The top 10 songs from last week's chart went on to this week's. As I mentioned in the last topic, I re-arranged some of the rules involving MegaCritic selections to include more of our own nominations, since there have been so many great ones as of recent. I'll point those out in the next post. It's also worth mentioning that Alvvays has now met Sharon Van Etten's record with five consecutive chart-topping weeks. A Hall of Fame-worthy act if I've ever seen one. Well, another one.

Here is this week's 18-song Spotify chart (with 2 songs included below via YouTube link):
Thank you all for voting and nominating continuously every week! Please don't be afraid to supply us with nominations - all songs six months old and younger (or who have received promotion via album/video/single in the last six months) are accepted! And seconding nominations by others' gives those songs a better chance at making the next poll!
