Its a busy week as Taylor Swift manages to get yet another #1 from Midnights! After a super tight battle with >5 streams separating #1 and #2 last week, 'Lavender Haze' rises to the top spot, becoming the 3rd #1 single from Midnights, Taylor's 7th #1 this year (:o) and 8th #1 overall! 'Karma' takes a huge jump of 8 spots to a new peak of #2, while Ava Max gets a 3rd consecutive top 3 debut with 'Weapons' at #3. 'Anti-Hero' is #4 and last week's #1 '10:35' slips to #5. In The Top 10 there is a new one from Kim Petras; 'If Jesus Was A Rockstar' at #9.
Further down the chart there are several tracks from Louis Tomlinson's new album. 'Out Of My System' is the highest, back in at #24, and it leads 6 Louis tracks in the chart this week. This week marks 1 year since the biggest album of all time on my chart, Red (Taylor's Version). All 3 #1s from it debut within the top 25; 'All Too Well' at #15, 'Red' at #19 and 'Message In A Bottle' at #22. There is also the beginnings of Christmas trickling in. Taylor's 'Christmas Tree Farm' makes #45 this week, while Mariah's classic is just in at #50. Last Year, both peaked at #6 and #5 respectively. Can they best those peaks?! Becky Hill also makes a christmas impression as her song 'Only You' for the 2022 McDonald's ad enters at #49!
Next week, expect impact from Dermot Kennedy's new album (though it might be smaller than expected👀) And more Christmas music entering as my town's Christmas Light Switch-On event happens this weekend!

Glad you like Lavender Haze & Karma in the top 3! Calm Down could keep climbing, as could the christmas songs! Weapons, Only You and the Louis songs are to fall though.
Thanks for commenting!

Hey Conor! The stream of Midnight #1s doesn't look like it's running dry any time soon. Nice to see some Red TV returns too, All Too Well is my favourite of the 3 glad to see that the highest. The Louis Tomlinson mini bomb is great as well, Out Of My System is my favourite from the album. Christmas is beginning to defrost here already. Nice chart, look forward to seeing Sonder's impact next week.

Haha you're very right there CJ! Its strange because with most of Taylor's albums I normally have a favourite track/ top 3 easily, but with midnights its always changing, and some songs rapidly grow on me later as seen with Karma! The Red returns will drop but should'nt fall out just yet, but Louis' bomb will almost entirely fade!
Sonder will also have less of impact than expected... I'll share my full thoughts when i publish the chart later this week!

Hey Conor! :)
Cool to see 'Lavender Haze' at the top even if it isn't one of the highlights from 'Midnights' for me.
Glad about 'Weapons' being the highest debut of the week in the Top 3, a couple of 'Red [Taylor's Version]' tracks re-entering & the Christmas takeover starting again for the new festive season!
Good chart yet again.
Take care!

Hey Piran!
Shame Lavender Haze isnt a highlight for you, but it doesn't look likely to hold at #1 for another week so maybe a better one will take it to be more your fancy!
Weapons should stay stable, but the Red tracks will drop and expect more christmas!

Hi Piran,
Nice surprise to see Ava Max debut in the top 3! Also Kim Petras debuting in top 10. Some great pop songs released this week.
Taylor still holding her own which is good to see, wonder if Anti-Hero will reach #1?
The only artist I dislike on your chart is Louis Tomilnson... sorry, haha.
Brilliant chart still :-D

Hey Conor!
Nice to see "Lavender Haze" and "Karma" reaching the top 3, the big gain for "Calm Down", the returns for the christmas songs and the debuts for "Weapons", "Only You" and the Louis Tomlinson songs.
Great chart!
