Luke’s Top Tracks - Charli xcx maintains her position at the top with many big climbs | Charts

Well, this week we’re seeing some great change on the chart! Some artists are moving down with other returning and newer talent making waves in the top ten. It’s all the same at #1, though, with Charli xcx’s “Chains of Love” maintaining her place at the top for the third consecutive week. Following closely behind is a climb of one place for Lorde’s “What Was That” at #2. And rounding off this week’s top three is a huge surprise climb of twenty-four places for Fontaines D.C.’s “I Love You”, potentially following the huge headline announcement at Reading & Leeds and their heavy appearance on my 2025 Wrapped.

Well done to KNEECAP who secure this week’s highest new entry with “H.O.O.D” at #35! The Irish band are fast-emerging as one of the biggest upcoming artists and are only set to grow even more.

Other new/re-entries:

Lorde - Perfect Places (re, #27)
Bleachers - Merry Christmas, Please Don’t Call (re, #33)
Brenda Lee - Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree (re, #37)
Charli xcx - Von dutch (re, #40)
Wicked Movie Cast - No One Mourns the Wicked (#41)
Olivia Dean - The Art of Loving (Intro) (re, #42)
Lorde - No Better (re, #43)
Frank Sinatra - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (#44)

Keo - I Lied, Amber (#46)
Ariana Grande - Popular (#47)
Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over (re, #48)
Inhaler - Hole in the Ground (#50)

Congratulations to Fontaines D.C. who climb a huge 24 places this week with “I Love You”, reaching a brand new peak of #3! This song has had a long ride on the chart, first appearing in 2022, but now marks itself as the band’s joint-highest charting song with “It’s Amazing to be Young”!
