Sabrina Carpenter &#8211; &#8220;Espresso&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s seven weeks in total, two weeks in the current run. &#8220;Espresso&#8221; has been either 1 or 2 since the start of May. &#8220;Please Please Me&#8221; is still at 2, which means Sabrina Carpenter has occupied both number 1 and number 2 for five weeks in a row. Both tracks are past their peak but&#8230; there&#8217;s just nothing coming along to challenge them. We&#8217;re really overdue for a shake-up. &#8220;Espresso&#8221; isn&#8217;t likely to make it to week eight, though, because barring a miracle it&#8217;s due to be hit by the downweighting rule next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.

The lead single, <strong>&#8220;Houdini&#8221;<\/strong> rebounds 7-4. Most of the album would have made the top 75 if it hasn&#8217;t been for the three song rule.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s his eleventh number 1 album &#8211; all of his albums have been number 1s except for his 1999 debut &#8220;The Slim Shady LP&#8221; (which was a number 10), and a 2022 compilation that still reached number 3. It&#8217;s also a very comfortable number 1 album, with a huge margin over Taylor Swift at number 2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.

There&#8217;s a whole online drama thing here about Central Cee supposedly dumping his girlfriend for Ice Spice, all of which sounds suspiciously kayfabe, but it&#8217;s getting some interest. Ice Spice could certainly use the help &#8211; her last two solo singles both missed the top 70.<\/p>\n<p><strong>36.

This reached number 28 on released in 1984, and number 4 on a re-release the following year, but it hasn&#8217;t been back since. And yes, it&#8217;s the one with Courtney Cox in the video.<\/p>\n<p>England didn&#8217;t win the Euros, sparing us another number 1 for &#8220;3 Lions&#8221;, but that track does climb from 20 to 8. There&#8217;s nothing else football related in the top 40, though &#8220;Sweet Caroline&#8221; and &#8220;Vindaloo&#8221; are both stranded just outside. &#8220;Dancing in the Dark&#8221; has the obvious advantage over both of those tracks that once you&#8217;re reminded that it exists, you might actually listen to it on its merits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.

The various YouTube listings credit it either to Adam Port or to him and Stryv (including the one on Keinemusik&#8217;s channel)&#8230; but let&#8217;s go with the official listing. They sound like the line-up of a villain team from <em>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the first chart credit for all of these people. Adam Port is a German DJ. Stryv is a producer from Los Angeles, with previous credits working with Kanye West and Jason Derulo. Keinemusik is an odd one: it seems to be both a record label and a collective credit for &#8220;four DJs and one graphic designer and painter&#8221;, and one of those DJs <em>is<\/em> Adam Port. Malachiii (sic) is a Californian singer.

It&#8217;s taken a very long time to follow it up, and while she got a hit single back in 2021 with &#8220;Black Hole&#8221;, nothing from this album made the top 75.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.
