It feels like the calm before the storm. Meanwhile, the Weeknd gets a fifth week at number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Aitch &amp; AJ Tracey featuring Tay Keith &#8211; &#8220;Rain&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NlNNl5oifMY\" 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\">Collaboration of two big name UK rappers, so a predictable top ten new entry, despite it being a minimalist affair. Tay Keith, getting his first chart credit, is the producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Physical&#8221; by Dua Lipa <\/strong>climbs 13-8 to become her eighth top 10 hit; &#8220;Don&#8217;t Start Now&#8221;, the previous single, is still hanging around at 5. <strong>&#8220;Say So&#8221; by Doja Cat<\/strong> climbs 10-9. <strong>&#8220;To Die For&#8221; by Sam Smith<\/strong> climbs 23-19, and <strong>Mabel&#8217;s &#8220;Boyfriend&#8221;<\/strong> climbs 28-25. Further down, we have a few new entries&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>26. Da Beatfreakz featuring Krept &amp; Konan, D-Block Europe &amp; Deno  &#8211; &#8220;Self-Obsessed&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VEg9K6jVHxQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another multi-way rap track (confusingly, the video credits the individual members of D-Block Europe rather than the collective name used in the official credit). It&#8217;s, er, not for me. Da Beatfreakz had a number 32 track last year with &#8220;Motorola&#8221;, on which Deno also appeared &#8211; he&#8217;s the same guy who had a top 20 hit with &#8220;Advice&#8221; in 2018 under the name &#8220;Deno Driz&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Number 32 is <strong>&#8220;City of Angels&#8221; by 24KGoldn<\/strong> (up two pages), and below it, <strong>&#8220;Birthday&#8221; by Anne-Marie<\/strong> and <strong>&#8220;Death Bed&#8221; by Powfu featuring Beabadoobee<\/strong> edge up a place to 33 and 34 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>35. Demi Lovato &#8211; &#8220;I Love Me&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vImvzQCb0o8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lead single from her seventh album, which makes number 32 look like a rather low entry point. It&#8217;s a grower, though the lyrics are kind of obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=juoznBaQbJE\">36. Lil Uzi Vert &#8211; &#8220;Baby Pluto&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yUAF0nKN0Ck\">37. Lil Uzi Vert &#8211; &#8220;P2&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two tracks from his album &#8220;Eternal Atake&#8221;, which enters at 3. That&#8217;s far above his 2017 album &#8220;Luv is Rage 2&#8221;, which got to 14. But no singles here to match 2017&#8217;s &#8220;XO Tour Llif3&#8221; &#8211; it only reached 25, but it spent four months in the top 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>39. Benee featuring Gus Dapperton &#8211; &#8220;Supalonely&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rb6Scz-5YOs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First UK hit for Benee &#8211; she&#8217;s from Auckland, and her single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D3gmU0GOTXI\">&#8220;Glitter&#8221;<\/a> was a big hit in Australia and New Zealand last year. This track really suffers from annoying treatment of her vocals. New Yorker Gus Dapperton hasn&#8217;t charted before in this country either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Paul Heaton &amp; Jacqui Abbott &#8211; &#8220;Manchester Calling&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bcn_AV9S7RE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth album that they&#8217;ve released as a duo since 2014. All have made the top 4, but this is their first number one. They&#8217;re also on three number one albums by the Beautiful South (well, one of those is the first greatest hits collection, but Abbott&#8217;s on some of that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Number 3 is the Lil Uzi Vert album, previously mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Deacon Blue &#8211; &#8220;City of Love&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u6FlJEfL0O0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Another case of a veteran act getting their highest position in years, since their audience still consumes albums. Deacon Blue haven&#8217;t been this high up since their greatest hits album reached number 1 in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Lauv &#8211; &#8220;How I&#8217;m Feeling&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The debut album. The singles &#8220;I&#8217;m So Tired&#8221; and &#8220;F*** I&#8217;m Lonely&#8221; both charted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13. Jhen\u00e9 Aiko &#8211; &#8220;Chilombo&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xVfddViugYQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jhen\u00e9 Aiko had a number 23 album in 2014, but the 2017 follow-up didn&#8217;t chart, and she&#8217;s never got a single into the top 40. So her sudden appearance at number 13 is a bit of a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>26. Rory Gallagher &#8211; &#8220;Check Shirt Wizard &#8211; Live in &#8217;77&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OMrPsI2b50g\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rory Gallagher is a blues guitarist who died in 1995; he&#8217;s charted with several posthumous releases since, one of which made the albums top 20 last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>28. David Soul &#8211; &#8220;Gold&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a compilation. Soul had two number ones in the UK &#8211; &#8220;Don&#8217;t Give Up On Us&#8221; in 1976 and &#8220;Silver Lady&#8221; in 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>29. The Fizz &#8211; &#8220;Smoke &amp; Mirrors&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k2cuwjVulE0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second album to chart under this name by, well, a version of Bucks Fizz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 The Weeknd &#8211; &#8220;Blinding Lights&#8221; This is a business as usual chart, at a time when everyone expects that business is about to be very much not as usual, and for a prolonged period.
