DaBaby featuring Roddy Ricch &#8211; &#8220;Rockstar&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four weeks in total. And below it&#8230; not much, really. <strong>&#8220;Breaking Me&#8221; by Topic featuring A7S <\/strong>climbs one more place to number 4. <strong>&#8220;Dinner Guest&#8221; by AJ Tracey featuring Mostack<\/strong>, which has been hovering between 8 and 10 for five weeks, reaches the dizzy heights of number 6. <strong>&#8220;Secrets&#8221; by Regard &amp; Raye<\/strong> climbs 18-12, and <strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Need Love&#8221; by 220 Kid &amp; Gracey<\/strong> moves one place to 13. <strong>&#8220;Watermelon Sugar&#8221; by Harry Styles<\/strong> is another one-place climber, now at 15. <strong>&#8220;This City&#8221; by Sam Fischer<\/strong>, which spent three weeks at number 19, climbs to 17. <strong>&#8220;Party Girl&#8221; by Staysolidrocky<\/strong> climbs 24-18. <strong>&#8220;ILY (I Love You Baby)&#8221; by Surf Mesa featuring Emilee<\/strong> climbs, you guessed it, one place to number 25. <strong>&#8220;Who&#8217;s That What&#8217;s That&#8221; by Niko B<\/strong> climbs 33-26, which is practically eventful by the standards of this week. And behold this week&#8217;s highest &#8211; and indeed lowest &#8211; new entry&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>40. Chris Brown &amp; Young Thug &#8211; &#8220;Go Crazy&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RhFR23coKCY\" 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\">And this is just a climber from number 44. Truly, it&#8217;s the dullest non-holiday chart I can remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album chart is a little more memorable. <strong>&#8220;Chromatica&#8221; by Lady Gaga<\/strong> spents a second week at number 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Sports Team &#8211; &#8220;Deep Down Happy&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uFdWhW0OHSo\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indie debut. Very, very indie, and very Oxbridge to boot. I liked the single, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Number 3 is <strong>&#8220;Wake Up Sunshine&#8221; by All Time Low<\/strong>, which reached number 28 on its digital release in April, but now re-enters following its release on &#8230; er, compact disc. Isn&#8217;t the album market healthy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>12. The Human League &#8211; &#8220;The Essential&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1M8a8ox_QeM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a Human League greatest hits album, obviously. They&#8217;ve had at least two before. The Human League&#8217;s biggest hit single in the UK was &#8220;Don&#8217;t You Want Me&#8221;, the Christmas number one of 1981, but that&#8217;s very obvious. So let&#8217;s go with &#8220;Love Action&#8221;, which got to number 3, and was the one that the Utah Saints sampled in &#8220;Believe in Me&#8221;. Its early-90s virtual reality video is, well, of its time, but the record is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TF367jjh8hk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>18. Run the Jewels &#8211; &#8220;RTJ4&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sff7Kc77QAY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first glance, I was surprised this didn&#8217;t do better, particularly in such a quiet week. But on checking, the previous album from 2017 only got to number 38, and they&#8217;ve never placed a track in the UK singles chart&#8230; so I guess the memory plays tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>22. Kidz Bop Kids &#8211; &#8220;Kidz Bop Party Playlist&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0_77bEDrXi0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another of these albums of children covering pop songs in sanitised form. This is the UK version of the franchise, and its chart record is weirdly erratic &#8211; three albums that placed at 7 or 8, three that placed between 22 and 26, and <em>they alternate<\/em>. How does that happen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This seems to be one of the albums where they&#8217;ve edited for language rather than sense, and so their YouTube page also includes a faithful cover version of Maroon 5&#8217;s &#8220;Memories&#8221; (which is about remembering a dead friend while drunk). Only a slightly less strange inclusion is the above cover of Little Mix&#8217;s &#8220;Wings&#8221;, a track which is now nearly eight years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The release schedule hasn&#8217;t completely ground to a halt during lockdown, but it&#8217;s certainly become more scattered.
