Black Magic – Little Mix Are You With Me – Lost Frequencies Shine – Years & Years House Every Weekend – David Zowie Come And Get It – John Newman Show Me Love – Sam Feldt ft: Kimberly Anne How Deep Is Your Love – Calvin Harris & Disciples Shut Up & Dance – Walk The Moon Cheerleader – OMI (Felix Jaehn Remix) Waiting For Love - Avicii Easton Corbain has struck a chord as its popularity shows no sign of abating despite being top of the chart nearly a month ago. Its popularity rise is on the strength of high streaming. J ohn Newman scored the highest debuting song with ‘Come And Get It’ which checked on the UK chart at No: 5. The soul/pop track by the English singer songwriter see him return to the UK top 10 after nearly two years. The track is the lead release from Newman’s next album ‘Revolve’ which is coming out on 16th October. When Newman released his debut single ‘Love Me Again’ it debuted straight at the top of the UK chart in 2013. C alvin Harris & the Disciples made entry to the UK singles chart with ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ at No: 7. The deep-house track was termed as a summer smash but it seriously lacks the synthesiser build up associated with other Harris smashers. For the lesser know collective Disciples the single ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ with Calvin Harris is a kick start to what they would like internationally. The trio of producer/ musician and singer will release their standalone single in the last quarter of the year.
