UK Top 100 Music chart summary & my views w/e May 2nd 2015

Wiz Khalifa Feat. Charlie Puth stay at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music Chart w/e May 2nd 2015, and it’s a drippy ballad from Fast And Furious 7. Bleah! Mucho vomito! In fact, I think I’d rather hear the theme from '80s kids TV show Wizbit!

There’s just one new entry in the Top 10, at No.4 for Clean Bandit with Stronger, and it’ll go down well in nightclubs but it’s not really a patch on Rather Be.

Highlight of this week is Markus Feehily, who goes in at No.56 with Love Is A Drug. I wouldn’t normally big up a song from someone from Westlife, but this is completely different from anything they ever produced and I was surprised to find how much I liked it:
