                       Top 5 Songs for Week Ending May 28

   by Ray McDonald

   These are the five most popular songs in the [1]Billboard Hot 100 Pop
   Singles chart, for the week ending May 28, 2016.

   You may have heard the old saying "Good things come to those who wait."
   It sure applies this week, because the big payoff comes at the end.

   Number 5: Mike Posner "I Took A Pill In Ibiza"

   Mike Posner backs off a notch to fifth place with his global comeback
   hit "I Took A Pill In Ibiza."
   Mike tells the web site [2]Genius.com that the pill in question was a
   mystery to him, and that he was under the influence of alcohol when he
   took it. Mike says he no longer drinks...and he did indeed feel 10
   years older when he finally recovered.

   ''Number 4: Lukas Graham "7 Years"
   Lukas Graham sings about getting older in "their" global hit "7 Years,"
   which this week dips a slot to fourth place. The song has catapulted
   this Danish quartet into global stardom, and this August will see the
   members embark on their first Australian tour.  And no wonder: "7
   Years" topped the Australian chart for eight weeks, and their latest
   album also went to number one Down Under. They'll hit Melbourne on
   August 13, with Sydney following three days later.

   Number 3: Desiigner "Panda"

   Desiigner dips a slot to number three with his former chart-topper
   "Panda." On May 21, the rapper was back home in Brooklyn, performing as
   a special guest at Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Reunion Concert. Among the
   other special guests were DMX and Swizz Beatz.
   Desiigner has upcoming concerts here in Washington, D.C. and St. Louis,
   Missouri.

   ''Number 2: Drake Featuring Wizkid & Kyla "One Dance"
   We have bad news for Drake fans: he no longer rules the Hot 100 with
   "One Dance." The good news? He doesn't fall far. He's also dominating
   the album chart.
   Last week, his Views album opened at number one behind the best
   first-week sales of 2016: 852,000 copies. Views remains at number
   one...while Drake and Future just added additional dates to their
   mid-year North American tour.

   ''Number 1: Justin Timberlake "Can't Stop The Feeling!"
   Here's the payoff I was talking about: Justin Timberlake is your
   brand-new Hot 100 champion, as "Can't Stop The Feeling!" debuts at
   number one. It's his fifth solo singles championship...and his first
   since 2007.
   It's from the Trolls movie soundtrack -- Justin has a role in the
   animated feature, which opens in November.

   That's it for this week...check us out in seven days for another visit
   to the hit list.
