19.) Liam Payne f/Quavo - "Strip That Down"

Lead Single, TBA

Chart Run: 46-40-31-29-23-23-20-19-...(8 weeks)

 

 

And here we have one of the endless Quavo features that have been made throughout the last few weeks, with the highest of them still to come. This is also not the highest 1D side project on the chart. The drastic change in sound for Liam was definitely worth it.

 

18.) Zedd f/Alessia Cara - "Stay"

Lead Single, TBA

Chart Run: 3-3-1-1-1-1-1-2-2-3-3-5-6-7-9-9-11-13-16-18... (20 weeks)

 

 

A song that spent five weeks at #1 and is already a front runner for the biggest song of the year ends up at #18 this week. "Stay" currently logs in its 20th week on the chart, currently one of the longest stays in the top 20.

 

17.) Major Lazer f/Travi$ Scott, Camila Cabello & Quavo - "Know No Better"

4th Single, Music Is The Weapon

Chart Run: 43-27-21-17-... (4 weeks)

 

 

The highest Quavo entry is a track from Major Lazer, who last year smashed the charts with "Cold Water". With ex-5H member Camila Cabello on the chorus, could this be on track for bigger things?

 

16.) Camila Cabello - "Crying In The Club"

Lead Single, The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving.

Chart Run: 49-46-40-33-27-21-18-16-... (8 weeks)

 

 

It's a double Camila feature as her solo debut, "Crying In The Club" climbs a few more spots to #16.

Chart Contender Of The Week #4: Nytrix - "Love Never Died"

 

 

The next breakout contender comes from upcoming dubstep producer Nytrix, who gained a bit of a cult following over the past few months and has now broken through to the mainstream.

 

15.) Fifth Harmony f/Gucci Mane - "Down"

Lead Single, TBA

Chart Run: 43-31-21-18-15-15-... (6 weeks)

 

 

The rest of Fifth Harmony is still trucking along at #15 (but considerably slowing down) with their latest single "Down".

 

14.) Clean Bandit f/Zara Larsson - "Symphony"

6th Single, So Good

Chart Run: 47-35-31-30-25-20-18-14-13-13-10-10-9-10-14... (15 weeks)

 

 

Clean Bandit ends up dropping out of the top 10 after spending four weeks there, three of them being at #10.

 

13.) Miley Cyrus - "Malibu"

Lead Single, TBA

Chart Run: 6-3-2-3-2-4-5-9-13... (9 weeks)

 

 

Miley Cyrus returns to the chart after not being present for the past two years, and smashed through to the top 10 in its debut. The flame has burned out for this track, but let's just listen to it for now.

 

12.) Shawn Mendes - "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back"

3rd Single, Illuminate

Chart Run: 43-30-23-17-8-6-7-8-7-9-12... (11 weeks)

 

 

We now move on to the latest single from Shawn Mendes and his latest upbeat smash, which seems to be taking off more in the US than in the U.K. I'll definitely have whatever he's having.

 

11.) Luis Fonsi f/Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber - "Despacito"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 44-29-9-2-1-1-2-3-5-8-7-11... (12 weeks)

 

 

Just last month, Despacito became the first song partially in a foreign language to top the chart for a couple of years. Seems like having Bieber on the line worked to its favor.

We have four top 10 entries this week!

Hi Cody,

 

Great to see Kesha and Cash Cash enter!

 

Feel It Still is really good too!

 

Good climbs for Jax Jones, Calvin, Sigala and Lines :heart:

 

10.) CMC$ & Conor Maynard - "Understand Me"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 34-22-14-10-... (4 weeks)

 

 

The biggest Conor Maynard-related single comes from a surprise release in Understand Me, a song that was the lowest debut in his name before this week.

 

9.) Imagine Dragons - "Believer"

Lead Single, Evolve

Chart Run: 50-41-30-24-22-17-14-13-9-... (9 weeks)

 

 

The last time Imagine Dragons charted... they didn't do as well. It's safe to say that this more brash and powerful style worked in their favor.

8.) Bruno Mars - "Versace On The Floor"

3rd Single, 24K Magic

Chart Run: 47-37-30-19-15-11-8-... (7 weeks)

 

 

David Guetta seems to be flopping with "2U"... but he sorta seems to be doing alright here. The original and Guetta's remix have been interchanged but for purposes of this countdown both will be highlighted.

 

7.) Cheat Codes f/Demi Lovato - "No Promises"

Non-album Single

Chart Run: 44-27-17-10-5-3-5-5-4-4-3-4-5-7... (14 weeks)

 

 

Demi Lovato is currently bringing a new sound to both her repertoire and her fans who have not heard her perform like this before. With this smashing the charts, it seems like this has paid off.

 

6.) Halsey - "Now Or Never"

Lead Single, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom

Chart Run: 49-41-38-35-32-25-22-16-10-7-5-2-3-3-6... (15 weeks)

 

 

Halsey has been killing it in the game lately, with a giant smash from "Closer" and a few smaller but still massive hits even before that. Since first appearing with "New Americana", she has been knocking it out of the park and peaking higher and higher almost every time. She recently reached her highest peak with this song, but will the next single reach #1?

Chart Contender Of The Week #4: Dua Lipa - "New Rules"

 

 

Dua Lipa currently has two top 10's under her belt but with this new single, could she be reaching a third? New Rules has the sound and the appeal, and the female empowerment angle could go to her benefit.

 

5.) Niall Horan - "Slow Hands"

2nd Single, TBA

Chart Run: 45-42-39-27-24-16-12-6-5-... (9 weeks)

 

 

Niall continues to make small initial gains that transform into large moves and a high peak, and his latest single is no exception, as it moved all the way to #5 despite scratching the top 40 by its third week.
