Braintree Top 40

First things first (I’m the realest), we have a new #1 in Braintree!  It was only a matter of time before Daina’s taste aligned with the rest of the contributors as she propels Camila Cabello’s “Havana” to the top spot after 9 weeks on the chart (and before her former group, Fifth Harmony!).

Dua Lipa becomes the queen of getting cockblocked as she stalls at #2 for the 2nd week in a row, this time with “New Rules.”  After the release of her new album, P!nk soars back into the top ten at a new peak of #3 with “Beautiful Trauma.”

We have two Irish debutants this week!  After being featured as the Grinkle Awards podcast this week, Sing Street debuts at #31 with “Drive It Like You Stole It.”  While it was snubbed by the Oscars last year, it certainly found success here in Braintree.  The other Irish debut belongs to Enya, who comes in at #32 with “Anywhere Is,” a beloved singer here in Braintree.

Emm!e got to see Halsey in concert this week and it shows as “Bad at Love” hops up 2 spots to #15.

Emily keeps Dua Lipa riding high while also pushing Post malone’s “rockstar” to a new peak of #17.  She also brings about a resurgence of Calvin Harris’s “Feels,” which re-enters the chart at #39 after falling off last month.

Unfortunately, Celina took a memo from Emm!e and decided not to listen to any music this week, presumably because she was “tired.”

The new Taylor Swift single, “Gorgeous,” premieres at midnight tonight.  Can it debut at #1 like “...Ready For It?” or will it get blocked at the last minute like “Jolene” did with “Look What You Made Me Do”?  We also have new singles coming out from Liam Payne, Maroon 5 & A$AP Rocky, RIta Ora, and Kygo.  There's also a new song by MIKA, which should excite Daina.  Time will tell who makes it onto the Braintree Top 40, but one things’; for sure: Camila Cabello better savor this #1 because she’s not going to have it for long!
