Braintree Top 40

After being stuck at #2 for 2 weeks, "Peaches" has finally made it to the top, giving Justin Bieber his 5th #1 and 3rd from Justice.  This is only the 3rd time an album has produced 3 or more #1s, the first being Lover followed by Future Nostalgia, which actually managed 4.  This is also Bieber's 3rd #1 of 2021 already and we're not even halfway yet.  Not only that, but he is now only the 2nd person to replace themselves at #1 after Kesha did so in 2017 with "Good Old Days" with Macklemore and "Praying".  Yes, everyone, I am eating crow for saying Justice would flop.

Elsewhere in the top ten, Lil Nas X earns his 2nd top five following his #1 smash, "Old Town Road", with "MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)" moving to #3. Brian gives Young Dolph & Key Glock their first top five as "What u see is what u get" is our Hot Shot Debut at #4 while Alexandra gives Teleman their first top five with "Song for a Seagull" at #5.  The most surprising debut is Years & Years at #6 since "Starstruck" had less than 12 hours of availability in order to chart.  Keep that on your radar for an upcoming #1 as it kicks off Summer 2021.  Finally, we have Demi Lovato & Ariana Grande debuting at #10 with "Met Him Last Night", thanks to Kristen.  This is the big single off her new album, Dancing with the Devil...The Art of Starting Over.

The Music League continues to dominate as Song You Don't Want to Hear at the Gyno impacts the chart, led by Captain & Tennille's "Do That to Me One More Time" at #11.  We also have previous rounds still charting as "The Sign" falls 6 to #37 and "Vivo per lei" holds steady at #72.  As the weeks go by, we should be seeing more and more influence from the Music League as its popularity grows.

Now, I must address the devil in the room.  They are only allowed to chart due to their association with the Music League.  Any other plays will considered against the rules.  Someone, who shall remain nameless, also got an abuser on the chart this week *side eye*.

Next week looks like an exciting one as Lil Nas X battles Justin Bieber for the top spot.  We also have spoilers in Years & Years and Olivia Rodrigo as well as new singles from Twenty One Pilot, Nathan Dawe, and Rag'n'Bone Man & P!nk.  We also have the release of Fearless (Taylor's Version) that could get a few entries, thanks to resident Swiftie, Kristen.  Find out next week on the Braintree Top 40!
