Kanye West Scores His Highest UK Singles Chart Debut In Nine Years With "I Love It"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Calvin Harris and Sam Smith keep the Number 1 spot on the UK's Singles Chart for a second week with Promises, while Kanye West makes a strong debut with his latest single I Love It.
Claiming its strongest sales and streaming week yet (63,000 combined sales), Promises leads the UK Chart by a clear margin of 8,000 units. His tenth UK chart topper, Calvin has scored more UK Numbers 1 this decade than any other artist, and has had more songs hit the peak of the UK Chart than any other Scottish act.

Loud Luxury's Body ft. Brando rises one place to a new peak of Number 4, and Tyga's Taste ft. Offset nails on a new personal best for both rappers at Number 5.
