Ed's fellow collaborator Aitch takes second place this week with his breakthrough track Taste (Make It Shake), climbing one place to Number 2 to match its previous peak held two weeks ago.
Two tracks make their first Top 10 appearance this week: Regard's viral-turned-chart hit Ride It leaps six places to Number 5, while Tones & I jumps seven spots to Number 7. The Australian singer-songwriter set a new chart record in her home country this week for most weeks at the top on the ARIA Singles Chart by an Australian female solo artist, breaking a 32 year record previously held by Kylie Minogue’s Locomotion.

Well U.K had the best charts compare to U.S which is focus on new Hip Hop artist than known artist who fail to debut on chart.

Ed still at #1, but hey, what's new?
I love 'Ride It' & 'Dance Monkey' both entering the Top 10 for the first time! The former went a lot further than I thought it would, but I knew the latter would end up getting this big.
Really shocked that The Script never made the Top 40 though! :O

It's almost certainly be on ACR now so will not be no.1 next week.

I knew Tiesto and Mabel would hang on, gutted for the script. To be fair though, they are one of my fave bands and I loved them since their first single 'we cry' the first album was amazing. The 2nd album was an amazing sophomore album and the first time I heard 'hall of fame' I knew I had just heard something special. The previous album was good but wasnt out of this world and they seem to carried that on with this track, I'm hoping the new album has a bit more of a mix up. The script do best when they add mild rap with passionate singing and lyrics and the latest track is just pure safe the script and nothing out of this world which they are so capable of
Piran
Yeah, 'God Is A Dancer' got a late boost in streams & a decent first week on airplay, so I definitely expected it to get at least a lower Top 40 debut! It is a real shame about The Script, since they were meant to be the highest debut of the week in the update, but missed out on making the Radio 1 chart show entirely! Then again, that's what happens when you get a song that gets almost all of its chart sales from downloads. :/
'Hall Of Fame' is certainly one of the best hits of the decade, both in terms of commercial performance in the UK & critical acclaim! :)
Other than that, I agree with your thoughts on all of the band's other albums! :D
Even more surprisingly, it actually charted lower in their home country at #50, yet made it all the way to #1 in Scotland.
Piran
If that happens, given the updates that have happened so far, I'd say 'Dance Monkey' is currently looking to be the favourite for #1 next week.
David Eve
It wouldn't surprise me as it has been no.1 in Ireland for the past few weeks and is no.1 in Australia for the 9th week, as well as several other places in Europe.
Positions 2-5 were only separated by about 500 sales, so it theoretically could be any of them if Dance Monkey doesn't make it this week.... though Regard is only one of the top 5 increasing in sales and so is most likely. (if Dance Monkey doesn't make it)..
Piran
It looks like the Sunday & Monday articles from OCC confirm 'Dance Monkey' is indeed going to be the next #1! :)
It also looks like 'Ride It' will make #2 on Friday, but that's as high as I see it getting with the margins widening.
