The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Olivia Dean grabs her 2^nd no.1 song of the year as “Man I Need” climbs to no.1. It follows her no.1 duet “Rein me in” with Sam Fender (which remains in the top 20) and her no.2 smash “Nice to each other”. She will be favourite for the no.1 album spot next week when her album comes out despite hot competition from Doja Cat, Perrie, Mariah Carey and Zara Larsson.

Lewis Capaldi has the highest new entry this week at no.3 with “Something in the Heavens”. Meanwhile Raye enters at 4 with “Where is my husband!”.

Lola Young has the no.1 album this week with “I’m only f**king myself” including a top 10 new entry on the singles chart with “Post Sex Clarity” which enters at no.6.

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 P!nk released “Most Girls”, which enters my chart this week at no. 20, while Billie Piper enters at no.21 with “Something Deep Inside”.

Longest chart runners:

1. Lola Young – Messy – 43 weeks
2. Chappell Roan – Casual – 29 weeks
3. Ravyn Lenae – Love me not – 27 weeks
