Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” Returns To #1 Spot In United Kingdom

“Despacito” totals a tenth week at #1 in the United Kingdom.

Last week, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber)” ceded the Official UK Singles Chart throne to DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts (featuring Rihanna & Bryson Tiller).”

It marked the second time the song’s reign had been interrupted. It had previously been overtaken by Artists For Grenfell’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

This week, “Despacito” returns to the top spot.

The global smash tallies a tenth non-consecutive week at #1 on the listing.

“Wild Thoughts” falls to #2 on this week’s chart, while French Montana’s “Unforgettable (featuring Swae Lee)” holds at #3. Calvin Harris’ “Feels (featuring Pharrell, Katy Perry & Big Sean)” and Jonas Blue’s “Mama (featuring William Singe)” (#5) are also stationary this week.

Other notables inside the Top 40:

— Rudimental’s “Sun Comes Up (featuring James Arthur)” rises six spots to #10.
— Louis Tomlinson’s “Back To You (featuring Bebe Rexha & Digital Farm Animals)” debuts at #13.
— Linkin Park’s “In The End” re-enters at #14.
— Major Lazer’s “Know No Better (featuring Travi$ Scott, Camila Cabello & Quavo)” climbs two places to #15.
