Birdy holds onto the no.1 album spot for a 3^rd week with “Portraits”.

Longest chart runners:

Loreen – Tattoo (20 non consecutive weeks
Taylor Swift – Karma (20 non consecutive weeks)
SZA – Snooze (18 weeks)

Next week, look out for potential new singles to enter the top 40 from Leigh-Anne & Arya Starr, Purple Disco Machine & Duke Dumont, Chvrches, Kelly Clarkson & Lumidee.

Meanwhile Olivia Rodrigo is back with the follow up to “Sour” with her new album “GUTS”. Tinashe also releases her new EP.

Hi Zack!

Nice to see "Cruel Summer" at the top, hey, we both have the same #1! Also like the big gains for "Prada" and I like all of the debuts on here.

Great chart!
Take care.
