The latest European Border Breakers Chart is out.
French hit This Girl, by Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners, continues to dominate the European Border Breakers Chart for another week, with airplay in 19 European countries as it enters its 10th week in the chart.
Former No.1 Faded, from Norway-via-Northampton's Alan Walker, hangs on to No.2 once more, but UK's Dua Lipa moves 6-3 with new track Hotter Than Hell - could it achieve what previous single Be The One (currently at No.6 itself) couldn't, and take the top spot?
One of the newest entries comes from Germany's Freischwimmer, with California Dreamin. It jumps 25-11 to enter the Top 20 in just its fourth week. Equally impressive is Honne's Someone That Loves You feat. Izzy Bizu. The UK track has leapt nearly 20 places from 37-28 in its fifth week in the chart.
The UK, incidentally, has just four tracks in the Top 20 this week, while France and Norway each have five. Also worth keeping an eye on is the entry at No.20 itself, as Alan Walker joined Dua Lipa in having two tracks in the shortlist - Sing Me To Sleep, which has only been getting airplay for three weeks, has moved 22-20.
