The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Raye grabs her first ever no.1 on my chart with her viral hit “escapism” in its 11^th week on the top 40 following a long battle with SZA’s “nobody gets me” which slips to number 2. It’s better news for SZA on the album front, where she holds on for a 4^th consecutive week at no.1 but just narrowly holding off Taylor Swift at no.2. Meanwhile, Remi reaches a new peak at no.7 on the singles chart with “calm down” in it’s 12^th week in the top 40.

Longest chart runners:

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (31 consecutive weeks)
Sam Fender – Getting Started (24 non consecutive weeks)
Dermot Kennedy – Kiss me (18 consecutive weeks)
D.Guetta/ Bebe Rexha – I’m good (blue) (18 non consecutive weeks)

Next week, look out for new single releases including a remix from Stormzy and BBC Sound of 2023 winners “Flo”, a collaboration between Sigala & MNEK, a remix from Ava Max & Nathan Dawe.

On the album front, Gabrielle Aplin returns with her new album “phosphorescent”. It is 9 years since she released her debut album “English rain” which ended up as the biggest album of the year on my chart.

Hey there, look who's back! If you were wondering - yes, I deleted my previous account and opened a new one.
I loved seeing "Midnights", "Renaissance", and "Dawn FM" still on your album chart, especially since the latter is about to mark a year since its release!
And as for the songs chart, I loved that "Creepin'" made it to the top 5, as well as the re-entry for "Bejeweled" and also the surprising entry, it must be said, of "Alone Pt. II", since it belongs to the producer's previous era.
Great chart!

Hi Zack!
Nice to see "Escapism." at the top, "Calm Down" gaining to the top 10, the big gains for "10:35" and "Kill Bill", the debuts for "Back To You", "Alone, Pt. II" and "Firebabe" and the returns for "Bejeweled", "One Life", "Another Love" and "Uh Oh".
Great chart!

Escapism at a new peak wow wow i didn't expect it to reach the top spot . Shirt maintaining in the top 5 wow loving the new peak for Calm Down which is the number 1 Global excluding American billboard . Like the new peak of Kill Bill

Liked the rebound of Unholy ,Im Good and snow on the beach interesting to see what happens with sza album performance around the world . Im impressed with her reentries tracks .Nobody gets me still the highest charting for her on your chart. Wonder which will be steady in coming weeks or it will fall off easily the chart
