The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Kylie Minogue is this week’s no.1 who has been slowly climbing up the top 10 for weeks and now finally hits the top spot with “padam padam”. Her closest competitor this week was Taylor Swift who climbs to a new peak at no.2 with “cruel summer”. A song that may stick around for the summer and may still have a chance to grab the top spot.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, she absolutely dominates the singles and album charts. Her new “Taylor’s version” of “Speak Now” enters straight in at no.1 on the album chart boasting multiple songs in the top 40 singles chart including “ I can see now” entering at no.4 boosted by an official video released earlier in the week.

Longest chart runners:

1. Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey - Snow on the beach (21 non consecutive weeks)
2. Maisie Peters - Lost The Breakup (15 consecutive weeks)
3. Raye - Flip a switch (14 consecutive weeks)

Next week, look out for potential new singles to enter the top 40 from Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Birdy, Jess Glynne and a collaboration between Becky Hill & Chase & Status.

On the album front, look out for Lauren Spencer Smith and Rita Ora making an impact in the top 10 album chart
