I&#8217;m not sure anyone ever listened to a BTS record and thought &#8220;If only they were doing a Coldplay song&#8221;, but here it is. It&#8217;s the second single from the next Coldplay album and very much Coldplay&#8217;s record; the all-purpose upliftingness is a reasonable fit for BTS, to be fair, but it&#8217;s still just kind of what you expect from the big single for a Coldplay album, just with bits of it in Korean.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the highest position for a Coldplay single since &#8220;Something Just Like This&#8221; reached number 2 in 2017 &#8211; which, come to think of it, was a similarly unlikely collaboration with the Chainsmokers. For BTS, it equals their all-time peak reached with &#8220;Butter&#8221; and &#8220;Dynamite&#8221;, and becomes their fourth top ten hit in just over a year. If nothing else, BTS have quite clearly now crossed over to become a regular feature of the singles chart, not just a cult act who make fleeting appearances through first-week fan sales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>23. SHOUSE &#8211; &#8220;Love Tonight&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-d72XNa4yIM\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>SHOUSE are an Australia \/ New Zealand duo, making their first appearance on the chart. This is a four-year-old track which has suddenly picked up traction on, you guessed it, TikTok. Yes, that&#8217;s a choir on the record &#8211; apparently it&#8217;s a mixture of amateurs and some musical types from Melbourne. Once again, TikTok has hit on an obscure record that&#8217;s actually good.<\/p>\n<p>The video above is a re-edit which has been put together for the track&#8217;s current surge of popularity; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=awT8XJTMZdQ\">the original video from 2017 is pretty much a home video consisting of the raw footage of the choir<\/a>. The 2021 video editor is working overtime to make it look more professional.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230; that&#8217;s it. That&#8217;s your new entries for this week.

Wigan&#8217;s not exactly famous as a hotbed of music, but it\u00a0<em>did<\/em> produce the Verve, and if you&#8217;re going to have one famous local band, you could do a lot worse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

But we&#8217;re four albums in and they&#8217;re understandably diversifying now. This is a concept album about Berlin, lighter on the samples, heavier on the guest singers. It&#8217;s their highest placed album to date, beating the number 4 peak of its predecessor &#8220;Every Valley&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10.

It&#8217;s their sixth album, following a seven year hiatus. They had some success in the UK with their first two albums in 2006-7 &#8211; their debut got to number 6 and they even got a single into the top 20 &#8211; but we haven&#8217;t heard from them since then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.

They&#8217;re a rock act, if you hadn&#8217;t guessed from the title (oh, and the label is called Spinefarm). They&#8217;re an anonymous masked group who claim to worship the ancient deity Sleep which, apparently, appeared to their lead singer Vessel in a dream. Alright then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>40.
