The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Ariana Grande returns to no.1 with “Twilight zone” giving her a 4^th non consecutive week at no.1 just ahead of Lorde who slips to no.2 with “what was that”. Ariana Grande also remains at no.1 on the album chart, gaining a 7^th non consecutive week at no.1.

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, Britney Spears topped the charts with “Oops!...I did it again” and this week see’s her return to my chart at an impressive entry at no.6. Mandy Moore released her debut single in the UK “Candy” 25 years ago which entered at no.7 last week and impressively remains in the top 20 this week only slipping down to no.13. Meanwhile Watergate released “Heart of Asia” which enters my chart at no.17.
