The Scott Music Report: August 11, 2017

"Wild Thoughts" by DJ Khaled featuring Rihanna & Bryson Tiller holds tight at number one for a third week, as Little Mix and Stormzy tighten the gap between number one and two, as they rise two places to the runner-up position with "Power". "Power" reaching the number two position now secures Glory Days (2016) as the group's most successful album of singles, following two number one singles ("Shout Out To My Ex", "Touch") and the number four single "No More Sad Songs" featuring Machine Gun Kelly. At number three, French Montana and Swae Lee slide one place with "Unforgettable" after spending three weeks at number two. At number four, Dua Lipa and Miguel reach a new peak with "Lost In Your Light", while Selena Gomez reaches the top five at number five with "Bad Liar". At number six, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee hold tight with their former number one, "Despacito", while Imagine Dragons reach the top ten for the first time with "Thunder" at number seven. "Thunder" becomes the Nevada natives seventh top ten single. Their biggest? "Radioactive" reached number one for three weeks way back in January 2013, while "Shots" reached number two in June 2015. At number eight, Liam Payne and Quavo also reach the top ten for the first time with "Strip That Down". This becomes Quavo's second top ten single as a featured artist, but it becomes Liam's first as a solo artist. Niall Horan is now the only former member of One Direction to NOT reach the top ten with a solo single. He's rising quickly though, as "Slow Hands" climbs to number twenty three this week. If Niall reaches the higher regions of the chart, then all member sof One Direction will have charted a solo top ten, as well as a top ten as a group. The first time since the Spice Girls when Victoria Beckham registered her first top ten single in 2000 with "Out Of Your Mind". Finally, both Alma and Shawn Mendes hold on to their positions from last week with "Chasing Highs" and "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" respectively. 

Elsewhere on the chart, Shania Twain registers the week's highest new entry at number sixty five with "Life's About To Get Good". The song becomes the singer's first chart entry since "Don't!" charted in 2005. Since her chart entry back in 1995, Shania has logged two number one singles (1998's "You're Still The One", 1999's "That Don't Impress Me Much") and a total of eight top ten singles. Her last top ten single was 2003's "Ka-ching!", which peaked at number three. With such a strong start, "Life's About To Get Good" could well be on its way to giving Shania her ninth top ten. There are a further four new entries on this week's chart, with two new Latin sensations leading the charge, as J. Balvin and Willy William debut at number seventy seven with "Mi Gente" and Enrique Iglesias, Descemer Bueno & Zion & Lennon debut at number eighty with "SUBEME LA RADIO". Furthermore, Astrid S enters at number eighty five with "Such A Boy" and the internet's latest rap sensation, Cardi B, registers her first entry at number ninety three with "Bodak Yellow". Furthermore, Madison Beer ("Dead") and Martin Solveig featuring Ina Wroldsen ("Places") log the week's highest climber of twenty one places, while Paramore has the misfortune of registering the week's biggest freefaller of thirty three places with "Hard Times".
