Finally, P!nk and Eminem’s highly-anticipated collaboration Revenge is a new entry at Number 26, and Dappy could also score a new entry within the Top 40; Spotlight is at Number 36.

Dappy from N-Dubz? Thought he disappeared years ago

Not a fan of Lonely Together despite being a fan of Avicii but I'd prefer that over Havana and Rockstar. At least Avicii being #1 would shine a ray of hope as there's not been a good #1 since Feels and even then, that only lasted a solitary week and it's easy to forget it topped.

Not a bad chart by the looks of things.
I wish 'Havana' would've took the #1, but I don't mind too much if 'Rockstar' stays there.
What I really like seeing is 'What Lovers Do' expected to hit the Top 10, as well as that big rebound for 'What About Us'. In the latter case, it's good that P!NK should also be able to get her second #1 album on Friday! :)
