Pop Express: Owl City Enjoys 'Beautiful Times' at #1!

After our chart went to hiatus for a week, the Pop Express is now back this week with a new #1. Votes were combined for the past two weeks, and Owl City finds himself on top of the chart as his collaboration with Lindsey Stirling called "Beautiful Times" rises two spots from #3. Also rising to the occasion are songwriting entries "Intergalactic Gugma" of Vispop fame performed by Tony Alfonso and Kaye Dinauto (up 9 to third), and recently-crowned Philpop champ "Salbabida" performed by Kyla (up 5 to sixth). Nico & Vinz feels so right at #12 with "Am I Wrong," while John Legend debuts highest at #14 with "You & I (Nobody in the World)."
