OPC Hits: Wiz Khalifa f/ Charlie Puth, "See You Again"

After falling from #2 to #6 last week, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth bounce back this week. Amidst the sea of new entries (highlighted by Fifth Harmony's "Worth It" featuring Kid Ink at #4 and Daisi Ise's "Nanja Monja Ninja Matsuri" at #6), their collaboration from the movie Furious 7 climbs back three spots, right in the middle of the upper half of the chart. Here's "See You Again" at #3:

Ed Sheeran, "Photograph" [OPC Hits 2015.5.10]

Ed Sheeran has released the latest single from his current album × (read as Multiply). While it might be difficult to replicate the success of his previous song "Thinking Out Loud," which hit #1 in fourteen countries and became a Top 10 hit almost everywhere else, this track's official music video (featuring the singer's childhood and adolescence home videos) is off to a good start, garnering over one million worldwide views in its first 24 hours. Here's the Capital FM Session of "Photograph," debuting at #2 on this week's OPC charts:

Top 10 Mayweather-Pacquiao Punchlines

The so-called "Fight of the Century" is done. The result: A unanimous decision victory for Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Technically, I do agree that he won, but still I found the fight unconvincing and underwhelming. With that, here are OPC's Top 10 Mayweather-Pacquiao Punchlines:

1. Pacquiao was rumored to wear jogging pants instead of shorts to make room for more sponsor logos. But he would still have lost. His jogging speed will still be slower than Mayweather's running.
2. Mayweather was overheard telling Pacquiao during the match: "You are actually the better fighter, but I am the better lover. So here are some hugs!"
3. Mayweather was again overheard telling Pacquiao during the match: "You may also be quick to punch, but I'm quicker to run!"
4. In an interview, Mayweather said: "I was actually just copying Pacquiao's technique. He ran in congress and won. So I tried running in the ring and I won too! Effective!"  
5. Rumor has it that Mayweather will retire in boxing so he can concentrate on his new sport: track and field!
6. Breaking news: The referee for the Mayweather-Pacquiao match has just been suspended! He was suspended for his failure to blow his whistle and call a travelling violation against Floyd.
7. It would have been better if the boxing referee was replaced by a traffic enforcer or a police officer. Hit and run would have gotten Mayweather arrested.
8. Mayweather said he gave a mediocre performance because he thought it still wasn't the actual fight. He thought it was just a rehearsal; he thought it was still a dry run.
9. Some people asked me to stop my Mayweather punchlines already. They've had enough. I responded: "PUNCH-lines? It's more like RUN-lines, right?!"
10. But before I stop, let me give you just one more punchline I haven't thrown yet. I haven't been able to throw it yet because... I've been busy running!

MercyMe, "Flawless" [OPC Hits 2015.5.03]

After debuting at #1 last week, MercyMe continues to be without blemish on the Praise Parade. Their encouraging and inspiring song is the third single from their eighth studio album Welcome to the New. It's a beautiful tune and video that tells us that no matter the mess, no matter the dirt, no matter the insecurities, no matter the challenges, no matter the hurt, Jesus has made you perfect through the cross. Here's "Flawless" on its second week at #1 on the OPC Hits chart:
