George Ezra Returns To UK Singles' No 1 With "Shotgun"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Persistence has paid off for George Ezra, who after four weeks of being stuck behind Drake, has returned to No 1.

Originally a two-week chart-topper in early July, Shotgun is back at the top of the UK Singles Chart, pushing Drake's In My Feelings down to No 2. The most streamed and downloaded song of the week, Shotgun is one of only four songs in the last two years to go back to No 1, including Ed Sheeran's Shape of You, Luis Fonsi's Despacito, and the song that originally knocked Shotgun from the top, Baddiel, Skinner & The Lightning Seeds' Three Lions which triumphantly returned to the top during this summer's World Cup.

Elsewhere in the Top 5, DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper and Quavo hold at No 3 with No Brainer, and Eastside by Benny Blanco, Halsey and Khalid leaps eight spots to No 4.

There's one more ascent in this week's Top 10 as Loud Luxury rise two to No 6 with Body ft. Brando, a new peak.
Jax Jones' Ring Ring ft. Mabel and Rich the Kid hits a new high of 13 this week, one place ahead of Cheat Codes & Little Mix - Only You has recorded its best position to date at 14.

Big jumps are recorded for Dennis Lloyd's Nevermind (19), Martin Garrix & Khalid's Ocean (25), and B Young's 079ME (28), plus Nicki Minaj records two songs in this week's Top 40; Bed ft. Ariana Grande is this week's highest climber, up 15 to No 23, plus Barbie Dreams bows at 36.

There's another new entry for David Guetta & Anne-Marie; Don't Leave Me Alone becomes David's 37th UK Top 40 single at No 37.

Finally, ABBA's When I Kissed The Teacher becomes a Top 40 hit for the first time, sung by Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies and Celia Imrie. Taken from Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, the song is new at No 40.
