Top Songs [06.15.2017]

This week, we get a new Number One (surprise!) and a number of records. First off, we have a record number of songs on the chart: 80. This is as a result of a record abundance of songs listened to in this period. Now back to the songs: 'Sober' by Lorde debuts at the Number One spot. This gives Lorde a new record: the first artist to top the chart for more than 2 weeks (3 weeks). She achieved this by topping the charts with 'Green Light', 'Perfect Places' and now 'Sober', each for one week. She pushes past Kygo, Sub Focus, David Guetta and Robin Schulz each of whom hit the top spot with one song that spent 2 weeks at the top (Guetta and Schulz achieved this with a collaboration 'Shed A Light'). Also, Lorde extends her record as the only artist to hit Number One with more than one song (now with 3 songs). 'Witness' by Katy Perry debuts at the #2 spot. She also places 2 other songs in the Top 10: 'Pendulum' (#4) and 'Tsunami' (#10). 'Endorphins' returns to the Top 5 of the chart, moving 34 spots to #3, after peaking at #1 for 2 weeks earlier in it's run. It achieves this powered by the Fred V & Grafix remix which was made along with Sub Focus. With this, 'Endorphins' spends it's 10th week on the chart, joining the company of 'Company' (punny, I know) as the songs with the most weeks on the chart so far. 'Malibu' falls 1 spot to #5 in it's 2nd chart week. 'Burning Out' jumps one spot to #6, marking it's 5th chart week. Last week's #1 'Buscando Huellas' falls 7 spots to #8 in it's 2nd chart week. 'I Promise' also falls, 6 spots to #9. At #16, 'Green Light' returns to light up the chart after more than a month away, marking it's 9th week on the chart. As such, it joins 'Hello' for the runner-up postion of most weeks on the chart with 9 weeks. Also joinig 'Hello' and now 'Green Light' is 'Cruise' (#45) which also spends it's 9th weeks on the chart this week. Also lighting up the chart, 'Shed A Light' moves one spot to #19. Thisweek marks it's 6th chart week, but more importantly, it's 6th CONSECUTIVE chart week. As such, it joins 'Endorphins' for the most consecutive weeks on the chart so far (6 weeks). 

Here's hoping next week surpasses this one in activity.
