The Biggest Songs Of The Week

It’s a Eurovision takeover this week as eight songs enter the top 40 and the highest new entry enters at no.1 by JJ with “wasted love”. Last week’s surprise no.1 by WizTheMc, bees & honey & Tyla slip to no.3 with “Show me Love” while Ravyn Lenae climbs to no.2 with “love me not”.

Ariana Grande finally slips from the top of the album chart after 8 non consecutive weeks at no.1. Replacing her is a return to the top for Sam Fender spending a 3^rd non consecutive week at the top with “people watching”.

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, Billie Piper entered the Uk charts with “Day & Night”. She has an impressive new entry this week at no.14. Meanwhile Britney Spears with “Oops!...I did it again” & Mandy Moore with “Candy” remain in the top 40.

Longest chart runners:

1. Chappell Roan – Pink Pony Club –38 weeks
2. Sam Fender - People Watching – 27 weeks
3. Lola Young – Messy – 25 weeks
