Right, for real this time.<\/p>\n
1. Sabrina Carpenter – “Manchild”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n At long last, the chart rules deem Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” to be far enough past its peak to boot it down the charts. The downweighting rule – “accelerated chart ratio”, if you prefer the official name – is a singularly blunt instrument, and “Ordinary” lands at this week’s number 9. It would otherwise still be number 1 by a healthy margin.<\/p>\n More by default than anything else, “Manchild” returns to number 1 for a second week, but it’s less than 10% ahead of the number 2 single and falling, so it may not be there long. That number 2 single is “Dior” by MK featuring Chrystal<\/a>, which… nope, still hate it. It’s MK’s biggest hit, though – his previous peak was 7. We used to have to asterisk that with the fact that his\u00a0real<\/em> biggest hit was his remix of “Push the Feeling On” by the Nightcrawlers<\/a> in 1994, but that peaked at 3.<\/p>\n 4.
