2019 Chart Year - 2/23/19 - Week 13/53 - CG5 Leads Second Week, 5 New Top 10s

No rest for the charts this week as the top 10 gets flooded with debuts. The top 3, on the other hand, remains both strong and for the most part stagnant: Discord continues a safe lead at #1, Alternate Realities (3-2) and Brony Piano Medley (2-3) trade places, and The Scariest Costume holds at a strong #4. Past here, of course, is where the chaos begins happening, starting with 4everfreebrony's latest single Who Knows, pulling in MilkyMomo, EileMonty, and MEMJ0123 for an epic show tune number that lands at the lofty #5, putting up a close fight for the #4 spot in terms of chart points. Scraton makes his return to the charts as Mares in Black debuts at #6. Are You There is the last of our top 10s from last week to remain, down 6-7. Our only top 10 climber this week, Shine On by Drixale accumulates 12-8. Off the new compilation "Lunar New Year: Trash3D", Nightmare Moon Has a Speech Impediment starts at #9 thanks to promotion by the Cider Party channel. Finally, we've got Convergence from Vylet Pony debuting at #10, giving the Homeward album another top 10. Check out more past the break!

2019 Chart Year - 2/16/19 - Week 12/53 - CG5, DAGames, & RichaadEB Debut at #1, One Track Mind, mikuma, & Vylet Pony Get Individual Top 10s

It's a hectic week on the charts, as, for the fourth week in a row, we've got a #1 debut at hand. This time, it's the return of fandom adjacent CG5, famous primarily for his covers and tributes to various videogame properties like Bendy and the Ink Machine, Five Nights at Freddy's, and Undertale. Last year on the chart, he made waves with his cover of "Open Up Your Eyes", which ended up as the second biggest song of the year. Now he's back with a rendition of fandom classic "Discord", specifically taking cues from the Living Tombstone remix. With over 140,000 views and 12,000 likes, it easily nabs the debut.

Tailing behind are the prior 2 #1 debuts: "Brony Piano Medley" by WeimTimeLLC at #2 and "Alternate Realities" by TPressleyJ & Ashley H. at #3. 3 other songs from last week's top 10 remain: "The Scariest Costume", with a notable points jump thanks to proxy attention from the Magpiepony-backed "Medley" in a nonindicative 3-4 slide, "Are You There", down 4-6, and "Shattered Gems", holding at #10 after its #1 start three weeks that started the current chain.

Our second big debut this week comes from One Track Mind, whose "Love Was in Bloom" starts at #5. Missing the Trot 100 on its first possible frame, promotion thanks to the Cider Party collective gives it a major rebound. Next up is mikuma, whose "Splash Damage" starts at #7, originally released through the Enigma compilation album. Finally, replacing her own song "Homeward" (down 7-50), Vylet Pony lands new single "Square One" in the top 10 at #8.

One song returns to the top 10, that being Evgeniy Doctor's "Hush Now Quiet Now", up 13-9. The song peaked at #2 just two weeks ago. Check out more past the break!
