8. Your Idol – Saja Boys (Up 1/NEW PEAK/7 weeks in chart)
7. Just In Case - Morgan Wallen (Down 2/20 weeks in chart)
6. Love Me Not – Ravyn Lenae (No change/19 weeks in chart)
5. Daisies – Justin Bieber (Down 1/4 weeks in chart)
4. What I Want – Morgan Wallen/Tate McRae (Down 1/12 weeks in chart)

NEW ENTRIES:
100. Now And At The Hour Of Our Death – $uicideboy$/BONES (4.1/10)
99. Somebody – Latto (7.8/10) [+0.3/10]
Previous listen:
Fun rap-radio music that follows Latto's earworm hits.
Added:
It's been a while since I've heard this, but I can sure tell you it's still something that summer radio should pick up on. It has that feel-good swing, and lyricism is, as usual, something that's made for vitality; the hook being repeated over and over in one part is definitely the rewarding part of the song. Very fun.
98. Country Song Came On - Luke Bryan (8/10)
The guitar plucks have a little more of that twang with the drums to make something that's very obviously inspired by country music traditions, but instead with a well-thought-out attempt at this, I wasn't expecting to like this, but it's so chill that I can't help but like it!
97. A Lot More Free – Max Mcnown (7.4/10)
The whistles and harmonica come in to ease you into the perspectives of heartbreak in a passionate way that feels like it was worked upon well.
95. 12 To 12 - Sombr (7.9/10)
I was not expecting to hear Sombr on a beat that sounds more like something Lizzo would be on. "12 to 12" has a funky, danceable sound that stays true to Sombr's vocal tone whilst balancing out new fields of music; he definitely didn't play it safe with this one, but he did that in an amazing way. Check it out!
91. Oh, What A Wretched Man I Am! - $uicideboy$ (5.7/10)
90. Count Your Blessings - $uicideboy$ (3.2/10)
88. So Far So Fake - Pierce The Veil (8.2/10)
Loving the rock tracks that have been hitting the charts recently, and we yet again have another delight with loud guitars that create a sound like emo music, apart from the fact that they build on the sound better, adding something more artistic with the vocals that sound as if they were live, yet they're so raw and can carry any deep emotion. This sounds a little like Linkin Park, and I'm all for that!
77. Lemonade - Forrest Frank/The Figs (3/10)
I'm beyond gobsmacked that this guy has lasted so long in the industry with music that sounds like a reject for the McDonald's playpark radio. And I get to him, it's all chill, and it's just repetitive Christian pop-rap that he thinks is spreading his religion well, but honestly, I think God could be honoured with something that doesn't sound like the Jonas Brothers but even more gone wrong. So lacking in any real material, an easy skip.
74. Don't Mind If I Do – Riley Green/Ella Langley (6.4/10)
Not too keen on Riley most of the time, and I tend to lean towards saying that Ella's boring, especially vocally. This doesn't change much; it's got the meaning with the emotional value rooted in the topic of sadness from someone leaving, but the two don't exactly push enough to put this image out there. It needs more heart to it; in other words, it needs to be better brought up.
62. Is It A Crime - Mariah The Scientist/Kali Uchis (8.2/10)
Kali has this smoothness to her voice that can glide along any song to provide a lighter feel, and that's exactly what she did with Mariah, adding onto the dreamy pop sound as a clever accompaniment.
54. Napoleon – $uicideboy$ (7.5/10)
Finally, a good new entry into this week's chart from them. The bounce was executed with a shine that reminds me a little of Tyler The Creator's "Don't Tap The Glass", with the lyricism of course being careless party rap, exactly what the song is going for. I think it's quite fun, definitely something that has its own trend factor.
3. The Subway – Chappell Roan (5.8/10)
One million times better than "The Giver", but I still can't say this is a showcase of what Chappell can be capable of; instead, it's a calm pop-rock song with occasional high notes from Chappell and doesn't reflect what she usually goes for. I just don't think the simplicity and the dreamy chords helped as much as she thought they would; it's just fine and definitely extremely overhyped by AOTY.
