The Weeknd &#8211; &#8220;After Hours&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E3QiD99jPAg\" 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\">Together with &#8220;Blinding Lights&#8221; (still at 2), these are the three tracks to chart from the Weeknd&#8217;s new album &#8220;After Hours&#8221;. It enters the album chart at number 1 in a refreshing show of normalcy. It&#8217;s only his second UK number 1 album, the other one being 2015&#8217;s &#8220;Beauty Behind the Madness&#8221; &#8211; two albums since then also made the top 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;In Your Eyes&#8221; <em>does<\/em> have a video, but it&#8217;s a five-minute slasher film, so I&#8217;m not going to embed it. It&#8217;s a natural single, so you&#8217;d think they&#8217;d make something a bit more daytime-friendly available. The six-minute &#8220;After Hours&#8221; is a rather less obvious track to chart, but it was put out as a promotional single in advance of the album release (it was at 43 last week).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Death Bed&#8221; by Powfu featuring Beabadoobee<\/strong> climbs 23-19, and <strong>&#8220;Supalonely&#8221; by Benee featuring Gus Dapperton<\/strong> climbs 22-21. <strong>&#8220;Know Your Worth&#8221; by Khalid &amp; Disclosure<\/strong> climbs 29-28. <strong>&#8220;Tequila&#8221; by <\/strong>&#8211; ahem &#8211; <strong>Jax Jones &amp; Martin Solveig Present Europa featuring Raye<\/strong> climbs 38-31, and <strong>&#8220;Boss Bitch&#8221; by Doja Cat <\/strong>climbs 34-32. But there are <em>some <\/em>other new entries&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>34. Nathan Dawe featuring Jaykae &#8211; &#8220;Flowers&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bJwLnupq74U\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debut hit for both of these guys. Nathan Dawe is a DJ; Jaykae isn&#8217;t the singer on this track, he&#8217;s the rapper on the break. The (uncredited) vocals are sampled from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iR2tIyj8_y8\">&#8220;Flowers&#8221; by Sweet Female Attitude<\/a>, which reached number 2 in 2000. In other words, it&#8217;s another of those tracks which is essentially a remix, but with the artist credit given to the remixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>36. Surfaces &#8211; &#8220;Sunday Best&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_83KqwEEGw4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been out since last summer, but it&#8217;s charting now thanks to TikTok. Surfaces are a US duo, and this is their first hit. It&#8217;s perfectly pleasant but you suspect it works better at TikTok length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>37. Fredo &#8211; &#8220;Scorpion&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2Gdc-xr6TmE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bit of a slow start, considering his last single &#8220;Netflix and Chill&#8221; entered at 13 in November&#8230; but it&#8217;s a strange time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>39. Mastermind featuring Bandokay &#8211; &#8220;War&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bV8dWSym3Fg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, mmm, yes, not really my thing. Debut hit for both of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the album chart, <strong>&#8220;After Hours&#8221; by the Weeknd<\/strong> is number 1, but we&#8217;ve covered that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Morrissey &#8211; &#8220;I am not a Dog on a Chain&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8UJKpKJaz68\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was unaware that this was a matter of controversy. Morrissey albums consistently make the top 5, but these days they tend to plunge straight out of the top 40 in a couple of weeks. He does at least seem to be stretching the formula &#8211; for one thing, he appears to have belatedly discovered synthpop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Kenny Rogers &#8211; &#8220;All the Hits &amp; All New Love Songs&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7hx4gdlfamo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rogers died last week at the age of 81, and this is a re-entry for his greatest hits album, which reached number 14 on release in 1999. I&#8217;ve used &#8220;The Gambler&#8221; above because, well, it&#8217;s got an official video on YouTube&#8230; but it was his last UK hit single, reached number 22 in 1985. His biggest hit was &#8220;Coward of the County&#8221;, which spent two weeks at number 1 in 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Slow Readers Club &#8211; &#8220;The Joy of the Return&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BM0NHrGM_GM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manchester indie. It&#8217;s their second album, and the first to make the top 10. (2018&#8217;s &#8220;Build a Tower&#8221; reached 18.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. David Bowie &#8211; &#8220;Is It Any Wonder&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dfhl865KoTc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rarities collection. This is an alternate version of a song from the first Tin Machine album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>20. Childish Gambino &#8211; &#8220;3.15.20&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gezFLhUznSk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, that&#8217;s the entire album. Yes, I know. It&#8217;s the fourth Childish Gambino album, and only the second to chart in the UK (the other one was &#8220;Awaken My Love&#8221;, which reached number 34 in 2016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>25. Young T &amp; Bugsey &#8211; &#8220;Plead the 5th&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their first album. The single &#8220;Don&#8217;t Rush&#8221; reached number 20 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>30. Conan Gray &#8211; &#8220;Kid Krow&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hEDBZtmKPmg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debut album hit.
