No songs debut this week within the Top 10; this is the first time since January 10th -- and only the 4th time overall. It's doubtful to whether a song will debut next week either.

We've reached half of 2014 successfully! This my 2nd year posting a mid-year chart; but unlike my last year which had 20 this has 50 positions. My countdown is more successful than ever; and I listen to music more than ever, so why not? Just like the formula for my Year-End 100 this is sorted by most plays. It's interesting to see which songs had longevity...and which didn't.
