The Scott Music Report: February 23, 2018 | Bruno & Cardi remain at #1, Kylie Minogue crowns her 64th chart entry

For a third week running, Bruno Mars and Cardi B's "Finesse (Remix)" storms to the top of the chart. As "Finesse (Remix)" leads, it holds Dua Lipa's "IDGAF" hostage in the runner-up position. At number three, Clean Bandit's "I Miss You" featuring Julia Michaels climbs two places to reach its new peak, while Post Malone and 21 Savage's "Rockstar" holds at number four. At number five, ZAYN and Sia's "Dusk Till Dawn" drops two spots, while RAYE and Mr. Eazi's "Decline" holds at number six. At number seven, Dua Lipa's "New Rules" returns to the top ten for its twenty fourth week. Much of "New Rules" resurgance up the charts is thanks to Dua's performance of the track at the 2018 BRIT Awards and her two wins for Best British Female and Best British Breakthrough Act. At number eight, Camila Cabello's "Never Be The Same" drops one spot, as does Marshmello and Khalid's "Silence" at number nine. Closing out the week's top ten at number ten is MK's "17" which also retreats one spot. 

Kylie Minogue returns to the top 100 this week with "Dancing", becoming the week's highest new entry at number sixty eight. It becomes Minogue's sixty fourth chart entry and her first since July 2016 when "This Wheel's On Fire" peaked at number forty. Minogue's first chart entry came in January 1988, when "I Should Be So Lucky" peaked at number one. Since then, Kylie has notched up a further four number one singles ("Hand On Your Heart", "Wouldn't Change A Thing", "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", and "Love At First Sight") and a total of thirty two top ten singles. Her last top ten came in April 2015 when "Right Here, Right Now" featuring Giorgio Moroder peaked at number seven. Can "Dancing" become her thirty third? This week also sees a further four new entries from Mabel featuring Not3s with "Fine Line" (#75), Hailee Steinfeld featuring BloodPop with "Capital Letters" (#76), Tom Walker with "Leave A Light On" (#88), and Anne-Marie with "Then" (#96). 

Maroon 5's "Wait" claims this week's highest climber, as it rises twenty four places to this week's number fifty seven, while Calvin Harris' "Faking It" featuring Kehlani & Lil Yachty is the biggest freefaller of the week, dropping twenty two places to number sixty nine.
