Black Beatles' Mannequin Challenge boost failed to deliver it the top spot


Clean Bandit are at the top of the UK Official Singles Chart for the third week in a row.

The group's 'Rockabye', featuring Anne-Marie and Sean Paul, fended off competition from the Mannequin Challenge song 'Black Beatles' by Rae Sremmurd featuring Gucci Mane.

'Rockabye' managed combined sales of 74,000, and was also the most streamed and most purchased track of the week, earning 31,000 downloads and 4.3 million streams.

Behind it at No.2 is 'Black Beatles', which shot up from No.4 in part due to its use in the Mannequin Challenge videos being uploaded by everyone from Beyoncé to the England football team.

Little Mix, who have just claimed their first ever UK No.1 album with Glory Days, stay at No.3 with 'Shout Out To My Ex', followed by fellow X Factor veteran James Arthur with 'Say You Won't Let Go'. Bruno Mars rounds off the Top 5 with '24K Magic'.

A new entry to the Top 20 this week is Swedish DJ Nevada with his Fetty Wap-featuring track 'The Mack', which moves up to 17.

The Weeknd has also scored three spots in the Top 40, with 'I Feel It Coming' featuring Daft Punk at 18, 'Party Monster' at 33 and 'Starboy' (again with Daft Punk) the highest-placed at No.8.
