Tetris Kelly:

As we saw last week, anything can happen. Who’s dropping into the Hot 100 next? Is it time for Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” to hit the top 40? Will we see Olivia Dean make it to the top three? Can we expect a Sombr November? We’re giving you the rundown of some of the contenders on this Week’s Hot 100. Ella Langley had a promising viral moment in the past years. 

But will this track tug at people’s heartstrings and take it to the top? 

Xander Zellner:

This song had a great debut on the Hot 100 recently, and I feel like it’s gonna crack the top 40 on the latest chart. It also has a big start at Country Airplay. So I think getting that country boost and at that format is going to really help it. 

Tetris Kelly:

“Man I Need” stays steadily climbing. Can she crack the top three?

Delisa Shannon:

We’ve seen so much excitement around this song. Also, like we know she’s been opening up for Sabrina Carpenter, opening her up to a completely new audience. The song is inescapable right now, so I would not be surprised if she’s cracking the top three next week. 

Tetris Kelly:

“Back to Friends” may bring Sombr his first top 10.

Trevor Anderson:

Called it a Sombr September a couple months ago. Maybe it’s gonna be a Somber November instead. But the song “Back to Friends” is really making its way up. No. 12 this week on the Hot 100, so only a few spots outside of the top 10, very much on the cusp of the top 10 on the Pop Airplay chart.
