Taking over fourth place is Walk The Moon, with “Shut Up And Dance.” This humble Ohio band just scored a supreme musical honor: they’re opening a show for The Rolling Stones. It happens on July 8 at Comerica Park in Detroit. In a statement, singer Nick Petricca says “We’ve called our moms, we’ve bought new shoes, and we are honored and ecstatic to open for the legendary Rolling Stones.”

Another week, another runner-up finish for Fetty Wap. The New Jersey rapper remains within striking distance of the prize, as “Trap Queen” stays stuck at number two.

Pulse Nigeria reports that Fetty’s using African stars Davido, Wizkid, and Ice Prince…and Davido posted a video of Fetty confirming the collaboration.

Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth rule the Hot 100 for week number six with “See You Again.” Wiz Khalifa tells People Magazine that he would “die” if his two-year-old son Sebastian ever elected to cover his body in tattoos like his daddy…Wiz reportedly has more than 18.

That’s it for now, but the charts never sleep! We'll be back next week with another Top Five Countdown!
