My Favourite Songs, Albums and Artists of All Time: https://crownnote.com/charts/gameskiller01/my-favourite-songs-of-all-time

Top albums of the week:

1) Game of Thrones - 'For The Throne' (=)
2) Dave - 'PSYCHODRAMA' (=)
3) Ariana Grande - 'thank u, next' (=)
4) Post Malone - 'beerbongs & bentleys' (+1)
5) ScHoolboy Q - 'CrasH Talk' (-1)

After 8 consecutive weeks at #1, nearly a record, 'Lesley' finally gets dethroned, but it took an absolute juggernaut of a song to do it. Two extremely sucessful chart veterans, Logic & Eminem, team up for 'Homicide', which debuts straight in at #1, Logic's 2nd and Eminem's 3rd #1. It's also Logic's 9th Top 10 hit and Eminem's 22nd, extending his lead as the artist with the most Top 10s. Last week's #1 drops all the way to #5, as #2, #3 and #4 all remain stationary. At #6 Logic has a 2nd song in the Top 10 as 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind' drops 1, while 'Old Town Road (Remix)' is stable at #7 and 'SOS' drops 2 to #8. 'God is a woman' spends a 42nd consecutive week in the Top 10 as it's stable at #9, while at #10 is the only other new entry to the Top 10. MEDUZA's 'Piece Of Your Heart' climbs 6 places to reach the region, the 1st entry to the region for both artist involved.

Just below the Top 10 'All Day and Night' also climbs 6 places, hitting #11, while Zara Larsson's 'Don't Worry Bout Me' rebounds 1 place to #12. Stormzy's 'Vossi Bop' makes a big climb of 9 places to #13, now Stormzy's 3rd highest chart placement, and Not3s sees the biggest climb of the week with a huge 17 place climb to #16. Hardy Caprio & DigDat's 'Guten Tag' is the 2nd highest debut, making an entrance at #18, already beating the #21 peak of 'Unsigned', Hardy's only other chart entry. Shawn Mendes gets his 31st chart entry as 'If I Can't Have You' debuts at #22, Bastille make a small climb of 1 place with 'Doom Days' to #23, and Joyner Lucas debuts at #26 with 'Devil's Work'. The Chainsmokers climb 2 places with 'Do You Mean', up to #32, and Lewis Capaldi gets his 3rd chart entry as 'Hold Me While You Wait' debuts at #33. Lastly, Bugzy Malone gets his 2nd chart entry as 'M.E.N II' debuts at #37.

Also, Ed Sheeran's 'Bloodstream' reaches its 104th consecutive week on the chart. Yes, 104 weeks. 2 whole years. If I'd been doing charts when the track came out in 2014 it could quite possibly have reached 200+ weeks on the chart by now. In that time it's spent 2 non-consecutive weeks at #1, spaced exactly 52 weeks apart, and 32 non-consecutive weeks in the Top 10, 28 of which were consecutive.

Thanks for reading everyone! :D
