Waffle's Current Favourites - Week of August 26, 2023

So this week was pretty slow...but we do have one extra special event that happened here, and it's right up top. After 22 weeks on the chart, and 4 whole years after its release and its original debut at #10, "Cruel Summer" finally takes over the #1 spot - another huge milestone for Taylor Swift, as only her own "august" took longer to reach #1 in terms of the number of weeks, and this also is right up there with "Suddenly Strangers" for the oldest song to reach #1 since its original release. Definitely pretty insane stuff, and it's easily the only big story of this week, as there really wasn't much else going on here. "bad idea right?" falls down on #2, but this isn't exactly going anywhere any time soon thanks to Olivia's album coming soon. Then we have a duo of Carly Rae Jepsen songs: "Psychedelic Switch" down to #3, and "Shy Boy" holding at #4. Finally, we have "Love Is A Highway" by NURKO and NERIAH still at #5. No debuts this week.
