Top albums of the week:
2) Various Artists - 'Black Panther: The Album' (Debut)
3) Camila Cabello - 'Camila' (-2)
4) Ed Sheeran - 'x' (-2)
5) Eminem - 'Revival' (-2)
This week The Weeknd gets his 2nd #1 on my chart as 'Pray For Me' rockets 10-1 following the release of 'Black Panther: The Album', which sees 9 songs from it reach the chart. The song denies 'She Loves Control' a 5th consecutive week at #1 as the latter tumbles 1-4, being overtaken by 'Fine Line' and 'Then', both of which are stationary at #2 and #3, respectively. Frustratingly, this is 'Fine Line's 3rd consecutive week stuck at #2, being a very strong performing song for me but never quite managing to get to #1 (yet).
The highest new entry of the week comes from Marshmello and Anne-Marie with their new collaboration 'FRIENDS', which is a new debut at #5 this week. With this Anne-Marie becomes the first artist to have 2 songs in my Top 5 simultaneously since Camila Cabello held the entire Top 10 following the release of her debut album. Post Malone's 'rockstar' finally beats its initial peak of #7 almost 3 months after it first reached those heights, up 8-6 this week. Camila Cabello's 'Real Friends' is stationary at #7.
It is a very good week for MIST following the release of his album 'Diamond In The Dirt' as he manages to chart 7 songs in the Top 20, including 3 in the Top 10 at #8, #9 and #10, which become MIST's 2nd, 3rd and 4th Top 10 hits on my chart. Steel Banglez gets his 3rd and 4th Top 10 hits as a producer, Not3s gets his 4th Top 10 hit and Mr Eazi gets his 3rd, while Haile WSTRN and Fekky both get their 1st entries on my chart. 'Diamond In The Dirt' also becomes my #1 album this week, fighting off tough competition from 'Black Panther: The Album'.
Further down 'The Middle' is my highest climber of the week, up 14 places from #36 to #22, while 'Fifty Shades Freed (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)' sees 2 entries on the chart with 'High' by Whethan & Dua Lipa at #34 and 'Cross Your Mind' by Sabrina Claudio at #37. Calvin Harris has the final new entry this week with 'Nuh Ready Nuh Ready' at #39.
Thanks for reading everyone! :D

Good chart Gameskiller! I'm really surprised how busy this week was, as two albums seemed to have impacted your chart massively this week. :)
Outside of that, I love seeing 'Pray For Me' soar to #1 & 'Friends' get a Top 5 debut!
'The Middle' being your biggest climber of the week is amazing to see & I also like the re-entry for 'Mercy'.
My next chart will be up a bit later today, so I'll put a message in the group chat when it's ready!
I hope you enjoy the remainder of the weekend.
Hey Piran! Yeah, 'Diamond In The Dirt' and 'Black Panther: The Album' are definitely my 2nd and 3rd favourite albums so far this year (behind 'Camila', of course). They're both really great albums!
Great to see that you like 'Pray For Me' and 'FRIENDS' as well, and 'The Middle' should see another big climb next week and could reach my Top 10 before too long, which I'm sure you'll be glad to hear! :D
I'll go check out your chart now!
Hey Gameskiller! I love seeing Pray For Me at #1, and the debut for Friends in the top 10! it's also great to see the debut for All The Stars and the climb for The Middle, and its cool to see all the debuts from Diamond In The Dirt and Black Panther, although I have heard neither yet. I'm a bit useless at listening to new albums lol, I haven't even heard JT's yet or the second half of Craig David's even though ive been saying I will for weeks! I just never really find a couple of hours completely free with nothing to think about; the only time I usually listen to music is at night when I'm probably too tired to fully concentrate on a new album.
it's interesting you prefer a lot of Mist's album tracks to his lead single, so i'd like to hear those songs you prefer to it, especially as i'm liking the look of some of the featured artists!
another great chart overall, and speak to you soon! :D
Hey Calum! The past few weeks have been very tough battles at #1 as 'She Loves Control', 'Fine Line', 'Then' and now 'Pray For Me' have all been challenging each other for the top spot, and I can tell that next week is going to be the same. 'Fine Line' and 'Pray For Me' especially are going to be very close.
I'm usually awful at listening to albums as well, but surprisingly I managed to listen to 3 albums in full in the past week (sort of). I've been pretty excited for the 'Black Panther' soundtrack for a while so I made sure to listen to that, and 'Diamond In The Dirt' is a very short album with only 9 songs totalling 24 minutes, so it wasn't very difficult for me to find time to listen to that. I also listened to the 'Fifty Shades Freed' soundtrack, but I did cheat a bit as I only listened to a little bit of most of the songs since I wasn't a fan of all but 'For You', 'High', 'Cross Your Mind' and 'Capital Letters'. :D I still haven't heard Justin's or Craig's albums, though I've been meaning to for a little while now.
Hey Gameskiller!
Great to see "Pray For Me" at #1, might be my #1 for next week!
Nice to see "The Middle" gaining big!
As for your debuts:
"Friends" (Great)
"Wish Me Well" (Good, because of Jessie Ware)
"All The Stars" (Great)
"X" (Good)
"Paramedic!" (Good)
"Opps" (Good)
"King's Dead" (Good)
"Redemption" (Good)
"High" (Good)
"The Ways" (Good)
"I Am" (Great)
"Nuh Ready Nuh Ready" (Great)
Great chart overall!
