Welcome to this week’s Top 20 Most Wanted countdown and for a second week in a row – Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” hangs on to top spot!  Alessia Cara remains in the #2 spot while The Weeknd/Daft Punk hold on to 3rd for another week!

Of note this week – Katy Perry’s new tune has made a 4 spot jump for the second consecutive week as “Chained to the Rhythm” leaps into the Top 5!  Is there another stop at #1 in her future?  We’ll likely find out over the next month or so.

Scroll down to see the song we chose for this week’s Soundtrack Spotlight (from the hilarious film “Old School”), our Most Wanted Flashback looks back at the song that topped the charts this week back in 1999, and the Most Wanted Request is for a music legend who was enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this week back in 2008).
