Luke’s Top Tracks - Charli xcx establishes her BRAT empire

Well, it’s safe to say that we’ve had an interesting week of streams and sales. This week’s top ten appears incredibly different to the last, in part this is thanks to the recent release of Charli xcx’s BRAT remix album! Charli opens at #1 with a huge rebound of seven places for arguably her biggest hit this year, “Guess featuring billie eilish”; adding a fifth week to her record stint at #1. Following closely behind is another climb of ten places for “Apple” from the original BRAT album, another former #1 that spent three weeks at the top. And rounding off this week’s top three is a non-mover for Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!”, enjoying another week at its peak. All of these songs have been huge hits this year and are enjoying huge success this week! Other songs from the non-remix album have seen massive success this week; the OG “Sympathy is a knife” reaches a new high of #6, “Rewind” rebounds into the top 20 and the OG “I might say something stupid” enters the top fifty for the first time. Some huge achievements!

It’s clear to see that Charli xcx is enjoying huge chart success just two days after the release of “Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat”; but what will the chart look like after over a whole week of tracking? We’ve already got some huge new entries this week, namely “I think about it all the time”, “Apple” and “Sympathy is a knife”, which open at #11, #13 and #14 respectively; could they challenge “Guess” for that coveted #1 next week and bag Charli her fourth #1?
