Powered by a mammoth sales performance, Artists For Grenfell’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” predictably debuts at #1 on this week’s Official UK Singles Chart.<\/p>\n
The benefit single, which features a myriad of big-name artists, seizes the throne from Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber),” which slips to #2 after six consecutive weeks on top.<\/p>\n
“Bridge” did not debut until Wednesday morning, which means this week’s #1 debut is based on fewer than 48 hours of activity.<\/p>\n
The activity in that window was massive, however. The Official UK Charts Company confirms that “Bridge” generated 170,360 units during the tracking week, with almost 169,000 coming from paid downloads.<\/p>\n
DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts (featuring Rihanna & Bryson Tiller)” debuts at #3, while Liam Payne’s “Strip That Down (featuring Quavo)” holds at #4. Down two places, French Montana’s “Unforgettable (featuring Swae Lee)” claims #5 on this week’s listing.<\/p>\n
Other notables from this week’s Top 40:
\n— Little Mix’s “Power (featuring Stormzy)” rises three spots to #10.
\n— Camila Cabello’s “Crying In The Club” rises three places to #20.
\n— Calvin Harris’ “Feels (featuring Pharrell, Katy Perry & Big Sean)” enters at #21.
\n— Sigala’s “Came Here For Love (featuring Ella Eyre)” rises three spots to #23.
\n— Selena Gomez’ “Bad Liar” jumps twenty spots to a new peak of #33.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The benefit single ranks as the UK’s #1 song.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[9276,1383,4877,7067,8184,1027,3371,96,7608,8183,6608,129,8808],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
