This is the Top Five Countdown. We're on the job with the five most popular songs in the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, for the week ending June 24, 2017.
One little change...that's what we have for you this week. It happens in fifth place, where Kendrick Lamar stumbles a slot with “Humble.”
Number 5: Kendrick Lamar "Humble"
On September 14, Kendrick will be in New York City for Rihanna's third annual Diamond Ball. The fundraising gala will benefit her charitable Clara Lionel Foundation – comedian Dave Chappelle will host. Kendrick and Rihanna recently shot the video for his single “Loyalty.”
British singer Ed Sheeran performs during the Italian State RAI TV program in Milan, Italy.
Number 4: Ed Sheeran " Shape Of You"
Last week, Kendrick knocked Ed Sheeran out of fourth place; this week, Ed takes it right back with “Shape Of You.”
On June 25, Ed will perform at England's famous Glastonbury Festival, and his backstage tour requests have leaked online. He wants Robinson's squash – that's a fruit drink – along with Fanta soda and a jar of Manuka honey, presumably to soothe his throat after performing.

Number 1: Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Bieber "Despacito"
Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber are your Hot 100 champs for a fifth week with “Despacito.”
Justin says he didn't memorize the Spanish lyrics he sang in this song, but composer Luis Fonsi says that's okay. Luis says Spanish isn't Justin's first language, and he chose to sing the Spanish lyrics in the recording studio.
