Luke’s Top Tracks - SZA claims her second #1, huge new entries from Ethel Cain and Fontaines D.C.

It’s certainly been a huge week of change at the top - as a direct result of that, SZA claims her second #1 and her first ever as a solo artist! It’s been almost FOUR years since herself and Doja cat hit the top with “Kiss Me More” back in 2021; needless to say she’s had huge chart success since then with multiple top ten hits, but “Kitchen” shows to be an absolute smash and has catapulted itself all the way to the top! It’s a true testament to the artistry of “LANA”, the deluxe edition to her second studio album “SOS”. Following closely behind is a climb of four places for former #1 “Punish” by Ethel Cain; the release of her ambient project “Perverts” sees a leap in performance for this massive lead single. Speaking of “Perverts”, the title track of her latest project is this week’s highest new entry at #3; a haunting 12-minute drone spectacular, rounding off this week’s top end of the chart.

Who could take that top spot next week? While SZA has firmly asserted her position at #1, she does face competition - mainly from Ethel Cain. With “Perverts” already making a huge impact just four days after its release, charting four of its songs in the top ten this week. She is definitely likely to challenge SZA - but will it be with “Punish” or will she claim her third #1? “Perverts”, “Onanist” and “Vacillator” are proving to be huge personal hits at the moment.
