It was no surprise to see Justin Bieber’s What Do You Mean make it to the top for the third time on the Weekend Top 20 countdown. With all the publicity and hoopla he’s been given on his comeback and the inevitable gossip still buzzing about his penis size, which he inadvertently flashed at paparazzi’s, how could he not have made it to Number 1 again?
But will he make his four-peat this week? We have yet to see how these Bora Bora vacation pics showing off his goods to the world, play out. Nothing amazes me though, about this Canadian pinup who was barely a teen when he debuted his first platinum single in 2009. Nonetheless, it’s high time that Biebs gives the lead to someone else.
After last week’s results, we know that Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams is out for the count as it dropped from Number 3 to Number 7. Quite a shock to see how the sweet American gal withdrew from the charts so swiftly! So now at Number 3 is Fifth Harmony’s I’m In Love With A Monster as it steadily goes down the charts.
Conquering that Number 2 spot, is Florence + The Machines with Ship To Wreck from their album How Big How Blue How Beautiful – nothing astonishing either, with their unique 80ish indie rock genre harking back to The Pretenders with a Heart, Pat Benetar and Fleetwood Mac flavor. I’m loving all the new music Florence Welch and her mob has been releasing and this one really deserves the alp!
Years & Years’ Shine (previously at Number 4) took a real dive and was replaced by Swedish singer Tove Lo’s Time Bomb which climbed up 2 spots from Number 6. This song, which is one of the only tracks she’s released without her usual profane lyrics, will reach the apogee soon – as in very soon! With its catchy electropop chorus, similar to Katy Perry’s wind-up to her 2010 hit Firework,expect this volcano to erupt!
Now, here’s a track we should keep an eye on: Ex’s & Oh’s by Elle King which soared up to Number 5 from Number 9, seems to be making waves in the islands. Its distinct blend of alternative rock, blues and country rock all in one upbeat track is indeed very peculiar – expect this one to fly high!
Your best mover on the chart – Disclosure featuring Sam Smith’s Omen now at Number 8, and your two biggest drops – One Direction’s Drag Me Down and Lawson’s Roads, both bouncing out of the countdown at Numbers 19 and 20 respectively.
