Singles
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are staking a claim at the top similar to Justin Bieber’s recent month at #1. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Downtown” has been on top for three weeks now and has been in the chart for the same amount of time as Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” – seven weeks. Bieber hasn’t strayed far from the top either, he’s still lodged at #2.
Wollongong’s Cyrus Villanueve smashed into the top 10 at #6 with “Wicked Game” from The X Factor.
Other top 10 newcomers were Rudimental with “Lay It All On Me” up from #11 to #7.
Dawin’s “Dessert” climbed from #17 to #8 in its slow climb to the top (eight weeks), while The Weeknd jumped from #12 to #10 on an even slower chart assault (20 weeks).
Jess Glynne meanwhile is nearly top 10 with “Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself”, climbing from #24 to #13 after nine weeks.
Another track taking some time in the chart is “679” from Fetty Wap featuring Remy Boyz which lifted from #70 to #27 after 13 weeks.
This week’s only other top 50 chart newcomer was The 1975 with “Love Me”.
A promo tour from Little Mix made a dent in the chart with “Love Me Like You Do” up from #100 to #36 in its third week.
Selena Gomez is back in the 50 with “Same Old Love” up from #76 to #44, not quite equalling its previous peak of #42.
