The parent album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Harry&#8217;s House&#8221;<\/strong> is of course number 1 on the album chart; that&#8217;s his second number 1. His 2017 self-titled debut did spent a week at number 1, and hung around the top 10 for three weeks, but it was out of the top 40 after 15 weeks &#8211; a decent size hit but not Ed Sheeran territory. Its follow up &#8220;Fine Line&#8221;, from 2019, is another matter &#8211; although it entered at 3 and never got above number 2, it spent 62 weeks in the top 10, and 126 in the top 40.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Even in this day and age, it&#8217;s unusual for a new album to sweep the top three. Only Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber have done it before, and that was in 2016\/7. So that&#8217;s the territory we&#8217;re in here. Oh, and &#8220;As It Was&#8221; spends an eighth week at number 1. That overtakes &#8220;We Don&#8217;t Talk About Bruno&#8221;, so it&#8217;s now the longest running number one since &#8220;Bad Habits&#8221; by Ed Sheeran, which managed 11 weeks last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>20. Nathan Dawe featuring Ella Henderson &#8211; &#8220;21 Reasons&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gV6KNVii7XQ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Didn&#8217;t I only just do another song sampling &#8220;Destination Calabria&#8221;&#8230;? Ah yes &#8211; &#8220;Je m&#8217;Appelle&#8221; by Benzz, which entered at number 34 two weeks ago. It climbs to number 24 this week, so apparently this is the hot sample of the moment. Weird.<\/p>\n<p>Ella Henderson now has two concurrent hits; &#8220;Crazy What Love Can Do&#8221;, with David Guetta and Becky Hill, climbs to 14 this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>23. Aitch &#8211; &#8220;1989&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3GWw2p_X6Lg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yes, that&#8217;s &#8220;Fool&#8217;s Gold&#8221; by the Stone Roses being sampled. 1989 is the year of release of that song &#8211; Aitch wasn&#8217;t born for another ten years. His previous single &#8220;Baby&#8221; is still hanging around at 30.<\/p>\n<p><strong>32. N-Dubz &#8211; &#8220;Charmer&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2wO3Ga_qLr4\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Apparently there really is interest in an N-Dubz reunion. This comeback single is their first appearance in the top 40 since they guested on a Loick Essien single in 2011; the final proper N-Dubz hit isngle was &#8220;Girls&#8221;, which reached number 18 in 2010. Their greatest hits album, which re-entered the album chart at number 38 last week, actually climbs to 10 &#8211; and\u00a0<em>nothing<\/em> climbs in the album chart. There&#8217;s a generation out there who have real affection for these guys. The single&#8217;s&#8230; not bad, actually. It&#8217;s certainly not just going for the nostalgia market.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;IFTK&#8221; by Tion Wayne &amp; La Roux<\/strong> climbs 16-8, giving Tion Wayne his sixth top 10 hit<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;2Step&#8221; by Ed Sheeran\u00a0<\/strong>reaches a new peak of 11; it entered at 13 four weeks ago and it&#8217;s been hovering between 12 and 15 since then.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Crazy What Love Can Do&#8221; by David Guetta, Becky Hill &amp; Ella Henderson<\/strong> reaches 14, two weeks after it got to 15. It&#8217;s another record hovering in a very narrow space, having spent the previous six weeks between 15 and 20.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Green Green Grass&#8221; by George<\/strong> <strong>Ezra<\/strong> climbs 22-16.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Je M&#8217;Appelle&#8221; by Benzz<\/strong> climbs 26-24.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Remind Me&#8221; by Tom Grennan<\/strong> climbs 40-33.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are five new entries this week, plus a couple of re-entries hovering around the 40 mark. The seven records dropping out of the top 40 this week are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Churchill Downs&#8221; by Jack Harlow featuring Drake<\/strong>, which reached 19 two weeks ago on the release of the parent album.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;BMW&#8221; by the Bad Boy Chiller Crew<\/strong>, which peaked at 7 and spent three weeks in the top 10.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Black Beatles&#8221; by D-Block Europe<\/strong>, which only managed a week at number 35. I can never figure out why some of their records hang around for ever and some vanish after a week, when they&#8217;re all much of a muchness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Gangsteritus&#8221; by Potter Payper &amp; Tiggs Da Author<\/strong>, which had eight weeks in the top 40, peaking at 12.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Stefania&#8221; by Kalush<\/strong>, the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, which had a week at 38.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;United in Grief&#8221; by Kendrick Lamar<\/strong>, which reached number 14 as an album spillover.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Foundations of Decay&#8221; by My Chemical Romance<\/strong>, which got a week at number 37 and plunges straight out of the top 100.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Harry&#8217;s House&#8221; by Harry Styles<\/strong> is number 1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.

There was a high concept here of feeding a bunch of material into an AI bot and asking it to produce lyrics. Only about 5% of the album actually came from that route, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. M Huncho &#8211; &#8220;Chasing Euphoria&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_cd249MDLzQ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Officially his debut album, though he&#8217;s had two previous mixtapes chart at 13 and 5 respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. xPropaganda &#8211; &#8220;The Heart is Strange&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LebVh0k0cjg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>xPropaganda are the two singers from the 80s German synthpop band Propaganda. Their 1985 album &#8220;A Secret Wish&#8221; reached number 15 and spawned a few hit singles. They only released one further album before splitting, which didn&#8217;t chart in the UK. I quite like this single.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.

So you can hear that Stock Aitken Waterman production clearer than ever. It was a number 1 album on release in 1987, and in the top 10 albums of that year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.
