This week's OLT20 Chart Analysis: This week on OLT20 we want to give a big thumbs up to both Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi (known for his multiple songs, one of them being "Despacito") & Lebanese singer Hiba Tawaji for their 4th week at Number One with "Que Sera Sera (Law Nebka Sawa)" their 1st song together. It is Tawaji's 3rd Top 10 Hit in Lebanon after "Comme Un Symbole" (2016) & "Lahza Ya Rayt" (2020). It is also Fonsi's 3rd Number One in Lebanon after "Despacito" (2017) & "Echame La Culpa" (2017). "Que Sera, Sera" means 'whatever will be, will be'. The translation is closest to Spanish, but it really is Italian in origin. On this 46th Chart of the year we have a total of 5 New Entries in the countdown. The highest one comes from Lebanese singer, actress, and performer Carole Samaha with "Maghroumi Bmeen" in at Number 4, followed by Leeds-based artist Sunkissed Child (real name is Yasmina Nahas - from Lebanese origins) who returns with her second single release 'Monday Grind' in at Number 15 (it's Sunkissed Child's first Hit song on OLT20 - it is a punchy and captivating take on the darkness of focusing on your purpose), and by Singer, Songwriter Majd Barakat with 'La Tkhafi' (Lyricist & Composer: Alee Balancos - Music Producer: Dj Maximus - Mix & Mastering: Dj Nassin) at Number 19.Also note that biggest jump of the week comes from Dutch singer of Moroccan descent Laroussi  with "Good" (her new single) which bullets up to Number 10 (from Number 14 last week).  On OLT20 this week we have 10 Local or Regional artists, and 10 Occidental ones.All details on this week's Chart can also be found on both the OLT20 Mobile App & OLT20 website at www.olt20.com
