Top 5 Songs for Week Ending May 30

We’re lifting off with the five most popular songs in the Billboard¹ Hot 100 Pop Singles chart, for the week ending May 30, 2015.

If you stand this week’s lineup straight, tilt² your head to the right and squint³ a little…it still looks an awful lot like last week’s Top Five.

Fourteen weeks at number one and it’s still in the Top Five: Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars demonstrate real staying power with “Uptown Funk.” This week it slips a slot to fifth place. In July, Mark heads to Australia for the Splendour In The Grass Festival. He’ll perform with a full live band, including a brass⁴ section, backing singers and guest vocalists including Kevin Parker, of the Aussie band Tame Impala.

Taking over fourth place is Walk The Moon, with “Shut Up And Dance.” This humble⁵ Ohio band just scored a supreme⁶ musical honor: they’re opening a show for The Rolling Stones. It happens on July 8 at Comerica Park in Detroit. In a statement, singer Nick Petricca says “We’ve called our moms, we’ve bought new shoes, and we are honored and ecstatic to open for the legendary⁷ Rolling Stones.”

Holding in third place is The Weeknd, with “Earned It.” On May 26, a new single titled “I Can’t Feel My Face” briefly⁸ leaked online. Co-written with Swedish pop maestro Max Martin, it was rumored⁹ to be the lead single from The Weeknd’s upcoming album…release date still unknown.

Another week, another runner-up finish for Fetty Wap. The New Jersey¹⁰ rapper remains¹¹ within striking distance of the prize, as “Trap Queen” stays stuck at number two. The New Jersey rapper is reportedly working up a remix tailored for the African market. Pulse Nigeria reports that Fetty’s using African stars Davido, Wizkid, and Ice Prince…and Davido posted a video of Fetty confirming the collaboration¹².

Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth rule the Hot 100 for week number six with “See You Again.” Wiz Khalifa tells People Magazine that he would “die” if his two-year-old son Sebastian ever elected to cover his body in tattoos¹³ like his daddy…Wiz reportedly has more than 18.

That’s it for now, but the charts never sleep! We'll be back next week with another Top Five Countdown!
