We’re going through another of those phases when all the X-books are in mid-storyline (not least because the three core X-Men titles are in the middle of a supposed crossover that isn’t actually crossing over), and with one thing or another I’ve been distracted from following up some of the other regulars, but we should be getting back to a more normal posting schedule over the next week or so.  In the meantime, on the singles chart, all is quiet – three new entries, all outside the top 30.

1.  Drake featuring Wizkid and Kyla – “One Dance”

And that’s twelve weeks.  This is entirely due to continued streaming popularity – at this point, “One Dance” is number 9 on the pure sales chart – and there are starting to be murmurings that the chart compilers may be looking again at the weighting of sales to streams.  Time will tell whether these sorts of extended runs are going to be the new normal in the current era, but it does seem to be something of a fluke, given more normal turnover of records at number 2 over the same period: “Cheap Thrills” by Sia (3 weeks), “This is What You Came For” by Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna (2 weeks), “Can’t Stop The Feeling” by Justin Timberlake (4 weeks) and “This Girl” by Kungs vs Cookin’ on Three Burners (3 weeks).

3.  Drake featuring Rihanna – “Too Good”

Not many new entries this week, but to be fair, there are a decent number of climbers.  This one has been in the top 10 since May, but it’s reaching a new peak.  “Controlla” is a non-mover this week at 23, and “Work” by Rihanna featuring Drake holds steady at 35.  Rihanna is also on “This is What You Came For”, which is still at 4.  So, you know, tremendous diversity in the top 40.  This week’s top 40 also includes two Calvin Harris records, three with Zara Larsson, and two by Jonas Blue.

6.  Adele – “Send My Love To Your New Lover”

Probably helped by the BBC covering her headlining appearance at Glastonbury, this climbs from 15 – the album goes back to number 1 as well, for what that’s worth these days, which isn’t much.  This has now beaten the number 9 peak of her previous single “When We Were Young” and gives her a total of eight top 10 hits.

12.  Calum Scott – “Dancing on my Own”

Up another four places.  Although this is an independent release, Scott has now signed to a proper label who are presumably now giving him some promotional support.

15.  Dua Lipa – “Hotter Than Hell”

This has moved 18-17-15, which is achingly slow, but at least it’s upwards – which probably is enough to count as a successful launch.

16.  The Chainsmokers featuring Daya – “Don’t Let Me Down”

Climbing from 24 to give them a third top 20 hit.  They’ve yet to make the top 10.

19.  Coldplay – “Hymn for the Weekend”

Rebounding from number 30 thanks to Glastonbury coverage.  This peaked at number 6 in March, but it never quite left the top 40.  The current single is meant to be “Up & Up”, but it’s struggling to get traction, and it languishes at number 71 this week.  It’s, well, very Coldplay, but it does have an technically impressive video.

22.  Ariana Grande – “Into You”

This has gone 40-34-26-22.  She’s had bigger hits but this is doing alright for the third single from an album.

26.  Kent Jones – “Don’t Mind”

Climbing from last week’s number 39, so this week’s highest climber.

29.  Shawn Mendes – “Treat You Better”

This entered at number 31 on 16 June, dropped out of the top 40, and then immediately started climbing back up again.  It’s still miles off the number 1 he got with “Stitches”.  It still doesn’t have an official video, but since I mentioned it, it does at least have an official live version on YouTube.

34.  Dizzee Rascal featuring Calvin Harris – “Hype”

Y0ur highest new entry!  No video for this yet, so I imagine it’s going to climb.  These two previously collaborated on “Dance Wiv Me”, a number 1 in 2008.  Dizzee Rascal has five number ones to his credit, but the last one was six years ago now.  Admittedly, aside from a cameo earlier in the year, he hasn’t released anything since 2013.  Presumably this is the lead single from a new album, but nobody seems to have actually said as much.

38.  Jonas Blue featuring JP Cooper – “Perfect Strangers”

The follow up to the thunderously unnecessary cover of “Fast Car”, which is still sitting at 36.  This one is an original song, and it’s passable off-the-peg tropical house.  JP Cooper, making his first chart appearance, is a songwriter signed to Island.  His own stuff is a bit more interesting.

40.  Christine & The Queens – “Tilted”

That’s the English-language version of the track I used for the album last week.  Incidentally, the video is part of a series of colour-coded videos for tracks from the album – “Saint Claude” is basically the same idea on a red version of the same set, “Jonathan” is purple, “Paradis Perdus” seems to be grey, I guess…

On the album chart… not much, because everyone leaves this way clear for resurgent sales on Glastonbury albums, which I can’t be bothered listing.

• “25” by Adele returns to number 1, partly because of Glastonbury and partly because its streaming exclusivity period has ended.  “21” re-enters at 10, and “19” at 12.
• “Earth” by Neil Young & Promise of the Real is the highest new entry at 14.  A follow-up to last year’s extraordinarily heavy-handed album “The Monsanto Years”.  Strictly, this was released the previous week, but as a Tidal streaming exclusive, which did not trouble the chart in the slightest.  It’s the CD release that gets into the chart now.  Being a Tidal exclusive, there’s nothing to link to, so here’s a track from the previous album.
• “The Mountain Will Fall” by DJ Shadow at 19.  This is his highest place since “The Private Press” made number 8 in 2002.  Single: “The Sideshow”.  A performance video for a DJ, you don’t see that often.
