The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Following last week’s tragic death, Liam Payne climbs from no.37 all the way to his first posthumous no.1 for his collaboration with Rita Ora on the track “For you”. Meanwhile “Teardrops” re-enters the chart all the way to a new peak of no.6. In total, he appears three times in this week’s top 40 and his album “LP1” enters the top 10 album chart at no.5.

Chappell Roan holds the no.2 and 3 positions with former number 1’s “Pink Pony Club” and “Good Luck, Babe!”. This week’s highest new entry comes from Gracie Abrams with “That’s so true” at no.5. This week also sees some long runners drop out of the top 40 including "please please please” by Sabrina Carpenter and the 26 week reign for “fortnight” by Taylor Swift sees her drop out of the top 40 and it is the first time in almost 6 months for there not to be a single Taylor Swift song in my top 40.

On the album chart, Chappell Roan holds onto the top spot for a 3^rd consecutive week. Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams climbs up to no.3 following two singles within this week’s top 10.
