CHART NOTES

Four songs make their debut this week. They include the latest by OneRepublic, "Run" and Olivia Rodrigo's third single, "Good 4 U." "Run" is the high debut of the week starting at #16 and "Good 4 U" lists at #18. Bringing up positions #19 and #20 are two indie songs, both from YouTube.

Olivia Rodrigo has the #1 Billboard Hot 100 song "Good 4 U" @ #18 here.



The first at #19 is by IMY2, who have made a name for themselves by covering a whole variety of cover songs on the video streaming service for the past few years. They've also released about a dozen original songs. "Kiss" is IMY2's second single to chart on Mel's Current Top 20, the first being "Breakfast in Bed" which peaked at #8 earlier this year. "Kiss" has a good pop/reggae vibe to it and could become IMY2's breakout success.

IMY2 - "Kiss" @ #19



The last of the debut songs at #20 is by a kid's rock band who have tackled a sensitive topic with their original composition. "Racist, Sexist Boy" is a raw punk rock song filmed at a library by the kid group The Linda Lindas. All I can say about this one is that it's a scorcher! Wow!

The Linda Lindas "Racist, Sexist Boy" @ #20



Elsewhere on the chart, the top 4 records stay the same as they were last week with The Weeknd sticking at #1 for a 4th week with "Save Your Tears" (remix version with Ariana Grande), compiling a 6 week run at #1 if you count the original version of the song that topped this chart earlier in the year.

It looks like Rina Sawayama's "Chosen Family", a duet with Elton John, is stalled at #2. Taylor Swift's "Mr. Perfectly Fine" is mired at #3 for another week, while Silk Sonic holds on to #4 again with their former #1 song "Leave the Door Open."

Katy Perry has the biggest mover with "Electricity" as that song leaps into the Top 10 at #10 from last week's #17 debut.
