The Final Charts - 1/11/20 - We Cap Off Right About Where We Started: Brony Polka Leads a Sixth Week

It's quite bittersweet to finally let the chart go. For almost 6 years I've cultivated it, seen so much happen, and it's a shame that circumstances won't allow us to look further. However, I remain happy that we were able to cover a majority of the show's run period and witness so many wonderful acts that have come and gone. One that's always somewhat fascinated me was AnimatedJames. While he shifted away from the pony fandom on unamicable terms, his brief foray into music left quite an impact. Snatching a holiday #1 later, he cut his teeth with a mammoth of a track: Brony Polka, a medley of dozens of the fandom's biggest hits up to that point running at over 9 minutes. Leading the chart for four weeks in its nascence, the song was a monster smash, only being fended off from the year-end crown by the similarly eventful final show remix from The Living Tombstone. 2 years later, major pony animator Viva Reverie announced that they would be doing an animation of the entire project, releasing a teaser covering about a quarter of the song. This segment was substantial enough to count towards the song on the chart, granting it another week at #1 and getting it all the way to #29 on 2016's year-end. The project went through years of trials and tribulations, only to finally get launched at the beginning of the absolute final possible tracking period, ensuring that it would happen; it was just too perfect. Naturally, the release was incredibly hyped, the product of years of expectation along with the nostalgia both the animation (which references famous takes on the medleyed songs from animators both still around and long gone) and song bring, and the song comes in with around 24,000 likes and 138,000 views, pulverizing the points. It did so to such a degree that both Octavia (2019) and Discord were able to be returned their third party and legacy uploads respectively: they're not even the runnerup! Instead, that goes to Heavenbound, which absolutely trumps last week's total by several multiples, racking up about 5,500 likes and 60,000 views. The final big news for the week is a top 10 entry for MrMehster and Tw3Lv3 with Work in Progress, which starts at the #10 spot with 460 likes and 3,300 views. Check out this final weekly past the break!
