UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e April 12th 2018

In the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e April 12th 2018, Lil Dicky (feat. Chris Brown) climbs to No.1 with Freaky Friday, and with a combination of autotune, repetitive use of the N-word and a man who beats up his girlfriend, what’s not to hate?

As such, this knocks Rudimental (feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplan) down to No.2 with These Days.

The only new entry in the Top 10 is at No.7 for The Weeknd with Call Out My Name, but while they’re usually good, this is another victim of autotune.
