The extraordinary town in the video is not CGI &#8211; it&#8217;s Burja Al Babas in Turkey, a set of 587 identical castles which has been lying empty and unfinished since the developers went bust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;1000 Hours&#8221; by Dan &amp; Shay featuring Justin Bieber<\/strong> climbs 20-17, and <strong>&#8220;Good as Hell&#8221; by Lizzo<\/strong> climbs 22-18.

Blackbear &#8211; &#8220;Hot Girl Bummer&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yMlKJGKyoCo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, our highest new entry of the week. This isn&#8217;t as horrendously gimmicky as it might sound &#8211; specifically, it&#8217;s <em>not <\/em>a parody of &#8220;Hot Girl Summer&#8221; by Megan Thee Stallion, which only managed a week at number 40 in this country. Supposedly it&#8217;s meant to reference the hashtag which <em>in turn<\/em> was referencing the song. Got that? Of course, just because it&#8217;s better than you&#8217;d expect, doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s all that good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blackbear&#8217;s career runs to five solo albums and two collaborative albums, none of which have had any impact in the UK (he did get a single to number 94 in 2017, but Gucci Mane was on that one). But he&#8217;s done okay in the US, where that 2017 album did gold. He&#8217;s also released an album along with Mike Posner, who <em>has<\/em> had some degree of UK success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>33. Jax Jones featuring Ella Henderson &#8211; &#8220;This Is Real&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mpArZkzrU3g\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Now there&#8217;s a video concept that needed better choreography to pull it off. Ella Henderson was a mid-placing X-Factor contestant in 2014 who seemed to be off to a good start with her number 1 debut &#8220;Ghost&#8221; and two further top ten hits &#8211; but this is the first we&#8217;ve seen of her since she guested on a Kygo single four years ago. She&#8217;s being relaunched with an EP, &#8220;Glorious&#8221;, but neither of the singles from that have charted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interesting move, they&#8217;ve been placing the <em>entire video<\/em> as an advert on YouTube before <em>other people&#8217;s videos<\/em>, which I would normally say was deeply annoying, but at least it&#8217;s not Grammarly again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>40. The Script &#8211; &#8220;The Last Time&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qw0PuHJrvrM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Instantly forgettable lead single from their upcoming sixth album &#8220;Sunsets &amp; Full Moons.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Foals &#8211; &#8220;Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost &#8211; Part 2&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h8xZje1jbI0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The companion to, well, &#8220;Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost &#8211; Part 1&#8221;, which reached number 2 in March. All six Foals albums have placed in the top 10, but this is their first number 1 after 11 years of trying. To be fair, Part 1 only just missed number one by a couple of hundred copies, because it had the misfortune to come out against the Dave album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. James Arthur &#8211; &#8220;You&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His third album (the first was in 2013, so he&#8217;s not hugely prolific). All three have placed in the top 2. Two of the singles charted &#8211; &#8220;Empty Space&#8221;, which reached 22 last year, and &#8220;Falling Like the Stars&#8221;, which got to 25 in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Alter Bridge &#8211; &#8220;Walk The Sky&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bAz1vYAwVKE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Still a band I associate mainly with doing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=--5tBLiE1Fk\">Edge&#8217;s theme song from years ago<\/a>. But their studio albums have reliably placed in the top 10 since 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Yungblud &#8211; &#8220;The Underrated Youth&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0DA-Hv6GM2A\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Officially an EP, but take it up with the album chart. He&#8217;s from Doncaster, and this is the first time he&#8217;s appeared on either top 40. It&#8217;s the sort of emo thing that used to make the singles chart ten years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Daniel O&#8217;Donnell &#8211; &#8220;Halfway to Paradise&#8221;<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4A8nIeSWQFU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The veteran ultra-gentle light entertainer with his&#8230; blimey, his 45th top 75 album. It&#8217;s the highest placing since &#8220;The Hank Williams Songbook&#8221; in 2015, which might not sound like much, but there&#8217;s been six other Daniel O&#8217;Donnell albums since then, including two best ofs. This is apparently a collection of &#8220;60 timeless Rock N Roll classics that Daniel loves to sing&#8221;. It seems to be another compilation &#8211; I can&#8217;t find anything on YouTube specifically promoting it, but as near as I can figure, the titular Billy Fury cover is the same version that he previously released on &#8220;Daniel In Blue Jeans&#8221; (2003). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>21. Jimmy Eat World &#8211; &#8220;Surviving&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XU-TZiVVaTE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Exactly the same position as the previous album from 2016. They know their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>29. Wretch 32 &#8211; &#8220;Upon Reflection&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QdR01hbdAYI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Now there&#8217;s a name from the past. Or not, in fact, since it&#8217;s only been two years since the last Wretch 32 album. But it&#8217;s been four years since the last hit single, and his four albums have placed at 4, 5, 12 and now 29, so the omens aren&#8217;t great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>37. Floating Points &#8211; &#8220;Crush&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WezWspsKgpM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the third album (and first to chart) from electronica artist Sam Shepherd. Unusually for the genre, it\u2019s got a performance video (it may not look like it at first, but it is, honest).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah well, another tumbleweed week. 1.
