Io's Weekly Top 100 - 02/10/2019

In a very busy week, Ariana Grande manages to stay on top for the fourth week in a row, as former #1 debut "7 rings" again barely fends off "bury a friend". Billie Eilish started the week out strong, and for a while it looked as though she would finally be able to claim her first #1. However, with the release of Grande's fifth studio album 'thank u, next', Ari was able to finish the week on a strong note, riding that momentum to once again edge out Eilish. "bury a friend" finishes its first full tracking week with a strong gain in point and could still become the 17 year old singers first number one in the weeks leading to the release of her first studio album. "Swan Song" rises one to finish at #3, landing Dua Lipa her next top three hit. Mark Ronson & Miley Cyrus collaboration "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" nets another solid week, climbing back up to #4. The highest of the 23 debuts this week goes to Ariana Grande's next single "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored" at #5. The standout song is a definite number one candidate in the coming weeks and could become the albums second #1. Ava Max shows some more longevity as "Sweet but Psycho" stays even at #6, edging out the debuting "Handmade Heaven" by MARINA. The artist formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds earns her first solo charting single since 2015 and is definitely someone to watch in the coming weeks. "WHEN I WAS OLDER" drops to #8 in its fifth week with a dip in performance. Grimes & HANA manage a slight rebound but nonetheless drop to #9 due to the two debuts. However "We Appreciate Power"  does stay in the top 10 for an eleventh consecutive week. Closing out the top 10, Eno & MERO debut their newest single "Ferrari", Eno's first and MERO's third appearance on the charts. Whether the pair continues the trend of German rap songs starting out strong before collapsing down the charts remains to be seen.

Calvin Harris & Rag'n'Bone Man have another great week, their single "Giant" now closing in on the top 10, going from #20 to #12. Similarly Bring Me The Horizon & Grimes continue making their way up the charts, as "nihilist blues" finishes right below at #13. "Are You Bored Yet?" by Wallows ft. Clairo is this weeks greatest gainer, climbing up all the way to #15 with a strong performance this week. 'thank u, next' standout tracks "bloodline" and "bad idea" debut at #17 and #26 respectively. Tove Lo reappears on the charts as "hey you got drugs?" makes its debut at #28 on the back of its emotional music video. Lizzo makes her first appearance on the charts at #48 with "Juice" but could be starting its ascent up the charts as soon as next week. Two more promising debuts in Maggie Rogers' "Light On" and Austrian singer-songwriter Mathea's "2x" debut back to back at #54 and #55. The Chainsmokers newest single, a collaboration with 5 Seconds of Summer, enters at #64. "Who Do You Love" could become another chart success for the two groups. Among more 'thank u, next' debuts, Rina Sawayama's "Flicker" enters the charts for the first time. Lauv & Troye Sivan's collab "i'm so tired" debuts at #94 but could also rise up the charts in a less busy week.
