Luke’s Top Tracks - Ethel Cain re-claims “Punish” for a seventh non-consecutive week at the top

Well, after an interesting week of streams and quite a lot of movement at the top, we have a change in #1! But it’s nothing new — “Punish” by Ethel Cain climbs two places back to the top for a seventh non-consecutive week, and a third overall stint! The song spent an impressive five weeks at the top back in November/December, and is now back for more! It is her longest-running chart-topper so far, and isn’t going anywhere. Well done! Following closely behind, we have a non-mover for Ethel Cain’s “American Teenager”, standing tall after claiming a fourth week at #1 just two weeks back. And rounding off this week’s top three is a huge climb of three places for Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” at #3, returning to its original peak. A huge week for enduring hits! Meanwhile, last week’s #1 “Pink Pony Club” retreats four spots to five following the song becoming her second chart-topper!

Well, an interesting week of streams and sales, but who could challenge Ethel Cain this week? She’s ferociously come back into domination, with three of her songs in this week’s top ten. However, massive climbs can be seen further down. She herself has climbed seven places with “Onanist”. Lorde’s “Solar Power” is this week’s highest climber, up a massive FIFTEEN places to #33, having not charted since it reached its peak in 2021. Might it continue to climb following the Lorde Renaissance we have seen this year? Chappell Roan’s “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl” also rebounds a huge eleven places to #26. Ariana Grande’s “twilight zone” also breaks into the top ten, gaining a brand new peak of #7. Could she challenge for next #1? We’ll have to wait and see.
