The margin is less than 5% but I&#8217;ll take it. &#8220;Manchild&#8221; is a perfectly good Sabrina Carpenter single in the vein established by the previous album (and it helps if you stick with it to the middle eight, which acknowledges that if she&#8217;s running into this many incompetents, the issue might actually be with her taste in men).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s her fourth number one, following last year&#8217;s triumvirate of &#8220;Espresso&#8221;, &#8220;Please Please Please&#8221; and &#8220;Taste&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>9.

The uncredited guest singer is Arjit Singh, a playback singer who&#8217;s a big name in India.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re three singles into the promotion for this album and we&#8217;ve yet to have a number one, but they\u00a0<em>are<\/em> showing staying power. &#8220;Azizam&#8221; has been out for ten weeks and is still hanging in at number 10. &#8220;Old Phone&#8221; did less well, entering at 17 and falling from there, but it&#8217;s still in the top 40 after six weeks. Basically, post-peak Ed Sheeran chart performance is still way above average.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17. MK featuring Chrystal &#8211; &#8220;Dior&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qXnqZo03PHY?si=e2lNf0N1c9bhjB_G\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We last had MK on the chart in 2023 when &#8220;Asking&#8221; reached number 7. This one features Chrystal, getting a follow-up to her debut hit &#8220;The Days&#8221;. That track reached number 4 and has yet to leave the top 40 after a 28 week run. This is&#8230; bad? Or weirdly static, depressing and unresolved? I don&#8217;t like it at all.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s it for new entries this week. For climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Back to Friends&#8221; by Sombr<\/strong> climbs 9-7 in its 11th week. &#8220;Undressed&#8221; is a non-mover at 4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Nice to Each Other&#8221; by Olivia Dean<\/strong> climbs 28-18. That overtakes her 2021 version of &#8220;The Christmas Song&#8221; to become her biggest hit single.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Fame is a Gun&#8221; by Addison<\/strong> <strong>Rae <\/strong>climbs 27-23. Her previous hit &#8220;Headphones On&#8221; entered at roughly the same level and dropped from there, so this is looking more promising. Mind you, the album was out this week, which must have helped.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Glen&#8221; by Levi Heron<\/strong> climbs 37-26, because who doesn&#8217;t love inexplicable folk remixes?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a handful of re-entries at the bottom end of the top 40 from tracks which are just hovering either side of 40: &#8220;That&#8217;s so True&#8221; by Gracie Abrams at 37, &#8220;Good Luck Babe&#8221; by Chappell Roan at 39, and &#8220;Lose Control&#8221; by Teddy Swims at number 40. That track, by the way, has now spent a total of 65 weeks in the top 40 despite the best efforts of the downweighting rule.<\/p>\n<p>This means there are six tracks leaving the top 40:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Sports Car&#8221; by Tate McRae<\/strong>, which peaked at number 3, had 13 weeks in the top 10, and lasted 19 weeks in the top 40. Last week&#8217;s new entry &#8220;Just Keep Watching&#8221; falls from 6 to 11; &#8220;Revolving Door&#8221; is at 25 after 16 weeks on chart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Bad Dreams&#8221; by Teddy Swims\u00a0<\/strong>peaked at number 6 and had 36 weeks in the top 40, with a brief interruption over Christmas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;What Was That&#8221; by Lorde<\/strong> peaked at 11 and lasted 6 weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Clich\u00e9&#8221; by MGK<\/strong> entered at 31 and lasted two weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Nokia&#8221; by Drake<\/strong> peaked at 10 but lasted a surprising 16 weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Sorry I&#8217;m Here for Someone Else&#8221; by Benson Boone<\/strong> peaked at 20 but still lasted 14 weeks. He still has &#8220;Beautiful Things&#8221; at number 12 &#8211; in its 68th week in the top 40 &#8211; and &#8220;Mystical Magical&#8221; at 16.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.

The video for &#8220;Spike Island&#8221; is a rare example of a good AI-generated video, because the whole concept is to play off the fear that a Pulp reunion will be a clumsy rehash of past glories. Good song, too.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s their third number 1 album, following &#8220;Different Class&#8221; in 1995 and &#8220;This is Hardcore&#8221; in 1998.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

Her chart record is weird: she didn&#8217;t make the top 40 until album 4, &#8220;Something I Might be Introvert&#8221;, won the Mercury Prize and reached number 4. And the follow-up got to&#8230; number 40. Despite the reference in the lyrics to her being &#8220;twenty-something&#8221;, she&#8217;s actually 31.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.
