Week 5 - Sakima, FKA twigs, Sevdaliza & Kesha Score Big, Halsey Still Number 1

In the fifth installation of Ted's Top 40, the top 2 is still occupied by the same two songs it was in its inaguaral week: "Bad at Love" by Halsey stays steady at 1 and BETSY's "Fair" doesn't budge from 2. 

Amy Shark's "Adore" sinks to 15, while Kesha's "Hymn" drops 5-13. However, both artists rise through the Top 5 this week, as Kesha's "Praying" goes 4-3 and Amy Shark's "Drive You Mad" jumps 6-4. Kesha also has two songs debut this week, with "Learn To Let Go" at 6 and "Let 'Em Talk (feat. Eagles of Death Metal)" at 11.

Alt-R&B singers do extraordinarily well this week, as Sakima, FKA twigs, BANKS, SOPHIE and Sevdaliza all debut with a combined grand total of 12 songs (two of which are in the Top 20, "Bluecid" (18) and "That Other Girl" (19) by Sevdaliza) and one in the Top 10 (FKA twigs' "Water Me"). Sakima impresses, as four of his tracks debut and his sole track last week ("Happy Hr") jumps 36-30. Hitmaker Daya also sees her first song debut on the chart, with "New" popping in at 20.

Hey Violet and Demi Lovato both rise farther into the Top 10 this week, as the former was just outside and the latter bookended it last week. "Hoodie" goes to 9 and "Daddy Issues" jumps to 7.

Many Annie Lennox tracks drop this week. "The Saddest Song (I've Got)" doesn't advance on the chart for the first time in it's four-week history as it moves 3-5. "Pavement Cracks" sinks 22-26. "Bitter Pill" drops off completely, but "Wonderful" rises 20-17.

Adore Delano has a better week than last, as "Pretty Boys Cry" and "I Adore U" both rise.

Pat Benatar is this week's lowest ranking debut, as "Love Is A Battlefield" enters at 39.

Taylor Swift's brand new single "Gorgeous" bookends the chart. Swift previously entered the chart on it's debut week at number 6 with "Look What You Made Me Do".
