Ed Sheeran &#8211; &#8220;Shivers&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a second week for &#8220;Shivers&#8221;, but combined with the 11-week run of &#8220;Bad Habits&#8221; immediately before it, it means that he&#8217;s now been at number one for 13 weeks. That matches his own record from 2017, when he spent 13 weeks at number 1 with &#8220;Shape of You&#8221;. The next target for him is 15 weeks, which would match the run of Drake&#8217;s &#8220;One Dance&#8221; from 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Lil Nas X &#8211; &#8220;Thats What I Want&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QDYDRA5JPLE\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not a typo. There&#8217;s no apostrophe in the title. It&#8217;s the release week single from his album <strong>&#8220;Montero&#8221;<\/strong>, which enters at number 2. Officially &#8220;Montero&#8221; is meant to be his debut studio album, but his EP &#8220;7&#8221; reached number 23 in 2019, and that had &#8220;Old Town Road&#8221; and &#8220;Panini&#8221; on it, so it&#8217;s kind of hard to say it doesn&#8217;t count.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is a pretty straightforward three minute pop song (well, two minutes forty) with the now familiar conservative-baiting video. This one changes gear halfway through, though, which is probably a smart move to avoid the risk of being seen as one-note.<\/p>\n<p>On the back of the album release, &#8220;Montero (Call Me By Your Name)&#8221; re-enters at number 16, while the current single &#8220;Industry Baby&#8221; climbs 9-3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>25. Taylor Swift &#8211; &#8220;Wildest Dreams (Taylor&#8217;s Version)&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CUr_UwUUXzU\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another in the series of Taylor Swift&#8217;s re-recordings of her own older albums, so as to spike the value of the back catalogue that she doesn&#8217;t control. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IdneKLhsWOQ\">The original version of &#8220;Wildest Dreams&#8221;<\/a> was from her 2015 album &#8220;1989&#8221;. As a single, the original did well in many countries but flopped in the UK, where it only managed a week at number 40.<\/p>\n<p>This was a surprise release in every sense of the word, because although Taylor Swift does have a re-recorded album scheduled for release in November, it&#8217;s not &#8220;1989&#8221; &#8211; it&#8217;s &#8220;Red&#8221;, her album from 2012. This track appears to have been rush released after the original started being used on TikTok, though whether that&#8217;s to capitalise from it or to prevent the hated label from doing so is open to debate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>38. Justus Bennetts &#8211; &#8220;Bad Day&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KKhictgv1aM\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Gosh, that was a quiet week on the singles chart. This guy is from Seattle, and it&#8217;s his first UK hit.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers (aside from the ones I already mentioned):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Cold Heart&#8221; by Elton John &amp; Dua Lipa<\/strong> climbs 4-2. That&#8217;s her highest position since &#8220;Don&#8217;t Start Now&#8221; in 2019, and his highest since he got a credit for being sampled on 2Pac&#8217;s &#8220;Ghetto Gospel&#8221;, a number 1 hit in 2005.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Obsessed With You&#8221; by Central Cee<\/strong> climbs 5-4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Heat Waves&#8221; by Glass Animals<\/strong> climbs 8-7. This track has been out for nearly a year now, and it&#8217;s been in the top 75 without interruption since January.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah)&#8221; by CKay<\/strong> climbs 23-9. I\u00a0<em>think<\/em> that may be the highest position for a Nigerian single in the UK chart&#8230;? Wizkid and Burna Boy have both had number 1 singles, but only as guests on singles by British or North American artists.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;My Heart Goes (La Di Da)&#8221; by Becky Hill &amp; Topic<\/strong> climbs 24-20.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Meet Me At Our Spot&#8221; by the Anxiety\u00a0<\/strong>climbs 35-29. Or &#8220;the Anxiety and Willow and Tyler Cole&#8221;, as the official listing has it, but they\u00a0<em>are<\/em> the Anxiety, so.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;If You Really Love Me (How Will I Know)&#8221; by David Guetta x Mistajam x John Newman<\/strong> climbs 36-31 &#8211; it&#8217;s now spent four weeks in the 31-40 range, and it&#8217;s been out since July, but it seems to be (very slowly) gathering momentum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Better Days&#8221; by Dermot Kennedy<\/strong> climbs 40-35, which will come as a pleasant surprise to him after it seems to just scrape to 40 last week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Drake &#8211; &#8220;Certified Lover Boy&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Returning to number 1 for a second week after being interrupted last week by the Manic Street Preachers. They&#8217;re very much a week-one act at this point, and their album &#8220;The Ultra Vivid Lament&#8221; drops to 15.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Lil Nas X &#8211; &#8220;Montero&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve covered that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Tion Wayne &#8211; &#8220;Green With Envy&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Officially his first album. He&#8217;s released mixtapes before, but none of them made the album top 40. This includes the number 1 single &#8220;Body&#8221; from earlier in the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Bob Dylan &#8211; &#8220;The Bootleg Series vol. 16: Springtime in New York 1980-1985&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/di6wU11_4Wg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yet more completist-fodder from the Dylan archives, this time with material recorded between 1980 and 1985. It&#8217;s a box set collection of rehearsals and outtakes. Number 6 is precisely where the previous volume landed in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Genesis &#8211; &#8220;The Last Domino&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ccs2rt0oSzQ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a straightforward greatest hits album, released to promote their reunion (and presumably farewell) tour. &#8220;Mama&#8221; was their highest placed UK single, reaching number 4 in 1983.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.

He&#8217;s released numerous solo albums before, which didn&#8217;t chart in the UK. He did, however, have a number 5 album last year co-credited to Christine McVie &#8211; that was effectively a Fleetwood Mac album under another name, featuring all of the band except for Stevie Nicks. He <em>did<\/em> previous have a number 31 single in 1982, with &#8220;Trouble&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>40.

Currently there are 23 of them. The name stands for &#8220;Neo Culture Technology&#8221;. In practice, NCT is not so much a functioning band as a franchise umbrella within which various smaller bands are promoted, though a couple of albums have been released by NCT itself. NCT U simply consists of whichever roster members they feel like using on that particular record. NCT 127 is an actual group &#8211; &#8220;127&#8221; is the longitude of Seoul. There&#8217;s also an NCT Dream (who used to be teenagers, but aren&#8217;t any more), NCT Hollywood (who are going to be based in the US and formed by a reality TV show), and WayV (who are basically NCT China, but are a bit cautious with the branding, presumably for political reasons).
