The Biggest Songs Of The Week

It’s a surprise no.1 this week, as Madonna’s “like a prayer” climbs to the top spot only just leapfrogging Chappell Roan. “Like a prayer” which was originally released in 1989, follows Kate Bush who had a 11 week stint at no.1 in 2022 with her 1985 smash hit “Running up that hill”. Following her performance at the Olympics closing ceremony as part of the handover to L.A, Billie Eilish climbs to a new peak at no.3 with “birds of a feather”.

It has been a great week for Khalid who has a mammoth 8 songs in the top 40 and in doing so, his album “Sincere” is this weeks no.1, knocking Taylor Swift to no.2.

Longest chart runners:

Ariana Grande – We can’t be friends (wait for your love) – 23 weeks in chart
Sabrina Carpenter – Espresso – 18 weeks
Sia – I forgive you – 18 weeks

Interesting to see like a prayer to number 1 following her PERFORMANCE. Birds of a feather enters the top 3 wow wow . Interesting to see the highest debut from Khalid it's such a refreshing album so personal.... Whatsapp and i can do it with a broken heart steady in the top 10 as well charli xcx seems the album is promoted better than previous projects . Woah woah boy bye finally enters the top in it's 17th week like longest climb??? .just in time with the album out too . Espresso dips from top 10 and Ariana Grande too lol didn't expect that happening but it's been a while good ride in the top 10. Interesting to see the debut from David, clean bandit together haven't listened to it . Angel of my dreams spends a month in the top 20 that's the most enduring song from a soloist little mix member. Fortnight finally dips out of the top 20. Like the hot debuts from Khalid as he makes 8 appearances wow wow . Almost similar to mine not all but 70% i see that he moves to a new peak to number 1...... which is excellent. Moments is the only debut from Chloe album it's a good album better than her previous work.... im rooting for her music a lot particularly a normani COLLAB. Why why why is a good return different sound though more of contemporary pop similar to alessia cara dead im rooting for their ALBUMS .i see Chappell charting with a few songs interesting to see if she might be nominated for GRAMMY awards. Chloe album appearance at #6 not bad ...

Hi Zack!

Nice to see "Like A Prayer" at the top, thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine (a movie I still haven't seen yet). I also like "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" reaching the top 3, "Red Wine Supernova" gain huge and the debuts for "Bright Lights", "Cry Baby" and the Khalid debuts.

Thank you for your comment and take care.
