The Chainsmokers' grip on the Number 1 spot appears to be loosening up, but the duo have managed to hold on for a fourth week at the top of the Official Singles Chart.

Closer, their collaboration with Halsey, claims its fourth week at Number 1, with combined chart sales of 82,500. Closer was also the most streamed track of the last seven days. The band's other single in the Top 40 Don't Let Me Down exits the Top 10 today to 11 after eleven weeks inside.

James Arthur's Say You Won't Let Go vaults from Number 25 to Number 2 and ends the week with a combined chart total of 60,000. The track was the most downloaded of the week however, with just under 40,000 snapping up the lead single from James' upcoming sophomore album Back From The Edge.

Meanwhile, rounding off this week’s Top 5 is Calvin Harris' new single My Way, which becomes his 21st Top 10 single (5).

This is true, but only if you remove streaming from the equation.

'Closer' is still leading by a 22,500 overall total, so even after a month at #1, The Chainsmokers & Halsey still going very strong at the top! It would be good to see 'Say You Won't Let Go' get there though (climbing 23 places is definitely impressive though) & I'm hoping 'Still Falling For You' can enter the Top 10 soon as well. Also in the Top 40, congratulations to: Calvin Harris, Emeli Sande & Hailee Steinfeld for their new entries! :D
