The Biggest Songs of The Week!

In the week of Eurovision, the top 40 is no longer dominated by the song contest as in previous years but nevertheless, the top 3 positions on the chart have done just that. Dara from Bulgaria is the no.1 song of the week and Delta Goodrem returns with “Eclipse” at no 3 in a tight 3 horse race. The question is whether the songs can carry momentum in the weeks ahead which is typically unlikely with the exception of Loreen in previous years.

Michael Jackson otherwise would have had this week’s number one with “Billie Jean” if it was not for Eurovision as he climbs to no.4. He now has 4 songs in the top 40 and it see’s his compilation album from his biopic movie climb to no.1 ahead of Dermot Kennedy.

Meanwhile the 45 week reign in the top 40 from Sam Fender & Olivia Dean is finally over as “Rein me in” narrowly slips out of the top 40

Longest current chart runners:

1. Olivia Dean - Man I need - 40 weeks
2. Raye – Where is my husband – 29 weeks
