last year, so if he can manage another week, he&#8217;ll set a personal record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>33. \u00a0Jason Derulo &amp; David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj &amp; Willy William &#8211; &#8220;Goodbye&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d-mZwL4Bh6E\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block;

by Sarah Brightman &amp; Andrea Bocelli<\/a>, the plodding pop-operatic ballad which reached number 2 in 1997. \u00a0That, in turn, was, in turn, a cover of Bocelli&#8217;s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J1needAV_NQ&amp;frags=pl%2Cwn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Con Te Partir\u00f2&#8221;<\/a>, which was a number one hit the previous year in France and Belgium (but not in Italy, where they would have actually understood the lyrics). \u00a0As for this&#8230; well, it&#8217;s\u00a0the sort of record that makes you wonder if Scooter might have done a better job of it.<\/p>\n<p>The odd artist credit is because it&#8217;s going to appear on both the upcoming Jason Derulo album, and the David Guetta album &#8220;7&#8221;, which is out this week. \u00a0It reaches number 9 on the album chart &#8211;\u00a0roughly where his previous album landed in 2014, so no great surprises there, and his fourth top ten album going back to 2009. \u00a0Willy William, if you&#8217;ve forgotten, is the French guy who was on &#8220;Mi Gente&#8221; with J Balvin.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, the chart compilers are counting this as a Jason Derulo single, so it doesn&#8217;t count towards Guetta&#8217;s three song cap. \u00a0In practice it makes no difference, because the only other album track to make the top 40 is current single &#8220;Don&#8217;t Leave Me Alone&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. \u00a0Sigala, Ella Eyre &amp; Meghan Trainor featuring French Montana &#8211; &#8220;Just Got Paid&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mCYwONZYiUc\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Are we just picking artists from a hat or something? \u00a0Sigala and Ella Eyre worked together on last year&#8217;s &#8220;Came Here For Love&#8221;, and that was top ten. \u00a0French Montana, fair enough. \u00a0Meghan Trainor, though? \u00a0Really? \u00a0She could use the profile &#8211; she hasn&#8217;t had a hit since 2016, and a single earlier this year crashed out at 70 &#8211; but she&#8217;s an odd fit with these guys. \u00a0The song is a &#8220;going out to party on pay day&#8221; number, and it&#8217;s not great. \u00a0It&#8217;s going for funky but the vibe is closer to <em>Saturday Night Takeaway<\/em>. \u00a0A bit too clean, maybe.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s it for new entries. \u00a0This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Happier&#8221; by Marshmello featuring Bastille<\/strong> climbs 6-5. \u00a0That&#8217;s Marshmello&#8217;s third top five hit, and Bastille&#8217;s fourth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;In My Mind&#8221; by Dynoro &amp; Gigi D&#8217;Agostino<\/strong> climbs 14-8.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Electricity&#8221; by Silk City featuring Dua Lipa<\/strong> climbs 15-10. \u00a0Her sixth top ten hit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Rap Devil&#8221; by Machine Gun Kelly<\/strong> climbs 31-15, which I didn&#8217;t see coming. \u00a0Eminem&#8217;s rebuttal &#8220;Killshot&#8221; has also been given a full release, but his three-song quota is already maxed out by &#8220;Lucky You&#8221; at 7, &#8220;Fall&#8221; at 13, and &#8220;Ringer&#8221; at 17. \u00a0If it wasn&#8217;t for the three-song rule, &#8220;Killshot&#8221; would apparently have been number 21.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Leave Me Alone&#8221; by David Guetta featuring Anne-Marie<\/strong> climbs 23-18. \u00a0The other David Guetta single of the moment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;High Hopes&#8221; by Panic at The Disco<\/strong> climbs 22-20, finally giving them a second top twenty hit after a ten year gap. \u00a0This is in its ninth week on the top 40 and still climbing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Be Alright&#8221; by Dean Lewis<\/strong> climbs 27-22.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Thunderclouds&#8221; by LSD<\/strong> climbs 24-23.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Lost Without You&#8221; by Freya Ridings<\/strong> climbs 26-25.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Beautiful&#8221; by Bazzi featuring Camila Cabello<\/strong> climbs 37-36.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Kamikaze&#8221; by Eminem<\/strong> is number one for a third week. \u00a0And to make up for the quiet singles chart, we have a deluge of new albums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. \u00a0Paul Weller &#8211;
