The Weeknd grabs a double no.1 this week where his album “Dawn FM” knocks Sam Fender off the no.1 spot. He has a total of 8 songs from his new album entering the top 40 singles chart, four of which enter the top 10. Despite official video releases for “ Sacrifice” and “Gasoline”, it is the album track “Less than zero” which takes the all important no.1 spot.
Next week, FKA Twigs releases a mix tape and may potentially also break the top 40 singles chart. The Lumineers also return with a new album. On the singles front, it is a quiet week but there could be potential new entries from Avril Lavigne, Chris Brown, Broods & The Chainsmokers.

Hey Sergej, stil getting used to this new chart and the notification absence. Yeah, "Less than zero" is very catchy but there are a quite a few songs on his album that I am playing non stop. Yeah it should get a release hopefully! "Oh My God" climbed up due to the video and could be a contender for the top spot soon as it grows momentum. I know that you like Ellan Henderson and Foxes so I assume they charted for you too. I'm a bit late into checking out "Where are you now", but its so catchy! Thanks for the comment.
Hey! Long time no see!
In the album chart, I loved the entry for Dawn FM straight to #1, the re-entry for Ancient Dreams In a Modern Land in the Top 5 follows the release of its deluxe edition, and also 30 and Keys are still there.
As for the tracks, I loved the entries for "Less Than Zero", "How Do I Make You Love Me?", "Brave", "Sacrifice", "I Heard You're Married" and the rises of "Oh My God" and "When I'm Gone".
I am currently trying to make a comeback (more details in the short annual chart), so I highly recommend checking out my new chart!
Nice to see The Weekend bomb i honestly enjoyed the album too i see MJ influence im going to be having it on rotation for a while .Didn't know Ella Henderson Released a new song i used to listen back then Ghost song.Suprisingly Sam fender survived the bomb from the Weekend .love the small gain of I Hate u, could grow bigger on you in the future .l also love that Lost Frequency debut i honestly just added it to my playlist even though r&b has taken over my playlist .i didn't expect that Alesso single its a suprise from Katy Perry but good track
Hey, yes no surprises for The Weeknd album bomb. Glad you are liking the album too. Yeah, he has always had an MJ influence. I prefer "After Hours" compared to this album but I think it is growing on me. "Brave" by Ella Henderson is very catchy, I think you will like it. Sam Fender wil be sticking around for a while! Yeah, that sog by Sza has been playing in my head so it managed to climb despite all the new single releases. The Lost frequency collab is very catchy. I only heard it recently despite it being released many months ago. Yeah The Alesso/ Katy Perry track is catchy and a slow grower.
Hi there Zack!
Very happy to see The Weeknd dominating your chart, especially with "Less Than Zero" at #1, definitely my favourite from his non-single songs! Hopefully this becomes a single someday!
Also like the big gain for "Oh My God" and the debuts (outside of the Weekend) for "Brave", "Absolute" and "Where Are You Now".
Great chart.
