Luke’s Top Tracks - Lorde makes it four consecutive weeks at the top

Her reign’s not over just yet! Lorde spends another week at #1 with “What Was That”, which has remained at the top following its release four weeks ago. She now spends a fourth week at the top, one of the longest runs at the top this year (bar Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra, which spent 7 weeks at #1). What an impressive feat, and expect her to stick around even longer! Following closely behind is a non-mover for Lady Gaga’s “Solar Power” which keeps its peak of #2. And rounding off this week’s top three - it’s not going anywhere - “Perfect Places” is a non-mover at #3!

After a pretty constant top ten this week, is there anyone that could possibly threaten her success? Of course, there’s every chance she could dethrone herself, but let’s look at some other people. The obvious is Charli xcx’s “party 4 u” becoming this week’s highest new entry at #4; the song from her 2020 album “how i’m feeling now” returns to the top 50 following a huge surge in virality and the recent music video release! She has every chance to snatch that #1 spot. Let’s not ignore this week’s Eurovision entries; our own Remember Monday enter at #27 with “What the Hell Just Happened”, Miriam Conte enters at #40 with “SERVING” and Erika Vikman rounds it all off with “ICH KOMME” at #48! These songs may also climb next week. Ethel Cain’s “Ptolemaea” is this week’s highest climb, up a huge 13 spots to #35, making a resurgence! But that top spot is for anyone’s taking.

Other new/re-entries:

• Charli xcx - Girl, so confusing featuring lorde (re, #32)
• FKA Twigs - Eusexua (re, #33)
