With the Christmas period fading into the distance, the landscape of the charts can finally return to normal, and it means we’re safe from the likes of Mariah Carey, Shakin’ Stevens and Wham for another 11 months. After landing a respectable place on the charts last week (61), Russ’ “Gun Lean” no longer being held back by Christmas vibes has bullied its way into the top 40 scooping the number 36 spot on this week’s charts.
Infectious viral banger “Advice” from Cadent and Deno Driz has once again muscled its way into the top 40, a massive jump of 43 places on last week’s number 70 placing. Da Beatfreakz produced “Pumpy”, the other tune where the pair collaborate alongside Swarmz and AJ; has re-entered the charts this week coming in at number 85.
A few spots higher at number 80, is “Options” which sees NSG collab with Tion Wayne over a wavey Jae5 production, the visuals were premiered on GRM Daily, be sure to catch up with them right here if you missed them.
Undoubtedly one of the tunes of 2018 was Dave & Fredo’s collaborative effort “Funky Friday”. The track went to number one and has spent months in the charts since. It took Christmas music to finally push the tune into the depths of the charts, but with the path now clearing; the track has once again ceased its rightful place in the upper echelons, taking the number 38 spot this week.
We’re certain to see Dave enter the charts again with his first feature appearance of the New Year alongside Headie One on “18 Hunna” – check the incredible visuals out right here if you missed them.
Fredo soon to be omnipresent with his album dropping in less than a month’s time, makes his second appearance on the charts in the shape of a collaboration with Yxng Bane on “Problem” which has re-entered the charts at number 91. Pree the visuals which premiered on GRM Daily right here.
