2019 - Week of February 17

Hi everyone, its Grande Love. Be sure to follow for the best hits by female artists!

Some rules: Songs go on recurring after 20 weeks if they fall below #25 the week after they hit 20 weeks. Songs that have over 20 weeks and fall below #30 are also gone on recurring. Songs with over 20 weeks that fall out don't return unless there is significant gain. These are very loosely based off the US Billboard, Aria and UK charts and are just for fun.

The weeks top hits with songs by female artists - with some mild influence from the US Billboard, Aria and UK charts.

Highlights:

• '7 rings' by Ariana Grande holds for a third week at Number 1, looking likely to hold strongly as the 'thank u, next' album bomb is set to approach next week.
• 'Don't Call Me Up' by Mabel enters the top five for the first time, becoming Mabel's first top five song.
• 'bury a friend' by Billie Eilish soars 18-8, which gives Billie Eilish her first top ten hit and her second top fifteen (lovely at No. 13, this week at No. 19).
• 'Dancing with a Stranger' by Sam Smith & Normani also enters the top ten for the first time, becoming Normani's second top ten hit. Her first, 'Love Lies' with Khalid, peaked at No. 2 and is currently still on the chart for a 51st week at No. 21.
• New entry from Kelsea Ballerini and a re-enry of 'Ocean Eyes' from Billie Eilish.

Dropouts at end

Next week, expect Ariana Grande's 'thank u, next' album to crash the chart apart, with a possiblility of an entire Ariana Grande top ten!

Dropouts:

• P!nk - A Million Dreams (#11, 10 weeks)
• Dua Lipa & BLACKPINK - Kiss and Make Up (#22, 12 weeks)
