The Weeknd holds on to his top spot at mainstream pop radio even though "Can't Feel My Face" loses the overall crown. Major Lazer jumps a pair of notches to #3 this week with "Lean On." Selena Gomez also makes a bid to have a top of the chart challenger in a few weeks as "Good For You" slips into the top 5. One Direction have another pop radio hit on their hands. The new single "Drag Me Down" bumps up six big notches in its third week on the chart. Actress Hailee Steinfeld, who appears in the hit film Pitch Perfect 2, has her first pop hit single with "Love Myself" opening at a strong #27. The Weeknd also opens this week with the already platinum selling single "The Hills." It is in the top 5 on the overall pop singles chart, and the new radio support will likely help it climb even higher.
