Only one record has ever spent more weeks at number 1 &#8211; Frankie Laine&#8217;s &#8220;I Believe&#8221; in 1953 &#8211; and &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221; only has to manage another fortnight to match it.<\/p>\n<p>That said, &#8220;Rein Me In&#8221;\u00a0<em>could<\/em> finally go to downweighting next week &#8211; it&#8217;s fallen by more than the market average for two weeks in a row. There is, however, a physical 7&#8243; single out which registers suspiciously few copies on this week&#8217;s chart, so they might be holding back distribution for next week to make sure that that doesn&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>27.

The lead single &#8220;Bring Your Love&#8221; reached number 29 in May, but that had Sabrina Carpenter on it. Madonna hasn&#8217;t had an entirely solo top 40 hit since 2015 (&#8220;Living For Love&#8221;). It&#8217;s her 74th top 40 hit, the first dating from 1984. Danceteria was the nightclub where Madonna was discovered; it&#8217;s one of her better recent tracks, and certainly better than the half-formed &#8220;Bring Your Love&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Confessions II&#8221; is her 13th number 1 album. It&#8217;s perhaps more of a surprise to see that the last one was back in 2012 &#8211; heritage acts tend to do well on the album chart, and she&#8217;s come very close on several occasions since, but without quite making it.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Choosin&#8217; Texas&#8221; by Ella Langley<\/strong> climbs 9-5.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Wonderwall&#8221; by Oasis<\/strong> climbs 32-11.
