3. Even older songs are making strides this week. Not surprising that Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" is the biggest gainer, going from #136 to #82 but beyond that, the Bee Gees score the highest re-entry with "Stayin' Alive" at #92. Meanwhile, the Cranberries' "Zombie" debuts at #190

2. Speaking of Bruno Mars, he's one of several artists seeing gains and re-entries for songs from roughly a decade ago. Among them, Shawn Mendes reaches the top 40 with "Treat You Better" and Katy Perry breaks into the top 20 with "The One That Got Away"

1. After a couple of months, we have a new number one: "BbY WOW" by Karol G, featuring Judeline and Rusowsky. Interesting that no other tracks off G's album are here, including her collabs with Drake and Bruno Mars (who are charting with their own songs). The riddim wins today
