'Despacito' enters fifth week at number one on the singles chart

Luis Fonsi remains top of the Irish singles chart this week, with the Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee assisted ‘Despacito’ taking the top slot for the fifth week in a row.

The entirety of this week’s top five remains identical to last week’s. Another Bieber feature in DJ Khaled’s ‘I’m the One’ takes second place, with Shawn Mendes’ recent 3arena date no doubt helping ‘There’s Nothing Holding Me Back’ into third.

Mullingar’s boy wonder Niall Horan remains the highest-placed Irish entry on the list - ‘Slow Hands’ is now entering its fourth week on the chart. Dublin DJ John Gibbons is the next-highest, with his ‘P.Y.T’ cover coming in at number 27.

This year’s chart-smasher ‘Shape of You’ remains in the top 10, but just about. The wildly-successful Ed Sheeran single comes in at ninth place, a fall of three places from last week. It’s spent 21 weeks on the chart - 14 of those at number one.

18 year old Texan Maggie Lindemann’s single ‘Pretty Girl’ continues to rise, with a jump of three places to 7th this week no doubt fuelled by her army of social media stans.
