a guitar band who strenuously insist that they are not a boy band, but\u00a0toured as a supporting act for One Direction. \u00a0Normally this means something like Lawson, but 5 Seconds seem to genuinely want to\u00a0position themselves somewhere in the region of Blink 182\u00a0or early Green Day. \u00a0&#8220;She&#8217;s Kinda Hot&#8221; is a perfectly respectable single in that vein, and you probably wouldn&#8217;t guess it as a boy band product if you heard it blind. \u00a0But the demographic reality is against them; they&#8217;re a fan base act, and\u00a0while they&#8217;ve had three previous top ten hits, including the\u00a0number 1 &#8220;She Looks So Perfect&#8221;, their records enter high and plummet. \u00a0This was number 6 in the midweeks;\u00a0it will be out of the top 40 next week. \u00a0There are surprisingly few bands whose records still\u00a0behave like this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. \u00a0Calvin Harris &amp; Disciples &#8211; &#8220;How Deep is Your Love&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qWWSM3wCiKY?rel=0\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the\u00a0first single from Harris&#8217;s\u00a0next album, a collaboration with the producers Disciples. \u00a0This apparently started off as one of their songs, which might explain why it sounds more house-y than your typical Calvin Harris track. \u00a0Or then he might be re-tooling for the next album. \u00a0 Disciples are making their second appearance on the chart, after getting\u00a0to number 24 earlier this year with <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/s-kJU21Flr0\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;They Don&#8217;t Know&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Number 7 is surprisingly low for the first single from a new Calvin Harris album, but bear in mind that this is a soft launch with\u00a0little advance publicity &#8211; \u00a0it looks set to hang around for a bit. \u00a0The uncredited singer is Ina Wroldsen, who&#8217;s a member of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vLbvLwxI0p8\" target=\"_blank\">Ask Embla<\/a>, and\u00a0also has a pretty extensive songwriting career for the likes of the Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. \u00a0John Newman &#8211;
