I thought &#8220;Good Without&#8221; was a bit obvious; I like this more, though it&#8217;s very much a record for Heart FM. That said, we don&#8217;t get too much of this in the top 40 at the moment, which makes it a welcome part of the mix.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure I would have made a video of the sort of wedding that people aren&#8217;t legally allowed to have at the moment, but that&#8217;s just me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17.

Lorde had a number 1 hit in 2013 with &#8220;Royals&#8221; but has always struggled to follow it up in this country. She&#8217;s had only two top 40 hits since: &#8220;Team&#8221;, which reached number 29 the following year, and &#8220;Green Light&#8221;, which got to 20 in 2017. This is the lead single from her upcoming third album, given a surprise release to coincide with, um, a solar eclipse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18.

In different versions, this has been number one three times now, and it\u00a0<em>is<\/em> a good record on its own terms &#8211; it&#8217;s not just a terrace chant, it&#8217;s a proper song about the experience of being a fan of a team that never wins. (Though I&#8217;ve always had a soft spot for Scotland&#8217;s 1998 World Cup effort, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2T68AXsUAEI\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t Come Home Too Soon&#8221; by Del Amitri,<\/a>\u00a0for its, um, bracingly realistic assessment of the team&#8217;s chances.

This is the lead single from her fourth studio album, and yes, that&#8217;s the drummer from Blink-182 given a featured artist credit (his first solo listing in the UK top 40, for what that&#8217;s worth). Looks like we&#8217;re seeing something of a resurgence of rock influences in mainstream pop. This is not Willow&#8217;s first hit &#8211; she got to number 2 in 2010 as a child artist with &#8220;Whip My Hair&#8221;. You can do that when you&#8217;re Will Smith&#8217;s daughter. She&#8217;s released records since then but to no real interest; but she&#8217;s still only twenty, and this is effectively a fresh start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37.
