climbs to a new peak of 21. \u00a0Meanwhile,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Call Me Up&#8221; by Mabel<\/strong>, which I didn&#8217;t think much of, moves 5-3, so what do I know?<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. \u00a0The Jonas Brothers &#8211; &#8220;Sucker&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CnAmeh0-E-U\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->There is, if you prefer, a Director&#8217;s Cut of this video available. \u00a0It&#8217;s half as long again, which seems excessive, so I&#8217;m going with the regular version. \u00a0The Jonas Brothers were one of those Disney-orbiting acts who were involved in\u00a0<em>Camp Rock<\/em> back in 2005 or so. \u00a0They split in 2013, and this is something of a surprise reunion.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll see some coverage talking as if a Jonas Brothers reunion is a big deal in itself, but that&#8217;s more true in America, where they had a few years worth of hit singles on the back of their Disney careers. \u00a0In Britain, their only vaguely significant hit single was &#8220;S.O.S.&#8221;, which made number 13 in 2008 &#8211; though Nick Jonas had some solo hits a couple of years back, and Joe Jonas is a member of DNCE, who made &#8220;Cake By The Ocean&#8221; (and failed to make the top 40 with the follow-up). \u00a0So they&#8217;re hardly guaranteed a top ten hit on name value alone. \u00a0They&#8217;re here at least in part because the single is not bad at all; it&#8217;s co-written by Ryan Tedder, but it&#8217;s got a bit more life to it than many songs that have his name attached..<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Just You and I&#8221; by Tom Walker<\/strong> climbs 10-8, as his debut album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;What A Time To Be Alive&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>enters at number 1. \u00a0<strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m So Tired&#8221; by Lauv &amp; Troye Sivan<\/strong> climbs 17-14.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. \u00a0Roddy Ricch x Chip x Yxng Bane &#8211; &#8220;How It Is&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J1UxLOR0W4w\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Well, the production&#8217;s quite good, but everything else is just meandering. \u00a0Yxng Bane gets his biggest hit since &#8220;Answerphone&#8221; reached the top 10 a year ago. \u00a0Chip is the guy who started off as Chipmunk back in 2009; he hasn&#8217;t had a top 40 hit since he guested on a Wiley single in 2013. \u00a0Roddy Ricch is from Compton, and this is his first appearance on the singles chart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Murder On My Mind&#8221; by YNW Melly<\/strong> climbs 31-20, and I refer you to last week&#8217;s post. \u00a0\u00a0<strong>Little Mix featuring Ty Dolla $ign&#8217;s &#8220;Think About Us&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0edges up one more place to 22, and\u00a0<strong>Kehlani&#8217;s &#8220;Nights Like This&#8221;<\/strong>, also featuring Ty Dolla $ign, moves 33-29.<\/p>\n<p><strong>32. \u00a0Swarmz featuring Tion Wayne &#8211;

and didn&#8217;t manage to follow it up &#8211; the follow-up &#8220;High Five&#8221; stalled at 59. \u00a0This is the final single before the album comes out (it should chart next week) and it&#8217;s&#8230; in third gear? \u00a0There&#8217;s something missing here.<\/p>\n<p>Over on the album chart, it&#8217;s a busy week. \u00a0I&#8217;ve already mentioned\u00a0Tom Walker at number one&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. \u00a0Bryan Adams &#8211; &#8220;Shine A Light&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h7JmInA5n_s\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>His fourteenth studio album, and the title track is co-written by Ed Sheeran &#8211; not that you&#8217;d know, for a change. \u00a0Since the ailing album charts favour legacy acts, number 2 for a Bryan Adams album really isn&#8217;t that surprising &#8211; he did the same thing with his previous studio album in 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. \u00a0Hozier &#8211; &#8220;Wasteland Baby&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HlLx7oE7q3I\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You may remember his 2014 hit &#8220;Take Me To Church&#8221;. \u00a0This is the belated follow-up album, and it&#8217;s a second top ten entry, so not bad after a five year gap. \u00a0The single above is rather good, though the video is horrendously over the top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. \u00a0The Prodigy &#8211; &#8220;Their Law &#8211; The Singles 1990-2000&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>26. \u00a0The Prodigy &#8211; &#8220;The Fat of the Land&#8221;<br \/>\n35. \u00a0The Prodigy &#8211; &#8220;No Tourists&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wmin5WkOuPw\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The natural consequence of the death of sometime frontman Keith Flint earlier in the week is the return of the Prodigy&#8217;s greatest hits album from their 90s-era prime, the return of their 1997 album &#8220;Fat of the Land&#8221; (the one with &#8220;Firestarter&#8221; and &#8220;Breathe&#8221; on it), and &#8211; perhaps a little more surprisingly &#8211; their last album &#8220;No Tourists&#8221;. \u00a0It&#8217;s maybe a little more surprising that none of these records make the singles top 40; &#8220;Firestarter&#8221; is the highest, at number 58. \u00a0But &#8220;Firestarter&#8221; was in 1996. \u00a0Today it sounds more or less conventional, but at the time, it was viewed as unusually harsh and aggressive for a number one. \u00a0Of course, in those days a number one single got played in prime time on Top of the Pops to people who weren&#8217;t otherwise paying attention &#8211; something that doesn&#8217;t apply to anything like the same extent in the current atomisation of pop culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. \u00a0Solange &#8211; &#8220;When I Get Home&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6giKIu5jUvA\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The second album to chart by Beyonc\u00e9&#8217;s sister, who does not have quite the same mononymity cachet &#8211;
