so this peaked at number 5 last month. \u00a0A couple of weeks ago, they released the remix above, with an extra verse by Beyonce. \u00a0The proceeds from that version are going to hurricane relief charities. \u00a0Although the track climbed 16-14 last week, it&#8217;s taken a little while for the full impact to feed through to the chart because of a quirk of the new chart rules. \u00a0As I&#8217;ve explained many times before, the rules now downweight the streams of tracks which have been out for more than ten weeks and are several weeks past their peak. \u00a0&#8220;Mi Gente&#8221; was already in that category when the new mix was released.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it did occur to the rule designers that the downweighting needed to be reversible, but they didn&#8217;t make it especially easy. \u00a0Basically, a track has to reverse its decline for several weeks running before it&#8217;s reverted to the normal streaming ratio. \u00a0Labels can also request a manual reset, but only on tracks which have dropped out of the top 100 altogether &#8211; that&#8217;s intended to allow a clean start for album tracks which charted on the week of release and dropped straight out, if they&#8217;re promoted as singles later. \u00a0The result is a delay before a new mix is fully reflected on the top 40, and no doubt they&#8217;ll be adding this to the big pile of things to think about in the next rulebook review.<\/p>\n<p>The usual batch of climbers:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5Wiio4KoGe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;What Lovers Do&#8221;

album &#8211; well, mixtape, if you prefer &#8211; &#8220;Wamp 2 Dem&#8221;, which enters the album chart at 2. \u00a0It is, shall we say, subtler musically than lyrically. \u00a0It&#8217;s his first hit single in his own right, though he guested on a couple of those Drake album tracks that swamped the chart in March. \u00a0His album track record is stronger, with three previous appearance on the albums top 40, including 2016&#8217;s &#8220;Landlord&#8221; making number 2.<\/p>\n<p>Donae&#8217;O is the singer on the chorus, but he&#8217;s also the producer. \u00a0He&#8217;s \u00a0charted before &#8211; he got third billing on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jwPhwJhPAQ4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Not a Saint&#8221;

yes, his post-Oasis band Beady Eye had a couple of albums, but there were other non-Gallagher Oasis members involved in that. \u00a0A previous single from the album, &#8220;Wall of Glass&#8221;, made number 21, though admittedly that had the advantage of being performed on the Manchester One Love charity concert. \u00a0Still, it&#8217;s unusual for acts like this to score two hit singles from album, even this far down the chart. \u00a0Nothing much has changed here from his previous style, but then that&#8217;s what people want from a Liam Gallagher album. \u00a0The sales have been remarkably high; it doesn&#8217;t take much to be the top-selling album these days, but &#8220;As You Were&#8221; would have managed it purely on its\u00a0<em>vinyl<\/em> sales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>38. \u00a0CamelPhat &amp;
