by Meduza featuring Goodboys<\/strong> climbs 4-2, and\u00a0<strong>&#8220;SOS&#8221; by Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc<\/strong> climbs 12-6 to become Avicii&#8217;s tenth top 10 hit. \u00a0<strong>&#8220;Here With Me&#8221;

it&#8217;s Jonas Blue &#8211; but there&#8217;s some seriously clumsy stuff in that video, and it&#8217;s really not the song to do the dramatic opening monologue with. \u00a0Especially if you&#8217;re going to write it that badly. \u00a0Theresa Rex is from Denmark; this is her first chart credit, but she was the singer on Martin Jensen&#8217;s &#8220;Solo Dance&#8221;, which reached number 7 in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24. \u00a0Lil Dicky &#8211; &#8220;Earth&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pvuN_WvF1to\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So you can score Lil Dicky off the list of true one hit wonders. \u00a0Last year&#8217;s novelty number one &#8220;Freaky Friday&#8221;
