If RITON could be our new number 1 single, i will be happy!! If he would have waited this summer to release it, i reckon it would have been number 1: it has such a summer vibe!!

I am sorry but 'Deja Vu' don't deserve to be on the Top 20 or Top 10 cause I am not hyped over Olivia's music.

Hoping that 'My Head & My Heart' will finally get a new Peak.

I hope 'Deja Vu' doesn't go up. I hate it's guts. It is a mediocre song in my opinion.

'Deja Vu' & 'Good Without' are finally starting to get the recognition that they both deserve now! I could see them both entering the Top 10 in the next few weeks. :)

I would rather have 'Good Without'being on the Top 10 than 'Deja Vu' because her follow up 'Drivers License' isn't worthy of the hype the same being with 'Deja Vu'

It's insane how 'Friday [Dopamine Re-Edit]' is back in the Top 3 again! Even if it'll fall again by the final chart, I could see it avoiding ACR for a while. :)
