Iggy climbing  maybe she will return to the top 25? 

Nope  Her chances are gone now

Maggie getting the #1

I've yet to be super into any of her songs, but maybe this will be the one.

 

Heartless failing to properly debut, oop

Hopefully, because there's definitely other songs that should've grabbed you first

 

And it will continue to fail

So glad Raising Hell has stayed stable!

Normani has done really well too (did she really say it wasn't the first single from her debut album though???)

Adore You might be Harry's best sing to date! His album is cute too

Well... not for long

I think so  Hopefully there's better on the album then, if they're not gonna put Motivation on the tracklist...

It's definitely a solid one  And both Harry Styles + Fine Line are filled with excellence

On 12/11/2019 at 3:19 PM, Pinkoverblue said:

Normani getting so close to retiring. Selena and Chvrches recovering a little bit too. I'm hoping for Chvrches to do better, 

So close but not close enough.  But her lasting this long was pretty much a miracle anyway, especially since I hated 5H.

Well, about that...  But they could possibly rebound a bit next time. Not sure.

[JGibson]

13/30

 

Christmas Tree Farm debuting 

[Mr. Loco]

Christmas tree farm is really cute for the holidays 

Lover & Someone you loved 

Everything I wanted out of the top 25 

[Green]

Adore You debuting in the top 4 

 

Good debuts of Christmas Tree Farm and Before You Go too  

 

One Direction 

[Pinkoverblue]

14/25

 

 

Kim Petras dropping out already...

 

Caroline is still holding on at #2, she's having a great run on here. Lana getting new peaks. 

[Kevin2803]

Adore You is kinda cute. Maybe it will also debut on my countdown

[Remmy]

Damn, this dark mode really exposes how I copy and paste my layout nnn 

But I can't really do anything about it since I can't make tables organically on here anymore.

'TWtL,TRtD!'

 

  

  

 

NOTE: See you in 2020! My countdown will probably return on January 17th, so stay perched until then.  Will there

be some big debuts to kick off the decade? Will Friendly Fires end up retiring? How will my current top 10 be impacted? 

FUN FACT: This actually ended up being my all-time biggest scrobbling week somehow (previous record was 800 plays,

this week I got 836) - mainly thanks to Harry and Christmas music! Apparently I listened to music for 2 days & 3 hours total.

 

Most Played Songs (Continued):

17. Panic!- Ready to Go [11]
16. 5 Seconds of Summer- Airplanes [11]
15. Harry Styles- Fine Line [12]

Yeah she's done better than I expected  If there was less competition she could've been at 5-6 weeks on top at this point.

Just kinda cute?  And it definitely should!

11/25

 

Christmas Tree Farm top 10 

[potent]

Harry taking over top 2

At first I didn't love Adore You that much compared to Lights Up, but it's growing on me a lot lately, definitely a great choice for the pop lead.

Raising Hell is not holding up that well for me though

Let Me Know is a good one, I would have it debut on mine but I feel like it's too late.

Before You Go deserves to climb more 

[Green]

Adore You reaching #1   

 

Fine Line is amazing. I love the album

Harry Styles [174]   Album of the Week: Harry Styles 'Fine Line' [x2] Runner-Up | Broods 'Don't Feed the Pop Monster'

  

  

 

NOTE: Welcome back Wow, my old top 5 was barely impacted at all! As usual, every song that managed to stay on the

countdown got 4 weeks added to its total, even though those 4 weeks don't exist in chart form. Also, my Most Played Songs stats

are lower than they should be because I spent plenty of time listening to Christmas music at the end of 2019, and then over the past

2-ish weeks I revisited my top 50 albums of the last decade & put my library on shuffle a lot as well, so I didn't have much on repeat.
FUN FACT: "Silhouettes" is the 2nd song to technically last 23 wks on here, after "Peach" by Broods also had to wait until the new year to retire.

 

Most Played Artists (Continued):
14. Kesha [40]
13. Allie X [40]
12. Paramore [42]
11. Maggie Rogers [44]
10. Caroline Polachek [45]
09. Aly & AJ [45]
08. Mika [47]
07. Lorde [58]
06. Glee Cast [61]

 

 

RETIRED SONG #91:

FRIENDLY FIRES "SILHOUETTES"

 

 

FALL-OFFS: 25. Khalid- Up All Night [5wks] [#13] 24. The Naked and Famous- Sunseeker [3wks] [#15] 23. Adam Lambert- Superpower [15wks] [#01 (x1)] 22. Allie X- Fresh Laundry [12wks] [#05] 21. P!nk- Love Me Anyway [5wks] [#12] 20. Katy Perry- Harleys In Hawaii [9wks] [#10]

POSSIBLE FUTURE DEBUTS + RETURNS: Halsey "You should be sad" Jonas Brothers "What a Man Gotta Do" The Naked and Famous "Bury Us" Tove Lo "Bikini Pórn" + maybe more?

Before You Go deserves to climb more 

Over a month later, I'd still say they're my top 2 from the album (LU #1, AY #2) with Falling very very close behind.

I feel like at the time you said this it wouldn't have been a little late but not too bad - now she has moved on.

I enjoy the song but it's not really hitting me that hard  Not sure if it'll even enter the top 10 at this point.

Christmas Tree Farm still charting 

[potent]

Maniac is such a bop, I'm getting into Conan lately, The Story was just okay though imo but maybe it needs to grow on me.

Blinding Lights in the top 10

Great top 3 and Someone You Loved still managing to stick around

[Kevin2803]

Oh wow, @ Carlie slaying on your countdon 

 

Wrong Direction debuting 

[Mr. Loco]

Yasssss at this being back 

Lover and Christmas tree farm still here 

Someone you loved already bored me tho

[Pinkoverblue]

Caroline is holding on really well in the top 5. Carly Rae going up one spot, getting closer to retiring, hopefully Lover can do that soon. 

 

I'm glad Georgia was able to debut somewhere  

[Green]

Blinding Lights debuting in the top 10   

Adore You #1 again   

Falling, Cherry and Watermelon Sugar are some of my faves album tracks from Harry's album

FUN FACT 1: 'I Disagree' is the first ever experimental-pop-instrustial-electronic-post-rock-metal release to get AOTW!
FUN FACT 2: It's only the 2nd update of 2020 and things are getting very competitive. I didn't know who was going to

be #1 until the middle of Tuesday, when "Blinding Lights" gained a little, tiny lead.

 

 

RETIRED SONG #92:

That was only because of that update representing 12/20 to 1/16, so there was still some Christmas impact in there  I haven't listened to the song in weeks.

Yeah, The Story is simply alright  I'd say that, Comfort Crowd & Idle Town might be his weakest songs so far. Everything else is pretty good.

Well... about that

Both missed the opportunity, whoops  

 

Yep  Her album is solid. I wish I knew about her while About Work the Dancefloor & Never Let You Go were singles, my 2 favorites from Seeking Thrills.

Halsey + Grouplove debut 

[potent]

Plenty of good debuts, Grouplove, Bombay, Oh Wonder, TNAF 

Lewis and Conan falling again though

Great top 3 again though especially the top 2

[MusicLoverDude]

Halsey debuting and Selena stable

 

not surprised Hailee fell off tbh. It feels too similar to Lose You To Love Me 

[Brandon]

 

???????? ?????? #? 

[Mr. Loco]

Everything I wanted really should debut  35% are not much chances tho 

Blinding lights #1

Tove Lo + Halsey debuting! Caroline is having a great run, still in the top 3  

 

Georgia making it to the top 10

Blinding Lights jumping to #1  Great video effect

You should be sad debuting
