the other one was <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/aaXDzh_zoqM\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Come Over&#8221;<\/a>, which somehow contrived to\u00a0splutter out at 45. \u00a0Made the top in Belgium, though.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second single from their upcoming album. \u00a0The strings seem now to be relegated to the start and end, but then\u00a0violinist Neil Amin-Smith has\u00a0left the band, leaving them\u00a0with the odd line-up of a producer, a drummer, and a cellist. \u00a0As usual, we have guest vocalists,\u00a0and though they&#8217;re credited on both YouTube and Spotify, for\u00a0some reason the Official Charts Company disagrees and is listing only the band. \u00a0Anyhow, it&#8217;s Sean Paul and Anne-Marie (her own single &#8220;Alarm&#8221; is still in\u00a0the chart at number 24). \u00a0The song is\u00a0one of those\u00a0&#8220;poverty-stricken mother strive\u00a0to provide a better life for her son&#8221; numbers. \u00a0The obvious risk when you&#8217;re Clean Bandit, and you\u00a0met at Cambridge and you&#8217;re fronted by a\u00a0cellist called Grace Chatto, is that this comes across as tourism. \u00a0And it kind of does, though\u00a0it&#8217;s got a decent enough hook. \u00a0I burst out laughing the first time I heard\u00a0Sean Paul pop up halfway through the first verse\u00a0to chip in &#8220;Daily struggle!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KkGVmN68ByU\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>15. \u00a0Shawn Mendes &#8211; &#8220;Mercy&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s a couple of climbers. \u00a0This one is up\u00a025 places, making it\u00a0the highest climber.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8gz9NsNH96Q\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>27. \u00a0Galantis &amp; Hook N Sling &#8211; &#8220;Love On Me&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Up 10. \u00a0The previous three singles all made the top 10, so a way to go yet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/2Vr6FETnu1h4ZoeU0f5XOS\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>37. \u00a0Drake &#8211; &#8220;Fake Love&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>New entry, but there&#8217;s no video for it. \u00a0If you search on Spotify for &#8220;Drake Fake Love&#8221; then this is, unsurprisingly, one of the top two results. \u00a0The other\u00a0is &#8220;Drake the Fake&#8221; by The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower, from their album &#8220;Love In The Fascist Brothel&#8221;, which is a little more unexpected. \u00a0This is one of two singles\u00a0from &#8220;More Life&#8221;, which apparently is not an album but a &#8220;playlist&#8221;. \u00a0What exactly that <em>means, <\/em>and how it differs from a digital-only mixtape, is anyone&#8217;s guess.<\/p>\n<p>On the album chart:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Wonder of You&#8221; by Elvis Presley<\/strong> at 1. \u00a0This is an album of Elvis Presley vocals with new backing tracks by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. \u00a0It&#8217;s the\u00a0<em>second<\/em> such album, after &#8220;If I Can Dream&#8221; reached number 1 last year. \u00a0What a time to be alive. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/EqkpIGsAqko\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;A Big Hunk o&#8217; Love&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Nobody But Me&#8221; by Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0at 2. \u00a0His ninth studio album, just in time for the run-up to Christmas. \u00a0Actually, it&#8217;s been three and a half years since the last one, so fair enough. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Fd8OSX7guKs\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s\u00a0the title track<\/a>,\u00a0in which one of the Roots unexpectedly pops\u00a0up to do a bit of rapping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Joanne&#8221; by Lady Gaga<\/strong> at 3. \u00a0Blimey. \u00a0The singles haven&#8217;t done well, and now the album slots in below an archive project and an easy listening album. \u00a0Granted, the\u00a0duets album with Tony Bennett only got to number 10,\u00a0but this is her first regular studio album not to make number 1.\u00a0 Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Xn599R0ZBwg\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Perfect Illusion&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;You Want It Darker&#8221; by Leonard Cohen<\/strong> at 4. \u00a0His 14th studio album, and very well received. \u00a0Cohen is now aged 82. \u00a0His albums still regularly get this high. \u00a0Single:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/okaqXB6Ns5s\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Traveling Light&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Aquostic II &#8211; That&#8217;s A Fact&#8221; by Status Quo<\/strong> at 7, because who doesn&#8217;t need two acoustic Status Quo albums? \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kSmWFKEg2wU\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;That&#8217;s A Fact&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Serenity of Suffering&#8221; by\u00a0Korn<\/strong> at 9. \u00a0Ah, Korn. \u00a0Subtle as ever. \u00a0You know what you&#8217;re getting with Korn. \u00a0This is their highest chart placing since &#8220;All Mixed\u00a0Up&#8221; in 2002. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6zMiISKntcY\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Take Me&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Lazarus &#8211; Original Cast Recording&#8221;<\/strong> at 10. \u00a0We don&#8217;t normally get soundtrack albums in the chart\u00a0because compilations are listed separately, but\u00a0cast recordings are apparently an exception because the cast is treated as a band. \u00a0Anyhow, this is a David\u00a0Bowie jukebox musical. \u00a0Here&#8217;s Michael C Hall singing\u00a0the\u00a0title track.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Trolls &#8211; Motion Picture Cast Recording&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>at 11. \u00a0Err&#8230; \u00a0alright. \u00a0This is really pushing it as an inclusion on the artist albums chart, but since all the artists are apparently in the film somewhere, it scrapes over the bar. \u00a0The single was Justin\u00a0Timberlake&#8217;s &#8220;Can&#8217;t Stop The Feeling&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Hacienda Classical&#8221; by Graeme Park, Mike Pickering &amp; Peter Hook<\/strong> at 14. \u00a0It&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;re thinking it is &#8211; an orchestra and a piano plus a drum machine. \u00a0Nothing on YouTube, but <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/2xGQ5cRxBFnOq1ZCOMyGda\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s the album on Spotify<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Integrity Blues&#8221; by Jimmy Eat World<\/strong> at 21. \u00a0Surprisingly, their highest chart position, beating 2004&#8217;s &#8220;Futures&#8221; by one place. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zZD_sHKrp4U\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;You With Me&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Who You Selling For&#8221; by\u00a0The Pretty Reckless<\/strong> at 23. \u00a0I just about remember their 2010 single &#8220;Make Me Wanna Die&#8221;, but\u00a0this is their third album. \u00a0The first two made the top 10, so a big drop off. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BQpZv2r8fb4\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Take Me Down&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Version of Me&#8221; by Melanie C<\/strong> at 25. \u00a0Yes, from the Spice Girls. \u00a0None of her solo albums have made the albums top 40 since &#8220;Beautiful Intentions&#8221; back in 2005, so this is actually quite a good\u00a0placing for her. \u00a0Yes, I know. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vK8b7uXm8ss\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Anymore&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Citizen of Glass&#8221; by Agnes Obel<\/strong> at 30. \u00a0She&#8217;s\u00a0big in Denmark. \u00a0This is her third album and her first to chart in the UK. \u00a0Single: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/32kYH6XZrIo\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Familiar&#8221;<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Alone&#8221;
