Dua Lipa’s Be The One holds steady at the top spot by a fair margin. Be The One becomes the third consecutive #1 to hold the top spot for more than one week. She’s chased close this week by Lindsey Stirling, and an Ed Sheeran surge with last week’s highest new entry Castle on the Hill. Louis Tomlinson’s Just Hold On and Estelle’s 2012 oldie-but-goldie Break Your Heart ft. Rick Ross hold their positions at #4 and #5. It’s Louis Aoki’s impressive 4th consecutive week in the top 5 from its debut when it entered at #5, a position three of the current top 5 have held.

New entrants into the top 10 this week come from Snakehips and M0, Hydrogen Sea, Sia’s Move Your Body and Prides’ semi-Christmassy Tinseltown in the Rain. Just beyond, Mako and Natalola’s Run For Your Life yo-yos for a 4th consecutive week. Its 20-10-19-11 chart run so far is definitely a strange one. Also in the top 20, The Naked And Famous's Laid Low reaches a new peak this week in its second chart run. The XX's On Hold becomes this week's longest runner, clocking up 9 weeks across two runs, and re-entering into the top 20 this week following their album release. New entries full stop this week come from Tove Lo, Frenship, Ducktails, Rayvon Owen, Brookes Brothers, Dreezy, Saint Clair and Charli XCX, at varying places through the rundown. Next post will go more into those with wee introductions.
