The BILLCS Top 30 is a bit late owing to my travels in Australia, which puts me 16 hours behind my regular time. I only have commentary for this edition about the new additions to the chart.
Leading the four is “Cry For Me” by The Weeknd at #25, from the album that closes off his trilogy, Hurry Up Tomorrow. It’s The Weeknd’s 11th chart entry and first since 2022.
Next at #26 is what is shaping up to be a major pop/dance smash, “Tell Me” by Sonny Fodera with vocalist Clementine Douglas. Sonny of course has a second appearance at #1 with “Somedays” with Jazzy and D.O.D. But “Tell Me” is his second entry with Clementine – their first was 2021’s “Angel” which got to #4.
The third new entry at #27 is the good-natured fun of “Good Dogs” by L.A. alternative rock duo Magic Bronson from the album of the same name. Don’t sleep on this one folks! I think this would appeal to fans of Foster The People, Saint Motel and Weezer.
Rounding out the new ones at #30 is “In My Head”, a new collaboration by Gryffin and Kaskade with vocals by Nu La. It’s Gryffin’s follow up to last year’s “Last Of Us” with Rita Ora, which got to #3. It’s Kaskade’s first appearance on the chart since his project with Deadmau5, Kx5, got to #8 with Sofi Tukker on “Sacrifice”.
