The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Sam Fender holds onto the top spot for a third consecutive week with “Rein me in” with Olivia Dean. Olivia Dean climbs up to a new peak at no.2 with “nice to each other” while Jade spends a 3^rd week in the top 3.

The highest new entry this week is from Eurovision Queen Loreen with “Echoes” entering at no.7. Lorde remains at no.1 on the album chart with “virgin” for a 2^nd consecutive week.

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, The Corrs released the summer smash hit “Breathless”, meanwhile Jessica Simpson released “I think I’m in love with you”. This week they both enter my top 40 at no.12 and no. 18 respectively.
