UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e August 17th 2017

Calvin Harris climbs from No.3 to No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e August 17th 2017, with Feels, and the presence of Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean show that you can have lots of big names in a song but the end result is fairly mediocre.

As such Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber drop to No.4 with Despacito, and it’s just auto-tuning with a Spanish flavour. Pass!

Coming out soon in Rag’n’Bone Man with As You Are, and on first hearing, it has the same steady pace of Human, and sounds quite an engaging track.:
