‘Sorry Not Sorry,’ the lead single from Demi Lovato‘s sixth album, ‘Tell Me You Love Me,’ is still enjoying much love from radio and streaming outlets some 6 months after its release.  First impacting charts in July 2017, the Oak Felder-produced cut is still in the top 20 on the Hot 100 and showing no real signs of slowing down.
