Major Lazer, MØ and Justin Bieber are Number 1 for a third consecutive week with Cold Water, fending off… Justin Bieber.
Justin’s new collaboration with DJ Snake Let Me Love You is a new entry at Number 2, boasting strong combined chart sales of 70,000. Despite LMLY being the most purchased single of the week with 40,000 sold, JB’s featured slot on Major Lazer’s track is still Number 1 with 93,000 combined chart sales, and was the most streamed song over the past seven days.
The rest of this week’s Top 5 are made up of music that all slips one place since last week. Calum Scott’s Dancing On My Own falls from 2 to 3, Jonas Blue and JP Cooper’s Perfect Strangers drops from 3 to 4, and The Chainsmokers’ Don’t Let Me Down featuring Daya slips one spot to 5.
