UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e October 6th 2016

Climbing to No.1, from one place below, in the UK Top 100 Music chart summary w/e October 6th 2016, is the 2012 X-Factor winner James Arthur with Say You Won’t Let Go, and it’s puke-inducing, romantic, sloppy trash, which sounds like it was written in 5 minutes. Whoever bought this needs their head read.

There’s a new entry into the Top 10 at No.3 for The Weeknd Feat. Daft Punk with Starboy and, bizarrely, One Direction’s Niall Horan does enter the charts with This Town, but… at No.100!

New out this week is a new track from Robbie Williams with Party Like A Russian, and while the song’s not up to much, the video is interesting 😉
