Happy Thanksgiving, ladies and gentleman! We’re only about a month away from Christmas and al the big year-end recaps that you can handle. Until then, the Top 20 Countdown is still in session and Ellie Goulding is still #1, marking her third week in the top spot. Spending a second week at #1 is Lauren Alaina with “Next Boyfriend”, followed by the record-breaker Adele moving up to #3 with “Hello”. Yup, the Top 3 is super-blonde this week, ladies and gentlemen. (Even the #1 from this week a year ago is blonde.) Rounding out the Top 5 are Bring Me The Horizon‘s “Throne” and Alessia Cara‘s “Here”, both of which are former #1 songs on the countdown.
Elsewhere on the countdown, with Maddie & Tae‘s “Fly” leaving the countdown after a record-setting 33 weeks, it leaves from on the countdown for songs to move up and debut, a boy does that happen. Halestorm is the biggest mover of the week while Fifth Harmony has the biggest drop; JoJo returns to the Top 10, and Selena Gomez makes her first appearance on the countdown in four years with the debut of “Same Old Love”.
