Not happy Strangers Sigrid already dropped out of top 10 after just one week! Felt would go at least top 5. Also shame about Craig David & Bastille felt that had a few more weeks inside top ten to go!

All together now...STREAMING WINS AS USUAL! Without it Drake wouldn't be 1 right now like in Hit40 Uk's chart on Capital/Heart FM always showing the vast diffrence between them and Radio 1.

Generally a good week here! :)
I was really hoping for 'These Days' to be #1, but I love that 'Feel It Still' entered the Top 10 for the first time & 'Never Be The Same' re-entered the region.
The best part of the chart this week was 'Let Me Go' finally breaking into the Top 40, which is one of my favourite songs of the past year!
