The Scott Music Report: December 15, 2017 | Paloma Faith reaches the top 10

Rita Ora's "Anywhere" manages to hold a second week at number one in the lead up to the big Christmas chart, but faces tough competition from Khalid, who rises three places to number two with "Young Dumb & Broke" from last week's number five. In third place, Camila Cabello and Young Thug's "Havana" drops one place, while Dua Lipa's "New Rules" holds at number four on its sixteenth week inside the top five. At number five, Portugal, The Man.'s "Feel It Still" rises to a new peak from last week's number seven, while Logic's former number one, "1-800-273-8255", featuring Alessia Cara & Khalid drops three places to number six. At number seven, Stefflon Don and French Montana's "Hurtin' Me" slides down one spot, while Avicii and Rita Ora claims a new peak of number eight with "Lonely Together". In at number nine, Paloma Faith is the sole new entry into this week's top ten, as "Crybaby" rises three places. "Crybaby" becomes Faith's sixth top ten single and her first since 2014's "Changing" featuring Sigma, which peaked at number four. Faith's first entry came in July 2009 with "Stone Cold Sober" which peaked at number thirty eight and achieved her first top ten single later in that year with "New York" which peaked at number six in December 2009.
