Joseph's Hit 40

This week sees a huge record being broken, for the amount of changeover in the top 10! Previously, the highest amount of new songs in a single week's top 10 was six, and this has happened on a few occasions in the past five and a half years. This week, we see EIGHT new songs in the top 10 - six new entries, one re-entry and one high climber.

The high climber comes from a trio of artists, all of whom have scored at least one hit in my chart before. Hands is a collaboration between Swedish DJ Mike Perry, British pop group The Vamps and American rising popstar Sabrina Carpenter. Mike Perry achieved a #5 hit last year with The Ocean, featuring Mike Perry. Sabrina's achieved two top 10s - #8 hit On Purpose last year, and #7 hit Thumbs only last week. Both artists achieve their best position to date with Hands. The Vamps however have had a string of #1s, ten in fact, having a 100% #1 hit rate for their singles. Hands takes their total to 11, meaning they've actually matched the record for most #1s, tying One Direction.

The highest of the six new entries in this week's top 10 comes from Katy Perry. Swish Swish is the third single from her fourth studio album Witness, arriving next month. It debuts at #2, instantly higher than previous single Bon Appétit managed (#7) but not quite scaling the heights of lead single Chained to the Rhythm (#1). It features Nicki Minaj, who has achieved two #1s, both with Ariana Grande (Bang Bang and Side to Side), but interestingly this marks her first #2 hit.

Just behind Swish Swish is a relative newcomer to the chart. Swedish popstar Anton Hagman released his debut single Kiss You Goodbye earlier this year, as he took part in Melodifestivalen. It spent two weeks at #2 in my chart, behind fellow Melodifestivalen entrants FO&O, and now settles for #3 with his follow-up single Somebody to Love.

Camila Cabello kicked off her solo career in style last Friday (19th), as she released the first single from her debut album, entitled Crying in the Club. The Sia-penned hit enters my chart at #4, instantly outpeaking her previous personal best of #5 alongside Shawn Mendes on I Know What You Did Last Summer (although she has three #1s as part of Fifth Harmony). She also finds herself at #9 with promotional single I Have Questions.

Her Revival era saw four top 10 hits out of four singles, and Selena Gomez looks set to continue her hit rate, as new single Bad Liar debuts at #5, giving her a ninth top 10 hit. Selena was last seen in my chart with Kygo on It Ain't Me, which peaked at #3, while her previous lead single Good For You debuted and peaked at #2. She's achieved one #1 to date, alongside Charlie Puth on We Don't Talk Anymore at the start of 2016.

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has the best track record of any rapper in my chart, notching up a huge seven #1 singles between 2013 and 2015. Recently she's been on less of a roll but still manages a top 10 debut with new single Switch, featuring Anitta. I'd actually say I prefer it to her previous single, #7 hit Mo Bounce, despite the lower week - goes to show how competitive this week has been!

Monday night saw a horrific incident take place in Manchester Arena, as a suicide bomber launched an attack in the foyer after Ariana Grande's concert finished. 22 people died and many more were injured. To remember the lives lost, a campaign began to get One Last Time back into the official chart. It succeeded, re-entering at a new peak of #11. I've been playing it a lot myself, and as a result, it re-enters at a new peak of #10 in my chart, having only made #13 before. I was due to see Ariana on Thursday (25th), but of course the concert was cancelled, totally understandably. Nevertheless, I've been listening to a lot of Ari this week, and as a result, the Dangerous Woman album re-enters my album chart at #4, and My Everything is back at #12 for the first time since its initial run.

Elsewhere, we see last week's #1 from Kristian Kostov drop five places to #6, matching the second largest drop from #1. Diana Vickers' Boy In Paris also dropped 1-6 in 2012, while the record sits with The Tide's Click My Fingers, falling six places to #7 last summer behind six new tracks. Bebe Rexha's The Way I Are (Dance With Somebody) is the only other track from last week's top 10 that remains this week, as we see big falls for most tracks in this week's chart.

Liam Payne is the final member of One Direction to release a solo single, and he fares the worst of all five, missing the top 10 entirely with Strip That Down as it debuts at #18. Harry and Louis both kicked off their careers with a #1 single, while Niall peaked at #5 and Zayn at #6. It's Quavo's second chart hit, after #11 hit I'm the One a few weeks back.

Norwegian pop duo Marcus & Martinus scored a #12 hit with Elektrisk last year, and now return with the Silentó-assisted Like It Like It, which enters at #15 this week. Silentó has fared rather well in my chart, achieving two top 10s (the highest being #5 with The Vamps on Volcano) and a further two top 20s, despite his own single Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) being absolutely terrible :')
