Gracie Abrams &#8211; &#8220;That&#8217;s So True&#8221;<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>But first: eight non-consecutive weeks for this. It&#8217;s clinging on by its fingertips, with a lead of less than 2% over Ros\u00e9 and Bruno Mars at 2. The top 4 is all non-movers and to be honest there&#8217;s very little movement in the top 10 period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>25.

This had a four week run in the chart, peaking at number 32. It&#8217;s been hanging around in the lower reaches for ages but has had enough of a surge to get a reset on its downweighting, which helps it back into the top 40.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>26. Hozier &#8211; &#8220;Do I Wanna Know&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fuWq4RZnc6U?si=PGMmB1WEYtUJIwtL\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This, on the other hand, is completely out of left field. It&#8217;s a 2016 performance for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, which was included in the deluxe edition of Hozier&#8217;s debut album. It&#8217;s an acoustic (and major key) cover of the Arctic Monkeys single that reached number 11 in 2013. It&#8217;s certainly a radically different take on the song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>34. Braelyn Rankins, Theo Somolu, Aaron Pierre &amp; Kelvin Harrison Jr &#8211; &#8220;I Always Wanted a Brother&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LnqikN644lM?si=P2wWxDd-os443gv8\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This, to be fair, is not from TikTok. It&#8217;s from the soundftrack of <em>Mufasa: The Lion King<\/em>, which means it&#8217;s a Lin-Manuel Miranda song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. Imogen Heap &#8211; &#8220;Headlock&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/roPiy2JydwA?si=jPpVir2MQjjKwNYm\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Right, back to the viral back catalogue. This is a 2006 single that got to number 74 on release, but it started picking up play after being used in the game <em>Mouthwashing <\/em>last year. In a career dating back to 1998, this is the first time Imogen Heap has made the top 40 singles chart. A couple of her albums did scrape the bottom end of the album top 40, and I mean scrape: &#8220;Ellipse&#8221; got to 39 in 2009, and &#8220;Sparks&#8221; was a number 40 in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39. Sam Barber featuring Avery Anna &#8211; &#8220;Indigo&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/51A9zfyzXcU?si=ddbQEHR-Kfxd2H5N\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Hey, an actual current release &#8211; though I gather it&#8217;s also pretty big on TikTok. This is the sort of country-folk that we used to class as Americana, I think. It&#8217;s the first UK hit for both of them; Barber had a hit in the US a couple of years back with &#8220;Straight and Narrow&#8221;, but he&#8217;s had no previous impact over here.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Nice to Meet You&#8221; by Myles Smith<\/strong> climbs 13-6 to become his second top 10 hit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Push 2 Start&#8221; by Tyla<\/strong> climbs 24-23.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Denial is a River&#8221; by Doechii<\/strong> climbs 39-31.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are four new entries and one re-entry. The tracks dropping out are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;A Bar Song (Tipsy)&#8221; by Shaboozey<\/strong>, with two post-Christmas weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;TV Off&#8221; by Kendrick Lamar &amp; Lefty Gunplay<\/strong>, also with two post-Christmas weeks. It reached number 6 as an album track in early December.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;I Love You I&#8217;m Sorry&#8221; by Gracie Abrams<\/strong>, again with the two post-Christmas weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Diet Pepsi&#8221; by Addison Rae<\/strong>, ditto.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Thick of It&#8221; by KSI featuring Trippie Redd<\/strong>, also ditto.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Chappell Roan &#8211; &#8220;The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A second week at number 1, the first having come back in August. It&#8217;s back at the top because of the release of a &#8220;crushed splatter vinyl&#8221; version which accounts for over 20% of its sales, so it&#8217;s a blip. These things are relative, though &#8211; &#8220;Rise and Fall&#8221; has been in the top 10 for 31 straight weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Franz Ferdinand &#8211; &#8220;The Human Fear&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/21JuGhzLcz0?si=k4Qvv9u5eJczm5XZ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Franz Ferdinand were ahead in the midweeks but wind up at number 3. They shouldn&#8217;t be too disappointed with this &#8211; their last three albums reached 6 and 7, and this is their best position since 2009.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. Bad Bunny &#8211; &#8220;Debi Tirar Mas Fotos&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EVgd4gvY0hU?si=ob-QSmgJakXvzp-3\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>His sixth album, the third to chart in this country, and the highest placing. That&#8217;s something of an achievement, because Spanish language pop doesn&#8217;t generally do well in the UK, and this is very much not a record aimed at the UK market. I mean, just listen to the track above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.
