The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Ariana Grande climbs back up one spot to no.1 with “Twilight zone” achieving her 3^rd non consecutive week at no.1. Lana Del Rey holds the no.2 and 3 positions as “Henry, come on” slips to no.2 and “Bluebird” is the highest new entry at no.3. Meanwhile Ariana Grande achieves a 50^th week on the top 40 with “We can’t be friends”, the biggest single of 2024 and her album now gains a 5^th non consecutive week at no.1.

It has been 25 years since I can recall listening to music in my childhood and therefore as a 25^th anniversary this year, songs which reach 25 years old may enter my weekly top 40. On this week, 25 years ago, Ricky Martin ft Meja released “private emotions” which enters my chart this week at no.37. A blast from the past!
