UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e April 19th 2018

In the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e April 19th 2018, Drake goes straight in at No.1 with Nice For What, and it’s full of ‘MF’ this, and ‘N-word’ that… sigh.

As such, Lil Dicky (feat. Chris Brown) drops to No.2 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?

The only new entry in the Top 10 is at No.3 for Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa with One Kiss, and it’s fairly bland compared to most of what we’re normally expecting from Harris.
