The Scott Music Report: September 8, 2017

For a second week, Dua Lipa remains supreme with "New Rules". The British singer-songwriter claimed her fifth number one single last week and continues to hold off tough competition from DJ Khaled and Calvin Harris who swap positions on this week's chart, with "Wild Thoughts" (a former number one) featuring Rihanna & Bryson Tiller rising from number three to number two, while "Feels" featuring Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean drops to number three from last week's number two, where it spent two weeks in the runner-up position. At number four, Imagine Dragons rise again to their original peak with "Thunder", while Kesha enters the top five for the first time with "Praying", as it climbs one place to a new peak of number five. At number six, Rita Ora also reaches a new peak with "Your Song", while Liam Payne and Quavo remain stationary with "Strip That Down" at number seven and French Montana and Swae Lee drop out of the top five for the first time in nine weeks with "Unforgettable" at this week's number eight. Closing out the top ten is TWO brand new tracks. At number nine, eighteen year-old social media sensation, Madison Beer, reaches the top ten for the very first time with "Dead". While Madison is celebrating her first top ten single, Katy Perry is achieving her TWENTIETH top ten single with "Swish Swish", which rises two places to this week's number ten and closes out this week's top ten. "Swish Swish" also becomes Katy's fourth top ten single of this year, following "Chained To The Rhythm", "Bon Appetit", and "Feels", which also means that Katy holds two of the positions in this week's all important top ten. "Swish Swish"'s featured artist, Nicki Minaj, also achieves her twenty first top ten single. Minaj's first top ten came all the way back in 2010 with "Check It Out" featuring will.i.am and Cheryl Cole, which peaked at number eight. 

This week sees six new entries on the chart: Maroon 5 and SZA's "What Lovers Do" launches as the week's highest new entry at this week's number fifty two. The other five new entries belong to Paloma Faith with "Crybaby" (#71), Halsey with "Bad At Love" (#79), Chris Brown with "Questions" (#86), Duke Dumont & Gorgon City featuring NAATIONS with "Real Life" (#90), and Felix Jaehn featuring Hight & Alex Aiono with "Hot2Touch" (#91). 

The week's biggest riser belongs to Logic featuring Alessia Cara & Khalid with "1-800-273-8255" which climbs eighteen places to this week's number thirty eight, while Fifth Harmony and Gucci Mane registers the week's biggest freefaller with "Downs" which drops thirty five places to this week's number seventy seven.
