Why the is that awful Drake song still number 1? Awful trash like that shouldn't be at number 1 longer than songs like 7 Years and Grace Kelly. On a better note, nice to see Raging almost climb into the top 40.

Drake is STILL number one?! And for 6 weeks! Who actually likes this song? It's instantly forgettable. I couldn't even sing it back to you. Justin should be number one. His sales are much better at 67,000 compared to 29,000. Its only non sale streams of 31,000 vs 75,000 that put Drake at number one. Record companies probably just run it on stream 24/7. Please don't let it be there 7 weeks! There's so much better in the charts.

Why are there so many Explicit songs are in the top 100.How many are there , Well I will tell you. There are 28 Explicit songs in the charts. Why do singers have to put swear words in songs, Like Beyoncé, Drake, Skepta, Rhianna , Drake is the worst culprit here. I am doing a Wedding on 28th May and have been asked not to play these songs because of the age group of people. I took a pill in Ibiza is a great song , it would be better if the F word was taken out and Hey put in. I think they should be made to do a clean version like the song You was changed to Forget You, Sounds better. These songs would have been banned years ago. Frankie Goes To Hollywood got banned but it is a lot tamer than songs in the charts now. I am a dj and I like playing these songs BUT I would prefer them to change the word. What does anyone else think ?

Wow! Drake's One Dance has now been at number 1 for longer than 7 Years (yay!) and still remains at the top despite being set to drop to 3. And two massive climbers into the top 20! The man's on steroids!

He's only been at No.3 last 2 weeks in the sales chart which is the real chart. Justin Timberlake at No.1. Calvin Harris feat Rihanna at 1 last week

For music fans bored of the current chart and the sort of music getting streamed, check out this classic 1990s remix track. It's absolutely brilliant! One of the greatest pop remixes ever. Simple Minds - Sign O' The Times. Play it loud and annoy the neigbours!

And it's a nice tribute to Prince too! He did the original of this song. :)

Rihanna has six songs on the chart at once- with two in the top ten- she will be the singles artist of the year in both the US and UK.

I'm really impressed this week with the impact Drizzy has had on the charts yet again. This week alone in the UK charts:
1) Drake has earned a sixth week at #1 with 'One Dance'. That's the longest #1 single of 2016 so far & the last song to spend this long at #1 was 'Love Yourself'. 'Uptown Funk' was the last single to have spent six consecutive weeks at #1.
2) 'Views' has bounded back to the top of the albums chart for a second non-consecutive week (probably thanks to his record-breaking streams recently).
3) The other singles from that album, 'Too Good' & 'Controlla' surge from 23-8 & 39-19 respectively.
Good to see the variety of genres within the Top 40's 4 new entries. Also congratulations to Desiigner on his first Top 10 single. :)

1) Personally I think One Dance is rubbish and I would like to see a new song be number 1, like CSTF.
2) The album is even worse but it's much better than Beyonce.
3) I can't understand how Drake's new SONGS (they haven't even been released yet!) have gone so high.

Beyonce - Hold Up
Sales - #6
Audio Streaming - N/A
Official Chart - #28

She's so annoying. Put your singles up on Spotify !!!!! No one cares about Tidal. You don't have to put the entire album, but keeping your singles off all streaming services but Tidal is not successful AT ALL.

I'm this close to forming a Beyhive rebellion to spam her instagram with orders.

No offense but this chart is a joke. CSTF was 6000 sales ahead of OD on Wednesday but it still managed to surpass that in two days? Whatever

Congratulations to Drake on a sixth week at #1 with 'One Dance'! :) Hopefully JT can go to #1 next week though - CSTF is such a great song. Nice to see the good variety with the 4 new entries inside the Top 40 as well.

Sure, "CSTF" managed to top the Scotland chart, but unfortunately it didn't do enough to go number 1 in the UK chart this week...

I don't understansd why there are no Eurovision songs in the Top 40 (only 2 in the Top 100) and 4 Drake songs in there.

Joe & Jake barely had any streams, no physical single to buy. All other Eurovision songs except Frans were doing nothing on streaming either.
