UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e May 5th 2016

Drake feat. Wizkid & Kyla stays at No.1, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e May 5th 2016, with One Dance, and it’s just bland, auto-tuned blandy blandness. I find it difficult to get annoyed at such a lazy track, but I’m amazed anyone bought it.

There are no *new* entries in the Top 10, but there is a re-entry for Prince at No.6 with the classic Purple Rain. There’s also a stack of Beyonce tracks in the chart, but since they’re from her album, why would the fans buy all of them separately??

And in tribute to yet another music legend passing away, here’s Billy Paul with Me and Mrs Jones:
