UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e February 18th 2016

Lukas Graham climbs from No.6 to No.1 with 7 Years, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e February 18th 2016, and I’ve heard this a zillion times in the gym. It sounds a lot like the opening to Michael Jackson‘s Earth Song with its plinky plonky crap, and I hate it.

As such, Zayn Malik (remember him?) drops to No.2 with Pillowtalk. God, it’s tedious. Why are those sheep buying this junk?
