Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion &#8211; &#8220;WAP&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two weeks at number one,  with a very comfortable lead. It&#8217;s going to be here a while. Below, a long list of mostly-small climbers&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Number 2 is <strong>&#8220;Mood&#8221; by 24KGoldn featuring Iann Dior<\/strong>, climbing from 4 &#8211; 24KGoldn&#8217;s other current single, guesting on <strong>&#8220;Tick Tock&#8221; by Clean Bandit &amp; Mabel<\/strong>, climbs 20-14, thus beating the peak of Clean Bandit&#8217;s last single (by one place). <strong>&#8220;Ain&#8217;t It Different&#8221; by Headie One featuring AJ Tracey &amp; Stormzy <\/strong>climbs 5-3. <strong>&#8220;Mood Swings&#8221; by Pop Smoke featuring Lil Tjay<\/strong>, which has been hovering in the top 10 for several weeks now, reaches a new peak of 5. <strong>&#8220;Looking for Me&#8221; by Paul Woolford &amp; Diplo featuring Kareen Lomax<\/strong> climbs 12-8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Midnight Sky&#8221; by Miley Cyrus<\/strong>, which entered at 15 three weeks ago and has been hovering since then, suddenly bounces up to 10. She&#8217;s appeared on several top ten collaborations since then, but this is her first top ten <em>solo<\/em> hit since &#8220;Wrecking Ball&#8221; back in 2013 (and deservedly so). <strong>&#8220;Take You Dancing&#8221; by Jason Derulo<\/strong> climbs 15-11. <strong>&#8220;You Broke Me First&#8221; by Tate McRae <\/strong>continues to march up the chart, jumping 22-13. <strong>&#8220;Holiday&#8221; by Little Mix<\/strong>, which entered at 17 six week ago, finally makes it to&#8230; 15. <strong>&#8220;Heather&#8221; by Conan Gray<\/strong> climbs 23-17. <strong>&#8220;Fake Friends&#8221; by PS1 featuring Alex Hosking<\/strong> climbs to 19 and finally reaches the top 20 in its ninth week on chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20. DJ Khaled featuring Drake &#8211; &#8220;Popstar&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3CxtK7-XtE0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>I normally skip over re-entries, unless they&#8217;re reaching a new peak &#8211; but this has rebounded from 71 so it seems worth a mention. It&#8217;s due to the release of the video, which is an unusual example of the pandemic era. The conceit is that Drake can&#8217;t get into the US to film the video, so he&#8217;s got Justin Bieber &#8211; who is not on the record &#8211; to do it for him. I mean, it doesn&#8217;t make any sense &#8211; there&#8217;s nothing in the video that Drake couldn&#8217;t have filmed in Canada &#8211; but it&#8217;s a cute gimmick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>22. Dermot Kennedy &#8211; &#8220;Giants&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xxLXfiNvbfk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably best known for last year&#8217;s top ten hit &#8220;Outnumbered&#8221;. Pleasant enough folk\/anthem MOR, and at least a change of pace on the singles chart, which could use a bit more range of genres on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>27. Sigala featuring James Arthur &#8211; &#8220;Lasting Lover&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5zkna6CFjHw\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure the slightly slurred vocals of James Arthur are the best fit for Sigala&#8217;s hyper-clean dance music. That aside, it&#8217;s a forgettable dance\/pop track. It doesn&#8217;t help that it commits the cardinal sin of sampling the hook of a vastly better record, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whosampled.com\/sample\/773975\/Sigala-James-Arthur-Lasting-Lover-MGMT-Time-to-Pretend\/\">MGMT&#8217;s &#8220;Time to Pretend&#8221;<\/a> (number 35 in 2008). It credits a remarkable eight songwriters, including both members of MGMT and Lewis Capaldi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Hallucinate&#8221; by Dua Lipa <\/strong>climbs 37-33, as it seems to be gaining momentum after all, despite being seemingly cut off by the release of &#8220;Levitating&#8221;. In the end, that track never got past 39.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>36. Internet Money featuring Don Toliver, Gunna &amp; Nav &#8211; &#8220;Lemonade&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0opZqh_TprM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Internet Money isn&#8217;t an artist so much as a record label and producer collective, centred around a guy called Taz Taylor. This track is from the ever-popular &#8220;melodic rap with heavy autotune&#8221; genre. Don Toliver gets a second hit, having previously managed a week at number 39 last year with &#8220;No Idea&#8221;. Gunna&#8217;s had several bigger hits than this, and NAV gets his debut hit single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>37. Bring Me The Horizon featuring Yungblud &#8211; &#8220;Obey&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AolstL1_MhE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Well we don&#8217;t get much of <em>this<\/em> in the singles cart, do we? Debut hit for Yungblud, but Bring Me The Horizon did have &#8220;Parasite Eve&#8221; spend a week at 28 earlier in the year, so clearly they have some fanbase support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over on the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. The Rolling Stones &#8211; &#8220;Goats Head Soup&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GlSbQNHHy50\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>It says something about the health of the albums market that a reissue of a Rolling Stones album from 1973 can reach number one &#8211; albeit by a slim margin of 800 copies. Still, this means the Rolling Stones are the first band to have a number one album in six different decades. Technically they also now have thirteen number one albums, which puts them level with Elvis Presley and Robbie Williams, but there&#8217;s a big asterisk next to that since it involves counting both &#8220;Exile On Main Street&#8221; and &#8220;Goats Head Soup&#8221; twice. That&#8217;s in line with normal chart practice, which regards a re-issue with a different catalogue number as a separate record&#8230; but it&#8217;s an asterisk nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Declan McKenna &#8211; &#8220;Zeros&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/12pLdx2ITws\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Declan McKenna&#8217;s first album came out three years ago when he was still a teenager, and reached number 11. He&#8217;s taken his time over the follow up but it&#8217;s done pretty well for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. Billy Ocean &#8211; &#8220;One World&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8RzxBrJ-x98\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Billy Ocean is 70 and this is his first new album in seven years. The title track above is exactly what you&#8217;re expecting lyrically &#8211; it&#8217;s called &#8220;One World&#8221;, of <em>course <\/em>it&#8217;s a generic plea for unity &#8211; but musically it&#8217;s a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>21. Hurts &#8211; &#8220;Faith&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Jq_kjsD4BE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Exactly the same position as their previous album from three years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>24. Big Sean &#8211; &#8220;Detroit 2&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H2Po5uiZMco\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those names best known in the UK for a string of guest appearances on mid-table hits. Not that the single above is exactly a radio anthem &#8211; it&#8217;s much more interesting than I was expecting, to be honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, number 27 is <strong>&#8220;Tattletales&#8221; by 6ix9ine<\/strong>, which produced a couple of hit singles earlier in the year &#8211; &#8220;Gooba&#8221; and &#8220;Trollz&#8221;. This is actually three places higher than his debut album &#8220;Dummy Boy&#8221; from 2018 &#8211; he&#8217;s a singles artist, which is, shall we say, probably the most flattering length at which to experience his work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s quiet week on both charts, but let&#8217;s see what we&#8217;ve got. 1.
