After Clean Bandit and Ed Sheeran's long runs at the Top, this week we have our fourth different chart topper in as many weeks, as DJ Khaled claims his first Number One with "I'm The One" (assisted by Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper & Lil' Wayne). It is Bieber's fifth UK chart topper, but the first for each of the other four featured acts, giving Lil' Wayne his first Number One after a 12 year chart career. It is also the first non-British Number One for 31 weeks, since Chainsmokers & Halsey's "Closer" was knocked off the top spot by James Arthur way back in October.
It is also Bieber's 50th UK hit single.
Here is "I'm The One".
After just the single week at the top, Clean Bandit & Zara Larsson drop to 2 with "Symphony", while "Shape Of You" drops another place to 3. Ed Sheeran, this week, overtakes Michael Jackson to become the sixth most successful artist of all time in terms of total weeks spent on the UK Singles chart - well done to him.
The second Bieber vocal in this week's Top 4 (although not credited on the chart listing), moves up 18 places from last week's 22. Credited to just Luis Fonsi it is, nevertheless, the release of a recent remix featuring Mr Bieber that accounts for the majority of the sales and streams of this track.
"Despacito" marks the UK chart debut for 38 year old Puerto Rican Fonsi, although he has been having hits on the US Latin chart since 1998. As for fellow Puerto Rican Daddy Yankee (AKA Ramon Luis Ayala Rodriguez), it is his second UK Top 5 hit, a mere 12 years after his previous, "Gasolina".
Here is Fonsi & Yankee (minus Bieber) with "Despacito".
Down two places to five is Ed Sheeran with "Galway Girl", while static at 6 is Derulo, Minaj & Ty with "Swalla".
Surprisingly, also static at 7, is last week's highest new entry, Shawn Mendes and "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back", while down 4 to 8 is former Number 1 "Sign Of The Times" from Harry Styles.
Also down four places to 9 is Drake with "Passionfruit", while down two to 10 is Martin Jensen and "Solo Dance".
Moving up another 12 places to 12 this week is Moroccan born Karim Kharbouch (AKA French Montana) and Swae Lee (of hip hop group Rae Sremmurd).
It is also Bieber's 50th UK hit single.

This is "Unforgettable".
Up another 13 places this week from last week's 39 is Cheat Codes featuring Demi Lovato.
This is "No Promises".
Up 19 places to this week's 31 with this week's highest climber, its welcome back to the Top 40 to US singer Charlie Puth, with his fifth UK Top 40 hit, but just his second solo.
This is "Attention".
New at Number 34 this week is another track from Norwegian DJ Kygo, this time utilising the vocal talents of Ellie Goulding, giving Ms Goulding her 25th UK hit single.
This is "First Time".
Just creeping in at Number 40, is another new track from Katy Perry, this time featuring boy band Migos. Oddly, this means that Quavo from the band features on the tracks at Number 1 and Number 40 this week.
This is "Bon Appetit".
As usual, I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums. No surprise in the UK as Ed Sheeran makes it nine consecutive weeks at the top with "Divide". It now becomes the longest unbroken run at Number 1 since Adele's "21" spent 11 weeks at the top exactly 6 years ago.
From the album, the track which is at Number 5 on the singles chart, and with a newly released video, this is "Galway Girl".
In the US, Kendrick Lamar claims his second week at the top "DAMN." to complete the chart double.
From the album, here is his recent US Number 1 single, "Humble".
