Drag's Weekly Top 40 (New Year, More Positions!)

[Billy Uranus]

"We Can't Stop" just never dies, does it? It's more than just a summer jam, I guess. I LOVE seeing The Naked and Famous rising 8 spots! Totally makes up for Bonnie McKee dropping out so fast.

90s Throwback Song:



Chart Notes: Britney works a fifth week on top with "Work Bitch". Ciara continues to make her way near the top as she makes a swift 5-2 jump with "Overdose". We have three new entries this week and one reentry. The bigger mover of the week is actually a four way tie between Ciara's "Overdoese", The Band Perry's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely", Sara Bareilles' "Brave" and Demi Lovato's "Neon Lights", all of which move up 3 spots. Our big dropper of the week is a 2 way tie between Slylar Grey's "Back From the Dead (feat. Big Sean & Travis Barker)" and Naughty Boy's "La La La (feat. Sam Smith)" both of which fall 7 spots. TLC has their first solo hit on the chart (they already charted as a featured artist on "Crooked Smile") and they are the high entry of the week coming in at #9. The Saturdays make a huge entry as "What About Us" reenters at #16 mostly due to the buzz surrounding their new album. Our other new entries include Sara Bareilles' "I Choose You" at #22 and Zedd's "Stay the Night (feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)" at #26.

P.S I decided to discontinue the recurrent chart and incorporate a random 90s song each week instead.

[Billy Uranus]

It's too bad that "I Wish" is falling already. I'm just now getting more into it. Other than that, you've got a lot of quiet movers in the chart this week. I didn't realize The Band Perry was so high. I'm happy to see "Hearts Like Ours" in the top 20!

Your '90s throwback is a song I didn't know about until you requested it. I really enjoy it, though.

90s Throwback Song:



Chart Notes: Lady GaGa decides what she wants as she manages to have her first #1 debut and second #1 on Drag's Weekly Top 30. It's a bittersweet week for Tamar Braxton as she debuts right behind GaGa at #2 with "Hot Sugar. Our final entry of the week is K. Michelle's latest single "Can't Raise A Man" at #19. The Band Perry get their second top 5 hit this week as "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" pushes itself up 7-5 in its 13th week on the chart. Our big gainer of the week goes to Sara Bareilles' "I Choose You" which makes a 22-17 leap. Our dropper of the week is Ariana Grande's "Right There" which tumbles 11-22.

[Billy Uranus]

So two straight #1s that debut there? Pretty cool, especially since it's from the two artists I associate with you the most. I'm very surprised by "Wrecking Ball" underachieving.

90s Throwback Song:



Chart Notes: Lady GaGa does what she wants as she claims a second week on top with her latest single "Do What U Want (feat. R Kelly). Iggy Azalea's life is changed yet again as she earns her third top 5 hit (Work [#3], Bounce [#4]) with an 11-4 climb in her seventh week on the chart with "Change Your Life (feat. T.I.)". We have two massive droppers this week as The Band Perry plummet out of the top 10 with a 5-12 fall and Lana Del Rey drops 10-17 with "Young & Beautiful (Cedric Gervais Radio Edit)". We have 3 new debuts this week including the latest single from The Fray "Love Don't Die" as the highest entry of the week at #18. Our other new entries include Bonnie McKee's betwingle "Sleepwalker" at #23 and Avril Lavigne's latest single "Let Me Go (feat. Chad Kroeger)" at #26.

[Billy Uranus]

Pretty good rebound week for Miley Cyrus...one song into the top 5 and another one close to the top 10. It's too bad that The Naked And Famous are falling so soon, but at least Avril/Chad are making their debut.

