Prepare for some rough and tumble at the top of the Official Singles Chart again this week, as Major Lazer and DJ Snake vie to finish at Number 1 on Friday.

Cold Water, from Major Lazer, Justin Bieber and MØ, is currently eyeing a fifth consecutive week at Number 1, but DJ Snake is snapping at their heels. His track Let Me Love You, which also features Justin Bieber, is a mere 167 combined chart sales behind at Number 2 at this midweek stage.

Calum Scott's cover of Robyn's Dancing On My Own stays at Number 3, while Chainsmokers have two tracks in the Top 5, with Closer feat. Halsey holding firm at 4 and Don't Let Me Down feat. Daya going back up one place to 5.

New entries and climbers

Ellie Goulding is set to score this week's highest new entry – and her 18th Top 40 hit – with Still Falling For You, taken from the new Bridget Jones movie, starting at 14 today.

Charlie Puth's We Don't Talk Anymore, feat. Selena Gomez, rises seven places to Number 16, while Craig David & Sigala's Ain't Giving Up is new at 20, and the remix of Is This Love from Bob Marley and Lyndscape and Bolier is up three places to 39.

I hope Ellie Goulding can go higher by the end of the week, I've had Falling For You on repeat since Friday, I absolutely love that song.

You do know this will happen with every number 1 right? The age group of 10-16 year olds will listen to the most trendy artist for 4-6 months and then move on to the next thing, leaving the previous single pretty much forgotten about. The charts don't mean anything anymore. The only song from the current top 40 at the moment I can see even being remembered is Hymn for the Weekend and that's only because Coldplay have enough to keep producing songs that will stay on a radio for several years. And that's coming from someone who hasn't liked their last 3 albums.
