This track is better, although also a touch blander. The video is from the &#8220;rich celebrity makes charitable donations&#8221; genre, which doesn&#8217;t have very much to do with the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Now for some climbers: <strong>&#8220;Lonely&#8221; by Joel Corry<\/strong> climbs 30-16. <strong>&#8220;What a Man Gotta Do&#8221; by the Jonas Brothers<\/strong> climbs 31-22. <strong>&#8220;Better Off Without You&#8221; by Becky Hill featuring Shift K3y<\/strong> climbs 36-24. <strong>&#8220;Say So&#8221; by Doja Cat<\/strong> climbs 35-25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>27.

From a UK standpoint, it serves as the follow-up to &#8220;Outnumbered&#8221;, which reached number 6 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>29.

As a recording act, the Pussycat Dolls were always basically a vehicle for Nicole Scherzinger, but she hasn&#8217;t released a record since 2014 either. Presumably the calculation is that a Pussycat Dolls comeback is likely to be more noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>31.

M24 gets his debut hit; Tion Wayne was on a couple of top ten hits last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M-j159LFwGw\">34. Khalid &amp; Disclosure &#8211; &#8220;Know Your Worth&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No video for this, and it&#8217;s a really busy week so I&#8217;ll just link it. Khalid and Disclosure had a top ten hit together last year with &#8220;Talk&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>36.

This starts off quite interesting and then rather disappoints with the chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>37. YNW Melly &#8211; &#8220;Suicidal&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9OmgXxiKV7A\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>This guy got to number 20 about a year ago with &#8220;Murder on my Mind&#8221;. He&#8217;s currently in jail awaiting trial, hence the animated video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>38. Mustard featuring Roddy Ricch &#8211; &#8220;Ballin'&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YS0h2-hy9rw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Something of a spillover from Ricch&#8217;s current main single &#8220;The Box&#8221;, currently at number 2. Mustard is the same guy who used to be credited as DJ Mustard; his only previous hit was as one of a horde of guests on will.i.am&#8217;s &#8220;Feelin&#8217; Myself&#8221;, which got to number 2 in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the albums chart&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>.1 Green Day &#8211; &#8220;Father of All Mother&#8212;-ers&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eXv00PJ9IQM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The official censored version of the title is actually &#8220;Father of All&#8230;&#8221;, but that doesn&#8217;t really make sense, does it? This is Green Day&#8217;s fourth number 1 album, and another example of my frequent point about how the declining albums market has tended to leave legacy artists higher up the chart than you&#8217;d expect. Of their other number ones, only 2004&#8217;s &#8220;American Idiot&#8221; really comes from their heyday; the others were 2009&#8217;s &#8220;21st Century Breakdown&#8221; (which couldn&#8217;t get a single above number 21) and 2016&#8217;s &#8220;Revolution Radio&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Oh Wonder &#8211; &#8220;No One Else Can Wear Your Crown&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y00Pkm-PnXs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>That matches the peak of their previous album &#8220;Ultralife&#8221; &#8211; which, er, dropped straight out of the top 100 the following week. The single&#8217;s worth a play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. Those Damn Crows &#8211; &#8220;Point of No Return&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aHFJl36n8cY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re a Welsh rock band, and this is their first appearance on the album chart. The video is extremely generic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>18. Bryan Ferry &#8211; &#8220;Live at the Royal Albert Hall 1974&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rVyd3b9pCrM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Exactly what it says &#8211; a previously unreleased live album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20. La Roux &#8211; &#8220;Supervision&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sPXMSmJaWO8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>La Roux started as a duo, but it&#8217;s been a pseudonym for Elly Jackson since 2014. Both previous albums made the top 10, but a six year gap has evidently shed fans. I&#8217;d have given the track above a remix before releasing it as a single, because it takes forever to get going, but it&#8217;s great when it gets there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>22. Pop Smoke &#8211; &#8220;Meet the Woo 2&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oib2gIA0W4k\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s a New York rapper, and this is his first appearance on the album chart, with what&#8217;s officially his second mixtape. He&#8217;s a charmer, this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>30. Cadillac Three &#8211; &#8220;Country Fuzz&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LHnBbBvXZoM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Southern country rock, naturally. The previous album got to 16, but this is back to business as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>39. Seth Lakeman &#8211; &#8220;A Pilgrim&#8217;s Tale&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sPmPHabYyck\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a bit of folk. Seth Lakeman had a top 10 album back in 2008, but he seems to have settled back down to the bottom end of the albums top 40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots going on, but most of it is at the bottom end of the singles chart. 1.
