The good news: with Walk Off The Earth at number six and Whitehorse at number eight, both are in the top half of the chart for the first time!
The bad news: the Radio 2 Top 20 is still only a one-hour broadcast.
Also this week, Christina Martin keeps her champion status as winner of the online vote for "Falling For You" -- this is the fifth time straight! And Serena Ryder keeps her number one spot for the eighth straight week!
The Lumineers enter the chart with a new single, "Stubborn Love," which they performed last week on Saturday Night Live. But forget Saturday. It's Friday and that means it's time for the Top 20. Click the play button to listen!
