CHART NOTES

Alex Warren holds at #1 for a 6th straight week with "Ordinary." In addition, his latest track, a duet with BLACKPINK's Rosé, debuts on the Top 20 at #16, with a third single, "On My Own". Meanwhile, "Burning Down" moving up 5 points to #12.


"On My Own" also marks Rosé's third single in the top 20 as she is currently charting with her worldwide smash hit "APT." (@ #4) with Bruno Mars, and also on her own with "Messy" (@ #5) from the F1® The Movie soundtrack. The video for "On My Mind" appear at the top of this post.


Lewis Capaldi is back with a brand new song. "Survive" bows in at #17. An article on iHeartRadio's site states: "Following an extended hiatus from music, Lewis's new song details his urge to 'survive' after quitting the business to focus on his mental and physical health."


Ed Sheeran is an artist that now has four tracks in the Top 20. "Azizam," Sheeran's former #1 song from earlier this year moves up a spot from last week's #4 to #3. Two other tracks, "Old Phone" and "Sapphire" both move up to #10 and #13 respectively. The newest song "Drive" debuts at #18 and also comes from the soundtrack of F1® The Movie.


At #19 we find Australia's Fanny Lumsden who is covering fellow Aussie Gotye's hit "Someone That I Used to Know." The track has been percolating on the lower, unseen rungs of this Top 20 chart. Good cover.


Finally at #20, we have The Rolling Stones who are back with a new recording called "Zydeco Sont Pas Salés" which is a tribute to the Zydeco genre sung entirely in French by Mick Jagger. 

The Current Top 20 is online at Spotify - Playlist formatted in countdown mode from #20 to #1.

CHART NOTES


"Ordinary" by Alex Warren holds at #1 for a 5th week in a row. Halfway through the year, we've had three songs holding on to #1 for more than 4 weeks now, which doesn't leave much space for other songs to hit the top. 

Only one song debuts on the chart this week. "Sapphire" is the latest single by Ed Sheeran to chart. It's at #20 while Ed's two other tracks are posted at #12, "Old Phone" and #4 "Azizam," which is a former #1 record.

A couple more videos appear below:


Iam Tongi's "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" from the Lilo & Stitch movie soundtrack moves up to #9 this week.


Marina's "Butterfly" moved from last week's #20 debut position to #13 this week. The track is off her new album Princess of Power.

This week's Current Top 20 can be heard on Spotify! It is presented in countdown mode, starting at #20 and counting down to #1.
