Top 5 Songs for Week Ending May 12

We're on the move with the five most popular songs in the Billboard Hot 100 Pop Singles chart, for the week ending May 12, 2018. This is one of those exciting weeks when we welcome a Hot Shot Debut in the Top Five. Number 5: Post Malone & Ty Dolla $ign "Psycho" Let's open in fifth place, where Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign dip a notch with "Psycho."  Post's "Beerbongs & Bentleys" album tops the latest Billboard 200 chart, after posting 2018's best first-week sales. It opened with 461,000 total copies — the best showing since Taylor Swift's "Reputation" became an instant million-seller last November.

For the second straight year, LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers swept the Raptors in the NBA playoffs. The Cavs have beaten the Raptors in 10 consecutive playoff games dating back to 2016. That's the longest streak of its kind in league history. We do have some good news for Drake: He's still the champion of the Hot 100, as "Nice For What" spends a third week at No. 1.   Number 1: Drake "Nice For What" Drake reigns atop the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week with "Nice For What." Rihanna recently told Vogue that she and Drake were no longer friends … and he promptly unfollowed her on Instagram. Maybe they'll be friends again by next week. In any event, we'll return and we hope you will, too.
