On the British singles chart, Major Lazer with Justin Bieber and MØ spend their fourth week at #1 out of four weeks on the chart with "Cold Water"...

In this rather slow week on the chart, the top debut doesn't show up until #60, as American pop/rock band OneRepublic is in with "Kids". It follows "Wherever I Go", which went to #29 earlier this year...
