Harry Styles holds eight week at #1 + Top 10-comeback for Calvin Harris with Dua Lipa

Supported by the success of Harry’s House, Harry Styles’s “As It Was” keeps an eighth non-consecutive week atop the chart, extending its reign as the longest-running Number 1-single of the year so far. It also is the second highest-scoring single of 2022 so far, with Antoon his “Hallo” being the highest. The single is again the most-streamed single of the week, having amassed over twenty combined streams. Harry Styles fights off great competition from Lizzo her “About Damn Time”, which remains in second place for a third week. Jack Harlow re-joins the race for Number 1 with “First Class”, moving back up to third place aided by growing streaming success.

Meanwhile, Calvin Harris makes a Top 10-comeback with the hypnotic “Potion” taken from his highly anticipated LP Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2. The Scottish DJ scored a minor hit with “By Your Side” [#6] last year, but his last major international success has to be the 2019-hit “Giant” [#10]. For his new song “Potion”, Harris recruits Dua Lipa and Young Thug, with who he previously collaborated with on “One Kiss” [#1] and “Heatstroke” [#14], respectively. “Potion” can also be considered a small comeback for Dua Lipa, after her collaboration “Sweetest Pie” [#11] with Megan Thee Stallion became her first ever single to miss the Top 10 on my personal chart. Supported by growing streaming success and a steamy music video, “Potion” debuts at #7 this week.

Mabel and 24kGolden jump up ten places with their new synth-inspired duet “Overthinking”, reaching a new peak at #9 this week. The duo previously collaborated on the #2-hit “Tick Tock” with Clean Bandit in 2020. The song is the follow-up to Mabel her Top 10-anthem “Let Them Know” [#4] and the Jax Jones-collab “Good Luck” [#25], which sadly underperformed and became her first single in nearly four years to miss the Top 10. Overall, “Overthinking” is Mabel her sixteenth Top 10-single. It precedes her upcoming second studio album About Last Night, which will be released in a month.

Further down, Spanish-German singer Álvaro Soler debuts at #31 with his new radio-hit “Solo Para Ti” featuring DJ Topic. Soler rose to fame in 2015 and scored back-to-back summer hits with “El Mismo Sol” [#1], “Sofía” [#1] and “La Cintura” [#3]. For his new single, he recruits Croatian-German producer Topic, best known from the 2019-hit “Breaking Me” [#7]. The summer-infused “Solo Para Ti” is already a big radio hit in The Netherlands and Belgium, which could soon result in mainstream chart success and earn Soler another memorable hit.

At #35, Mimi Webb enters the chart with “Goodbye”, the heartfelt follow-up to her Number 1 “House on Fire”. It marks the British singer her fifth Top 40-hit to date. Finally, Dutch and Belgian pop giants Snelle and Metejoor join forces on “Kijk Ons Nou”. Both singers are big chart forces in their respective countries, scoring big hits with “1 Op Een Miljoen”, “Blijven Slapen” and “Rendez-Vous”. Together, they debut at #39, supported by playlisting and radio exposure.
