After Justin Bieber hit Number 1 as one of the guest vocalists on DJ Khaled's "I'm The One" last week, Justin Bieber hits Number 1 as guest vocalist again this week as the remix of the Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee track "Despacito" which features Bieber's vocal climbs up from last week's Number 4.
He becomes the first solo artist in chart history to achieve the feat twice, having previously replaced himself at Number 1 back in December 2015 with "Love Yourself" & "Sorry".
Also, for the 10th week in his chart career, he is at both Number 1 & Number 2, just one week behind Ed Sheeran's record of 11.
For the second week in a row, an artist achieves their first UK Number 1 more than 10 years after their chart debut. Last week, Lil Wayne topped the chart 12 years and 83 days after his chart debut back in 2005. This week Daddy Yankee tops the chart 11 years and 294 days after his first (and only previous) UK hit from 2005, "Gasolina".
"Despacito" becomes the first foreign language chart topper sing Psy's "Gangnam Style" back in 2012, and Fonsi & Daddy Yankee become the first Puerto Rican artists to hit the top since Ricky Martin in 1999.
Anyway, here is "Despacito". (the original version minus Bieber's vocal).
As per above, dropping one to 2 this week, is DJ Khaled featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper & Lil' Wayne with "I'm The One", while two other former Number Ones drop one place as well - "Symphony" by Clean Bandit & Zara Larsson falls one place to 3, while "Shape Of You" drops one place to 4, so for the first time since 14th January there is no Ed Sheeran track in the Top 3.
Up two places to Number 5 is Shawn Mendes with "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back", while Ed drops one place to 6 with "Galway Girl".
Also down one place to 7 is Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla $ign with "Swalla", while into the Top 10 for the first time - up from last weeks 12 - is "Unforgettable by French Montana featuring Swae Lee.
Up one place to 9 is "Solo Dance" by Martin Jensen, while down 2 to 10 is former Number 1 "Sign Of The Times" by Harry Styles.
Meanwhile, this week's highest climber moves up 15 places to Number 16.
With his first solo Top 20 hit in the UK, this is US singer Charlie Puth.
He becomes the first solo artist in chart history to achieve the feat twice, having previously replaced himself at Number 1 back in December 2015 with "Love Yourself" & "Sorry".

This week's highest new entry is One Direction member Niall Horan's second successive Top 30 hit.
In at 25 this is "Slow Hands".
Also new at 29 is the new single by Jonas Blue.
Featuring Australian former boy band member William Singe, this is "Mama".
As usual, I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums. After 9 weeks at the top in the UK, Ed Sheeran has been dethroned by Leicester band Kasabian whose 6th studio album "For Crying Out Loud", becomes their 5th successive chart topper.
From the album, this is the excellent single, "You're In Love With A Psycho".
In the US, Kendrick Lamar claims his third week at the top "DAMN.".
From the album, here is his recent US Number 1 single, "Humble".
