The End of the TestJ
Hello, there! You are now listening to this week’s Top 10 Hot Tunes from DJ Billie. This week, our chart has changed quite a lot. Rolling Petals, formed by two amazing young men in a garage four years ago, released their latest single “Stairway to Your Heart.” The song, out of the blue, soars to the second place from nowhere. Eddie Sheeron’s “Shape of Love” went down from No. 1 to No. 5 last week, and this week it drops to its new-time low. Though “Somebody Just like You” by the Chainshoppers & Hotplay doesn’t rank better than “Shape of Love,” it’s on the chart for over 20 weeks straight! By the way, I love their music video. You’ve got to check it out. And now, you may wonder what the Top 1 song is. Amazingly, this week’s No. 1 goes to “That’s What I Want” by Bruder Mars. Thanks to the movie—A Woman of My Lifetime—that came out recently, the song rises from the bottom of our chart, steals No. 1 from Katy Berry’s “Chained to the Rain” and hits the chart hard. Next up is our No. 1 song, “That’s What I Want.” Enjoy it!
