THE NUMBER ONES looks at 14-year-old Little Peggy March's dizzy, lovestruck "I Will Follow Him."

REGGIE LEWIS, who produced Madonna, Miles Davis, Lou Rawls and more, has died at 65.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Deadpool 2 tops the chart with 125MM, a few million less than the original, which might be expected after weeks and weeks of the MCU dominating theaters, but maybe a little concerning with Solo set to dominate the holiday weekend.  Avengers: Infinity War places with 28.7MM on a 53 percent drop, suggesting it will pass 650MM domestic, but probably not 700MM.  Book Club shows with a surprising 12.5MM (against a reported 10MM budget), in an example of successful counter-programming.   Life of the Party skids 57 percent to make 7.7MM in its second weekend, taking the fourth slot (and recouping its reported 30MM production budget).  Breaking In skids a harder 63 percent to round out theTop Five with 6.5MM, but 28.8MM domestic against a 6MM budget looks pretty good.

KarlTHE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

...with POWER POP! A few of these may be known generally, like Cheap Trick's "Way of the World" and Nick Lowe's "Cruel to Be Kind"... and some well-known to fans of the genre, like Dwight Twilley's "I'm On Fire," Shoes "Too Late," The Records' "Starry Eyes," the Flamin' Groovies' "Shake Some Action" and the Plimsouls'  "A Million Miles Away" (seen here in a rare live slot).  Others are well-known to longtime Pate fans, like the Three O'Clock's "Her Head's Revolving" or Let's Active's "Waters Part."

BROWNOUT advance streams Fear of a Brown Planet.

BEACH SLANG frontman James Alex is streaming the stripped-down Quiet Slang.

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS stops by WNYC Soundcheck for a chat and mini-set.

THE LONE BELLOW stops bby WNYC Soundcheck for a chat and mini-set.

NINE INCH NAILS shares "God Break Down The Door."

RAY LaMONTAGNE shares "To The Sea."

BRAM TCHAIKOVSKY: "Girl Of My Dreams" and "Lady From the USA", live. Because it's Power Pop Friday, of course.

JOHN LYDON reflects on the death of Sid Vicious.

POP MUSIC seems to have become a lot more sad on the whole over the last 30 years.

HOW TOM WOLFE Changed Music Journalism.

THE NUMBER ONES looks at the Chiffons' girl-group nugget "He's So Fine."

NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide releases include Deadpool 2, which is currently scoring 85 percent on the ol' Tomatometer; Show Dogs, which was not screened for critics; and Book Club, scoring 64 percent.

DEADPOOL 2, btw, does the things that made the original so good, but differently.  That's no small acievement.  Comedy is generally tougher than drama (or action) and the sequel by definition loses the element of surprise.  So the film throws in enough surprises, right from the start, to make a sequel close to as entertaining as the first.  Stay for the credits sequences; there's a big, funny cameo, and if you stick to the end you'll get an answer to a question I was asking myself during the third act brawl.

OBI-WAN KENOBI may get the next Star Wars standalone picture.

ELTON JOHN will take the stage at the royal wedding?
