Tones and I’s Dance Monkey is still holding firm against the competition, still at Number 1 over closest competitor Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi (2).

Elsewhere, Pump It Up by Brighton producer Endor is on track to climb in to the Top 20, currently up four places to Number 17. The track is a remix of the 2004 dance track by Belgian artist Danzel, which reached Number 11.

If "Dance Monkey" charted earlier in the year, I'm pretty sure it would top the year-end list, but since it peaked in October, I think it'll make the top 10 at best, but too late for #1.

The Weeknd's new singles are definitely better than some of his previous songs so I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll be putting out next. I just wish however that "Blinding Lights", the song that doesn't have the modern day trap in it, was the single that peaked higher, seeing how it's selling more on iTunes. I do like that song more.

Just waiting for Dance Monkey to hit ACR again tbh. Really hope it's not the Christmas #1!

I was expecting this week to be quiet & that’s indeed how it’s looking to turn out!

Both songs from The Weeknd debuting in the Top 10 are better than I predicted & 10 weeks at #1 for ‘Dance Monkey’ surpassed even what I thought it was capable of.
