But let&#8217;s get the singles out of the way first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Ed Sheeran featuring Stormzy &#8211; &#8220;Take Me Back To London&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three weeks and counting, so it&#8217;s now Stormzy&#8217;s longest-running number one. Stormzy also has another single out, but we&#8217;ll come to that later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11. Post Malone &#8211; &#8220;Hollywood&#8217;s Bleeding&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w5GrxfjuTTI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This heavily echoed dirge &#8211; file under &#8220;at least it&#8217;s short&#8221; &#8211; is the title track of <strong>&#8220;Hollywood&#8217;s Bleeding&#8221;<\/strong>, his second number one album. Let&#8217;s see if he gets past a week this time &#8211; &#8220;Beerbongs and Bentleys&#8221; didn&#8217;t, though in fairness it did last 15 weeks in the album top 10. Predictably, he gets the obligatory three singles in the chart: as well as this, the current single <strong>&#8220;Circles&#8221;<\/strong> climbs 11-5, and &#8220;Goodbyes&#8221; rebounds to 10. The other Post Malone-themed track, &#8220;Post Malone&#8221; by Sam Feldt featuring Rani &#8211; which he has nothing to do with &#8211; holds steady at 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Ride It&#8221; by Regard<\/strong> climbs 25-15, and <strong>&#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; by Tones &amp; I <\/strong>finally lifts off, climbing 31-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>20. Stormzy &#8211; &#8220;Sounds of the Skeng&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0IHSlLIP24E\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third single from his upcoming album, off to a slower start than usual. It&#8217;s maybe less instant, and more of a showcase to the hardcore, but I&#8217;d still expect it to get higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>21. Aitch featuring Ziezie &#8211; &#8220;Buss Down&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/txOy5IyZurU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a good week to be Aitch. His debut album <strong>&#8220;Aitch2O&#8221; <\/strong>enters the album chart at 3, his own <strong>&#8220;Taste (Make it Shake)&#8221; by Aitch<\/strong> climbs to 2, while <strong>&#8220;Strike a Pose&#8221; by Young T &amp; Bugsey featuring Aitch<\/strong> climbs 10-9. And rounding out the maximum of three, we&#8217;ve got this track, which was the instant-gratification track for pre-orders &#8211; so not <em>exactly <\/em>a promotional single, but pretty close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Outnumbered&#8221; by Dermot Kennedy<\/strong> is up to 23, and <strong>&#8220;Truth Hurts&#8221; by Lizzo<\/strong> reaches 29.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>38. Camila Cabello &#8211; &#8220;Liar&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KsDZix4ZSlU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slow start for the follow-up to &#8220;Senorita&#8221; &#8211; which is still at 14. It&#8217;s not such a good use of her voice, but the video is quite something. Even if it is based on the title rather than the actual song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>40. Miley Cyrus &#8211; &#8220;Slide Away&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rrvFv6j3-sM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A non-album single which came out a few weeks ago and looked to be in danger of missing the top 40 entirely, despite decent reviews. It&#8217;s one of her occasional semi-ballad releases where she reminds us that she can carry a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the album chart, <strong>Post Malone<\/strong> is number 1, and <strong>Aitch <\/strong>is the higher new entry at number 3. (The Lana Del Rey album falls 1-7.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Status Quo &#8211; &#8220;Backbone&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nyIeOz7EOU0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 50 years after their first hit single (1968&#8217;s &#8220;Pictures of Matchstick Men&#8221;), Status Quo get their 25th top 10 album. It sounds exactly as you&#8217;d expect &#8211; competent but basically identical to everything they&#8217;ve made since 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. Melanie Martinez &#8211; &#8220;K-12&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F6xFL20Xnz8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melanie Martinez was on <em>The Voice <\/em>in America in 2012, but she&#8217;s relatively obscure in the UK. &#8220;K-12&#8221; is the soundtrack to a full length film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2HtaIvb61Uk\">which is available for free on YouTube<\/a>, so heaven knows how anything is paying for that. Apparently the album makes more sense if you watch the entire film first. It&#8217;s all rather endearingly perverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11. Belinda Carlisle &#8211; &#8220;Gold&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hgpXSoWBAVA\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massive four-hour retrospective compilation. Her biggest UK hit was &#8220;Heaven Is A Place On Earth&#8221;, which was number 1 in 1987. It&#8217;s great, but I&#8217;ve always thought &#8220;Circle in the Sand&#8221; was underrated, so&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13. Bat for Lashes &#8211; &#8220;Lost Girls&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qm3Xg289qTM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s the first time Natasha Khan has missed the top 10 since her debut album in 2007. She&#8217;s still in full 80s-ethereal mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14. Black Star Riders &#8211; &#8220;Another State of Grace&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1VVvp_jnUX8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the band that started as the then-current touring line-up of Thin Lizzy, but understandably chose to use a different name for their own material. It&#8217;s their fourth album; the last one made the top 10, but it still gives them three straight top 20s. The title track is better than all this might lead you to expect. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mv-tccUbm6U\">The other single from the album<\/a> isn&#8217;t.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>26. Iggy Pop &#8211; &#8220;Free&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mw6NKf95VWA\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eighteenth studio album by Iggy Pop, now in his 70s &#8211; his first solo album was in 1977. He&#8217;s still compelling. Not many people would get away with the song above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>28. Mahalia &#8211; &#8220;Love and Compromise&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/svTIrOcfYEs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahalia Burkmar is an English R&amp;B singer and actress, and this is her second album, but the first to chart. It&#8217;s rather good &#8211; you&#8217;d have thought the single above ought to have charted with the right promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>32. Chrissie Hynde with The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble &#8211; &#8220;Valve Bone Woe&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wZbXqz-23AE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A jazz-style covers album, though of a rather eccentric and inventive sort.
