This is over ten weeks old as well, by the way, but it&#8217;s still growing, so it&#8217;s not in danger of being hit by the chart rules just yet. <strong>&#8220;Ride It&#8221; by Regard<\/strong> climbs 3-2, and&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Harry Styles &#8211; &#8220;Lights Up&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9NZvM1918_E\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Remember Harry Styles? One Direction? Earmarked to be the breakout solo star? And then&#8230;. er&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put it in context: Zayn Malik has had seven top 40 hits, including a number one. Niall Horan has had three (the last in 2017). Liam Payne has had six. Louis Tomlinson has had three. And Harry Styles has had&#8230; one, &#8220;Sign of the Times&#8221;. It managed a week at number one in 2017 and, to be fair, it spent seven weeks in the top ten. The self-titled parent album got an album at number one as well. But it didn&#8217;t get any other singles into the top 40  &#8211;  two more were released, and they made no headway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the lead single from album two. As before, Harry is the Serious Artist One. It&#8217;s not bad, it certainly stands out in the current chart as an AOR song. But we&#8217;re still waiting for the impact his solo career was predicted to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Circles&#8221; by Post Malone<\/strong>, which has been meandering around the top 10 for six weeks, reaches a new peak of 4. <strong>&#8220;Outnumbered&#8221; by Dermot Kennedy<\/strong> is up 8-6, and <strong>&#8220;South of the Border&#8221; by Ed Sheeran featuring Camila Cabello &amp; Cardi B <\/strong>predictably vaults 24-7 into the top 10. <strong>&#8220;Be Honest&#8221; by Jorja Smith featuring Burna Boy<\/strong> climbs 11-8 to give Smith her first top ten hit, two years after her chart debut. <strong>&#8220;Bruises&#8221; by Lewis Capaldi<\/strong> climbs 16-9 to enter the top 10, thanks to the new versions being promoted as singles &#8211; the original version of the track charted months ago. <strong>&#8220;Post Malone&#8221; by Sam Feldt featuring Rani<\/strong> edges into the top 10 at 10 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Buss Down&#8221; by Aitch featuring Ziezie<\/strong> climbs 20-11, <strong>&#8220;Professor X&#8221; by Dave <\/strong>is up 18-12, <strong>&#8220;Both&#8221; by Headie One<\/strong> is up 17-13 &#8211; like I say, a lot of this is just rushing to fill the void left by records being downweighted under the chart rules. More notably,<strong>&#8220;God is a Dancer&#8221; by Tiesto &amp; Mabel<\/strong> climbs 32-15, and <strong>&#8220;Turn Me On&#8221; by Riton &amp; Oliver Heldens featuring Vula<\/strong> moves 29-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17. Sidhu Moose Wala x MIST x Steel Banglez x Stefflon Don &#8211; &#8220;47&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iU7cDCmEiUw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Unusual international collaboration. Mist, Steel Banglez and Stefflon Don are all from the world of UK rap, Sidhu Moose Wala is an Indian star. The result sounds&#8230; well, it&#8217;s pretty much the obvious route, to be honest. The title is &#8220;47&#8221; as in &#8220;AK&#8221;, if you hadn&#8217;t guessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>19.

By Maroon 5 standards, this is pretty decent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Liar&#8221; by Camila Cabello<\/strong>, which looked to have stalled in the lower 30s, has finally taken off, and climbs 27-21 this week. <strong>&#8220;Good as Hell&#8221; by Lizzo<\/strong> is up 28-22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>33. Meduza, Becky Hill &amp; Goodboys &#8211; &#8220;Lose Control&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b7kxtIGaNpw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The follow up to &#8220;Piece of Your Heart&#8221;, which reached number 2 for Meduza (the producers) and Goodboys (the singers) back in the spring. It&#8217;s a classic example of cloning the hit for the follow-up, with diminishing returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And <strong>&#8220;Graveyard&#8221; by Halsey<\/strong> climbs 38-36! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Elbow &#8211; &#8220;Giants of All Sizes&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EJa5FvCaBJc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Elbow&#8217;s eighth studio album, and their third consecutive number one.

Freddie Mercury &#8211; &#8220;Never Boring&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HTdd8QxifbY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>A box set of his solo work. The remix above &#8211; and yes, both versions are on the collection &#8211; was his only number 1, two years after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>19.

Lil Tjay &#8211; &#8220;True 2 Myself&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R9RtTGzs5EE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Debut album. He&#8217;s a rapper from the Bronx, and yes, that&#8217;s how he capitalises his name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unusually, <strong>&#8220;Get To Know&#8221; by Becky Hill<\/strong>, which entered at 33 two weeks ago and dropped straight out of the top 40, rebounds to 24. Don&#8217;t ask me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>31. Gary Numan &amp; Tubeway Army &#8211; &#8220;Replicas &#8211; The First Recordings&#8221;<\/strong><br><strong>36.
