Not keen on the knives, personally. Anyway, this is the second single from the next Lady Gaga album, so we&#8217;re  back to more of a normal promotional cycle. Good song, though &#8211; fitting enough for the times. Lady Gaga gets her sixth number one, following 2018&#8217;s &#8220;Shallow&#8221;, and four tracks from her imperial period in 2009-10 (&#8220;Just Dance&#8221;, &#8220;Poker Face&#8221;, &#8220;Bad Romance&#8221; and &#8220;Telephone&#8221;). Since &#8220;Shallow&#8221; was very much outside her normal style, this is a definite comeback. It&#8217;s Ariana Grande&#8217;s sixth number one too, though all of hers have come in 2014 or later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Rover&#8221; by S1mba featuring DTG<\/strong> climbs 4-3, and there&#8217;s not much else of note going on in the top 20, really. <strong>&#8220;Breaking Me&#8221; by Topic featuring A7S <\/strong>climbs 15-11. <strong>&#8220;Flowers&#8221; by Nathan Daw featuring Jaykae<\/strong> climbs 13-12. <strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Need Love&#8221; by 220 Kid &amp; Gracey<\/strong> climbs 20-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>24.

The previous KSI single, &#8220;Houdini&#8221;, rebounds from 23-15 (it peaked at 6 a month ago).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offset has had hit singles before as a guest and as a member of Migos. Aiyana-Lee Anderson gets her first chart credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Secrets&#8221; by Regard &amp; Raye<\/strong> climbs 30-25, and <strong>&#8220;Party Girl&#8221; by Staysolidrocky<\/strong> climbs 34-28. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>34. 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\">So this is unusual &#8211; a Eurovision Song Contest entry actually <em>climbing<\/em> from the lower reaches. It&#8217;s very good, too. If you&#8217;re wondering what the stage performance would have been, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1HU7ocv3S2o\">here&#8217;s how they did it in Iceland<\/a> (it&#8217;s basically the same as the video, though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>36. Surf Mesa featuring Emilee &#8211; &#8220;ily (I Love You Baby)&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/89degLrNZM8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More of a fragment than anything else, but it&#8217;s basically a Soundcloud dance record looping a cover of the chorus of &#8220;Can&#8217;t Take My Eyes Off You&#8221; &#8211; originally by Frankie Valli &amp; The Four Seasons. That wasn&#8217;t a hit in the UK, but four other versions of the song have charted before &#8211; Andy Williams in 1968 (number 5), the Boystown Gang in 1982 (number 6), the Pet Shop Boys as a medley with a cover of U2&#8217;s &#8220;Where The Streets Have No Name&#8221; in 1991 (number 4, and yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jt2j79pca7c\">that&#8217;s a real record<\/a>, though most of it is U2), and Andy Williams again in a duet with Denise Van Outen in 2002 (number 23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>39. Niko B &#8211; &#8220;Who&#8217;s That What&#8217;s That&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mGjg_MMMhRU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Niko B is a teenager who had a minor viral hit with &#8220;Mary Berry&#8221; under the name &#8220;Niko Bellic&#8221; last year. The label&#8217;s not paying to licence that, so he&#8217;s Niko B now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the album chart: number 1 is <strong>&#8220;Notes on a Conditional Form&#8221; by the 1975.<\/strong> The single &#8220;If You&#8217;re Too Shy (Let Me Know)&#8221; reached number 14. It&#8217;s their fourth album, all of which have gone to number 1. <strong>KSI&#8217;s &#8220;Dissimulation&#8221; <\/strong>is number 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Gunna &#8211; &#8220;Wunna&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o_smxk-P5p4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gunna&#8217;s previous album &#8220;Drip or Drown 2&#8221; reached number 24 last year, so a big improvement here. He&#8217;s not making any impact on the singles chart, though &#8211; his only singles chart appearance remains &#8220;Drip Too Hard&#8221; with Lil Baby, which reached number 28 in autumn 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7.

The video above is very Korean indeed (and quite good, as best as I can judge). I wonder if this plays to Korean audiences in the same way that a Morris dancing-themed video would in Britain. Probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>31.
