Camila Cabello & Young Thug's "Havana" finally hit Number 1 this week on its 13th week in the Top 75.
Only five tracks in chart history have ever taken longer to reach the top - "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran (19 weeks); "The Power Of Love" by Jennifer Rush (16 weeks); "Think Twice" by Celine Dion (16 weeks); "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" by Dead Or Alive (15 weeks) & "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes (15 weeks).
With a recently released video, up one place from last week's Number 2, this is "Havana".
After 4 weeks at Number 1, but still top in the US, down one place to 2 is "Rockstar" from Post Malone & 21 Savage, while static at 3 is "Silence" from Marshmello & Khalid.
Static for a third week at Number 4 is Avicii & Rita Ora with "Lonely Together", while back up one place to equal its debut peak position are Zayn & Sia with "Dusk Till Dawn".
Also sneaking up another place to 6 is Ed Sheeran with "Perfect", while down two places to Number 5 is former Number One "Too Good At Goodbyes" by Sam Smith.
Static at Number 8 is Mabel & Kojo Funds with "Finders Keepers", while up 8 places to Number 9, is Charlie Puth with his fourth UK Top 10 hit.
This is "How Long".
We complete the Top 10 with "Mi Gente", which remains static at Number 10 for J Balvin & Willy William (and Beyoncé).
Just missing out on having two concurrent Top 10 singles is Rita Ora as "Anywhere" moves up 9 places to Number 11 this week.
Here is the video.
New at 16 and this week's highest new entry, is Selena Gomez and, with his second single in this week's Top 20, Marshmello.
This is "Wolves".
Up another 10 places, up to Number 26 this week, is US DJ Marc Kinchen, aka MK.
This is "17".

Up 13 places to Number 27 is American hip-hop artist Nathan "Nate" John Feuerstein, aka NF, from his recent US Number 1 album, "Perception".
This is NF with "Let You Down".
New at Number 28 is the latest track from Clean Bandit.
Featuring the vocals of Julia Michaels, this is "I Miss You".
In at Number 34, is Halloween favourite "Thriller" from Michael Jackson.
Entering the Top 40 for the first time since his death in 2009, here is the classic video.
This week's highest climber is a track which peaked at Number 7 eight weeks ago. Up 33 places from last week's Number 71, this is Taylor Swift with "...Ready For It".
Another re-entry enters at Number 40 this week. "Blinded By Your Grace - Pt 2" originally peaked at Number 55 back in March, but after being performed on last week's X Factor (although Labrinth performed with Stormzy on the show), it has a new peak position.
Featuring MNEK, this is Stormzy.
Another big climber this week moves up 30 places to Number 45. Gazzy Garcia is a 17 year old US rapper and songwriter and performs under the name Lil' Pump.
With his first UK hit single, this is Lil' Pump with "Gucci Gang".
As usual I finish with tracks from the US & UK Number 1 albums. In the UK, there were just 35 sales between the Number 1 & Number 2 albums. Beating the Stereophonics into second place, claiming their second UK chart topper, are Michael Ball & Alfie Boe.
From the album "Together Again", this is "He Lives In You".
In the US, Niall Horan follows fellow One Direction band members Zayn and Harry Styles in reaching Number One with his debut album.
From the album, "Flicker", this is the latest single, "Too Much Too Ask".
