'Lean On' doing so well :heart: Safe to say it's actually top 40 on sales this week though so we're still yet to see a top 40 hit that never got there on sales alone.
So pleased 'Lean On' is sticking around, one of the best songs in the chart at the moment, and one I would never have called to be anything more than a one-week charter if that. :o
This track is not that bad actually. Its taken a while for the track to stick with me

Biography

Cleverly using dance music blogs as the platform to launch his career, Tim Berg, aka Avicii, has since become one of the most prominent producers on the burgeoning Swedish house scene. Born in Stockholm in 1989, Berg only started making music at the age of 18, writing and remixing tracks in his bedroom and then leaking them onto various blogs. Influenced by Daft Punk and Steve Angello, his melodic house sound gained a huge following, and led to support from Tiësto, who invited him to perform a weekly residency at Privilege in Ibiza, and Pete Tong, who released first single "Manman" through his Bedroom Bedlam label. After he remixed tracks for Little Boots, Robyn, and Dizzee Rascal, Berg's first mainstream release, the Ministry of Sound instrumental "Seek Bromance," became a huge hit across Europe and later in the U.K., thanks to a vocal version featuring Amanda Wilson. In 2012 he released the song "2 Million" after reaching that number of followers on Facebook, while his single "Le7els" and its accompanying video were nominated at that year's MTV Music Video Awards. Towards the end of 2012 he released his highly-anticipated collaboration single with Nicky Romero. "I Could Be The One" was a smash hit and was featured heavily on reality TV shows and radio play across Europe. In 2013, Avicii teamed up with Ericsson and creates the first "crowdsourced" track which enabled the producer to connect to fans and promote his brand. The single "3 Million" was released to celebrate the 3 millionth fan on his Facebook page. "Le7els" was nominated for the Best Dance Recording at the 2013 Grammys but lost out to Skrillex & Sirah's "Bangarang". Ahead of his debut album #TRUE, he released the single "Wake Me Up" in June 2013. Featuring Aloe Blacc, it reached the top of the UK Charts and confidently showed off his new musical direction. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi / iTunes

Still not bored of The Nights

Edited by N-S

Got to love the longevity for Avicii~ :heart:
I'm so happy Major Lazer are smashing today, this hit me last week and I love it...fingers crossed for a top 10 peak soon
Fantastic rise for Lean On, should grow into quite a long running hit what with the huge streams! It's like a much better Turn Down For What.
Only 1 new entry so far...have Kodaline made it in? :unsure:

 

Wiz Khalifa is still to come :)
