The Scott Music Report: February 16, 2018 | Bruno & Cardi hold at 1, MK & Hailee Steinfeld reach top 10

For a second chart week, Bruno Mars and Cardi B's "Finesse (Remix)" rocks the top of the chart, but after a couple of weeks of decliners in the runner-up spot, "Finesse (Remix)" may face some serious competition in the shape of Dua Lipa on next week's chart. That's because "IDGAF" rises to a new peak of number two from last week's number four. At number three, ZAYN and Sia's "Dusk Till Dawn" drops one place, while Post Malone and 21 Savage's "Rockstar" also descends one spot down the chart at number four. At number five, "I Miss You" by Clean Bandit and Julia Michaels holds for a second week running, while "Decline" by RAYE featuring Mr. Eazi climbs to a new peak of number six. At number seven, Camila Cabello's "Never Be The Same" holds for a second week, as Marshmello and Khalid's "Silence" drops two spots to this week's number eight. Closing out this week's top ten is two brand new tracks entering the top ten for the first time and both are songs that have had a slow rise up the chart. At number nine, Marc Kinchen - or as he is better known, MK - gains his first top ten single with "17", which climbs three spots into the top ten on its seventeenth week charting. Serendipity. And at number ten, Hailee Steinfeld climbs ten spots into the top ten with "Let Me Go" featuring Alesso, Florida Georgia Line & watt. "Let Me Go" becomes Steinfeld's third top ten single following 2015's "Love Myself" (#8) and 2016's "Starving" (#4). It also becomes Alesso's third top ten single (following "If I Lose Myself", "Calling (Lose My Mind)") and Florida Georgia Line's second top ten single (following "Cruise" featuring Nelly). 

Drake's "God's Plan" is this week's highest new entry at this week's fifty four. It becomes Drake's seventy sixth chart entry, but can it join Drake's ever illustrious chart roster which includes seven number ones and twenty six top tens? This week also sees a further five new entries from The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar with "Pray For Me" (#66), Zedd & Grey featuring Maren Morris with "The Middle" (#74), Maroon 5 with "Wait" (#81), Rudimental featuring Jess Glynne, Dan Caplan & Macklemore with "These Days" (#90), and Ramz with "Barking" (#92). 

This week's highest climber belongs to Kendrick Lamar and SZA with "All The Stars", which climbs thirty five places to this week's number thirty three, while Ed Sheeran and Beyonce's "Perfect Duet" has the week's biggest freefaller, tumbling twenty four places to this week's number eighty eight.
