"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.
