I.M making an appearance at number 2. I listened to Don't Speak a few times and played it for my mom. I'm almost certain that the race for number 1 artist was so close it could go either way next month. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kpop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kpop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/seventeen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>seventeen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/svt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>svt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/monstax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monstax</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/poppunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poppunk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alltimelow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alltimelow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/top5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>top5</span></a></p>
