Sabrina Carpenter &#8211; &#8220;Taste&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, the activity is not right at the top, with &#8220;Taste&#8221; spending a fourth week at number one. Chappell Roan&#8217;s &#8220;Good Luck Babe&#8221; returns to number 2 to break the Sabrina Carpenter logjam, but she still has &#8220;Espresso&#8221; at 3 and &#8220;Please Please Please&#8221; at 4. She&#8217;s now been number 1 for 16 of the last 21 weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.

He&#8217;s had bigger hits than this before, but his first week places aren&#8217;t that important &#8211; the Weeknd tends to have his that stick around forever. The track is firmly in the 80s revivalist mode we&#8217;ve come to expect from him, but he does do it very well. And there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YnRpNJlLcRE\">an alternative acoustic version available<\/a>, if you want to hear the song in a less 80s mode.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>14.

It&#8217;s a lower starting position than the big hits from the previous album, &#8220;Greedy&#8221; and &#8220;Exes&#8221;, but not by too much. It&#8217;s not as instant as those singles but it&#8217;s growing on me a bit. The video is, um, trying a bit hard with the sexy. I guess maybe we&#8217;re at a point where there&#8217;s a gap in the market for Not At All Subtle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21. Chappell Roan &#8211; &#8220;Pink Pony Club&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GR3Liudev18?si=ZWMlWOWCzJgIdMZN\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another single from &#8220;Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess&#8221;. As already mentioned, &#8220;Good Luck Babe&#8221; is at 2; &#8220;Hot to Go&#8221; also returns to its earlier peak of number 9. &#8220;Pink Pony Club&#8221; was originally released as far back as 2020 when she was signed to Atlantic. They dropped her a few months after the single was released, which is why it didn&#8217;t surface on an album until 2023.<\/p>\n<p>This maxes out her quota of three hit singles, and the track it replaces is &#8220;Red Wine Supernova&#8221;, which was at number 34 last week. By implication, then, this track must have climbed 13 places from its disqualified position last week. I&#8217;m not quite sure why it&#8217;s surged, but she was playing live in the UK this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24. Charli XCX featuring Troye Sivan &#8211; &#8220;Talk Talk&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K5jyIoPbu4M?si=LJcuIK-3XaVRWQEb\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another track from &#8220;Brat&#8221; given a remix and a guest appearance for the single version. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pIs46LzZUws\">This is the original.<\/a> I&#8217;m not at all convinced by the remix, which feels like it doesn&#8217;t have a chorus. She and Troye Sivan have had a hit together before &#8211; &#8220;1999&#8221; reached number 13 in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>28.

This isn&#8217;t from the same album, but it&#8217;s still fairly similar to the other two.<\/p>\n<p>You may be wondering how many artists actually multiple hits on the top 40 this week. The answer is &#8220;quite a lot&#8221;. Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Teddy Swims and Oasis all have 3 (one of which, admittedly, is shared by Charli XCX and Billie Eilish). Benson Boone and Coldplay both have 2. So that&#8217;s eight artists collectively occupying more than half of the chart. This might have something to do with its recent sluggish pace. It might also raise a question about whether the singles chart is starting to blur with album listening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>32.
