OneRepublic's amazing "Wherever I Go" slowly makes a new peak at #33, up three, while the forthcoming (at least in Germany) release of controversial comic-book movie Suicide Squad sees one of the soundtrack anthems making it inside the top 40. The song in question is called "Sucker for Pain" and is credited to (take a deep breath) Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Imagine Dragons, Logic, Ty Dolla $ign and X Ambassadors. It climbs nine to #34. "Heathens", twenty one pilots' own and simply great Suicide Squad song, is also on the rise. It can be found at #45, up from #53.
