The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Dermot Kennedy gains his 4^th number 1 on my chart, with his current single “Kiss me” finally climbing to no.1 and leapfrogging Taylor Swift in the process. However, he was denied a double no.1 where his album slipped to no.2 allowing Taylor Swift’s midnights to climb back up to no.1.

Several Xmas singles have entered the top 40 with The Pogues – “Fairytale of New York” leading the pack. Could it get a 3^rd consecutive Xmas no.1 in a row?..only time will tell. Meanwhile Celine Dion and Mariah both enter the Top 40 with their versions of “O Holy Night”. Celine Dion takes the early lead breaking into the top 30.

Longest chart runners:

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (27 consecutive weeks)
Sam Fender – Getting Started (21 non consecutive weeks)
First Aid Kit – Out of my head (17 consecutive weeks)

Next week, look out for new single releases including a huge return for Lana Del Rey and singles from Sam Fender, SZA, Sabrina Carpenter & Dove Cameron.

There is also a new album release from SZA and a re-release/deluxe album for Sam Fender whose album has remained in my top 10 album chart for over a year.
