The Biggest Songs Of The Week

On the eve of the Eurovision song contest, the overwhelming favourite Loreen has catapulted back into my top 40, and straight to no.1 with her Swedish Eurovision entry “tattoo”. It becomes her 2^nd number 1 on my chart following the success of “Euphoria” back in 2012.

Last week’s no.1 Labrinth’s (and Zendaya’s) single “The Feels” slips to number 2.

It may come as a shock but Ed Sheeran failed to get a number 1 album this week, but entered at no.2 with (-). Freya Ridings remains at the top with “Blood Orange” for a 2^nd week. Ed Sheeran also has the highest new entry this week on the singles chart with “Curtains” entering at no.17.

Longest chart runners:

1. Raye – Escapism (28 consecutive weeks)
2. Taylor Swift – Anti Hero (27 non consecutive weeks)
3. Sza – Kill Bill (20 consecutive weeks)

Look out for potential new singles to enter the top 40 from Sam Ryder, Jorja Smith, Becky Hill and a collab between Arlo Parks & Phoebe Bridgers.
