New entries and high climbers

Elsewhere in the Top 10, hip hop duo Rae Sremmurd zoom 32 places to Number 4 with Black Beatles ft. Guuci Mane. The track has taken off across the world thanks in part to its use as the unofficial theme song of the #MannequinChallenge.

Stockholm producer Nevada enters the Top 40 this week at 23 (up 21 places) with his debut single The Mack; a re-working of Mark Morrison’s Return Of The Mack, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Meanwhile, Olly Murs’ Grow Up climbs 36 spots to Number 25 to give him his 18th Top 40 single.

Nathan Sykes’ Famous, taken from his debut solo album Unfinished Business, leaps from 62 to 28, and Robbie Williams bags his first Top 40 single in three years with Love My Life, up 24 places to 28.

Finally, The xx’s brand new single On Hold debuts at Number 38, and Sigma’s Find Me ft. Birdy lifts seven spots to 39.

Actually I think they've been performing some shows in the US over the past couple of weeks. Hopefully this means that 'Rockabye' can debut on the Hot 100 soon! :)

Yeah I knew that 'Rather Be' peaked at #10 on the Hot 100.
It was one of my favourite songs of that year & was the 2nd best-selling hit of 2014 in the UK (4 weeks at #1 here). :)

Hey, I made it! If only for around 10 minutes. So Rae Sremmurd is leading the US invasion (maybe).

Yeah, that song also featured Jess Glynne, who return to the Hot 100 on her with Hold My Hand for 6 weeks in 2016.
