Because the G# forms a nice descending line after the A from the previous chord (F#m/C#).ice909 wrote:Why is the g sharp on top in c# maj 7th

If you're asking this because of an assumption that the notes of a chord have to be in ascending order through root, 3rd, 5th, 7th etc, they don't.ice909 wrote:Why is the g sharp on top in c# maj 7th
The can be in any order. Especially if the root note is being played by, say a bass guitar or synth or whatever. In that context some notes may be missing. The chord might be comprised of, say, F, G#, C (more correctly called B# if your in the Key of C#), which by itself would be an F minor chord, but if the bass is covering the C#, the combined sound will still be a C# major 7.

Because it sounds cool. Chord inversions and voice leading give options, but sounding cool gives decisions; the composer probably tried a few things and went with what worked best in this case.ice909 wrote:Why is the g sharp on top in c# maj 7th
Plus, voice leading, as MadBrain pointed out.