90s Throwback Song:


Chart Notes: Do What U Want she says? Lady GaGa definitely knows what she wants as she spend a third consecutive week on top with "Do What U Want (feat. R Kelly)". Iggy Azalea now has a new highest peaking single as "Change Your Life (feat. T.I.)" moves 4-2 in its 8th week on the chart. Sara Bareilles obtains her third top 10 on the chart as "I Choose You" makes a 13-9 jump. Ellie Goulding is ready to burn the charts yet again as she rebounds back in the top (15-10) with her hot single "Burn". The greatest jumper of the week is the latest single from Avril Lavigne "Let Me Go (feat. Chad Kroeger)" which makes a 26-19 jump in its second week. Our dropper of the week is The Band Perry as "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" tumbles (12-21). We have three new entries this week including a personal favorite album track from Demi Lovato (Fire Starter) at #17, a shocking entry from Katy Perry with "Dark Horse (feat. Juicy J") at #26 an aromatic entry from pop princess Britney Spears with her latest fragrance single "Perfume" at #27.

Chart Notes: Lady GaGa continues to dominate as "Do What U Want (feat. R. Kelly)" remains at the penthouse for a fourth consecutive week and "Applause" rebullets back into the top 5. Mariah Carey lets go of her chance at #1 as she narrowly misses it this week at #2. Jessie Ware also makes a splash with her single "Imagine It Was Us" at #3. Our greatest gainer of the week is Britney Spears' latest single "Perfume" which makes a 27-22 rise. The dropper of the week is Tamar Braxton's "Hot Sugar" as it tumbles 12-20 in its fourth week on the chart. We have two other new entries including Big Sean's "Beware (feat. Lil Wayne & Jhene Aiko)" at #27 and Kacey Musgraves' latest offering "Follow Your Arrow" at #28.

[Billy Uranus]

You have a strong #1 that is growing on me very quickly. I think this is the most Hot AC leaning your chart has been so far, with the likes of The Fray. Not a fan of the Big Sean debut, though.

90s Throwback Song:


Chart Notes: Mariah lets go of her missed chances at the pole position as she claims her first #1 with "The Art of Letting Go" (Almost Home peaked at #2 and while #Beatiful managed a #3 peak). Lady GaGa is displaced from the top after four consecutive weeks on top. We have one of the biggest upward movements in the history of my chart this week as Kacey Musgraves dashes 28-7 with "Follow Your Arrow" which easily outpeaks her last hit "Blowin' Smoke" which made it to #10. Our dropper of the week is Iggy Azalea's "Change Your Life (feat. T.I.) which drops 9-17. We have 3 new entries including Sia's "Elastic Heart (feat. The Weeknd & Diplo) at #25, Hedley with Anything at #26 and Cassadee Pope with "Wasting All These Tears" at #28.

[Billy Uranus]

Interesting to see Mariah hitting #1 again...I can't help but wonder what he chart history had looked like if you started your chart on the week after you were born. It's nice to see "Work Bitch" hanging around in the top 5, as I'm a little late on that party. "We Can't Stop" still in the top 10 is beyond impressive.


I never liked that 702 song, but it is right up your alley.

90s Throwback Song:


Chart Notes: "Do What U Want" stays on top for a sixth week while Kacey Musgraves continues her country record as she moves 3-2 with "Follow Your Arrow". The big mover of the week is Katy Perry with her upcoming radio single "Dark Horse (feat. Juicy J) which dashes 19-11 in its fifth week on the chart. The dropper of the week is Demi Lovato with "Firestarter" which makes a 13-20 decline. Miley Cyrus also pulls an incredible feat as she has stayed within the top 10 for over 6 months [her entire run] (27 weeks) with her 8 week chart topper "We Can't Stop". We have 2 new entries this week including Colbie Caillat's latest single "Hold On" at #27 and The Saturdays with "Wildfire at #30.

[Billy Uranus]

It's great to see "Do What U Want" dominating the way it should be. "Perfume" looks like it's already peaking, which doesn't surprise me.

I'm happy to see Big Sean falling off.

