BBT Daily Charts Top 20 - March 4th 2017

Lorde's "Green Light" continues to dominate in its 2nd day in spite of a close challenge from former #1 "Something Just Like This". Read further for details!

Green Light holds its #1 debut for a 2nd day. This song marked Lorde's first arrival to the spot. Previously, "Team" and "Royals" both peaked at #2, in January 2014 and September 2013 respectively. She also appeared on Disclosure's Magnets, which peaked at #3 in October 2015. This marks her first solo single in over 3 years, and her first appearance overall in over a year.

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay's "Something Just Like This" rebounds 3-2 after having fallen off it's 2 day #1 debut, regaining a lot of the points it had lost the day before. It could possibly challenge "Green Light" for the #1 in the coming days. SJLT marked The Chainsmokers' 3rd #1 hit: their previous hits were "Roses" which held the spot for 3 days, and "Closer" which held #1 for a single chart frame. It also marked Coldplay's 5th #1 hit, their previous ones having been the mega smash "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" which held the spot for 6 days between August and September 2016, "Speed of Sound" which held for 3 days, "Hymn for the Weekend" which held for 3 days, and "A Head Full of Dreams" which held for 1 day.

Brian H. Kim and Patrick Stump's spoilerific "The Ballad of Star Butterfly" rebounds 4-3. This marks Star VS The Forces of Evil's 2nd venture into the charts, but its first in the Top 5; the theme song "I'm From Another Dimension" by Brad Breeck had a brief chart run in the bottom half of the charts back in October 2015. "You Are Dead" by Kent Carmical, Joe and Maura Sparks falls 2-4 off its peak yesterday, but continues to hold a decent showing. twenty-one pilots' "Migraine" holds its #5 peak as its predecessor single "Car Radio" fell off the charts today. This marks their 5th single, and the 4th to hit the Top 5. The only single which failed to hit that area was "Fairly Local", which only peaked at #7.

In the rest of the Top 10, "Meant To Be" by Two Steps From Hell holds #6, "Amber" by 311 rebounds massively 19-7, "A New Way To Bleed" by Evanescence holds #8, "La complainte de la butte" by Zaz holds #9, "We Will Rock You (Fast)" by Queen falls 7-10.

Outside the Top 10, "Remembrance" by Two Steps From Hell rebounds 16-12, "Dancin' In Circles" by Lady Gaga bounces back slightly 15-13, and Two Steps From Hell make a new debut with "Forever In My Dreams" at #16. This marks the act's 5th single to hit the charts in over a month. Looking at the performance of 2SFH this past month, 3 singles hit the Top 2: Remembrance hit #1, Frozen Moment hit #2, and Meant to Be (recharting after a dismal run back in 2015) hit #2. Only one single really flopped so far: "Sweet May" which went no further than #13 when the group mass-debuted 3 songs in a single day. The group also had a myriad of minor hits over the years: In 2014 "Jump" hit their highest peak at the time, #4, "Lux Aeterna" peaked at #8 back in December 2014 and briefly recharted in 2016, "Decimator" and "Day Becomes Night" were brief flashes in October and January 2016 respectively. The group's meteoric rise to popularity in the span of a month after years of disappointing performance is nothing short of inspiring! Sources say that "Lux Aeterna" might be re-released sometime this month in hopes of giving the song a new peak!
