jono_fx Weekly Top 40 - 30/06/23

Thirty Seconds to Mars have finally done it and made it to #1 after a 4-week long journey to the top! The Knocks find their track "I Promise" dropping off the top down to #3, with Purple Disco Machine & Kungs' "Substitution" leapfrogging it to get #2. The rest of the top 10 keep close to where they were last week with Jungle's "Candle Flame" being the only exception as it drops from #10 to #13. Following on from its debut last week, "Eat Your Young" from Hozier marks this week's highest climber moving up just 2 places to get to #12, getting the better of the aforementioned "Candle Flame" as well as Becky Hill's "Side Effects" which looks to have passed its (rather underwhelming) peak. This week's only new entry comes from MUNA, with the track "One That Got Away". An impressive entry as it comes all the way in at #7. I've known of MUNA ever since they teamed up with The Knocks for "Bodies" back in 2020 so it was nice to see their name pop up when I was shazaming this song from the radio. It's got that 80's vibe that I love as well as some clever lyrics by flipping the switch and being a song about self-love and you being the one that got away for someone else as opposed to the cliché of songs with this the other way around. This week's biggest faller is FLO's team-up with Missy Elliot, "Fly Girl". The track goes from #37 to below #40, meaning it drops out of the chart completely after a 13 week stay. This also marks the first chart without a FLO song as "Cardboard Box" was in every chart before "Fly Girl" (with a little cross-over).

Next Week:

Tom Grennan's new album is out so all new songs could potentially enter and maybe a boost for "How Does It Feel". Chromeo have a new song out and so do Jungle. Plenty to be excited about then!
