Chart - 30 October 2020

Week 44

Without much competition, this week Ariana Grande 'positions' herself at the top of the chart, giving her her third No. 1 single and her second as a solo artist. As a result, All Time Low's 'Summer Daze (Seasons, Pt. 2)' is deposed again for the second time, landing at No. 2.

Holding strong at its fourth week at No. 3 is Sigala's 'Lasting Lover', which doesn't look like it's going any time soon. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' gains a place to No. 4, on the way to a slow recovery.

It really looked like it might be 24kGoldn's chance considering the climb to No. 2 last week, unfortunately this week 'Mood' goes in reverse, dropping three places to No. 5. 

The week's second highest new entry is unorthodox in a way that it was released on the same day this chart is compiled. However, because the chart only stops counting when it is being compiled, any new releases released on the day itself may enter. Debuting at midnight local time, Gary Barlow's 'Incredible' scores a second Top 10 hit for the British singer-songwriter at No. 7, his other hit 'Elita' trailing behind at No. 14 after falling eight places. Directly below 'Incredible' are three All Time Low songs clumped together to form the rest of the Top 10, with only 'Sleeping In' ascending while the rest descends.

Three more new entries populate the lower echelons of the chart, with Harry Styles' 'Golden' landing at No. 16, Internet Money's 'Lemonade' debuting at No. 18 and KSI's 'Really Love' making an appearance at No. 19. The Top 20 is completed with a re-entry by Dua Lipa with 'Don't Start Now' at No. 20, following a Strictly performance.
