By current chart standards, &#8220;Great Expectations&#8221; is a relative newcomer at a mere eleven weeks on chart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.

The parent album also got to number 2 last week. So Ad\u00e9la seems to have managed a legitimate breakthrough in the 2026 market, and that&#8217;s tough. The video above is not remotely subtle, but the track&#8217;s actually pretty good, and I do think there&#8217;s more going on here than with someone like Tate McRae &#8211; though Adela tracks do also have a slight tendency to lapse into generic you-go-girl lyrics in verse 2.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The sped-up sample is from &#8220;In My Father&#8217;s House&#8221; by God&#8217;s Gospel Angels, though it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whosampled.com\/sample\/1517813\/AD\u00c9LA-Nicole-Kidman-God%27s-Gospel-Angels-In-My-Father%27s-House\/\"> more chopped up than you might think<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>23.

It reached number 3 on release in 1999, and it was their biggest UK hit (though &#8220;Waterfalls&#8221;, &#8220;Creep&#8221; and &#8220;Unpretty&#8221; were also top ten hits). I guess it&#8217;s the sort of track that&#8217;s ideally suited to this sort of rediscovery &#8211; it&#8217;s over 25 years old, it&#8217;s good, but it doesn&#8217;t get enough play for The Kids to know it already.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24.

He came third on\u00a0<em>The Voice UK<\/em> in 2017 which (as usual for that show) didn&#8217;t lead to much. This has been out for a few weeks, but it&#8217;s charting now because of the video above, with added vocals from Antonio Cipirano. I don&#8217;t think much of it. Frankly, this is music for people who find Alex Warren a bit too edgy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>30.

This was a number 1 on release in 1996, and it pops up sporadically &#8211; it reaches number 25 in 2017, number 9 in 2024, and number 17 just last year. There&#8217;s also a resurgence of interest in Oasis in the album chart, with the &#8220;Time Flies&#8221; compilation climbing back into the top 10 at number 5, &#8220;What&#8217;s The Story Morning Glory&#8221; climbing 12 places to number 12, and &#8220;Definitely Maybe&#8221; re-entering at number 17. (None of the later albums make the top 100, and as far as I&#8217;m aware, there&#8217;s no rule to prevent that.)<\/p>\n<p>We really are overloaded with back catalogue at the moment &#8211; even ignoring tracks which have simply never left following their release, like &#8220;Ordinary&#8221;, there are ten back catalogue tracks in the top 40 right now. Admittedly, three of those are by Dolly Parton, but if they weren&#8217;t in the top 40 then there would be two other back catalogue tracks taking their place. Number 41 is Tove Lo&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AzRyxGBGiAE\">&#8220;Talking Body&#8221;<\/a> from 2015, and number 43 is &#8220;Mr Brightside&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Training\u00a0 Season&#8221; by Dua Lipa<\/strong> climbs 7-5.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Stop The Wedding&#8221; by Ashe<\/strong> climbs 16-9 to become her first top 10 hit.
