Pop Express: Maroon 5 Now 3 Weeks at #1 with "Maps"!

Maroon 5 is still using their "Maps" to guide them while riding the Pop Express to land at #1 for the third week in a row. Their lead single from their fifth studio album V has also already reached #1 in South Korea and has entered the Top 10 in the US. Meanwhile, two collaborations close in on Adam Levine and company. The first is another Adam – Adam Young, also known as Owl City, as "Beautiful Times" featuring Lindsey Stirling rises from #9 to #3. The other team-up is at #2, as Sponge Cola and Yeng Constantino's "+63" becomes the top Pinoy track of the week. We have two debuts this week. The highest at #12 is a "Fireflies"-inspired Vispop 2.0 entry called "Intergalactic Gugma," sung by Tony Alfonso of Drop Decay and Kaye Dinauto.

Maroon 5, "Maps"

Maroon 5's "Maps" Guides Them to Reach Top Spot!

Adam Levine and his Maroon 5 bandmates surely know where they are going. They won't get lost in the middle of nowhere, thanks to their new single "Maps." From their forthcoming fifth studio album V, the lead single continues its stellar debut last week by immediately climbing up the charts and claiming the #1 spot this week.

Just behind Maroon 5 is fellow riser Colbie Caillat, whose song "Try" ascends four spots to #2, but the biggest gainer this week is Canadian singer-songwriter and dancer Kiesza, whose sophomore single "Giant in My Heart" is now at #12 from #18. Among the new entries this week are Sponge Cola, debuting at #9 with "+63" featuring Yeng Constantino, and Kyla, who now has two entries on the chart as "Salbabida" enters at #14, even as her other song "Kunwa-Kunwari Lang" is still on the rise (#11 to #7).
