New entries this week come from James Arthur, Ed Sheeran, Joel Corry and more! After releasing his debut album 'Another Friday Night', Joel's 'Hey DJ' is new at Number 39.
When Joel joined us last week, he proclaimed that his song of the summer came from Peggy Gou with 'It Goes Like (Na Na Na)'. If Peggy is this summer's song of the summer, who are you rooting for as 2023's song of the winter?
