[+5] Dean Lewis - Be Alright [#37-#31]

[+5] Ellie Goulding / Diplo / Swae Lee - Close To Me [#31-#26]

The 3 Songs Under The Top 30 That's Way Due to Exit:
40 Marshmello & Anne-Marie - Friends [40 weeks] 
39 Zedd / Maren Morris & Grey - The Middle [43 weeks]

35 Bazzi - Mine [39 weeks]

New Debut This Week:
Dan + Shay - Tequila
Final song debuting in 2018 is a country tune that hit #1 in MediaBase and was stuck at #2 in Bilboard Hot Country behind Meant To Be (one of 2017's final debuts in AT40), this duo is a wonderful vocal tandem and it does shows in this tune...Hopefully Dan + Shay's current country hit Speechless can enter here...Projection: Top 20

When I Taste Blurb:
- Close To Me and Be Alright is this week's big risers ....AND TFG I'm A Mess is this week's biggest fall...hope Lucid Dreams can follow suit when we start 2019

- Looks like Breathin' not gonna hit #1 as it drops a notch...Happier stays at #1 again with High Hopes having a best chance to be the first #1 of 2019

- Love Lies is currently the oldest song in top 10 (32 weeks) and could stay in there for a few more weeks in 2019 before it becomes the biggest fall at one point

- By the way Ariana Grande still has four songs in the top 30 but now Breathin', God Is A Woman and thank u, next are all in the top 20....Whar an accomplishment
