"Despacito" claims a sixth straight week at Number 1, and gives Justin Bieber the longest consecutive run at Number 1 in his chart career. It also gives him a total of 25 weeks at Number 1 in the UK - only eight artists have accumulated more weeks at the top.
Well done to Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin - here is "Despacito" (the original version minus Bieber's vocal).
Still at Number 2 is Ariana Grande with "One Last Time", while up 2 places to 3 is French Montana & Swae Lee with "Unforgettable".
Static at 4 is Liam Payne & Quavo with "Strip That Down", while straight in at Number 5 is this week's highest new entry, featuring that man again, Justin Bieber. "2U" is a collaboration with French DJ/producer, David Guetta, and it gives Guetta his 22nd UK Top 10 hit single, but it is his first since "Mama" peaked at Number 9 almost exactly 2 years ago.
Welcome back, David, here is "2U".
Talking of songs called "Mama", static at 6 this week is Jonas Blue with William Singe and their song of that title, while dropping four places to 7 is Bieber's third entry in this week's Top 10 - "I'm The One" from DJ Khaled featuring Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper & Lil' Wayne.
Back into the Top 10, up from last week's 11, is Charlie Puth with "Attention".
Surprisingly back up 22 places this week from last week's 35, are the Little Mix girls, aided this time by Stormzy, who claim their 17th UK Top 20 hit single.
This is "Power".
This week's second new entry comes in at Number 26, and marks a return to the Top 30 for Ella Eyre after two years away.
Teaming up this time with DJ/producer, Sigala, this is "Came Here For Love".
Up 13 to Number 35 this week, giving ex Fifth Harmony-er Camila Cabello her second Top 40 hit of the week, is the latest track from Major Lazer.
Also featuring Travis Scott, this is "Know No Better".
Also returning to the Top 40 after a while away, up 11 places to 38 this week, is Las Vegas rock band Imagine Dragons as "Thunder" becomes their first Top 40 entry since "Bet Your Life" in February 2015 (although they did collaborate on the Number 11 hit form last August, "Sucker For Pain" from the movie "Suicide Squad").
Here are the boys with "Thunder".
One place lower, its a well done to rapper Symere Woods (AKA Lil' Uzi Vert), who notches up his first UK solo Top 40 hit this week, climbing 7 places from last week's 46.
His only other UK chart entry was as guest vocalist on boyband Migos' debut UK hit, "Bad & Boujee" (which went all the way to Number 1 in the US).
Here is Mr Woods with the strangely titled "XO TOUR Llif3".
Just outside the 40 this week, debuting at 45, is a song written and performed by Finnish singer-songwriter Alma (Miettinen).
This is "Chasing Highs".
Well done to Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin - here is "Despacito" (the original version minus Bieber's vocal).

At Number 49 is this weeks highest climber, up 24 places.
From DJ Khaled featuring Drake, this is "To The Max".
Another big climb this week, moving up 16 places to 55, brings together two former X Factor finalists - 2009 runner-up Olly Murs and 2015 winner Louisa Johnson.
This is "Unpredictable".
As usual, I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums. In the UK, congratulations go out to Hannah Reid, Dan Rothman & Dominic "Dot" Major AKA London Grammar, as their second longplayer, "Truth Is A Beautiful Thing" instantly betters the Number 2 position of their 2013 debut, "If You Wait".
From the album this is the single "Rooting For You".
In the US, Halsey mirrors London Grammar's achievement by also hitting Number One with her second album after her first peaked at Number 2.
From the album "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom", here is the single, "Now Or Never".
