Welcome to this week’s Top 20 Most Wanted countdown and for the 1st time in FOUR WEEKS – we have a new #1 song!  This week, Ed Sheeran has knocked Alessia Cara out of the top spot as “Shape of You” got enough votes to take over for a first week!

Of note this week – Katy Perry’s new tune (with a little help from Skip Marley) has made another jump.  Her tune “Chained to the Rhythm” has moved into the Top 10 rising 4 spots to #9.

Scroll down to see the song we chose for this week’s Soundtrack Spotlight (from SEVERAL popular movie soundtracks), our Most Wanted Flashback looks back at a band with 2 first names (#1 this week in 1986) and our Most Wanted Request is for a band from the UK who’s lead singer is celebrating a birthday this week.
