In the meantime, we have&#8230; well, an extremely uneventful chart, but a format&#8217;s a format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. DaBaby featuring Roddy Ricch &#8211; &#8220;Rockstar&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two weeks at number one, and with a comfortable lead. Below that&#8230; it&#8217;s a long list of climbers before we reach the highest new entry. Deep breath, then. <strong>&#8220;Say So&#8221; by Doja Cat<\/strong> returns to number 2 (after dropping to 3 last week). <strong>&#8220;Rover&#8221; by S1mba featuring DTG<\/strong> climbs 8-4. <strong>&#8220;Flowers&#8221; by Nathan Dawe featuring Jaykae<\/strong> climbs 17-13. A more notable one, moving 24-15, is <strong>&#8220;Breaking Me&#8221; by Topic featuring A7S.<\/strong> <strong>&#8220;This City&#8221; by Sam Fischer<\/strong> edges up one place to 19. <strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Need Love&#8221; by 220 Kid &amp; Gracey<\/strong> is still climbing (22-20), which is a good performance for a throwback dance record. <strong>Doja Cat<\/strong>&#8216;s other single <strong>&#8220;Boss Bitch&#8221;<\/strong> rebounds to 24, beating its previous peak of 28 from a month ago.  <strong>&#8220;Kings &amp; Queens&#8221; by Ava Max<\/strong> climbs 29-25. And finally we reach&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>30. Regard &amp; Raye &#8211; &#8220;Secrets&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/txp8yzYzXEU\" 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\">The same Regard who had a number 2 hit with &#8220;Ride It&#8221; last year. That was basically a remix of the Jay Sean single of the same name; this is an original song. Raye  had a number 15 hit back in 2017, but she&#8217;s probably best known as a guest singer for the likes of Jax Jones, who&#8217;s had three separate hits with her; the biggest was &#8220;You Don&#8217;t Know Me&#8221;, which reached number 3 in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interesting fact! The only other artist to reach the singles chart who had the letters RAYE in their name is a bunch of session musicians who reached number 12 in 1976 with a mostly instrumental disco version of &#8220;Baby Face&#8221;,  credited to the Wing And A Prayer Fife &amp; Drum Corps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have one other new entry this week&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>34. StaySolidRocky &#8211; &#8220;Party Girl&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1KlNDZpCkHc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s a rapper from Virginia. This is quite good, actually. It&#8217;s kind of a fragment stretched to song length, but it&#8217;s sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t normally bother with records that just miss the top 40, but it seems a shame to pass up&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>43. Dadi Freyr &#8211; &#8220;Think About Things&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VFZNvj-HfBU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the record that would have been the Icelandic entry in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, which<em> <\/em>was cancelled due to the pandemic and replaced with a strange video-link show across Europe. This track was widely tipped as a possible winner and he was able to make some sort of impact even in the odd format that was broadcast. The video is wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the album chart, <strong>&#8220;Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent&#8221; by Lewis Capaldi<\/strong>, which has been out for over a year, is at number 1 for a seventh time and a tenth week in total. Its previous week was in March. It&#8217;s still never dropped below 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Future &#8211; &#8220;High Off Life&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lead single &#8220;Life is Good&#8221; got to number 3 in January. Future is very prolific &#8211; this is his seventh top 40 album, and the first one was in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Polo G &#8211; &#8220;The GOAT&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/14AYq_rBJUg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s a Chicago rapper. This is his second album, but the first one to chart in the UK. If you&#8217;re wondering why on earth somebody is sampling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GlRQjzltaMQ\">Bruce Hornsby &amp; The Range<\/a> in 2020, it&#8217;s a reference to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eXvBjCO19QY\">2Pac&#8217;s &#8220;Changes&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Sleaford Mods &#8211; &#8220;All That Glue&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GQZN01Cqzek\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compilation album, covering their last seven years. Their last three studio albums all charted between numbers 9 and 12, so they&#8217;re incredibly consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>18. Jason Isbell &amp; The 400 Unit &#8211; &#8220;Reunions&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z_mI6V5Sx9Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jason Isbell&#8217;s third top 40 album in the UK, to add to the three he picked up with the Drive-By Truckers. Not <em>quite<\/em> the highest placing &#8211; 2015&#8217;s &#8220;Something More Than Free&#8221; got to 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>32. Paradise Lost &#8211; &#8220;Obsidian&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QWqNcw-oIbU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;ve been having top 40 albums since 1995 and they&#8217;re on Nuclear Blast Records &#8211; what do you think they sound like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>33. Charli XCX &#8211; &#8220;How I&#8217;m Feeling Now&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TbJE-KVZvTA\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An album recorded and released during the lockdown. Charli XCX albums normally chart in the teens, so I guess her audience have filed this as a side project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New comics are apparently imminent once again.
