TOP 10 ALBUMS of the week

1. Ava Max – Heaven & Hell (up 1)

David Guetta/Sia hold on for a third consecutive week at number 1 on the singles chart with “Lets Love”. Birdy was the strongest contender this week with her former number 1 “Open your heart” climbing back up to number 2. Kygo & Donna Summer slipped to number 3 with “Hot stuff”. ZAYN misses out on the top 40 altogether (was not digging the song).

There was a change at the top of the album charts as last week’s no.2 Ava Max climbed up to number 1 with “Heaven & Hell” only just ahead of Alicia Keys who slips to number 2. Taylor Swift remains in the top 3 since the release of “Folklore”. On a singles perspective, Taylor Swift wins the battle between the three with 3 singles in the top 40 compared to 2 apiece for Ava Max & Alicia Keys.

Bubbling under the chart:

Evie Irie – Little More Love

Travis Scott ft Young Thug & M.I.A - Franchise

The Weeknd – King of the fall

Potential new entries next week: Too many releases next week! Top 40 will look a lot different!!!

London Grammar – Californian Soil (HUGE contender for next week’s number 1???)

Demi Lovato – Still have me (a beautiful ballad that could battle for number 1)

Shawn Mendes – Wonder (a nice slow piano song until it blows up in the chorus – no Camila? – could do well next week)

Ella Henderson & Roger Sanchez  - Dream on me (this could be a great collab, remember Roger Sanchez’s number 1 “Another Chance” all those years ago?

BLACKPINK – Lovesick Girls (can they follow up their previous top 5 hit – Ice Cream?)

BLACKPINK ft Cardi B – Bet you wanna

Kodaline ft Gabrielle Aplin – Everyone Changes (remix) (I love Gabrielle Aplin, so this could do well next week)

Jojo – The Change (I’m assuming this is the “Jojo” with yet another song? Might be wrong!)

Ella Mai – Not another love song (I expect this to do better in USA than UK)

Megan Thee Stallion ft Young Thug – Don’t Stop

Becky Hill – Space

Dua Lipa ft DaBaby – Levitating remix (I think she is overdoing it now with all the remixes, I can’t see this doing well on my chart?)

Jorja Smith ft Popcaan – Come over

Julia Michaels – Lie like this

Jordin Sparks – Homebody (here’s hoping for a great song for a great comeback?)

Cher Lloyd – One Drink Away

Cascada – I’m feeling it

New albums:

I got excited for a second when I thought Lana Del Rey was releasing a new album!...turns out it is just a spoken word album for her new poetry book ....

BLACKPINK release their debut album “The Album” which could battle for the number 1 spot next week?  Meanwhile Mariah Carey releases “The Rarities”. Not sure what to make of this album as it sounds to me like the unreleased tracks on this album never quite made the cut, so can’t be that good? Other album releases include Bon Jovi with “2020”.
