A new Drake album (or content-dump) is released, shaking up the chart as usual; he performs two of the tracks here as a nice sampler. There are also big entries from Justin Bieber, our own AJ Tracey, and the super-duo Silk Sonic.

The Tiesto track has been climbing relentlessly for several weeks now, so it's good to invite him back for a reprise. Ella and Tom are also back again with their cheeky ditty, and we say helloooooo to the enigmatic Masked Wolf.
