not gonna do well on my chart. 

 

Beyonce having the best climb besides on the debuts. Really rooting for Kimbra to do well on here. "replay!' is amazing, I can't wait to see her live in February. AleXa has a cute song

[potent]

Die for You debuting high as expected, too bad Paramore fell kinda hard out of #1, but hopefully they get some more weeks in the top 10

Good debut for Hatchie. P!nk and Beyoncé kinda stuck, but I hope Cuff It can repeak at least

Substance out before retirement, but it still had a great run

Oh there was something new by AleXa? Wonderland was cute let me give it a listen...

NOTE 1: Hope everyone that celebrated Thanksgiving had a great one!
NOTE 2: Despite listening to 9 albums, 5 EPs & 3 deluxe editions for the 1st time, this ended up being one of the least competitive

AOTW battles since mostly everything was not strong enough to get it  + an EP I've already heard before received it in the end.

Not sure if Bey will but P!nk nearly just did.

Yeah and it's good  Although this new one is definitely a more K-Pop inspired.

Lots of great debuts. Ellie getting that #1 spot!  I'm amazed Lizzo is holding on to be able to retire. Ellie and Tove Lo also getting retirements soon. 

 

 

Holly had a cute run, that song has actually grown on me a lot.

NOTE 1: Rebecca Black getting a #1 was not on my 2022 bingo card... or any other year's bingo card, honestly

...but the song was in my head throughout the week & she managed to snatch one with ease! The last time she was on the

countdown was in 2013 with "Saturday", and I kicked her off early because I was too embarrassed to keep her around.
NOTE 2: The countdown will likely be starting its yearly Winter break on December 16th. Not 100% sure yet.

She might stay a little longer now that new releases are slowing down

The top 10 is pretty stuffed right now, I wouldn't count her out yet but she doesn't have a guaranteed chance either.

Ellie/Big Sean retire 

 

Kelsea debuting  

 

Most Played: Moral Of The Story + All I Want For Christmas Is You + Breathe + Everywhere 

[potent]

Kelsea debuting

She had a few cute songs some years ago, I heard Heartfirst and it was okay. Still need to hear that new one.

Die for You falling but still pretty stable. Easy Lover retiring that high  

I wonder if P!nk can make the top 10. Need to hear the new one with Troye, Made You Look is okay...

Underneath the Tree

[Mr. Loco]

Made you look on the possible debuts  I still have to fully listen to her album tho

Antihero still holding on the chart... let's hope it gets to stay until the december break 

Never gonna not dance again still rising 

[Alldeezy]

14/30! 

 

Crumbs 

[Rominho.]

Sad to see ITZY go but i hope "Cheshire" is coming to replace it! The top 4 is impecable, love all songs in it!

[Pinkoverblue]

16/30

 

 

Kimbra not even able to move up the chart... LOVE that top 5, good to see Ellie getting to retire up there. Tove Lo getting close to retire!

I love how Taylor is barely moving but still charting. 

 

Love the Michelle Branch flashbacks, I really wished I liked her new music.
