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)."

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.
