The Scott Music Report: May 26, 2017

At the top of the charts, there's a brand new number one for Kendrick Lamar with "HUMBLE." Released back in March, "HUMBLE." was released as the lead single from Kendrick's fourth studio album, "DAMN." and has become Kendrick's first number one, outranking his previous number two singles, "King Kunta" and "Bad Blood" featuring Taylor Swift. "HUMBLE." knocks last week's number one from Steps with "Scared of the Dark" into runner-up position, while Harry Styles holds steady at number three with "Sign of the Times". At number four, Future's "Mask Off" climbs to a new peak position, while Miley Cyrus penetrates the top ten with "Malibu" for the first time at number five, which lifts six places from last week's highest new entry position of number eleven. At number six, Charlie Puth's "Attention" ascends one place, while Michael Kiwanuka's "Cold Little Heart" drops three places to number seven. Up four places at number eight, Katy Perry and Migos reach the top ten with "Bon Appetit" for the first time, giving Migos their second top ten single and Katy Perry her eighteenth top ten single. Her biggest hit to date? 2014's "Dark Horse" featuring Juicy J which spent six non-consecutive weeks at number one, becoming the year's biggest single. Closing out the top ten at number nine is Lady Gaga who holds on with "The Cure" and Rag'n'Bone Man gains his second top ten single with "Skin" at number ten.

The week's highest new entry belongs to Chris Cornell with "The Promise" at number thirteen, who passed away at the age of 52 last week. Cornell previously entered the top ten as a solo artist in 2009 with "Part of Me" and has also peaked within the top ten as part of Soundgarden in the nineties. Further to Cornell, there is a further eight new entries including two new entries from Ariana Grande, fuelled by the sad events in Manchester this week. Her feature on Cashmere Cat's "Quit" debuts at number twenty eight, while the poignant "Thinking Bout You" enters at number seventy one. A further six new entries debut this week from Liam Payne featuring Quavo with "Strip That Down" (#54), Katy Perry featuring Nicki Minaj with "Swish Swish" (#77), Kiiara featuring Felix Snow with "Whippin'" (#83), Imagine Dragons with "Thunder" (#84), Kygo featuring Ellie Goulding with "First Time" (#88), and Lord Huron with "The Night We Met" (#91).
