THESE SPOTIFY STANDINGS ARE LAZER SHARP

Major Lazer has officially unseated Drake on all three of our represented Spotify charts (U.S., U.K. and Global), as "Cold Water"—the Mad Decent/Def Jam tune with Justin Bieber and MØ—slides to #1 in the U.S., leapfrogging over "One Dance" (YMCMB/Republic).

Meanwhile, The Chainsmokers f/Halsey's new single, "Closer" (Columbia), enters the worldwide chart at #9 and joins the stateside one at #3

Across the pond, Calum Scott's "Dancing on My Own" (Virgin EMI) appears to round out the Top 10. In case you're an uninformed Yank, Scott was a fan favorite on last year's season of Britain's Got Talent.
