DJ Snake and Justin Bieber’s Let Me Love You challenging Major Lazer for singles Number 1
Major Lazer’s Cold Water ft. Justin Bieber and MØ continues to lead the way today’s Official Chart Update, but they’re facing some serious competition on this week’s Top 40.
Putting a potential third stint at Number 1 at risk for the trio is DJ Snake’s Let Me Love You, which starts at Number 2. The track, which features Justin Bieber and was released last Friday (August 5) alongside Snake’s new album Encore, is currently 7,000 combined sales behind Cold Water at the halfway stage of the chart week.

New entries and high climbers
Outside the Top 10, Danish singer-songwriter MØ lifts three places to 12 with Final Song, twenty one pilots moves from 20 to 13 with Heathens, and Chainsmokers’ Closer ft. Halsey zooms 15 spots to Number 18.
Further down, Fifth Harmony continue to scale the Official Singles Chart with All In My Head (Flex), up 13 places today to 23, and Tieks’ Sunshine ft. Dan Harkna – which you may recognise from the new Fiat 500 car advert - looks set to hit the Top 40 for the first time this week, currently at 26 (up from 68).
Finally, rapper Lil Wayne could be landing his 19th UK Top 40 single this week with Sucker For Pain. The collaboration with Wiz Khalifa and Imagine Dragons is currently at Number 39 on today’s Update, climbing 26 places from last week.

The album chart is what the single chart used to be 15 years ago. New albums in and out, wonders of a week or two, but at least some action. I miss that in the single chart nowadays :/

Those were the days when acts on the album charts today would have had a mucj fairer share of the singles chart especially during the Britpop.era by real music fans and not the teen streaming generation pf today who don't appreciate and understand the rock bands and songwriters of today.

With the exception of Fifth Harmony and Lil Wayne climbing this looks like a good week

DJ Snake for number 1? That would be awesome!

Not a big fan of this song. It sounds like an underwhelming combination of Turn Down For What and Lean On.

I get your point, but I think the song needs more of a kick
