It&#8217;s not on course for a fourth (not least because its manual reset to be treated as a new release lapses after three consecutive weeks of declining sales, and that&#8217;s going to happen next week).<\/p>\n<p>For our highest new entry we have to go all the way down to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>30.

The first two of those tracks are at 8 and 14 this week, but &#8220;Falling Back&#8221; &#8211; the official single, mind you &#8211; plummets and &#8220;Sticky&#8221; takes its place in the top 30. Apparently, it\u00a0<em>is<\/em> a legit new entry to the top 40 rather than an artefact of the chart rules &#8211; it would have missed the top 40 last week even if it hadn&#8217;t been barred by the three-song rule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>35. Doja Cat &#8211; &#8220;Vegas&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QZp2biJul1c\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>From the soundtrack of\u00a0<em>Elvis<\/em>. The sample is a re-creation of Big Mama Thornton&#8217;s version of &#8220;Hound Dog&#8221; (the original). . I think it might actually be a re-enactment, but either way, it&#8217;s the Thornton version being referenced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>40. Bru-C &#8211; &#8220;No Excuses&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OvureZfa7AI\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Debut hit. Apparently this guy is in the orbit of the Bad Boy Chiller Crew. So, yes, he&#8217;s British, and still went with Bru-C as a name. It&#8217;s a perfectly okay dance record, though.<\/p>\n<p>And, er, that&#8217;s it. There are a couple of re-entries prompted by coverage of Glastonbury, but we&#8217;ll cover them in the climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Afraid to Feel&#8221; by LF System<\/strong> climbs 3-2, and looks to be on course to be the next number one. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EPVdGy9SBHI\">It now has a (fairly underwhelming) video.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Break My Soul&#8221; by Beyonc\u00e9\u00a0<\/strong>climbs 21-4 in its second week on release.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Crazy What Love Can Do&#8221; by David Guetta, Becky Hill &amp; Ella Henderson<\/strong> finally makes it to number 11, in its twelfth week in the top 20. It reached 12 two weeks ago.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Glimpse of Us&#8221; by Joji<\/strong> climbs 14-12.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;21 Reason&#8221; by Nathan Dawe featuring Ella Henderson<\/strong> climbs 15-13.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Seventeen Going Under&#8221; by Sam Fender<\/strong> re-enters at 20 thanks to Glastonbury. It peaked at 3 in January and it&#8217;s never dropped out of the top 60. The album of the same name re-enters at 19, and &#8220;Hypersonic Missiles&#8221; re-enters at 33.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;I Ain&#8217;t Worried&#8221; by OneRepublic<\/strong> climbs 31-24.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Stay the Night&#8221; by Sigala &amp; Talia Mar<\/strong> climbs 28-25.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Happier Than Ever&#8221; by Billie Eilish<\/strong> re-enters at 31, again thanks to Glastonbury. It reached number 4 on release last year and dropped out of the top 40 in November. The album of (again) the same name rebounds to number 10, though it had already re-entered the top 40 a few weeks ago, &#8220;When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go&#8221; re-enters at 25, and &#8220;Don&#8217;t Smile at Me&#8221; at 81.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So that&#8217;s three new entries and two re-entries. The tracks making way for them are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Forget My Love&#8221; by Diplo &amp; Miguel, <\/strong>which spend six weeks in the top 40 without ever getting above number 35.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;In the Stars&#8221; by Benson Boone<\/strong>, which entered at 21 in May and took eight weeks to slide down the chart.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Where Are You Now&#8221; by Lost Frequencies &amp; Calum Scott<\/strong>, a huge hit which spent 12 weeks in the top 10 and peaked at 3.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Cooped Up&#8221; by Post Malone featuring Roddy Ricch<\/strong>, which peaked at 18.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Falling Back&#8221; by Drake<\/strong>, dropping straight out from 10 after one week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Harry&#8217;s House&#8221; by Harry Styles<\/strong> spends its fourth week at number one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Porcupine Tree &#8211; &#8220;Closure \/ Continuation&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_8yjtkTitsA\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ve seen subtler videos. Anyway, this is the first album released by Porcupine Tree as a band since 2009. Their previous peak was number 23, but since then, singer Steven Wilson has had two top 5 albums, so it&#8217;s no surprise that the band is now matching that performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Chris Brown &#8211; &#8220;Breezy&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hLpAZ8_BZS4\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one place above 2019&#8217;s &#8220;Indigo&#8221;, and his highest album chart position since 2014. He released a mixtape with Young Thug in 2020, but that didn&#8217;t make the top 40. Make of that what you will. This is the first Chris Brown studio album to produce no hit singles, which I certainly won&#8217;t be losing any sleep over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Conan Gray &#8211; &#8220;Superache&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9cMPFEEuh0g\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Follow-up to 2020&#8217;s &#8220;Kid Krow&#8221;, which only got to 30. That album produced a hit single &#8211; &#8220;Heather&#8221;, which scraped the top 20 &#8211; but no such luck this time round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Luke Combs &#8211; &#8220;Growin&#8217; Up&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x8Mc8Pbl06g\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Country music doesn&#8217;t often get this far up the UK album chart. It&#8217;s his third album, the second to chart. Its predecessor only got to number 27, so this is a big step up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. Giveon &#8211; &#8220;Give or Take&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IE3j9Iq24yM\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Debut album.
