It. \u00a0Will. \u00a0Not. \u00a0Die.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Drake featuring WizKid & Kyla – “One Dance”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n The eternal number one\u00a0just won’t go away. \u00a0Kungs’ “This Girl” spent four weeks at number 2, but this week it drops to number 5. \u00a0So Drake sees off another challenger. \u00a0And that’s fourteen weeks – matching the combined total of “Bohemian Rhapsody” across both its runs. \u00a0One more\u00a0week\u00a0and it\u00a0ties with “Love Is All Around”. \u00a0Sales\u00a0and streams\u00a0are<\/em> both dropping, so it has to stop some time…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. \u00a0The Chainsmokers featuring Daya – “Don’t Let Me Down”<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n There is at least some sign of the logjam of long-running hits starting to clear in the rest of the top 10. \u00a0So here’s the\u00a0next challenger – surely\u00a0this<\/em> one must stand a chance of making number 1? \u00a0“Don’t Let Me Down”\u00a0came out in April, finally registered in the top 40 in June,\u00a0and really started gathering pace over the last couple of weeks. \u00a0It moved 7-2 this week.<\/p>\n 3. \u00a0Jonas Blue featuring JP Cooper – “Perfect Strangers”<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This would have been number 1 on a pure sales chart. \u00a0Even on a\u00a0combination of\u00a0sales and streams, it’s up\u00a0thirteen, making it\u00a0the highest climber two weeks running. \u00a0So both of these records\u00a0have some genuine momentum.<\/p>\n
