C'mon now! Whitney Houston TOTALLY deserves the #1 position. Ed Sheeran is so overrated it's not even funny. The song is not even that good

You are so right, Ed is definitely overrated at this point. 'Take me back to London' initially only went to no. 3 early on. His label's plan was to get 'London' to UK no.1 (his 8th now from the album). Which explains why the remix with Aitch was added on it, quickly release it and it goes straight to no.1.
So now will they planning on releasing another single to hopefully score a 9th no. 1 off the album, to the point of overrated exposed and saturating to the extreme with the album and its singles..lol

It's his 3rd number 1 from this album...not 8th. 8th number 1 for Ed, overall.

Such a shame for Whitney and Kygo...they really deserve to be at number 1!! Glad to see JOEL CORRY at 5 : really like the song and wouldn't expected to see the song climbing so fast!!
ShunB
Unfortunately once again Ed Sheeran is blocking other songs at chance for the top spot, those darn London remixes...such a sad and disappointment for me i really wanted this moment for Whitney to get a 5th no.1 UK. If 'Higher Love' gets acr after this week, its chances may be over.
thierry henon
You are right ShunB...i wish they could do something to stop singers to release all these useless remixes...they all sound the same...stick to the original version !!
David Eve
Higher Love is still increasing in 'sales' so it shouldn't go to ACR for at least 3 more weeks....
Rob Parkinson
But Whitney's song is a remix by Kygo!

Not exactly thrilled about 'Take Me Back To London' blocking 'Higher Love' from #1 again, but at least 'Sorry' moved up into the Top 5.
It looks like it'll be a good week for Post Malone, both for the artist & the song! :)
