Top albums of the week:
1) Post Malone - 'beerbongs & bentleys' (=)
2) Drake - 'Scorpion' (=)
3) Jorja Smith - 'Lost & Found' (=)
4) Bebe Rexha - 'Expectations' (=)
5) Ariana Grande - 'Sweetener' (Debut)
As Ariana Grande dominates the entire Top 3, 'God is a woman' spends a 4th consecutive week at #1, tying the all-time consecutive record. Camila Cabello's 'She Loves Control' and 'Havana', and Marshmello & Anne-Marie's 'FRIENDS' have all spent 4 consecutive weeks at #1 before, while the only song to spend longer at #1 in total is 'Havana' which got an extra 4 non-consecutive weeks at #1 after it's inital 4 consecutive week run at #1, giving it 8 non-consecutive weeks at #1 in total. At #2 Ariana debuts with 'breathin', and at #3 she debuts with 'everytime', making her just the 3rd artist to ever hold the entire Top 3 simultaneously, after Camila held the entire Top 10 and The Weeknd held the Top 6 following the releases of their most recent albums. Which just makes it even more of a shame that these 3 songs, and 'no tears left to cry' (which re-enters at #26 this week), are the only 4 songs that I actually like from 'Sweetener'. I was really looking forward to the album, but it ended up being disappointing overall for me.
There's yet another debut in the Top 10 as Dean Lewis gets his 1st ever entry on my charts with 'Be Alright', which debuts at #10. With 3 debuts in the Top 10 in the same week, this is the first time that this has happened since Anne-Marie's 'Speak Your Mind' and Post Malone's 'beerbongs & bentleys' combined to give 4 Top 10 debuts on 4th May, 2018. Outside of the Top 10, Post Malone's 'Candy Paint' gains for the 3rd week in a row, up 3 to #14 this week. At #19, Juice WRLD has his 1st ever entry as 'Lucid Dreams' debuts. This a song that I first heard quite a while ago and didn't really like, but it's really grown on my over this past week! Ariana's former 2-week #1 with Cashmere Cat, 'Quit', makes a re-entry at #24, just ahead of the re-entry for 'no tears left to cry' at #26.
Long-running chart hit 'Pray For Me' by The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar manages to climb on its 29th week on the chart, desptie all of the new and re-entries, up 1 to #29, while Calvin Harris & Sam Smith have a new entry at #31 with 'Promises'. There are another 2 new entries near the bottom of the chart, the 1st of which is Marshmello's 5th entry on my chart as he teams up with Bastille; 'Happier' is new at #38. The final new entry is another song that I first heard quite a while ago, Panic! At The Disco's 'High Hopes', and it finally manages to climb into the Top 40 at #39 this week. Of course, Post Malone's 'beerbongs & bentleys' remains at the top of the album charts for the 16th non-consecutive week, while he manages to chart 10 or more songs simultaneously for the 17th consecutive week, with 11 this week.
Thanks for reading everyone! :D

Hey Piran! I'm glad to hear you like the chart so much! 'God is a woman' is currently looking extremely likely to take the all-time consecutive record next week, and at the rate it's going it could even come close to the all-time non-consecutive record of 8 weeks as well! 'breathin' and 'everytime' should be sticking around in the Top 10 for a good while yet, especially the former, and 'Be Alright' is definitely going to be around for a while as well. The only songs that even stand a chance against 'God is a woman' at the moment are 'breathin' and 'Be Alright', so I'm pretty sure that it'll be one of them or a new song that knocks it off the top.
If 'Candy Paint' does reach the Top 10 next week it'll become Post Malone's 9th Top 10, and the 8th to first reach the region within the past 4 months! That'll put him in a tie with Camila, who's also had 8 new Top 10s this year so far! With 9 it'll also put him 3rd for all-time, behind Ed's 15 and Camila's 19.
Thanks for the comment! :D
Hey Gameskiller! I hope you've had a nice week. :)
This is honestly one of my favourite charts you've posted... where do I begin?!
Firstly, I love that 'God Is A Woman' has now spend a month at #1 & that 'Breathin' & 'Everytime' complete the Top 3.
I'm also very pleased that 'Be Alright' got a Top 10 debut & is set for a big climb next week!
Both of your re-entries & all of your debuts are awesome too.
As for next week, it's cool to see 'Candy Paint' possibly entering the Top 10, but not such a fan of 'Lucid Dreams' unfortunately!
I just put a new chart up a few minutes ago, so I hope you can check that out.
Speak to you soon!
