Zach's Weekly Top 40 - October 21, 2016

• The Weeknd's Starboy reigns the chart for a 3rd week with a substantial lead. Bruno Mars' 24K Magic stays at #2 is much weaker than it was last week. Could it eventually bounce back? Meanwhile, Mike Perry's The Ocean (4-3), Sia's The Greatest (6-4) and OneRepublic's Kids (8-5) round off the top 5.
• We three three re-entries this week: Creed's With Arms Wide Open (#8) is a song I NEVER get tired of and is one of my favourite songs ever, Kings of Leon's Waste a Moment is back at #11 following the album release (other songs from the album just barely missed the chart) and Jon Bellion's former #1 All Time Low (#27) re-enters. Watch closely new entries in the form of 11 Blocks by Wrabel and Capsize by FRENSHIP and Emily Warren (new at #24 and #30, respectively) as these songs could do big things in the coming weeks.
• James Arthur's Say You Won't Let Go (36-17) is the top gainer here, although I'm not too sure that the momentum will keep up. Heathens from Twenty One Pilots (10-16) gets biggest loser status.
• Recurrent Songs gets a new #1 with Creed's With Arms Wide Open. Sam Smith and Amber Run appear on this chart for the first time. Over at the Top 10 Artists list, The Weeknd returns to the summit while Kings of Leon soar in at #4 on the strength of their album release. Kanye West, who very often finds himself just outside of the top 10, re-enters for just his 2nd week. Bruno Mars is new to the chart as a revisited some of his old material this week.
