The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Doechii’s viral hit “Anxiety” climbs up one spot to this week’s no.1. It’s her first no.1 on my chart. Dermot Kennedy climbs up to a new peak at no.2 with “Let me in”.

Tate McRae holds onto the no.1 spot for a 2^nd week on the album chart in a tightly contested 4 week race this week also involving Sam Fender, The Weekend and Lady Gaga.

It has been 25 years since I can recall listening to music in my childhood and therefore as a 25^th anniversary this year, songs which reach 25 years old may enter my weekly top 40. On this week, 25 years ago, Mel C & the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes were at no.1 with “Never be the same again”. It enters at this week’s no.37. Meanwhile Santana & Rob Thomas duet “Smooth” enters at no.38.

Longest chart runners:

1. Chappell Roan – Pink Pony Club –30 weeks
2. Rose & Bruno Mars - APT. – 23 weeks
3. Sam Fender - People Watching – 19 weeks
