Braintree Top 40

After a drop to #2 last week, "Hold On" bounces back for a 2nd week at #1 following the release of its paren album, Justice.    In fact, Justin Bieber ends up occupying six of the top ten including the top two as "Peaches" earns Hot Shot Debut.  This is the first top five for both Daniel Caesar & Giveon.  With these additional 5 top tens, Justin Bieber now has the 5th most of all-time and most for a male artist.  He also gives Khalid a 10th top ten with his feature on "As I Am", which debuts at #7.  Spice Girls make a surprise re-entry to earn their first top ten as "Wannabe" sees a re-surgence from the Music League's 90s theme.

The Music League has make quite an impact this week as both this week's 90s theme and last week's Walk-Out theme make their presence known.  We also have Tanya's Aries 90s yoga playlist getting spins as she gives Paula Abdul two debuts and Janet Jackson yet another chart entry.  Aside from Justin Bieber, both Lana Del Rey and Benny the Butcher also had strong weeks for their new albums, thanks to Mike Maguire and Brian.

Next week looks to be a quiet one as we see new releases from Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, 24kGoldn, and Lil Nas X.  We also have the Song Not in the English Language theme that could spice up the chart.  Can Justin Bieber "Hold On" for another week or will "drivers license" return to the top for a 4th week?  Maybe "Peaches" can earn a week at #1, giving Bieber a 5th and only the 3rd time an album spawned 3 or more #1s.  The other two?  Taylor Swift's Lover ("ME!", "You Need to Calm Down", "Lover") and Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia ("Don't Start Now", "Physical", "Break My Heart", "Levitating").  Find out next week on the Braintree Top 40!
