Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” Remains #1 In The UK

“Despacito” tops a second straight Official UK Singles Chart.

Last week, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber)” reached #1 on the Official UK Singles Chart.

This week, it keeps the throne.

Its closest competition again comes from DJ Khaled’s “I’m The One (featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper & Lil Wayne).” The song is #2 for a second consecutive week.

Clean Bandit’s “Symphony (featuring Zara Larsson)” remains #3, while Shawn Mendes’ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” ticks up one spot to #4.

Down one spot, Ed Sheeran’s smash “Shape Of You” grabs #5 this week.

Other notables inside the Top 40:
— J Hus’ “Did You See” rises three spots to #9.
— Miley Cyrus’ “Malibu,” the week’s top debut, starts at #11.
— Charlie Puth’s “Attention” rises four spots to #12.
— Disciples’ “On My Mind” ascends eight places to #15.
— Lady Gaga’s “The Cure” climbs two spots to #20.
— Maggie Lindemann’s “Pretty Girl” rockets thirty-seven spots to #21 (the chart solely credits Lindemann, but the Cheat Codes x Cade remix is generating most of the activity)
— Paramore’s “Hard Times” climbs seven places to #34.
