ajmkv's Top 75, Week 686 (2021, Week 17)

April is coming to an end, and with that end comes a new #1 on the ajmkv charts, are you ready for it?

Brave Girls's "Rollin'" relinquishes its hold on the #1 spot and falls three spots to #4, even while getting support from its new 2021 version. But who took over its spot? Well, Milan and Lennis Rodriguez did with "Typical", which becomes each singer's first ever #1 song. The summer bop climbs one spot this week, and veeeeery narrowly beats out the competition. At #2, Oana Radu has to content herself with the runner-up spot yet again, as "Nu Te Pot Uita (Excusez-moi)" reaches a new peak but just misses out on the top spot; Oana's last #1 ("Fara Glas") was over five years ago so a new one would be nice, even though all her singles since then have reached the Top 10. At #3, there is a debut: fresh-faced K-Pop group Majors slams straight into the Top 3 with "Dancing In The Starlit Night", which would have been #1 but lost its grip on the final day of plays. This second-gen-like K-Pop smash is their first song on my charts and I anticipate it having a stellar run. At #5, Dony, Otilia, and Erika Isac's "Peaches And Cream" reaches a new peak. Lower down, there are some falls from major Romanian singles: Nicoleta Nuca's "Fata Din Oglinda" (falls three spots to #6), Alexandra Ungureanu's "Daca N-am Fi Impreuna" (two spots to #8), and André's "Nostalgii" (five spots to #9). There are a couple re-peaks, as well: Amna and Liviu Teodorescu's "Sper S-o Iubesti" climbs back into the Top 10 and re-peaks at #7, and Iuliana Beregoi's "Ne Iubim" becomes her latest Top 10 song, this week reaching #10.

There are a ton of songs making their debut this week. To be brief: STAYC's smooth b-side "Love Fool" premieres at #11; Juno and Jo's sultry "Ma Mai Ia" enters at #25; Purple Kiss's melancholy "Period" debuts at #27; DJ Sava and Soré's "I'm Gonna Miss You" adds two remixes to its roster at #29; BoA's lush "L.O.V.E" finally enters the chart at #37; Corina's sassy and frankly hilarious "Gimme Your Love" makes its late debut at #38; Brave Girls's "High Heels" has a new 2021 version and it premieres at #44 alongside a re-enter of the original which had last peaked at #1 in 2016; and Ayla D'lyla and Miss Madeline's shimmery "Life Could Be Sweet" slides in at #45. Only song outside the Top 10 re-peaks this week, and it's woo!ah!'s "Bad Girl", which re-enters and re-peaks at #26.

Three songs reach important milestones this week. The first is Melanie C's "Into You", which reaches the 10-week mark. The second is Irina Rimes and Cris Cab's "Your Love", which reaches the 26-week, or half-year, mark. Finally, the third is Anda Adam and Shift's "Tocurile", which reaches the coveted 30-week mark and joins a small group of songs to have had such a lengthy chart run. Congrats to all of these!

Over on the albums chart, there (finally) is a new album at #1. It is Inna's "Heartbreaker", which becomes her fourth #1 album. Last week's #1, Paty Cantú's "La Mexicana", falls to #3, and Lana Del Rey's "Chemtrails Over The Country Club" remains at #2. woo!ah!'s "Qurious" climbs to a new peak of #7, Major's "The Beginning Of Legend" debuts at #12, and Cosmic Girls's "Unnatural" climbs to #13.
