Top Tensday - Billboard Hot 100 Review: July 11, 2020

The charts continue to change as each song's relative weakness begins to show aside from "ROCKSTAR", which seems to have a lock on the #1 spot. Indeed, it seems to be the only strong song out there, with "WHATS POPPIN" somehow taking the #2 spot with a remix. You really don't need to go further than that to justify the weakness of the charts right now. "WHATS POPPIN" is not a #2 song. It's also not a #10 song, but we've crossed that bridge already. Speaking of the Top 10, we have two new entries in Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar" (expected) and Lil Baby & 42 Dugg's "We Paid" (...okay?) This knocks out "Circles" yet again and "The Bigger Picture" which is still holding on more than I thought it would.

Predictions:

That "Savage Love"... thing seems to be rocketing up the charts distressingly quickly, and appears to be robust on streaming. Okay, I guess 2020 is the year Jason Derulo comes back, of all things. Beyond that, hard to say what's going to happen, as the charts seem especially weak right now. Maybe a Pop Smoke album bomb will shake things up further.
