Drake Keeps Calvin Harris and Rihanna At Bay

Drake (pictured) has battled all comers into submission once again, holding onto the No. 1 position in the Irish charts with ‘One Dance’ – one of the biggest records of the year so far.

The strongest opposition came from a powerful artistic force, with Calvin Harris and Rihanna snaffling the No. 2 slot with ‘This Is What You came For’. Chainsmokers featuring Daya have entered the Top 3 (up three places) with ‘Don’tLet Me Down’.

In what is otherwise a pretty static Top 10, the biggest mover of the week is Jonas Blue featuring J. P. Cooper with ‘Perfect Strangers’ – up from No. 27.

Selena Gomez makes the biggest leap of all – just one place more that Jonas Blue, as it happens – jumping from No.48 to 28 with ‘Kill Qom With Kindness’.

What’s also notable is that there is not a single track of Irish origin in the Top 30 and extraordinary state of affairs that must be put down to the very little support that Irish music receives from It=rish radio, Ponder that over the weekend, friends...
