Io's Weekly Top 50 - 12/23/2018

Mark Ronson & Miley Cyrus to spend Christmas at number one
Just one week after debuting at number three, the Mark Ronson & Miley Cyrus collaboration "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" is able to overtake last week's number one "Sweet but Psycho" by Ava Max. Max loses the top spot for the second time in three weeks, but could still return for a third non-consecutive week, as "Sweet but Psycho" manages to mostly keep up in performance, only slightly losing out to Ronson & Cyrus. Behind the pair, Grimes & HANA drop to #3 with a dip in performance, losing connection to the two top tracks as they keep extending their gap. "We Appreciate Power" hit the strongest debut of the year in the first week of December, but has been losing points every tracking week since then. Fellow #1 debut "Party For One" manages a slight rebound this week, as Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen overtakes Ariana Grande and her smash hit "thank u, next", which drops to #5. Halsey has a huge week for the second time in a row, as her current single "Without Me" rises from nine to six, earning itself a new peak. "come out and play" by Billie EIlish stays mostly stable, although it's dropping points for a second week in a row as it finishes at #7. Buzz single "imagine" by Ariana Grande stays even at #8, edging out another Eilish track in "when the party's over" , which falls to #9. Lana Del Rey closes out this weeks top 10 with former number one "Mariners Apartment Complex"

"bellyache" by Billie Eilish rises to #11 after spending the previous two weeks at #16 and could potentially enter the final top 10 of the year next week. "Santa Tell Me" by Ariana Grande is the biggest holiday song as the chart enters Christmas tracking week, and could possibly threaten top 10 next week. Berlin based producer Alle Farben's "Fading", which features ILIRA, rebounds to #18, overtaking three week #1 "breathin" which falls to #19. German newcomer MERO is this week's biggest gainer, as his single "Baller los" surges from #35 to #20.

This week's highest entry is "Perfekt" by RAF Camora ft. AriBeatz & Sofiane, which enters the charts at #23, ahead of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", which suffers a disastrous week and drops from #18 to #24. Capital Bra enters at #30 with "Benzema", edging out his previous lead single "Feuer" which falls to #33. Ava Max lands another song on the charts, as "Salt" debuts at #44.  German rappers Azet & Zuna's newest track "Lelele" enters at #46. Sandwiched between the two debuts is Dalton Harris' rendition of "The Power of Love" feat. James Arthur. Two former #1's in "Sober II (Melodrama)" and "Delicate" once again close out this week's top 50.
