My Favourite Songs, Albums and Artists of All Time: https://crownnote.com/charts/gameskiller01/my-favourite-songs-of-all-time

Top albums of the week:

1) Ariana Grande - 'thank u, next' (=)
2) AJ Tracey - 'AJ Tracey' (=)
3) Post Malone - 'beerbongs & bentleys' (=)
4) Nina Nesbitt - 'The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change' (=)
5) Ed Sheeran - 'x' (=)

For the 4th consecutive week, Ariana Grande rules the chart, as 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' spends a 2nd consecutive week at #1, becoming her 3rd track to spend multiple weeks at #1. Ariana continues to rule the entire Top 3, with 'bad idea' stable at #2, while 'bloodline' drops 2 to #5. At #3 the (arguably) most succesful song in the entire history of my chart, 'God is a woman', rebounds 3 places due to me listening to this live version a lot this week. Coincidentally, its rebound this week coincides with its 33rd consecutive week in the Top 10, now passing the 32 non-consecutive weeks 'Bloodstream' has spent in the region and making it the longest running Top 10 hit ever! It also spends its 29th non-consecutive week in the Top 5; it passed 'Bloodstream's 20 weeks a while back. Ariana also stays at #6 with 'fake smile' and #9 with 'needy'.

At #4 Tom Walker sees a monumental climb for his track 'Not Giving In', which is up 34 places this week. It passes the 31 place climbs 36-5 for Eminem's 'Without Me' and 34-3 for 'God is a woman', the 32 place climb 36-4 for 'Passionfruit', and the 33 place climb 34-1 for 'Bloodstream', and falls behind only the 35 place climb 37-2 for 'She Loves Control'. It becomes Tom Walker's 2nd Top 10, following his #9 peak on Rudimental's 'Walk Alone'. Lewis Capaldi also has an extremely good week as his 'Grace' climbs 13 places to #8 and 'Someone You Loved' climbs 12 to #10. They become his 1st and 2nd Top 10s, and he is one of only a few artists to have 2 simultaneous Top 10s, and one of much fewer to manage it without an album release. Keep an eye on these tracks, they'll likely be climbing even more in the coming weeks.

At #16 and #18 AJ Tracey's 'Ladbroke Grove' and 'Butterflies' climb 1 place to new peaks, while the week's highest debut comes from 2 Chainz & Ariana Grande with 'Rule The World' at #20. Dave's 'Black' climbs 4 to #25 to reach a new peak (his album, released today, it set to make a huge impact on my next chart), while Martin Jensen and James Arthur debut at #26 with 'Nobody'. Ariana Grande is doing just as well near the bottom of the charts as she is near the top, as 'My Everything' tracks 'One Last Time' and 'Love Me Harder' climb to new peaks of #27 and #30, while 'Sweetener' tracks 'breathin', 'everytime' and 'no tears left to cry' re-enter at #31, #35 and #39. Ariana has a total of 20 simultaneous entries this week, the highest amount ever, passing Camila Cabello & Eminem with 19 and Ed Sheeran & Post Malone with 18! Lastly, Tom Walker & Zara Larsson debut at #40 with 'Now You're Gone'.

Thanks for reading everyone! :D
