The Chainsmokers are still cosying up to the top spot on the Official Singles Chart this week, as their latest single Closer logs at second week at Number 1.
The US duo’s collaboration with Halsey comfortably leads the Top 40 with combined sales of 92,000 – 12,000 higher than their total last week and 31,000 more than their nearest rival this week, DJ Snake and Justin Bieber’s Let Me Love You (2).
Celebrating their first Number 1 last week, one-half of the group Alex Taggart told OfficialCharts.com: "We are beyond grateful at all the support from our UK fans and radio stations; as a relatively new artist, it means a lot to us and gives us a lot of confidence in the music we have coming up!"

New entries and high climbers
Martin Garrix climbs seven places with his Bebe Rexha hook-up In The Name Of Love, earning the producer a fourth UK Top 10, and Olly Murs’ You Don’t Know Love lifts 12 spots to a new peak of 15 this week.
Ellie Goulding’s Still Falling For You - from the new Bridget Jones film – shifts seven spots to 19, Ariana Grande lands her eighth UK Top 40 hit with Side To Side ft. Nicki Minaj, vaulting 48 places to Number 24.
Further down, six more songs hit the Top 40 for the first time this week. Zara Larsson’s brand new track Ain’t My Fault debuts at 30, Offaiah’s Trouble leaps from 60 to 31, and after scaling the Top 100 for the last five week’s Matoma & Becky Hill’s False Alarm finally cracks the Top 40, up 11 to Number 35.

Will Lady Gaga regain her chart mojo next Friday? It's been 6 years since she last topped the charts so we shall see won't we?

Lots of great new entries in this week's Top 40 & really pleased to see: Olly Murs, Martin Garrix & Bebe Rexha among the biggest climbers this week. Some predictions for next week:
- It will be 'Closer' vs 'Perfect Illusion' for the #1. Lady Gaga went to #1 on iTunes in just a few hours, so I expect she will probably be the next #1 if those good sales can be maintained. :)
- 'The Greatest' was only released on Tuesday, so it only had 3 days worth of sales & streaming on the chart this week. That's why I think in another 7 days that it will become a very big climber next week & Offaiah's 'Trouble' could be another major climber due to quite strong sales & decent radio support is promoting this song well.
- This week, 'Closer' leads sales for a 2nd week & streaming for a 1st week... it's rising very slightly on the former chart metric & increasing a lot on the latter category, which I believe will continue into next week. So if Lady Gaga doesn't debut at #1 next week (we'll get a better idea of the possibility of this happening on the Monday update), then I wouldn't be surprised if The Chainsmokers & Halsey got to 6+ weeks at #1.

Agree that we will get a clear indication on monday but at the moment Gaga has gone down to #5 in the itunes chart. looks like being a real possibility that Sia will be the main new entry challenging for the top spot. And You forgot `Side By Side` By Ariana Grande is currently in the Itunes top 10, that could be a real contender to hit the top 10 next week also.
Piran
Hey Riley, I hope you've had a good week! :)
Well at this rate, 'Perfect Illusion' is going to debut far lower than I first thought; it's now on 42% of the sales of 'Closer' & has never done too well on streaming so far (& flopping on all metrics right now). I think Lady Gaga would be lucky to debut in the Top 10 now. :(
Yeah 'The Greatest' will definitely be the highest new entry on Friday & is still likely to go Top 10, but won't be #1 for now though. 'Side To Side' is currently looking like it might out-peak 'Into You' & potentially go Top 10, maybe even as soon as next week... 'Side To Side' is also getting good YouTube updates as well. :D

I`ve had a great week thanks, you?
Yea i don`t think Gaga will be getting top 10. Her start on the charts has been very similar to how Katy Perry begun with `Rise`Went straight in a #1 but then just about made top 40. Really think the charts are changing, these big artists like Gaga, katy perry & Britney Spears ar`nt the power they use to be and it looks similar in America.
Defiantly think Sia will be hitting the top 10 and Ariana Grande has a great chance of scrapping in there (or beating her peak of `Into You`) if she can maintain the sales.
Also really hoping that on Friday, Mike Perry can climb with `The Ocean` as it`s quickly becoming one of my favourites
Piran
It's the streaming that has become the problem of them & sales always seem to fall a lot in the 2nd week. Well 'Rise' wasn't an official single, so I have a lot more hope for the lead single from her next album. I think the reason Lady Gaga is dropping in performance fast is because her fans are not used to her rock sound, like in 'Perfect Illusion', & I personally think that she should just stick with making dance-pop songs. :)
I agree with your predictions for Sia & Ariana Grande. I love 'The Ocean' & most tropical-house songs, but I doubt it'll last much longer in the Top 40 unfortunately. Sales for it don't look great right now & it's going down a bit on Spotify at the moment. It has been Top 20 in a few countries across Europe though.
R
riley
I agree. Problem with `The Ocean` is that i have not heard it once on the radio. No airplay at all.
Piran
So do you think the OCC should incorporate radio airplay into the charts then? I know it plays a big role in the Billboard Hot 100 for the US (the other website I comment on) but I disagree with it because unlike sales & streaming, you can't decide what is played.
However a song that has been huge in Europe but just can't cross over to the UK charts is 'Don't Be So Shy'... I thought that would have gained a lot on radio by now. So what songs do you like & dislike in the Top 10 right now then? :)
R
riley
Not sure if radio airly should be put into the charts but i do think that songs like `The Ocean` `Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)` should be played more on radio for the simple reason that people can hear the song and find out about it so it can boost in downloads and sales.
Tbh i like the hole top 10 right now., only song i don`t love is `Treat You Better` it`s ok but i prefer `Stitches` and IKWYDLS
