Sam Smith holds on to the No.1 spot in Australia for a second week with “Too Good at Goodbyes”, even though it’s neither the top selling digital track or the most streamed song of the week.
“Too Good at Goodbyes” enters at No.1 in Canada and retains its UK summit position as well this week, and whilst overall its combined sales give it enough to score a second week here, it is NOT at the top of either the sales or streaming charts, dropping from the top to No.4 on the Digital chart and climbing from last weeks No.9 to now No.4 over on the streaming chart. The fifth week running No.1 for Ireland in “New Rules” (DL#8, ST#2) by Dua Lipa is up two places here to a new peak of No.2, and it also scores a ▲Platinum sales certification this week too.
Taylor Swift is down one spot to No.3 with her current US No.1 single “Look What You Made Me Do” (DL#3, ST#5), whilst back up one spot to No,4 is this weeks biggest selling digital track in Pink’s “What About Us” (DL#1, ST#22), with the second biggest digital song for the week being “Thunder” (DL#2, ST#13) by Imagine Dragons, which climbs back up two places to No.5 this week.
Picking up a 2x▲Platinum cert. is Macklemore’s “Glorious” (DL#11, ST#6) which is the second and final stable track within the Top 10 this week, whilst climbing three spots to a new peak of No.7 and now ▲Platinum in sales are Logic with Alessia Cara and Khalid on the US suicide-prevention hotline single “1-800-273-8255” (DL#22, ST#1), which is helped by its No.1 on the streaming chart.
Landing the highest new entry and his first Top 10 in the process is Post Malone accompanied by 21 Savage and the No.8 entry of “Rockstar” (DL#18, ST#3), the track taken from his forthcoming second album “Beerbongs and Bentleys” (no date known as yet), plus he debuts as the guest on the No.40 entry this week too.