90s Throwback Song:


Chart Notes: "Do What U Want" continues its chart domination as it spends a seventh non-consecutive week on top. Kacey Musgraves stays put in the runner up spot; meanwhile, One Direction happily continue their climb as they inch their way closer to the top with a 4-3 move this week. The unexpected happens this week as "Dark Horse" leaps 11-7 and becomes Katy's first and most likely last top 10 on my chart. The big mover of the week is Colbie Caillat's "Hold On" which makes a noticeable 27-19 leap. Our dropper of the week goes to Jessie Ware as she plummets 16-25 with "Imagine It Was Us". We have two new entries including Calvin Harris with "Thinking About You (feat. Ayah Marar)" at #28 and Olly Murs with "Hand on Heart" at #30.

[Billy Uranus]

A lucky 7th week on top for GaGa? I'm all for it. I'm not a big fan of anything else in the top 10 other than "Work Bitch" which is moving down.

And I see that "Story Of My Life" is slowly crawling into your good graces.

90s Throwback Song:


Chart Notes: "Do What U Want" ties Miley Cyrus' record for most weeks on top as it spends an 8th non-consecutive week on top. Speaking of Miley, "We Can't Stop" continues to extend its longest consecutive top 10 record, as it has spent its 29th consecutive week in the top 10 since it first debuted at #1. Colbie Caillat continues her greatest gainer streak as "Hold On" storms the top 10 with a 19-6 climb. Our dropper of the week goes to Sia, her "Elastic Heart" tumbles 24-16. We have three new entries this week including a top 3 debut from the queen of surprises, Beyoncé with "Drunk in Love (feat. Jay Z)" at #3. Our other new entries include Fantasia with "Without Me (feat. Kelly Rowland & Missy Elliott)" at #29 and Scotty McCreery with "See You Tonight" at #30. The Bubbler has been popped and I'll reveal why on next week's chart.

[Billy Uranus]

Another week, another week at #1 for GaGa. I'm rooting for her to break Miley's record next week! I'm not surprised at all by the Beyonce debut and I'm thinking she could have the first #1 of 2014.

I'm glad to see Cassadee Pope on the rise. Hopefully she will be top 10 soon enough.

90s Throwback Song:


Chart Notes: "Do What U Want" is #1 for an 11th week; holding off "Drunk In Love" for a third week, can Gaga continue her dominance? Speaking of the Queen Bey, she has a second top 5 this week as "XO" glides 6-5 in its third week on board. The greatest gainer of the week goes to my boys One Direction as they storm the top 20 with a 22-12 vault. We have 2 huge droppers this week as both The Fray and Avril Lavigne fall 10 spots with "Love Don't Die" gliding downwards 19-29 and "Let Me Go" making a 27-37 fall. We have two new debuts this week including CHVRCHES with "The Mother We Share" at #31 and Lea Michele with Cannonball at #32.

[Billy Uranus]

11 weeks at #1? That's impressive! And it's interesting to see "The Mother We Share" making a debut. I certainly wouldn't expect that.

I'm happy to see "Work Bitch" outlast "Perfume," which has undoubtedly under-performed as a Britney song on your chart.

90s Throwback Song:


Chart Notes: "Do What U Want" is #1 for a 12th and most likely final week; holding off "Drunk In Love" for a fourth week in a row. Cassadee Pope gets her first top 5 hit as "Wasting All These Tears" moves up 7-5 in its 9th week on the chart. Miley Cyrus has finally stops her top 10 record as "We Can't Stop" drops 8-12 in its 33rd week after logging in 32 consecutive weeks in the top 10. Sara Bareilles' "Brave" is also the first song to ever reach 40 weeks on the chart. The greatest gainer of the week comes from CHVRCHES as "The Mother We Share" vaults 31-19. The dropper of the week goes to Colbie Caillat as "Hold On" plummets 16-29. We have 4 new entries this week including our highest entry from Neon Trees with "Sleeping With A Friend" at #23, Sevyn Streeter with "It Won't Stop" at #24, Britney Spears with an album cut "Til It's Gone" at #33 and Lorde with her new track No Better at #35".

[Billy Uranus]

I'm not a big fan of the top 10 as a whole, so it's good to see GaGa's domination continuing. And is it just me, or is this chart more country than ever?


I LOVE your '90s throwback song. It's my favorite Green Day song and among my favorite songs of all-time. You couldn't have made a better choice!
