39 Marshmello & Anne-Marie - Friends [38 weeks]
37 Zedd / Maren Morris & Grey - The Middle [41 weeks]
33 Bazzi - Mine [37 weeks]

THIS WEEK'S DEBUTS:
Ariana Grande - thank you, next
This song, from an album of same name that's gonna be release in Feb 2019, is a breakup song, unlike Without Me by Halsey which is sad and bitter, is mutual and grateful one ... she saying thanks to ex-fiance Pete Davidson for wonderful memories ...she also divulges in her other past exes as well....the production and vocals is a lil weaker than all of her hit singles from Sweetner... Projection: top 10

DJ Snake / Selena Gomez / Ozuna / Cardi B - Taki Taki
The latest from the french EDM Dj is a blended Latin tune.... Ozuna isn't great and his verses was too long ...should have been more of Selena and Cardi and less of Ozuna.. otherwise a decent tune...Projection: top 25

Best Debut: Ariana Grande - thank you, next

Blurb Grande:
* With thank u, next [#40], Ariana Grande has 4 tunes simultaneously by herself in the countdown -- God Is A Woman [#03], Breathin' [#07] and No Tears Left To Cry [#27]

* Speaking of God Is A Woman, It dropped only 2 spots (out of the #1 spot) along with Lie [#08-#10] to be Co-Biggest Fallers as Sunflower [#24-#19] is this week's Biggest Riser by moving up 5 spots

* Happier takes over the top spot and can stay for 2-3 weeks b4 either Breathin' and High Hopes can move in

* Marshmello (who has the #1 song, Happier, and the song most needed to exit, Friends) has confirmed in a tweet that he's collaborating in 2019 with country western star Kane Brown. Brown said in a reply to that tweet "It's too real.... It's gonna get to many people in their feelings... and it's jam only listened to it like 600 times"

* Before Ryan introduced Zedd's The Middle, Maren Morris (the vocalist to the song) said that said her upcoming album will be a mixed genre album (like Taylor Swift's Red album). So she'll have pop only songs, country only songs, and songs that will crossover genres
