Welcome to the exciting new era of\u00a0marginally tweaked chart rules. \u00a0If you weren’t reading last week, the changes are\u00a0basically that\u00a0acts are limited to three hits at a time (“featuring” credits don’t count\u00a0towards the cap), and tracks which\u00a0have been out for ten weeks and are comfortably past their peak will see their streams downweighted to\u00a0stop them clogging up the charts\u00a0just because\u00a0the same people have still got them on playlists. \u00a0Does it make a\u00a0difference? \u00a0Well… a bit.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber – “Despacito”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Exhibit A: an eighth week at number one for “Despacito”. \u00a0\u00a0“Mama” by Jonas Blue featuring William Singe<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0edges up one place to number 4 (continuing\u00a0a glacially slow climb which included\u00a0three weeks stuck at number six), and aside from that it’s a lot of rebounding.<\/p>\n 6. \u00a0Calvin Harris featuring Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean – “Feels”<\/strong><\/p>\n
