This track is, fairly obviously, a riff on &#8220;Without Me&#8221;, even though the hook is from the Steve Miller Band&#8217;s &#8220;Abracadabra&#8221; (number 2 in 1982). &#8220;Without Me&#8221; itself re-enters at 38, which is an unusual case of a spillover hit. His greatest hits album is back in the top 10 as well.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the whole album is throwback stuff or whether this is set-up for something else&#8230; who knows. It&#8217;s Eminem&#8217;s 11th UK number 1, spanning a period of 25 years. For those wondering, the other 10 are: &#8220;The Real Slim Shady&#8221; (2000), &#8220;Stan&#8221; (2000), &#8220;Without Me&#8221; (2002), &#8220;Lose Yourself&#8221; (2002), &#8220;Just Lose It&#8221; (2004), &#8220;Like Toy Soldiers&#8221; (2005), a guest appearance on Akon&#8217;s &#8220;Smack That&#8221; (2006), &#8220;The Monster&#8221; (2013), &#8220;River&#8221; (2017) and &#8220;Godzilla&#8221; (2020). Basically, Eminem&#8217;s imperial phase is long behind him but, unusually for someone at this point in his career, he can still pull out a number 1 single or at least a big hit from each new album. In fact, the streams on this are huge &#8211; equivalent to over 100,000 sales, which is the biggest we&#8217;ve had in a year.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>35.

I quite like it, actually. Fred again.. has generally had quite an inconsistent chart record, but he&#8217;s been trending towards higher places in 2023, so we&#8217;ll see if this climbs. Technically this is the first credited hit single for Anderson .Paak as a solo artist, but he had two hits in 2021 as a member of Silk Sonic.<\/p>\n<p>Chika is a rapper, and this is her first appearance on the UK singles chart. As you might guess from the video, her credit is for the sampling of her voice, which is from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whosampled.com\/sample\/1185252\/Fred-Again..-Anderson-.Paak-CHIKA-Places-to-Be-CHIKA-Intimacy.\/\">a spoken word track called &#8220;Intimacy&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230; oh, that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Band4Band&#8221; by Central Cee featuring Lil Baby<\/strong> climbs 4-3.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Stargazing&#8221; by Myles Smith<\/strong> climbs 9-8.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Good Luck Babe&#8221; by Chappell Roan<\/strong> climbs 20-16.

It&#8217;s their third straight record to make the album top 10 &#8211; the last one reached number 2 &#8211; but they&#8217;ve yet to have a hit single. Mind you, these records are effectively EPs; this one is just over 17 minutes long. The album chart defines an album as (1) anything over 25 minutes in length or (2) anything at all with more than four songs (not counting alternate versions of the same song). Whether limb (2) of that definition accords with most people&#8217;s understanding of an &#8220;album&#8221; might perhaps be questioned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
