The vocal processing on this is just unlistenably irritating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Both&#8221; by Headie One<\/strong> climbs 18-13, and\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Harder&#8221; by Jax Jones &amp; Bebe Rexha<\/strong> continues to crawl 36-30-25-24-23.<\/p>\n<p><strong>25. \u00a0Regard &#8211; &#8220;Ride It&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LoSm6VkplJc\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is a strange one, at least where the artist credit is concerned. Regard is a DJ from Kosovo &#8211; he actually seems to prefer &#8220;DJ Regard&#8221;, but evidently the record company have thought better of that. This is an entirely pleasant house track, but quite why he gets sole artist credit is a bit of a mystery, since it&#8217;s a remix of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dzFYVHErXTo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jay Sean song<\/a> which reached number 11 in 2008 (and has aged quite well &#8211; it&#8217;s better than the remix). It&#8217;s not that Jay Sean objects to the treatment of his voice &#8211; he&#8217;s given interviews in which he&#8217;s quite complimentary about the track. So&#8230; why doesn&#8217;t he get a credit?<\/p>\n<p>Further down, some examples of just how long a track can hang around the bottom of the charts:\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Outnumbered&#8221; by Dermot Kennedy<\/strong> has now climbed 39-34-31-30-26, while\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Truth Hurts&#8221; by Lizzo\u00a0<\/strong>reaches the top 30 in its 19th week on release, with a top 40 record of 37-39-39-34-38-36-37-31-30. A little more surprisingly, her album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Cuz I Love You&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; released back in May &#8211;\u00a0<em>finally<\/em> climbs into the album chart at number 40.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; by Tones &amp; I<\/strong> climbs 40-31, and\u00a0<strong>&#8220;F**k I&#8217;m Lonely&#8221; by Lauv &amp; Anne-Marine<\/strong> climbs 33-32.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37.

Bbno$ is a Canadian rapper &#8211; you&#8217;re meant to say it &#8220;baby no money&#8221;, and Y2K is a US producer. This is&#8230; pretty much a novelty viral hit, but it&#8217;s had modest success around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Over on the album chart:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Lana Del Rey &#8211; &#8220;Norman Fucking Rockwell&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qolmz4FlnZ0\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You might not have marked Lana Del Rey out for longevity, but this is her fifth album in seven years, and her fourth number one. (The other one, &#8220;Honeymoon&#8221;, was a number two.) She can often come across as trying a bit too hard in her retro schtick &#8211; I mean, look at that album title &#8211; but the single above is rather good. It&#8217;s a cover; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H3ypeugNzYA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the original was by Sublime<\/a>, and came out in 1997.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. \u00a0Tool &#8211; &#8220;Fear Inoculum&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q7DfQMPmJRI\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Their fifth album, after a thirteen year gap, matches the chart position of its predecessor.
