The top 10 songs from last week's chart went through to this week's. Though we all may be transitioning over into the new year, the chart itself is definitely staying very 2015 with nine solid entries that have all made it past their fifth week! How many of them will make the Hall of Fame before a new crowd takes over the reins? Who's to say. But the nomination pool is full of slim pickings and dated entries, so perhaps those odds are a little more solid than expected.
