Alan Walker's Faded notches up another week atop European Border Breakers Chart

The latest European Border Breakers Chart is out.

Proving to be the European radio hit of the summer is Alan Walker's Faded, still at No.1 in its 23rd week on the chart, and seeing airplay in no fewer than 20 countries. 

The single leads an unchanging Top 3, with a second week at No.2 for This Girl by Kungs vs. Cookin' On 3 Burners and Dua Lipa's Be The One holding onto third place. Jonas Blue's Fast Car feat. Dakota also remains at No.4 for another week.

UK acts make up just a quarter of hits in the Top 20, with Dua Lipa and Jonas Blue joined by Years & Years (Desire, No.18 and King, No.20) and Sigala, whose Easy Love makes a large leap from No.41 to No.19. 

Also joining - or rejoining - the Top 20 is Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) feat. Jasmine Thompson by Germany's Felix Jaehn, moving 62-11, and Frans, with If I Were Sorry (No.16). The Swedish track is also one of the newest on the chart, with only three weeks in its lifespan.
