The Biggest Songs Of The Week

Lola Young’s hold at the top of my chart continues as “Messy” achieves its6^th non consecutive week at no.1. The highest new entry this week comes from Tate McRae with “sports car” entering at no.2. Sam Fender has a high new entry at no.3 with “Arms Length” and Gabrielle Aplin gains her second top 10 hit of 2025 as “Home to me” enters at no.4

Multiple long runners on my chart slip out this week including 46 weeks for Ariana Grande’s “we can’t be friends”, 38 weeks and 27 weeks for Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe” and “Hot to go!” and Billie Eilish finally drops out of the top 40 with “birds of a feather” after 36 weeks on the chart. With the Grammy’s this weekend, it is possible that some of the long runners could return in the top 40 next week.

On the album chart, SZA holds off strong competition this week and maintains her position at the top for a massive 13 non consecutive weeks! There were multiple new entries in the top 10 including Teddy Swims at no.2, Central Cee at no.3 and Jojo at no.4. Taylor Swift’s reign on the top 10 album chart is over as “TTPD” finally drops out since entering the top 10 in March 2024!
