The Scott Music Report: January 19, 2018 | Post Malone remains @ 1, Justin Timberlake is the week's highest debut

For a second week running, Post Malone and 21 Savage's "Rockstar" holds tight at the top spot. It holds the top spot inside an entirely stationary top three, with Rita Ora's "Anywhere" and Stormzy featuring MNEK's "Blinded By Your Grace, Pt. 2" both holding in their positions from last week, number two and three respectively. At number four, Marshmello climbs to a new peak, as "Silence" featuring Khalid rises two places from last week's number six. It's a double at number five for Marshmello, as he charts his second top five. This time with Selena Gomez, as "Wolves" climbs TEN places to this week's number five. It becomes Marshmello's second top ten single, but becomes Selena's thirteenth. Her last came in July 2017, when "Bad Liar" also peaked at #5. Will "Wolves" outpeak "Bad Liar"? At number six, ZAYN and Sia's "Dusk Till Dawn" rises four places from last week's number ten, while Dua Lipa's "New Rules" drops to this week's number seven. At number eight, Taylor Swift reaches the top ten for the first time with "...Ready For It?", climbing six places in the process. "...Ready For It?" is Swift's first top ten from her sixty studio album, Reputation (2017), despite not being the album's first single. The album's lead single, "Look What You Made Me Do", peaked at #26. It becomes Swift's fifteenth top ten single overall and her first since "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" featuring ZAYN peaked at #3 in January 2017. At number nine, Clean Bandit and Julia Michaels also reach the top ten for the first time with "I Miss You". Climbing seven places up the chart, "I Miss You" becomes Clean Bandit's seventh top ten and Julia Michaels' second top ten. Closing out the top ten this week at number ten is "Good Old Days" by Macklemore featuring Kesha, which drops three places to this week's number ten. 

After a short hiatus, Justin Timberlake is officially back with Man of the Woods (2018), his fifth studio album. "Filthy" is the album's lead single and is the week's highest new entry at this week's number twenty five. In the past, Timberlake has faired well on this chart, registering twenty five top ten singles, sixth of which were number ones. How will "Filthy" fair in the coming weeks? This week also sees a further seven new entries from Bruno Mars & Cardi B with "Finesse (Remix)" (#73), Charli XCX featuring ALMA & Tove Lo with "Out Of My Head" (#78), Not3s featuring Mabel with "My Lover (Remix)" (#86), G-Eazy & Halsey with "Him & I" (#87), Sofi Tukker featuring Nervo, The Knocks & Alisa Ueno with "Best Friend" (#90), Cheat Codes featuring Fetty Wap & CVBZ with "Feels Great" (#92), and Martin Garrix & David Guetta featuring Jamie Scott & Romy Dya with "So Far Away" (#98). 

Dua Lipa gains the week's highest climber, as "IDGAF" rises forty four places up to this week's number twenty two, while Liam Payne registers the week's biggest freefaller, dropping twenty five places to this week's number sixty six with "Bedroom Floor".
