Hey, we did a podcast, and it’s one post down!<\/a> \u00a0Meanwhile, it’s Dua Lipa Week on the\u00a0UK top 40.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Ed Sheeran – “Shape of You”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Fourth week, and “Castle on the\u00a0Hill” is still at number 2. \u00a0Nothing else is particularly close, so this could last a while yet. \u00a0The album “x” rebounds to number 4, and “+” is back up to 21, because people really really like Ed Sheeran. \u00a0Maybe he’s\u00a0an oasis of calm in uncertain\u00a0times.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0The Chainsmokers – “Paris”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Up two, making this their third top five hit.<\/p>\n

10. \u00a0Sean Paul featuring Dua Lipa – “No Lie”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Up one. \u00a0It’s his eighth top ten hit as a lead artist. \u00a0More to the point, it’s also the first top ten appearance for Dua Lipa, who is having a\u00a0very<\/em> good week on the chart, as illustrated by…<\/p>\n

11. \u00a0Dua Lipa – “Be The One”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

… which is up ten places, for this week’s highest climber. \u00a0Remember, this one died on its first release a year ago, despite doing decently well abroad – and they\u00a0did<\/em> promote it. \u00a0(Here she is plugging it on Radio 1\u00a0last January, for example.)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0But 2017 looks to be her year. \u00a0And it is a good single, which deserved\u00a0a second shot.<\/p>\n

13. \u00a0Zayn & Taylor Swift – “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)”<\/strong><\/p>\n
