UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e March 9th 2017

Staying at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e March 9th 2017, is Ed Sheeran with Shape Of You. He’s trying a bit of reggae, and it’s terrible.

The only new entry in the Top 10 is Calvin Harris with Slide.

Out this week is a new track from Mike + The Mechanics called Don’t Know What Came Over Me. It’s another decent track from them, but like all the rest, in terms of commercial success, it always feels more like a pet project for Mike Rutherford as they haven’t had a big hit since the 90s… or any hits! Still, he’s loaded, so what does he care?
