Alec Benjamin's "Let Me Down Slowly" rises 2-1 to dethrone eight week leader "Update". Also, Ryan Higa debuts at #4.
In the Top 50, Alec Benjamin rises to #1 after debuting just two weeks ago, at #21. The boyish singer's breakthrough "Let Me Down Slowly" takes down MAG!C☆PRINCE's "Update". The eight week #1 falls 1-2, but it's had impressive longevity, having 25 weeks on the chart. And they might not be out of the conversation, as their other track "Sakura My Friends", rises back to its peak of #3.
Japanese-American YouTuber Ryan Higa, along with producer David Choi, debuts at #4 with his diss track parody, "Exposed", which heavily borrows from Eminem's "The Ringer", while MAG!C☆PRINCE's "Yume no Melody" holds at #5.
Chris Brown continues to rise with "Undecided", as it rises 8-6 for a new peak. The debut from last week "Face My Fears" by Utada Hikaru & Skrillex, holds on to #7, Adam Sandler's "Phone Wallet Keys" falls 6-8, Drake Bell's six week #1 "Fuego Lento" falls 3-9, and CHANMINA's "Pain is Beauty" rises 19-10, giving the Japanese rapper her first Top 10 entry.
Further down the chart, Alec Benjamin continues his success, as his cover of Eminem's "Stan", for the Spotify Singles series, debuts at #19, and Hunter Hayes' "Heartbreak" debuts in the Top 30.
The J-pop idol group continue at #1 for an 8th week with their massive hit "Update", while Alec Benjamin comes to challenge, as he rises 19-2. Also, Utada Hikaru and Skrillex debut.
"Update" sits at #1 for an 8th week of my personal Top 50. It also enters the Top 10 on the all-time chart. But it seems its time is just about up, as Alec Benjamin roars 21-2 with breakthrough song "Let Me Down Slowly". Drake Bell's six week leader "Fuego Lento" rises 6-3 off the back of its (borderline pornographic) music video. We also see MAG!C☆PRINCE in the rest of the Top 5, as "Sakura My Friends" falls 3-4 and "Yume no Melody" appears to be beginning its downward trajectory as it loses 2-5.
Adam Sandler's "Phone Wallet Keys" falls 4-6. "Face My Fears" (off the EP of the same name), the collaboration between dubstep artist Skrillex and J-pop legend Utada Hikaru debuts at #7, giving Skrillex his first Top 10 and Utada her second, following "Chikai", which rises 19-12 this week off the EP as well. Chris Brown's lead single off of his upcoming album 'Indigo', rises 9-8, and Thomas Rhett's "Sixteen" falls 7-10, while Drake Bell's "I Found a Way", which rises 16-9, is in the Top 10 for the first time since 2017, as it fell 6-9 on the chart dated February 15, 2017.
Debuts go to Body Count and Ava Max. Next week, Ryan Higa is set to debut in the Top 10, while Alec Benjamin takes the #1.
Chart will be published on Friday 25 January 2019.
The rock legend earns his first #1 on the chart with "KILL4ME", as it moves 2-1. Also, Chika Arimura and Little Big enters the Top 10.
As Marilyn Manson earns his first #1, he is the first metal/rock act to top the chart. He also moves in the Top 5 with another song, "We Know Where You Fucking Live", as it rises 9-4. While not posted, Manson boasts #1 and #3 on the Rock Songs chart. His new #1 dethrones five-week leader, "Marry Me" by Thomas Rhett, as it falls 1-2. Recently announced as 'Life Changes' third single however, it does have a chance to rebound. It also holds for a seventh week on the Country Songs chart. "hold on" by flor rises 5-3. And rounding out the Top 5 is MAX's "Lights Down Low", which rebounds 8-5, partly due to a stripped down version released. With Taylor Swift's exit (which will be told further down), the Top 5 is entirely composed of men.
Olivia Holt's "Generous" holds on to #6, with a loss in performance after the gain from the Top 20 last week, as does Poppy's "Software Upgrade", which falls 4-7. Our first new Top 10 entry comes from Japanese cosplayer/pornographic actress, Chika Arimura. "I Live My Life For You", picks up, going 14-8. Also, Russian group Little Big rises 32-9 with "Fucking Asshole". And rounding out the Top 10, is "I'm Poppy" by Poppy, which loses 7-10.
Below the Top 10, we get MAX's new single "Meteor", which debuts at #12. The Christmas song from Lindsey Stirling, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" featuring Sabrina Carpenter, climbs 44-21. We also continue the losses for Taylor Swift, as her songs fall even faster than initially predicted. "Look What You Made Me Do" falls out of the Top 20, falling to #25. And "...Ready For It?" collapses almost falls out of the chart entirely, plummeting 3-49. Parent album 'reputation' tracks for next week though, so they might recover. Speaking of that album, 'reputation' tracks "Getaway Car" and "New Year's Day", debuts at #1 and #2 on the Bubbling Under chart, respectively.

kirstin's 'L O V E' EP appears to be dominating next week.
kirstin appears to be one of the only artists I care about a whole lot releasing an album, her album blitz is coming. If the predictions are correct, "Break a Little" will break "Run Away"'s record for most weeks at #1. Due to this, songs are expected to crash hard next week despite gains in overall performance.
What it's looking like currently:
1. Break a Little (=) - 6500 (+500)
2. Naked (debut) - 5500
3. Bad Weather (debut) - 5400
4. Something Real (debut) - 5300
5. See It (debut) - 5200
6. All Night (+8) - 5000 (+2500)
7. Rewind (-5) - 4950 (-1025)
8. Leaves (-5) - 4800 (-1150)
9. Glorious (-4) - 4800 (-400)
10. Bad 4 Us (-4) - 4700 (-300)
"Break a Little" rebounds 2-1, and Drake Bell debuts in the Top 5 with 'Honest' EP.
Yes, kirstin (who just looks gorgeous in the picture I decided to use, by the way) once again returned to #1 with "Break a Little". By returning, it makes its seventh week at #1, tying with the current record holder, Drake Bell, with his song "Run Away" (which returns at #20). Speaking of Drake Bell, he debuts all of his album tracks in the Top 5. "Rewind" debuts at #2, being only 25 points away from kirstin (the latter song was bought on Thursday, which just gave it the edge). "Leaves" and "Honest" debut at #3 and #4 respectively.
A new entry to the Top 5 is the new single from Macklemore, "Glorious", which features Skylar Grey, gains 9-5. Last week's #1 "Bad 4 Us" by Superfruit, crashes 1-6, and their album track "Imaginary Parties" loses 3-7. Liam Payne and Quavo continue their ascent in the Top 10, as "Strip That Down" goes 10-8, for a new peak. The final two songs re-enter the Top 10 - "Coming In Hot" comes back at #9 and "Slow Hands" comes back to close the Top 10.
As previously mentioned, "Run Away" by Drake Bell returns at #20. Other songs with big gains both make entries into the Top 20, as "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" by Shawn Mendes makes an unexpected gain of 30-11, and "Unpredictable" by Olly Murs and Louisa Johnson shoots up 29-19.
Big songs expected next week from: Echosmith, Selena Gomez, and a gain from Bruno Mars. kirstin is expected to do well next week, so stay tuned for that.
