Niall Horan and Maren Morris earn a 2nd week at #1, fending off the biggest release of the summer so far, "No Brainer," which debuts at #3. While "No Brainer" lived up to the hype after its premiere on Humarock beach with Josh and Emily, it failed to conquer the beast that Celina has created all on her own with Niall Horan. David Guetta gets his 2nd top five after "Dirty Sexy Money" with Charli XCX, Afrojack and French Montana while Anne-Marie gets her 3rd after "FRIENDS" with Marshmello and "2002". Sigrid gets a new peak as "Schedules" moves up 1 to #9.
Troye Sivan and Ariana Grande had a good week as "My My My!" re-entered the chart for a 19th week (6th most ever!) at #28 and "Dance to This" featuring Ariana debuted at #39 after previously appearing on the Bubbling Under. Ariana also had her new song, "God is a woman", debut at #40.
Because Josh was on vacation this week with nothing to do but sit on a beach and play music, the influence of this week's chart is heavily skewed to his tastes. This is only more pronounced with Celina and Emily playing the Braintree Top 40 playlist for the most part, aside from Celina's obsession with Niall Horan's Flicker. Emm!e failed to scrobble a thing after having her phone stolen in Belgium, nearly giving Josh a heart attack as he began planning a search party. Daina was in a 00s rap/hip-hop mood again as "Smack That" was her #1 song of the week. Unfortunately, no one else felt the same. Breagh and Brian were in a Simon & Garfunkel mood for their long trip to PEI this weekend, just barely missing the chart. She did get "Tomboy" by Princess Nokia to chart on the Bubbling Under at #5. Catie listened to a couple Kanye tracks, so no points there, and Sara missed a cut by 2 plays with Chelsea Wolfe, whom she played a lot this week.
Next week, we'll see the release of new Iggy Azalea, Ella Mai, Mura Masa, and Bazzi featuring Camila Cabello. Out of those, I suspect the Camila Cabello feature to be the most intriguing to Braintree as she is quite the chart darling. Could we see "No Brainer" or "Don't Leave Me Alone" finally topple Celina's stranglehold on the top spot with "Seeing Blind" or will Niall Horan & Maren Morris go for a 3rd week? We'll see how Josh returning to work will affect the charts next week on the Braintree Top 40!

1. Niall Horan - This Town
