BØRNS [96] 01. Mika [214]   Album of the Week: Mika 'My Name Is Michael Holbrook' Runner-Up | Adam Lambert 'VELVET: Side A'

 

 

 

FUN FACT: 2019 claims another huge record as Mika's "Tiny Love" now has the largest jump of all time (#21-1), beating the

17-spot leap (#18-1) that "Gorilla" by Bruno Mars made all the way back in 2013. Mika just dropped a new album (which is probably his

best yet) so that's what sparked his sudden rise. He does have a significant advantage as my countdown was a top 20 before this

year and he charted at #21 last week, but he still would've broken the record for Highest Return in that situation.

Motivation has grown on me so much I'm glad to see she's stable!

Glad He's Gone still gaining

I've been bopping since play #1  Easily the best song from a 5H member so far, I never expected her to be doing this well on my chart

Well... that's over  But at least she has retirement on lock

Adam Lambert beating Carly at #1. Charli XCX getting into the top 10! Tove Lo getting closer and closer to retiring, maybe in the top 10?

Carly actually had a strong shot at this #1 early in the week before Mika's album impact went hard, and then Adam kinda passed her on the last day. It was just temporary  Gonna have to go with no on that one  Luckily retirement has been on lock, especially since she's only one week away now.

Chelsea Jade [80] 02. Paramore [147] 01. Mika [244]   Album of the Week: Mika 'My Name Is Michael Holbrook' [x2] Runner-Up | Paramore 'After Laughter'

 

  

  

 

FUN FACT 1: Mika is one of the few artists to increase in plays the week after their new album dropped (he got 214

scrobbles last update, and 244 this time around.) The last notable time this happened was in 2017 with Bleachers (194 plays when

'Gone Now' came out in week 173, then 240 after that.)
FUN FACT 2: Mika scored the 4th highest MPA playcount this week, following Allie X (249 scrobbles), Broods (251) and Taylor Swift (341).
FORECAST: Caroline vs. Harry vs. Mika will likely continue into next week, but the big battle will actually be for AOTW as Caroline P, Foals

& Skylar Grey just put out new projects. 'My Name Is Michael Holbrook' should continue to pull strong numbers as well. Stay tuned

Well it's been doing really great on Billboard and that's the main reason the song caught my attention  Not my fault the US is very late to the game! Plus he put out a music video for it not too long ago.

Yeah it has fallen quite a bit recently  There's a good chance that this is its final week. Anyway, 13 weeks + a heavy #3 peak is really great for a song from a brand new indie band that only got a simple music video and 1 live performance.

Hmm, maybe  But most of the chart (mainly top 15) is still in super competitive mode. I'm kinda over this era anyway unless msa or ily is the next single... if there's even going to be one.

It's alright but pretty weak compared to his debut album.  Still better than 98% of Liam & Louis' stuff though.

Nope  But at least she'll have her highest position ever on my year-end chart (not counting Symphony, which I think got around #12 in 2017.) Tove had retirement on lock pretty much this whole time.

[MusicLoverDude]

Carly Top 5 and Normani still Top 10

 

I heard Someone You Loved a couple times on the radio the other day. It's an ok song but not something that has totally grown on me yet.

 

Cher Lloyd's song was ok. She hasn't wowed me in a long time unfortunately. I liked Niall Horan's new song.

 

Harleys In Hawaii is kind of overrated on here, but it's definitely better than Small Talk. 

 

Lover falling :( . I think this is going to be the single that I still listen to after this year ends. (most of the album still eclipses ME! in quality, even though I'm one of the few on here that loved it from first listen. YNTCD's video is more memorable than the song. Lover really has grown on me and it's going to be that single that will age well).

Almost everything is falling  Atleast Motivation is kinda stable

Someone you loved, Lover & HDYS all falling

Harry debuting in the top 3 with "Lights Up"  

 

"Someone You Loved" free falling  

 

Glad He's Gone had a great run.

[potent]

I listened to Caroline Polachek and her songs were fine, but not really interesting enough to me, maybe I'll try again.

Hopefully Someone You Loved is not done already

 

That percentage for Katy is kinda high

[T.O.A.D.S.]

Bye bye Glad He’s Gone... she had a great run

 

The Harry Styles song is quite good! Hope he does well here

[Pinkoverblue]

13/25

 

 

Wow. Almost everything dropping to make room for Caroline Polachek. I'm okay with that haha. Halsey still not getting to the countdown...

The emotion he puts into it is amazing   and probably one of the main reasons it's about to go #1 on Billboard... though it is having quite a messy run on my chart so far (#15-6-14-20).

 

I have to agree  I don't know why she's struggling to give us a REALLY good track after Sorry I'm Late. I was expecting better from Niall, at least he's not serving us scraps like Liam & Louis.

 

I wouldn't say I *loved* ME! from first listen but I enjoyed it more than most did  Lover (song) is great but it's never been one of my album highlights and the weather is still decently warm here in Florida so it doesn't feel like the best time to put the song on repeat or anything.

Yep, Tove did have a great run  Billboard should've followed my lead! Harry will continue to do well, too, though his success will be nothing compared to Sign of the Times (#1 for 7 weeks, #1 on my Year End list, still my most played song of all time.)

SHYHMF and Door are 10/10s for me and they're coincidentally the first 2 songs I heard from her  I think she actually released some of the best songs before the album dd, I kinda hate when people do that. If you do try again then I'd say Hit Me Where It Hurts, Look at Me Now, Ocean of Tears & Hey Big Eyes are the best ones to check out.

 

I think it's pretty fitting for a nice song that isn't as strong as Never Really Over (peaked at #4) and is leagues better than Small Talk (never charted.)

Pick U Up dying, but it had a good peak

Hopefully Lewis doesn't drop out too soon though
