Welcome to this week’s Top 20 Most Wanted countdown and for a third straight week – Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” is the number-1 song!  Alessia Cara remains in the #2 spot while Katy Perry’s new track has leaped into the Top 3.

Of note this week – we have one debut as Michael Buble’s tune “I Believe in You” arrives at #19.  Also – it was a big jump for a couple of former One Direction members.  Zayn and Taylor Swift’s track “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” moves up 5 spots and Niall Horan’s tune “This Town” rose 4.

Scroll down to see the song we chose for this week’s Soundtrack Spotlight (from the rom-com “Can’t Buy Me Love”), our Most Wanted Flashback looks back at a song from an actor that topped the charts this week in 1998, and the Most Wanted Request is for a musical group who have one member celebrating a birthday this week!
