Setting the Blurb on Fire
Did anyone else besides Scott Rohrbeck and I hear the host, Spyder Harrison, announce Body Say as "Body Talk"?

How in the world is The Sound in the top 10? This song is hardly popular.

Same with Unsteady; that was a Subway Fresh Buzz song on the American top 40. That song, in the words of Graham Badenhausen, "better not (re)become a hit."

Does anyone notice a pattern in songs #9-#5? Last week they were #15, #12, #9, #6, and #3. They are in 3-spot increments.

Thank you voters for making Send My Love (To Your New Lover) #1 and putting Can't Stop the Feeling far behind it. Best 0-exit week ever.

My top 5 countdown
5. Jacob Whitesides - Lovesick
4. Drake/WizKid/Kyla - One Dance
3. Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
2. Lukas Graham - Mama Said
1. 5 Seconds of Summer - Girls Talk Boys
