1) Eminem - 'Kamikaze' (=)
2) Post Malone - 'beerbongs & bentleys' (=)

4) Jorja Smith - 'Lost & Found' (=)

With an 8th consecutive week at #1, Ariana Grande's 'God is a woman' ties the all-time record for the most weeks at #1 with Camila Cabello's 'Havana'. The difference being - 'God is a woman' has done it all consecutively, as it beat the previous all-time consecutive record of 4 weeks, while 'Havana' had multiple stints at #1. If it can manage just a single more week it'll be the unchallenged most successful #1 ever on my chart - arguably, it already is! There's a couple of huge debuts in the Top 3, starting with Khalid's 'Better' at #2. This becomes Khalid's 4th Top 10 hit, and first as the sole lead artist. It's also Khalid's highest ever chart position as a lead artist, trailing only his role as a featured artist on Shawn Mendes' 'Youth', which reached #1. Finally, it's his highest ever debut on my chart, beating his previous best 'OTW', which debuted at #8.
The second massive debut is yet another entry for Eminem, as if he didn't already have enough Top 10 hits, as 'Killshot' debuts at #3. This marks the whopping 17th Top 10 hit for Eminem, putting him only 2 short of the artist with the most Top 10 hits ever on my chart - Camila Cabello has 19. Eminem overtook Ed Sheeran's 15 Top 10 hits just last week when 'Venom' climbed into the Top 10. Since Eminem has a total of 6 Top 10 entries this week, this is the first time that any artist has ever managed to hold over half the Top 10 for 3 consecutive weeks. Camila Cabello previously charted 10 and then 8 songs in the Top 10 in 2 consecutive weeks following the release of 'Camila', but then dropped all the way to just 1 on the 3rd week, while The Weeknd managed to chart 6 for 2 consecutive weeks after the release of 'My Dear Melancholy,', but then dropped to 3 on the 3rd week.
Outside of the Top 10, Post Malone hits a chart milestone as 'Candy Paint' holds at #12 on its 10th week on the chart. This is now Post Malone's 14th song to spend 10 or more weeks on the chart, tying Camila Cabello's 14 as the artists with the most songs to spend so long on the chart. All of Post's songs to hit the milestone are: 'rockstar' (50), '92 Explorer' (21), 'Better Now' (21), 'Same Bitches' (20), 'Blame It On Me' (19), 'Jackie Chan' (18), 'Over Now' (18), 'Otherside' (18), 'Rich & Sad' (15), 'Paranoid' (15), 'Zack And Codeine' (14), 'Sugar Wraith' (11), 'Psycho' (11) and 'Candy Paint' (10). Camila's songs to hit the milestone are: 'She Loves Control' (36), 'Havana' (35), 'Know No Better' (32), 'Crying in the Club' (24), 'OMG' (22), 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (22), 'Real Friends' (21), 'Hey Ma' (21), 'Crown' (20), 'All These Years' (13), 'I Have Questions' (12), 'Something's Gotta Give' (12), 'Never Be the Same' (11) and 'Bad Things' (10).
The highest climbers of the week come at #18 and #19 as 'Happier' by Marshmello & Bastille and 'Electricity' by Silk City & Dua Lipa both climb 5 places. Both songs look set to make big climbs into the Top 10 next week as well! Joyner Lucas then sees 2 new entries on the chart at #22 and #24 with 'Bank Account (Remix)' and 'Gucci Gang (Remix)', marking his 1st and 2nd entries as a lead artist, following his feature on the current Top 5 hit with Eminem, 'Lucky You'. Directly inbetween the 2 BlocBoy JB & Drake climb 2 to a new peak of #23 with 'Look Alive'. Finally, chart regular G-Eazy brings Anthony Russo along for a #36 debut with 'Rewind'.
Thanks for reading everyone! :D

Hey Piran! 'God is a woman' should be able to break the record and get a 9th week next week, but 'Better' is definitely closing in fast and will probably reach the #1 spot on the week after. 'She Loves Control' isn't really at risk of falling out at the moment, and I think it'll most likely be the 3rd song to reach a full year on the chart. 'Bloodstream' was 1st and is far ahead of the rest, currently on its 71st week on the chart with no risk of falling out soon, and 'rockstar' will undoubtedly become the 2nd, currently on its 50th week, then 'She Loves Control' will probably be next. Marshmello, Dua Lipa and Post Malone are all regulars to the Top 10, so they'll all most likely be adding on to their impressive achievements next week!
Good chart Gameskiller! :)
I love that 'God Is A Woman' is #1 for a record-tying 8th week! It's also interesting to see 'She Loves Control' pass 'Havana' to be Camila's longest charting song in your Top 40.
I also really like that: 'Happier', 'Electricity' & 'Candy Paint' are all on course to reach the Top 10 next week!
Talk to you soon.
