The Biggest Songs Of The Week

It’s another great week for Demi Lovato as she grabs a double no.1 for a second consecutive week. Her single “Let You Go” has a 2^nd week at no.1 position while her album “It’s not that deep” remains at the top of the album chart for a 3rd consecutive week. Jessie J has this week’s highest new entry and a surprise entry on the singles chart with the sad and beautiful track “I’ll never know why” entering at no.2. 

Meanwhile the phenomenon that is Stranger Things, gains two songs in this week’s top 40. Peter Gabriel’s “Heroes” from season 1 and season 3 enters at no.27 while there is a re-entry from Kate Bush and “Running up that hill” which re-enters at no.36.
