The Scott Music Report: October 6, 2017 | Dua Lipa gains 6th week @ 1 & hot shot debut of the week

Dua Lipa continues to rewrite the rules at the top of the charts this week, as "New Rules" spends a sixth consecutive week at #1. "New Rules" momentum could soon slow down, now that a top ten staple reaches a new peak, as "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons steadily climbs to number two this week, knocking Madison Beer's "Dead" into third place after three weeks at #2. At number four, Niall Horan reaches a new peak with "Slow Hands", while Bruno Mars glides into the top five with "Versace On The Floor". At number six, Jax Jones' "Instruction" featuring Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don climbs to a new peak, while Demi makes it a double, as "Sorry Not Sorry" rises into the top ten for the first time at this week's number seven. At number eight, Rita Ora slips four places with "Your Song", while Arcade Fire reaches a new peak of number nine with "Everything Now". Closing out the top ten is Kesha's "Praying" at this week's number ten, which drops five places from last week's number five. 

Elsewhere on the chart, Dua Lipa not only claims the top spot, but also the week's highest new entry with "My Love" featuring Wale, Major Lazer & WizKid. The single debuts at #75 and becomes Lipa's eleventh chart entry. As well as "My Love", there are a further six new entries from Adam Lambert with "Two Fux" (#81), Fifth Harmony with "He Like That" (#86), Gabrielle Aplin with "Waking Up Slow" (#87), Niall Horan with "Too Much To Ask" (#91), Marshmello featuring Khalid with "Silence" (#96), and Wolf Alice with "Beautifully Unconventional" (#98). 

Anne-Marie's "Heavy" claims the week's highest climber, as it rises twenty places to this week's #80, while Olly Murs and Louisa Johnson claim the week's biggest freefaller with "Unpredictable", which drops twenty six places to #89.
