The top 10 songs from last week's chart went through to this week's. The usual progression towards a new wave of future of Hall of Famers as it has been for a couple weeks, but also some sad personal losses on the chart this week. Good bye for now, CJeps! And I was also a big fan of the Joy Formidable song, so a gracious to whoever's submission that was. David Bowie becomes the first artist to chart two songs on top this year, and it's surprising it took this long to do so. There's quite the disparity in votes between the top few songs and the rest of the pack, I wonder if that trend will continue...
