It <em>has<\/em> been hanging around the lower reaches for an extended period since then, but given that it only managed a week in the top 10 first time round, this is odd behaviour. It <em>did<\/em> qualify for a reset on the strength of last week&#8217;s increase in streams (following the Christmas clear-out), and that accounts for part of the jump, but it&#8217;s still curious. The midweeks have falling straight back to number 27, so there&#8217;s some sort of weird surge going on here, organic or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21.

Another couple of tracks from the album are hanging around outside the top 40.<\/p>\n<p>Number 22 is a re-entry for <strong>&#8220;Pink Pony Club&#8221; by Chappell Roan<\/strong>, which has also been given a reset from downweighting, and is currently being pushed as the lead single from the album.

It was a number 1 for a single week in 2013 &#8211; to be fair, it then spent the next three weeks at number 2 behind &#8220;Blurred Lines&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.

She&#8217;s from Florida and apparently she had a viral hit on Tiktok a few years back which didn&#8217;t really translate into any meaningful commercial success in the UK. This is pretty good, though, and less of a novelty track than it first appears. The video is great, but might not be the best intro point for new listeners &#8211; it had me expecting something along the lines of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NS0RxcYEFyo\">&#8220;Bad Babysitter&#8221;<\/a>, and the song is written on the assumption that you already know who Doechii is. Her Colbert performance is definitely worth a look. The staging is quite something.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ggg45-e4oj0?si=oLzWpW_5UsU63Uly\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Push 2 Start&#8221; by Tyla<\/strong> climbs 33-24 to become her second top 30 hit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Like Him&#8221; by Tyler, The Creator<\/strong> climbs 35-30.

There are two new entries and three re-entries, and the five records leaving the top 40 are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Close to You&#8221; by Gracie Abrams<\/strong>, which re-entered last week at 37.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Hot to Go&#8221; by Chappell Roan<\/strong>, which re-entered last week at 32.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Nights Like This&#8221; by The Kid Laroi<\/strong>, which re-entered last week at 40.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Austin&#8221; by Dasha<\/strong>, which re-entered last week at 39.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;It Can&#8217;t Be Christmas&#8221; by Tom Grennan<\/strong>, which re-entered&#8230; oh, hold on, no.

There&#8217;s the 1989 album &#8220;Sleeping with the Past&#8221;, which is the one that had &#8220;Sacrifice&#8221; on it.
