The top 10 songs from last week's chart went through to this week's. A very, very interesting week for the chart. One song that almost made it to the end of its natural run is out this week, which I'm sure will come as a disappointment to many. But more importantly, Julia Holter's "Sea Calls Me Home" is entering the record books, tying the record for most weeks at the top of the chart, as well as tying the record for most weeks straight at the top of the chart. So, obviously, both records can be broken next week. But will they? We'll see. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who seconded so many songs last week. Pretty much the whole chart is made of seconded entries, which just speaks to how strong our community contribution is As well as how hard a decision this will be. Grimes is the first artist to have three entries on the chart at the same time. Let's see how it plays out...
