CHART NOTES

Cannons hold at #1 for a second week with "Hurricane," a track from their album Fever Dream. Lady Gaga's former #1 hit "Hold My Hand" from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack album holds at #2 this week.

As stated at the top of this post Rina Sawayama released a new video to her current hit "This Hell, " which moves up this chart from #13 to #10.

One of my favorite new songs this week is "Catalonia" by Vance Joy making its debut at #19.

Our second debut song is more than 30 years old. The Netflix TV series Stranger Things which I have never watched is responsible for the revival of this great oldie from Kate Bush... "Running Up That Hill" makes a very late debut to this chart just like the revival of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" back in 2020. "Running Up That Hill" originally came out in 1985. Wow!

I am all for old songs making a chart comeback when new audiences discover them.

Mel's Current Top 20 | June 3, 2022

Lady Gaga Holds At #1 With 

Top Gun Maverick Ballad

I haven't done one of these in a while. There is a page with a weekly rolling chart, but for the record I just want to start resuming (again) the weekly chart posting. A lot of the older charts that I have posted are archived at the M4B Personal Chart site under my username macprohawaii. I have been posting personal charts off and on for quite a lot of years, first on paper and then later online. The old paper charts were long ago tossed, before the internet became a thing.

Here is the chart for this week.

TW	Song Title	Artist	LW
1	Hold My Hand	Lady Gaga	1
2	Enemy	Imagine Dragons x J.I.D.	3
3	Hurricane	Cannons	5
4	Bones	Imagine Dragons	2
5	Heat Waves	Glass Animals	6
6	About Damn Time	Lizzo	7
7	My Love	Florence + The Machine	8
8	As It Was	Harry Styles	4

14	X	Miss Li	9
15	This Hell	Rina Sawayama	17
16	Jiggle Jiggle	Duke & Jones & Louis Theroux	18
17	Strange	Miranda Lambert	19
18	Bloodrush	The Amazons	20
19	No One Dies From Love	Tove Lo	new
20	I Can't Get Enough	Cazzi Opeia	11

Since my last report, the #1 song has changed several times in the past few months. The current #1 song is from the Top Gun Maverick soundtrack. It has been #1 on this chart for three weeks in a row. That song s "Hold My Hand" from Lady Gaga.

The video for the song appears at the top of this posting.

The only debut song to the chart is "No One Dies From Love" by Tove Lo at #19. The video for that is below.

The new #1 ends The Weekend's reign of "Save Your Tears", which slips to #2. Coming in strong at #3 is Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U" which moves up 5 from #8 to #3 this week.

Ms. Rodrigo has three songs on this week's top 20. In addition to her #3 hit, we have "Deja Vu" holding on to #16, down from last week's #14. She also has a new song making its debut on the chart at #17. That is "Brutal." All tracks come from her new album Sour.

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.

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.
