SPOTIFY STANDINGS: THE WORLD GOES TO THE "BEATLES"

Following twelve weeks at atop Spotify's Global Top 200, something has finally unseated The Chainsmokers f/Halsey's "Closer" (Disruptor/Columbia). That something is Rae Sremmurd's "Black Beatles" (Eardruma/Interscope), which serves as the anthem behind those viral Mannequin Challenge videos. "Black Beatles" goes #9-1 on that chart this week, while holding at #1 on the U.S. chart for a second week and debuting in the U.K. Top 10 at #4.

Across the pond, Atlantic U.K. act Clean Bandit dethrones James Arthur's "Say You Won't Let Go" (SYCO) with their "Rockabye," which features Sean Paul and Anne-Marie. Meanwhile, Polydor's NEIKED (signed to Republic in the U.S.) debuts in the U.K. Top 10 at #8.
