For the second time ever, Belgium’s flag is firmly planted atop the WMR 100 this week. Yves V will be the one reaching the summit, accompanied by Paradigm and Mougleta, with his track Dynamite, which reaches the top of the list ten weeks into its run. Joining him on the podium will be Olivia Lunny, staying put at #2 for another week with Timezone, and Dutch band RONDÉ, which has been rocketing up the list of late and claim bronze in their fifth week in the WMR 100 with Break My Heart. Dethroned #1 Kelly Clarkson and Kylie Minogue will be rounding out the top five.

She’s not coming down from our Favorite Kind of High. Kelly Clarkson scores a second week atop the WMR 100 while also reigning since yesterday in the Fan Mix 40. The American performer’s love song retains the top spot of the list with Olivia Lunny still hot on her heels, not moving from #2 as well with Timezone. Theresa Rex, Yves V and RONDÉ round out the top five.

We frequently say that WMR Fan Mix 40 votes are tight races. But none tighter than this week, when Kelly Clarkson and Madison Beer actually tied in points in the top two spots. Resorting to our tiebreaker criteria, Clarkson received more 10s than Beer, so she will be the one taking the #1 place this week with Favorite Kind of High. Rounding out the podium will be Kylie Minogue, climbing up to #3 with Padam Padam.

It was beginning to look like the WMR 100 #1 was going to slip through Kelly Clarkson’s fingers, as she has spent these past three weeks on the podium, closely watching as Dotter and Katie Belle took turns on the top spot. But that won’t be the case as this week, the inaugural American Idol champion claims the crown all to herself, replacing fellow countrywoman Katie Belle at #1 with her single Favorite Kind of High, one of the tracks off her newest album Chemistry, which came out less than a month ago. Katie drops to #3 with her three-time WMR 100 #1 The Best You’ll Ever Have, leaving the door open for Olivia Lunny to take the silver medal and a new personal best in the list with Timezone, moving up four places from #6. Theresa Rex and Laura Rizzotto, both also trending upward, round out this week’s top five.

Once again we have a really tight race to the top in the second installment of the WMR Fan Mix 40 list. This time, Dotter is the one your votes have crowned as the new #1, with her single No Room for Love becoming the first song to top both the Fan Mix 40 and the WMR 100. Kelly Clarkson and Madison Beer flank her on the podium, only one and two points behind, respectively, in the voting tally.
Out of the five new challengers who joined the race to the list last week, four have made the cut: the team-up of Walk Off the Earth and Lindsey Stirling in Long Way Home enters at #33, Niall Horan clinches the #28 spot with The Show, Mae Muller debuts at #21 with Me, Myself & I, and Go_A score the hottest new entry of the week, with Rusalochki arriving at the not-so-unlucky #13. Samantha will get another shot this week.

Katie Belle just achieved two WMR 100 firsts in one go. Climbing back to the top after losing the #1 spot to Dotter seven days ago, her track The Best You’ll Ever Have is now the first song in WMR 100 history to hold the #1 spot in non-consecutive weeks, and our very first three-time #1. Hot on her heels is newly-crowned Fan Mix 40 #1 Annalisa, who here moves up to #2 from last week’s #4 with Mon Amour, and rounding out the podium is Kelly Clarkson, who drops a spot to #3 with Favorite Kind of High.

The people have spoken. You, the WMR readers and fans, have chosen through your votes to crown Italian star Annalisa as the inaugural #1 of the Fan Mix 40 list. Her song Mon Amour will hold the crown this week after coming out on top in a tight race that has seen multiple ties in points, that we had to resolve through tiebreaker criteria based on highest ratings given (that is, if two songs have the same amount of points, the one that received the most amount of 10s goes over the other; if that doesn’t break the tie, then we count the amount of 9s, and so on).
Annalisa beats Kylie Minogue to the #1 spot by a twenty-point margin, but behind the top two, as mentioned, things are much tighter; Minogue herself only finishes seven points ahead of third-placer Ariadne and her song Better Without You, while two-time WMR 100 #1 Katie Belle lands at #4, falling just three points short of the podium with her track The Best You’ll Ever Have.
