CHART NOTES: Only one song makes a debut on the Top 20 this week. "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd makes its debut at #18. I am not a big fan of this artist. That can be attested to the fact that his big hit from last year "Blinding Lights" did not even make my chart. Ha! Still this latest one has grown on me. We'll see how high it goes.

Paul McCartney holds at #1 for the 3rd week in a row with "Find My Way", holding Taylor Swift back at #2 for another week with her hit "No Body, No Crime". Gwen Stefani moves up one point from #4 to #3 with "Let Me Reintroduce Myself".

Olivia Rodrigo must be the hottest new artist around these days. I was introduced to her hit single "Drivers License" a few weeks back by a friend's Facebook post. The song made its debut on this chart a few weeks back at #20, moved to #17 last week and now bolts up 7 to #10 this week. It already is #1 on a number of charts including the Billboard Hot 100.

Australia's Fanny Lumsden is a country artist that has been on this chart for several weeks now. It looked like her hit "Dig" was going to slip more this week... but no. It moved up a point from #9 to #8. It was #1 on my weekly Country 5 + 5 chart.

CHART NOTES

Paul McCartney top sthe chart this week with "Find My Way." It's the first single off his new album McCartney III. He is the first of two former Beatles on the chart. Ringo Starr moves up from #14 to #12 with "Here's To the Nights." It's a star studded single featuring former bandmate Paul as well as other familiar faces.

At #2 is a holder on from last year. "Tick Tock" by Clean Bandit featuring 24kGoldn & Mabel moves up one spot from #3 to #2. It was at #2 in December 2020, and made it to the Top 100 Songs of the Year at position #30. I just love the song and the video is cool.

Country star Blake Shelton debuts at #19 with "Minimum Wage." Newcomer to the charts, Olivia Rodrigo makes her debut with "Driver's License" coming in at #20. Olivia has gotten a lot of "buzz" lately. She may be the breakout artist of 2021.

Best new video is "Realize" by AC/DC. A great rock anthem now has a great cutting edge, high contrast band performance video in black and white. Very nice. The song is at #13 up from #16 last week.

CHART NOTES: Taylor Swift holds at #1 for the third consecutive week with her hit "Willow". The track taken from the Evermore album is one of two songs on the chart from it this week. The other is "No Body, No Crime" which bolts from last week's debut of #18 to #8 this week. The track also features the group HAIM.

Paul McCartney moves up three points to claim the #2 position with "Find My Way", the debut single off the album McCartney III.

 

Pale Waves seem to be riding high as "Change" from their upcoming album Who Am I? It's a good pop alt rock song that moves from #14 to #9.

Three songs make their chart debut. Harry Styles' latest "Treat People With Kindness" checks in at #18, Justin Bieber is at #19 with "Anyone" and the Foo Fighters are at #20 with "No Son of Mine".

I have high hopes that the new, upcoming Foo Fighters album Medicine at Midnight will be a great pop-rock masterpiece. Three songs have been released in advance of the album's debut.

Mel's Current Top 20 - Week of January 10, 2021.

Starting this week, I will be posting the Current Top 20 chart to this blog every weekend. The charts are published to the Current Top 20 chart pages usually on Thursday evenings. This is the tabled version of the chart.

NOTES: Taylor Swift holds the #1 spot for a 2nd consecutive week with "Willow". It was the first single released from her second album release of 2020, Evermore. New on the chart at #18 is "No Body No Crime" by Taylor Swift from the same album.

Taylor Swift is not the only artist with two songs on the chart. AC/DC have two songs with "Shot in the Dark" still in the top 10, but moving downward from #6 to #9 after it peaked at #1 a few weeks back. New for AC/DC is "Realize" making its debut on the chart at #20. Both songs are from their current album Power Up.

Two Beatles: Paul McCartney's latest single "Find My Way" moves from #10 to #5 on the chart in its third week. The song is from his McCartney III album which came out on December 17, 2020. Ringo Starr has a new song that debuts at #19 this week. "Here's to the Nights" features Ringo and a bunch of his friends singing various parts on the new single. Check it out.

Lady Gaga Knocking on the Door of #1

THE CURRENT TOP 20

It looks like Lady Gaga with her accomplice Ariana Grandé is on the verge of claiming the #1 spot from The Rolling Stones. The duo's top hit "Rain on Me" moves up this week from #3 to #2 this week. Will it make it to #1 next week? We'll see.

Not too far away from the top position we find Benee at #5 moving up 7 points from #12 last week with the bubbly track "Supalonely". One point behind her is Saint Motel, who roars up the chart from last week's #19 debut to #6 this week with "A Good Song Never Dies". This is a good song, but will it ever die? We don't know.

The Rolling Stones meanwhile hold on to #1 for the 8th week with "Living in a Ghost Town", one of the best rock songs released in the last year or so. Rock music is a rarity on the charts these days.

Here now is the latest Current Top 20 list:
