The chart guidelines may have changed – but Justin Bieber is still number one.
Last week, the Official Charts Company modernized the method it gathers the Top 40 in an effort to stop -Alist masters shouldering newer deeds out of the way.
The move was prompted by Ed Sheeran, whose brand-new recording[ Divide] substantiated so popular that it spurred 16 lines into the top 20 in March.
Appropriately, he seems to be the main victim of the brand-new settles, with several of his songs adversely affected.
Last week, Sheeran had eight songs in the Top 100. This week, he has three.
Four of those former smashes removed out naturally, because their sales rejected following a brief, post-Glastonbury peak.
But another anthem was excluded from the countdown because, under the new system, artists are only permitted a maximum of three sungs on the following chart at any one time.
Top five singles Artist Title 1) Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber Despacito 2) DJ Khaled ft Rihanna Wild Thoughts 3) French Montana ft Swae Lee Unforgettable 4) Jonas Blue ft William Singe Mama 5) Liam Payne ft Quavo Strip That Down
