WEEK ENDING 4th NOVEMBER 2017

For a fourth week in a row at Number One is Post Malone & 21 Savage.

Here is "Rockstar".


At Number 2 for a third week is "Havana" from Camila Cabello featuring Young Thug, while up 6 places to Number 3 is mystery masked man Marshmello featuring Khalid.

This is "Silence".



Static at 4 is Rita Ora with "Lonely Together", while down two places to 5 is former Number 1 single "Too Good At Goodbyes" from Sam Smith.

Another non-mover at 6 is Zayn & Sia with "Dusk Till Dawn", while Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" hits the Top 10 for a second time, up 4 places to Number 7.

Up two more places is Neneh Cherry's daughter Mabel, featuring Kojo Funds with "Finders Keepers", while out of the Top 7 positions for the first time in its 10 weeks chart run, down 4 places to 9 this week, is CNCO & Little Mix with "Reggaeton Lento".

We complete the Top 10 with "Mi Gente", which drops two places for J Balvin & Willy William (and Beyoncé).

New at 15 this week is the latest track from Taylor Swift.

Released to promote her sixth studio album, "Reputation", which is due to be release next week, this is "Gorgeous".



Also new in at Number 20, and continuing her hot streak is Rita Ora.

This is "Anywhere".



Up nine places, and moving back into the Top 30 this week is Niall Horan with his third hit single.

From his debut album, "Flicker", here is "Too Much To Ask".



One place lower, and brand new this week, is Niall's fellow One Directioner and Mr Cheryl Tweedy, Liam Payne.

Also with his third hit single, this is "Bedroom Floor".



Another new entry at Number 30 comes from English rap duo Krept & Konan, from their soon to be released album, "7 Days".

Featuring guest vocals by grime legend, Stormzy, this is "Ask Flipz".



Static at Number 35 on its 42nd week on the chart, is Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You", the first track released this year to reach 40 consecutive weeks on the chart, while one place lower, up 10 places, is US DJ Marc Kinchen, aka MK.

This is "17".



At Number 40 we have a chart debutant.  American hip-hop artist Nathan "Nate" John Feuerstein, aka NF, recently achieved his first US Number 1 album with his fourth album, "Perception".

From that album this is NF with "Let You Down".



A re-entry at Number 44 us the second track on the chart for rap duo Krept & Konan.  "Wo Wo Wo" originally peaked at Number 71 just three weeks ago.

Another re-entry comes in at Number 49 this week.  Originally peaking at Number 28 way back in 1990, it is taken from the brand new Number 1 album.

From the album "Listen With Prejudice: Vol 1" this is the late great George Michael with "Freedom".




This week's highest climber is a track that peaked at Number 7 early in June, and re-entered the chart last week.

Up 16 places to Number 50 this week, here is Niall Horan with "Slow Hands".



As usual I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums.  In the UK, as mentioned above, George Michael takes the crown as the re-release of his second album, "Listen With Prejudice: Vol 1" takes the honours, 27 years after it first topped the chart.

Here is the first single from the album, "Praying For Time", a track that reached Number 6 in the UK & Number 1 in the US back in 1990.



In the US, Pink repeats her UK success of last week, as "Beautiful Trauma" becomes her second successive chart topper, after 2012's "The Truth About Love".

From the album this is the single "What About Us".
