Top albums of the week:
1) Post Malone - 'beerbongs & bentleys' (=)
2) Post Malone - 'Stoney' (Re)
3) Drake - 'Scorpion' (+1)
4) Anne-Marie - 'Speak Your Mind' (+1)
5) The Weeknd - 'My Dear Melancholy,' (Re)
Post Malone continues to have a fantastic streak on my charts as he grabs his 3rd #1 in 11 weeks with 'Better Now'. The song now has the longest climb to the top in the history of my chart, reaching the #1 spot on its 12th week on the chart. This beats the record held by Camila Cabello's 'Crying In The Club' which reached #1 on its 9th week on the chart, and beats his own '92 Explorer' which reached the top spot on its 8th week. Worth noting is that 'Crown' by Camila Cabello reached #1 25 weeks after first charting, but it wasn't in the chart for most of that time meaning that it reached #1 on its 8th week on the chart. Since Post Malone is also at #2 on 'Jackie Chan', he becomes just the 3rd artist to hold both the #1 and #2 spot for 2 weeks, since '92 Explorer' and 'Same Bitches' were #1 and #2 4 weeks ago. The Weeknd did it for 2 consecutive weeks following the release of 'My Dear Melancholy,', and Camila Cabello has done it an eye-watering 9 times since I first started making charts.
The rest of the Top 10 is very stable, with only a couple of movements here and there, so the only other notable song in the region is Jorja Smith's 'Blue Lights', which climbs 2 places to reach the Top 10 for the first time at #10. It's previously reached #11 on 2 separate occasions, but this is the first time it's managed to go 1 step further to reach the Top 10. This marks Jorja Smith's 1st Top 10 on my chart after 'Let Me Down' narrowly missed out on a place by peaking at #18 the week that Camila Cabello held the entire Top 10. The only new entry this week comes from Ariana Grande with her new song 'God is a woman' at #34. Expect this to climb in the coming weeks.
This week in the "Post Malone Achievements Paragraph" there's a lot to talk about yet again. First, of course there's the achievement of him getting his 3rd #1 and holding both #1 and #2, but he also manages to have 2 more songs in the Top 10 at #5 and #6 for a 5th consecutive week, making him the only artist to ever have 4 songs in the Top 10 for that long consecutively. All of his songs also take climbs this week, leading to 'rockstar' and 'Otherside' tying with 'Pray For Me' as the highest climbers of the week, all up 5 places. Due to it being a very quiet week he also sees 3 re-entries right at the bottom of the chart, giving him 15 simultaneous entries this week. This, of course, is enough for him to extend the record of charting 10 or more songs simultaneously for the 12th consecutive week.
Thanks for reading everyone! :D

Hey Piran! Post Malone has done exceptionally well on my charts since the release of 'beerbongs & bentleys', with 7 Top 10s from the album (8 including 'Jackie Chan'), 3 #1s (and potentially a 4th since 'Jackie Chan' is set to go to #1 next week), 10 songs that have spent 10 or more weeks on the chart, a #1 album for 11 non-consecutive weeks (only being interrupted for 1 week by Bebe Rexha's 'Expectations'), the only album to ever spend 10 weeks at #1, all 17 full tracks from the album on the chart simultaneously (18 with 'Jackie Chan') and 10 or more songs on the chart simultaneously for 12 consecutive weeks now. Honestly, some of his achievements on my chart over the past few months are completely unprecedented, even for artists like Camila or Ed.
'God is a woman' should be taking a pretty huge climb next week, and I've just commented on your latest chart, as well as your comment on the midweek update on OCC. Speak to you soon! :D
Hey Sergej! Glad to hear that you like my Top 2 and 'God is a woman'! 'God is a woman' actually took a pretty massive climb in my most recent chart that I just uploaded, which I'm sure you'll be glad to hear, and it'll almost definitely keep climbing in charts after that as well. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Gameskiller! :)
I absolutely love the Post Malone takeover, even 'Better Now' at #1.
Outside of that, 'God Is A Woman' still debuted which is also good to see!
Awesome chart as usual & check out mine when you get the chance.
