Top Songs [8.3.2017]

This week, 'A L I E N S' returns to Number One. It moves one spot from last week's position to occupy the top spot. 'A L I E N S' becomes just the 2nd song to reach the top spot in two non-consecutive weeks, after previously reaching Number One three weeks ago. It joins 'Endorphins' for this feat ('Endorphins' spent 3 weeks at Number One with 2 of those weeks consecutive and one, of course, non-consecutive). 'A L I E N S' also becomes just the 4th song to spend more than one week at Number One, and the first since 'She A Light' almost 3 months ago. It joins 'Cruise' and 'Shed A Light' in the runner-up spot all with 2 weeks. 'A L I E N S' also spends it's 4th week in both the Top 10 and, more importantly, the Top 5 where it has been since it hit Number One (29-1-2-2-1). It joins 'Malibu' in the 3rd place spot for most weeks in the Top 5. With 'A L I E N S', Coldplay notch their 4th week at Number One. They had previously reached Number One with 'Hypnotised' and 'Miracles...' each hitting the top spot for a week. Coldplay thus joins Lorde to hold that record (4 weeks). Lorde and Coldplay remain the only artists to reach Number One with more than one song (4 and 3 respectively). 

Last week's #1, 'Fast Car' drops one spot to #2. 'Middle' remains steady at #3, 'Let You Go' reaches a new peak at #4, after debuting at #15 last week. 'Satisified' jumps back into the Top 5 moving 8 spots to #5. 'All I Can Think About Is You' falls out of the Top 5 again, falling one spot to #6; it has spent 7 consecutive weeks on the chart so far. 'True Feeling' gets closer to it's #6 peak, moving one spot up to #7. 'Cry Baby' moves back into the Top 10, jumping 4 spots to #8. Previous #1, 'Miracles (Someone Special), falls 2 spots to #9, and 'Reality' moves back into the Top 10, after previosuly debuting and peaking at #2. 

Now for other records. 'Endorphins' (#35) extends it's record of most weeks on the chart with 17 weeks. It also joins 'Burning Out' to hold the record for most consecutive weeks on the chart (11 weeks). 'Burning Out' ends it's hot streak as it falls off the chart this week, probably temporarily. 'Hello' (#32) and 'I Need You' (#33) both notch their 12 week on the chart, joining 'Green Light' in the 3rd place spot. 'Company' remains inthe runner-up spot with 13 weeks on the chart. With this week's chart presence, and joining 'Burning Out' to hold the record for most consecutive weeks, 'Endorphins' holds (or shares) the 5 top records for songs on the chart:

-Most Weeks on the Chart (17 weeks)

-Most Consecutive Weeks (11 weeks)

-Most Weeks at #1 (3 weeks)

-Most Weeks in the Top 5 (7 weeks)

-Most Weeks in the Top 10 (9 weeks)

And, needless to say, it also remains at #1 on the all-time leaderboard. A monster of a song. 

Over on the leaderboard, 'green Light' remains at #2, but 'Sober' pushes to #3 from #4 last week. 'Burning Out' is at #4, and 'Shed A Light' at #5.
