Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I always wonder how big is your pool. "This is the pick by my friend's friend's brother's friend's nephew's roommate."
This week's surprises. 69 is a huge one. 45 I would have expected 30-40 peak and @ 45 not that far off.

No serious surprises.
More disappointing than surprises. I'd have hoped that they would have broken 40 too.

"Weird Science" peaked at this position.
"And She Was" peaked at #54.
