The Biggest Songs Of The Week

It’s a double no.1 this week for Ariana Grande as “Twilight zone” enters straight in at no.1 and her deluxe version of the album eternal sunshine re-enters the album chart climbing back up to no.1. She has 5 singles within the top 10 alone. Meanwhile the biggest single of 2024 “We can’t be friends” re-enters the top 20 for its mammoth 47^th non consecutive week in the top 40.

Doechii’s viral hit “Anxiety” slips to no.4 following last week’s no.1 spot.

It has been 25 years since I can recall listening to music in my childhood and therefore as a 25^th anniversary this year, songs which reach 25 years old may enter my weekly top 40. On this week, 25 years ago, Destiny’s Child gained their first worldwide smash with “Say my name”. This week it enters the chart at no.38.
