The Scott Music Report: August 18, 2017

Four weeks in a row: "Wild Thoughts" by DJ Khaled featuring Rihanna & Bryson Tiller holds strong at the top of the charts, while French Montana and Swae Lee's "Unforgettable" climbs back into the runner-up position. At number three, "Feels" by Calvin Harris featuring Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean climbs into the top ten for the first time and becomes the sole new entry into this week's top ten. At number four, Imagine Dragons climbs three places with "Thunder", while last week's number two from Little Mix and Stormzy with "Power" drops three places to this week's number five. At number six, Liam Payne reaches a new peak with "Strip That Down" featuring Quavo, while Dua Lipa and Miguel retreat three places to number seven with "Lost In Your Light". At number eight, Shawn Mendes reaches a new peak with "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back", while "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee drops three places. Closing out the top ten this week is "Bad Liar" by Selena Gomez at number ten, which drops five places from its peak of number five. 

Elsewhere on the chart, pop megastar P!nk returns this week with "What About Us" and registers the week's highest new entry at number sixty two. She most recently peaked at number twenty eight with "Waterfall", a track which also featured Stargate and Sia, but since her debut back in 2000, how many entries has she clogged up? Since her first entry in May 2000 with "There You Go" (peaked at #4), P!nk has registered a total of 37 chart hits, five of which were number ones (2001's "Lady Marmalade" featuring Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim & Mya, 2002's "Get The Party Started" and "Just Like A Pill", 2008's "So What", and 2013's "Just Give Me A Reason" featuring Nate Ruess). This week also sees a further five new entries from Martine McCutcheon at number sixty eight with "Say I'm Not Alone" (registered her first chart entry in sixteen years), Louis Tomlinson & Bebe Rexha featuring Digital Farm Animals with "Back To You" (#86), James Hype featuring Kelli-Leigh with "More Than Friends" (#90), The Script with "Rain" (#93), and Declan McKenna with "Humongous" (#94). Bebe Rexha registers the week's highest climber of twenty five places to #73 with "The Way I Are (Dance With Somebody)" featuring Lil Wayne, while Linkin Park and Kiiara log the week's biggest freefaller with "Heavy" at #39, which drops twenty six places from last week's number thirteen.
