"Despacito" claims back top spot on this week's chart to make it seven non-consecutive weeks at the top.
Here are Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber.
Moving up one place from last week's debut position of 3, is the latest track from DJ Khaled, "Wild Thoughts", which features Rihanna & Bryson Tiller. If it fails to reach Number One, it will give Rihanna her 10th runner-up of her chart career - only four artists in chart history have had more "near-misses" - Elvis Presley, Madonna, Cliff Richard & Kylie Minogue.
Last week's Number One, Artists for Grenfell, drops two places to 3 this week, while up another place is "Unforgettable" by French Montana & Swae Lee, from 5 to 4.
Also up one place to 5 is "Mama" from Jonas Blue featuring William Singe, while down 2 to 6 is Liam Payne & Quavo with "Strip That Down".
Back up 2 to 7 is DJ Khaled again, with the former Number One, "I'm The One", while static at 8 is the third entry in the Top 10 by Justin Bieber, this time with David Guetta, "2U".
Up another place to 9 is Little Mix (aided by Stormzy) with "Power", while also up one to 10 is Rita Ora with "Your Song", giving the singer her 9th UK Top 10 hit, two years after her last.
Back up 6 places to Number 11, after his headline set at Glastonbury, is the former Number One from Ed Sheeran.
This is "Shape Of You".
This week's (surprising) highest new entry is a new track from Drake, just three months after the release of his recent new "playlist", "More Life".
This is "Signs", his 68th UK chart entry.
Up ten places to 26 this week, with their sixth UK Top 30 entry, is Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons.
This is "Thunder".
New at 28 is a track released to raise money for Cancer Research in the name of 6 year old Bradley Lowery.
Reworking the Charlie Chaplin classic, "Smile", this is Liv'N'G with "Smile For Bradley".
This week's highest climber moves up 14 places to Number 50 - "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. Ironically it is likely that after new chart rules come into force next week which, amongst other things, limits artists to having just their three most popular on the chart at one time - with "Shape Of You", "Galway Girl" & "Castle On The Hill" likely to be the three Sheeran tracks on next week's chart.
This is "Perfect".
Another big climber this week moves up 10 places to Number 55.
This is Fifth Harmony featuring Gucci Mane with "Down".
As usual, I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums. In the UK, "Divide" by Ed Sheeran returns to the top for its 12th week at the top.
From the album, this is the single "Galway Girl".
In the US, congratulations go to 20 year old, New Zealand born singer-songwriter Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (AKA Lorde), as her second album "Melodrama" deposes Katy Perry from the top spot.

Don't forget you can see all the latest UK & US Top 40 videos on my YouTube channel - Chart Blog UK
Next week should be interesting with the new chart rules coming into effect - limiting artists to three tracks, also reduction in streaming ratios after a track has been on the chart for ten weeks and has had three consecutive weeks with falls in sales (from 150:1 to 300:1).
Can Rihanna claim her ninth UK Number One? Also, can Ed Sheeran overtake Madonna to take fifth place on the all time list of weeks spent on the UK Singles chart?
Answers to these and more on this blog next week.
