Waffle's Current Favourites - Week of May 11, 2024

The album bombs just keep on coming...although the new album from Dua Lipa had a smaller impact than some of the other recent ones, as well as her previous album Future Nostalgia. Case in point, the Top 5 remains almost exactly the same as last week: "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan holding steady at #1, "we can't be friends (wait for your love)" by Ariana Grande at #2, and "Clean (Taylor's Version)" still holding tight at #3. The only movements we saw were "The Tortured Poets Department" by Taylor Swift at #4 switching spots with Olivia Rodrigo's "obsessed" down to #5.

We have 3 new arrivals from Radical Optimism, with "Falling Forever" at #9, "Happy For You" at #15, and "These Walls" at #17, plus more in the Bubbling Under. We also say goodbye to another long-timer from late last year, as "New Romantics (Taylor's Version)" makes its exit after spending a week at #1 and 28 weeks total.
