The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey have No.1 single for second week with "Closer"

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!"

Making up the rest of this week’s Top 5 are Major Lazer’s Cold Water (3), Calum Scott’s Dancing On My Own (4) and Twenty One Pilots’ Heathens (5).

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 weeks, Matoma & Becky Hill’s False Alarm finally cracks the Top 40, up 11 to Number 35.

Finally, Digital Farm Animals’ hook-up with Cash Cash and Nelly floats six places to 36, production trio Cheat Codes move five places with their Dante Klein collaboration Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On) (38), and DJ Mike Perry sneaks into the Top 40 at 39 with The Ocean ft. Shy Martin.
