The Biggest Songs Of The Week

It was a close battle for the number 1 spot this week, but Lana Del Rey came on top with her surprise new single “Henry, come on”. Ariana Grande slips one spot to no.2 with “Twilight zone”. There are several climbers into the top 10 this week including Noah Cyrus, Bon Iver, Ravyn Lenae & Tom Grennan.

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, Jessica Simpson released her debut single in the UK with her underrated ballad “I wanna love you forever”. Meanwhile Fragma was no.1 in the UK 25 years ago with “Toca’s miracle”. These singles enter my chart this week at no.36 and 37 respectively.
