The Hot 45 Chart - Week Of February 27, 2016

Hey fam! Welcome back to The Hot 45 Chart! I have a very exciting chart this week in store for you all! We have a pretty good cleanout of songs this week. The most exits in Hot 45 Chart history! That's right! Before we start, let's review last week's top 5. Taylor Swift jumped back up to #1 with Out Of The Woods for the fifth time. Snatching #2 was Selena Gomez - Hands To Myself. Bang My Head from David Guetta, Sia, and Fetty Wap dropped out of the top spot to #3. Ellie Goulding - Something In The Way You Move took the #4 spot. Coldplay and Beyonce managed to rise to #5 with Hymn For The Weekend. Can Taylor Swift manage to hold at the top spot with Out Of The Woods for the sixth non consecutive week? Hang on to find out. I have long list of exits for the chart this week so prepare.

Hot 45 Chart Artist To Watch: Jess Glynne

Unfortunately, there was a lack of new music this week and there was also a cleanout of songs from The Next Big Songs section. So, here is a new single that I found interesting this week.

Zedd/Aloe Blacc - Candyman

It's our paradise and it's our war zone.

Love ya fam!
