Oh well. This has been out for months, but it finally charts after showing up in Netflix&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Top Boy<\/em>. It&#8217;s a track from Potter Payper&#8217;s 2021 album &#8220;Thanks for Waiting&#8221;, which reached the top 10. His 2020 album &#8220;Training Day 3&#8221; made the top 5, too. But this is the first time he&#8217;s appeared in the top 40 singles; his previous best was a freestyle that got to number 41 in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>34. Sigala &#8211; &#8220;Melody&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1SJSfaa4Owo\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This single has been struggling &#8211; it came out at the start of February, and it&#8217;s been hovering in the 40s for five weeks before making it into the chart. It&#8217;s been a couple of years now since Sigala had a top 10 hit. I can&#8217;t see this passable Europop changing that. Nice colourful video, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>36. Tate McRae &#8211; &#8220;Chaotic&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t6B6nS5ljzU\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is a promotional single, which means it gets a really cheap video. Officially, it&#8217;s a visualiser. Her\u00a0<em>proper<\/em> current single, &#8220;She&#8217;s All I Wanna Be&#8221;, climbs 21-16, which seems like a pretty good sign for when her album comes out next month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. Vibe Chemistry &#8211; &#8220;Balling&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mdnHrnxuUfs\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s a drum and bass producer, and it&#8217;s his first hit single. For some reason, the rappers &#8211; Songer, Traumatik, Devilman and Oneda &#8211; get a credit on the video, but not on the chart.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Go&#8221; by Cat Burns<\/strong> climbs 8-6.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Bam Bam&#8221; by Camila Cabello featuring Ed Sheeran<\/strong> climbs 16-10. That&#8217;s her fifth top 10 hit, and his, um, thirty-seventh. The last chart\u00a0<em>not<\/em> to feature an Ed Sheeran song in the top 10 was for the week ending 2 July 2021.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Motto&#8221; by Tiesto &amp; Ava Max<\/strong> climbs 13-12. That overtakes &#8220;So Am I&#8221; to become her second biggest hit, following her 2018 number one &#8220;Sweet But Psycho&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Glad U Came&#8221; by Liilz featuring ZieZie<\/strong> climbs 17-15.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;She&#8217;s All I Wanna Be&#8221; by Tate McRae<\/strong>\u00a0climbs 21-16.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;What Would You Do&#8221; by Joel Corry, David Guetta &amp; Bryson Tiller<\/strong> climbs 31-21.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Run&#8221; by Becky Hill &amp; Galantis<\/strong> climbs 25-23.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just four new entries this week; the records leaving the chart are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Overseas&#8221; by D-Block Europe featuring Central Cee<\/strong>, which drops straight from 11, so it must have been hit by the downweighting rule. It peaked at number 6 and spent 12 weeks in the top 10.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;War&#8221; by Arrdee &amp; Aitch<\/strong>, which entered at number 6 and managed 8 weeks in the chart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Oh My God&#8221; by Adele<\/strong> &#8211; again, presumably hit by downweighting, because it drops from 26 all the way to 77. It peaked at number 2 at the end of November.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Pump 101&#8221; by Digga D &amp; Still Brickin&#8217;<\/strong>, which spent nine weeks the top 40, peaking at nine. It seems to have dropped from 35 straight out of the top 100, which is weird, as it hasn&#8217;t been out long enough to be hit by downweighting. Not sure what&#8217;s gone on there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Michael Bubl\u00e9 &#8211; &#8220;Higher&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lR_x0GH5c30\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>No surprise there &#8211; four of his previous five albums were number ones, and the other one got to number 2. \u00a0What\u00a0<em>is<\/em> a surprise is that the video for the title track above is actually worth a play. It&#8217;s not what I expected from a Michael Bubl\u00e9 single at all, and while the first verse isn&#8217;t great, it gets quite good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Machine Gun Kelly &#8211; &#8220;Mainstream Sellout&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s his highest position, beating 2020&#8217;s &#8220;Tickets to my Downfall&#8221; by one place. One of the singles, &#8220;Maybe&#8221;, is currently on the singles chart at number 39 (for the second week).<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Placebo &#8211; &#8220;Never Let Me Go&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JXztyFxFx0o\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the first Placebo album since 2016&#8217;s &#8220;A Place For Us To Dream&#8221;, which only got to number 21 &#8211; so a break has apparently helped. In fact, this is the highest position they&#8217;ve ever had; their previous best was their self-titled debut in 1996, which got to number 5. Of course, the usual disclaimers apply about legacy acts doing disproportionately well on the declining album chart. They&#8217;re now down to a duo; the drummer quit after recording the last album.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. The Foo Fighters &#8211; &#8220;Greatest Hits&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xQ04WbgI9rg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this is back because of the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins. The album came out in 2009 and reached number 4 at the time; I assume it&#8217;s here because people are hammering it as a Spotify playlist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Matt Goss &#8211; &#8220;The Beautiful Unknown&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/95h3f8zJ9Oc\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is Matt Goss&#8217;s fifth solo album, though it&#8217;s been nine years since the last one, &#8220;Life You Imagine&#8221; &#8211; which was the only one to make the top 40, and even that only got to number 27. This seems to have started as a lockdown project, and quite what it&#8217;s doing in the top 10, I&#8217;m not entirely sure. Somewhat bizarrely, the opening of Goss&#8217;s Wikipedia entry offers basically two facts to establish his notability: he was in Bros, and he &#8220;wrote the theme song to\u00a0<em>So You Think You Can Dance<\/em>, produced by Nigel Lithgow&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.

She had a number 21 hit single in 2020 as a guest on J Hus&#8217;s &#8220;Repeat&#8221;. I liked this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. Blade Brown &amp; K-Trap &#8211; &#8220;Joints&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p5hcHzg8hZc\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>UK rap mixtape. Blade Brown had a number 12 album in 2019, &#8220;Bags &amp; Boxes 4&#8221;, but he&#8217;s never had a hit single. K-Trap&#8217;s making his first appearance on either chart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>27.
