Once again, the charts are refreshingly keen to make my life easy by having not very much happen.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Drake featuring Wizkid & Kyla – “One Dance”<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n That’s nine weeks. \u00a0Just one more needed to match “Umbrella”‘s ten-week run from 2007. \u00a0I’ve\u00a0already explained why the change to\u00a0streaming data, which has slowed down the charts generally, means that this isn’t\u00a0strictly comparable, but it’s still impressive. \u00a0If it\u00a0does<\/em> manage to match “Umbrella” – and the midweeks say it won’t, but you never know – then the next record in sight will be the epic 15 week run of Wet Wet Wet’s “Love Is All Around” in 1994. \u00a0<\/p>\n 4. \u00a0Kungs vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners – “This Girl”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n So, yeah. \u00a0There’s not\u00a0much going in the top half of the chart, but I did say that if I went back to weekly then some of these would be short. \u00a0But\u00a0let’s note the climbers. \u00a0This is up\u00a010-4, and the midweeks have it set to\u00a0reach number 1 next Sunday. \u00a0We’ll see.<\/p>\n 5. \u00a0Clean Bandit featuring Louisa Johnson – “Tears”<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Up 1, so some sighs of relief in the Cowell camp. \u00a0Still no\u00a0video for this, either.<\/p>\n
