not the sales number one either. \u00a0It&#8217;s actually 4 on sales and\u00a06 on the streaming chart, but the top end of the streaming chart is clogged with long-running hits that get downweighted on the top 40 proper.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Bieber now has four singles in the top 10 &#8211; mostly as a guest, which is why he isn&#8217;t caught by the three-song cap that was introduced earlier in the year. \u00a0He&#8217;s also on the UK release of &#8220;Despacito&#8221; at 7, David Guetta&#8217;s &#8220;2U&#8221; at 38, and DJ Khaled&#8217;s &#8220;I&#8217;m The One&#8221; at 39. \u00a0 Bloodpop\u00ae &#8211; I know, I know &#8211; is producer Michael Tucker, getting his first chart credit. \u00a0He&#8217;s worked with Bieber before and had a big hand in Lady Gaga&#8217;s last album. \u00a0The record is above-average EDM pop, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>Number 4 is <strong>&#8220;What About Us&#8221; by Pink<\/strong>, climbing one place. \u00a0She spends a second week at number one of the sales chart, but she&#8217;s still lagging badly in streams &#8211; the streaming chart has her at 28.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. \u00a0CNCO &amp; Little Mix &#8211; &#8220;Reggaeton Lento&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7jpqqBX-Myw\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In which Simon Cowell hurls himself full force at a passing bandwagon. \u00a0Taking a Spanish-language hit and nailing on an English-language verse by a familiar name worked just fine for &#8220;Despacito&#8221;, and did okay for &#8220;Subeme La Radio&#8221;, where Cowell already bolted on some Matt Terry for the UK release. \u00a0But it turns out that Cowell has a Spanish-language boy band of his very own. \u00a0CNCO\u00a0were the product of 2015&#8217;s Univision show\u00a0<em>La Banda<\/em>, as promoted by Ricky Martin and you-know-who. \u00a0The band are signed to Sony Latin, and they&#8217;ve had a respectable career so far in their target markets. \u00a0But now the door seems to be open for Spanish language pop, so behold, here&#8217;s a year-old track polished up with a bit of Little Mix.<\/p>\n<p>In the hybrid version, there&#8217;s a lot of Little Mix, and a fair amount of CNCO themselves singing in England. \u00a0They&#8217;re based in the States, so you can see why Cowell might figure there&#8217;s an opening here to get them into the Anglophone market. \u00a0There&#8217;s no video for that version, though, so you can enjoy the original above (which is much better). \u00a0In this form, it was indeed a big hit in Latin America (and Spain), so you can see why someone might think the time for international promotion has come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Mi Gente&#8221; by J Balvin &amp; Willy William\u00a0<\/strong>climbs 12-8, and\u00a0<strong>&#8220;More Than Friends&#8221; by James Hype featuring Kelli-Leigh<\/strong> moves 16-10. \u00a0<strong>&#8220;Bestie&#8221;

the first two didn&#8217;t chart, so evidently this one has some appeal beyond the brand name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Praying&#8221; by Kesha<\/strong> climbs one more place to 26, and\u00a0<strong>&#8220;More Than You Know&#8221; by Axwell \/\\ Ingrosso<\/strong> is up 38-33.<\/p>\n<p><strong>36. \u00a0Macklemore featuring Skylar Grey &#8211; &#8220;Glorious&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7OrLroFa0AI\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a name we haven&#8217;t seen in a while. \u00a0The album with &#8220;Thrift Shop&#8221; on it came out back in 2012, though he got three top ten hits out of it in 2013. \u00a0He did have a number 11 hit with &#8220;Downtown&#8221; in 2015, but now we&#8217;re on to the lead single from another album. \u00a0Ryan Lewis is no longer involved. \u00a0Skylar Grey similarly hasn&#8217;t turned up in the chart since she appeared on a David Guetta track in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently that&#8217;s really his grandmother in the video, though I&#8217;m politely sceptical about any video which claims to be &#8220;we just went out and filmed whatever&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. \u00a0Camila Cabello featuring Young Thug &#8211;
