Rihanna &#8211; &#8220;Lift Me Up&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mx_OexsUI2M\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Huh. And there was me thinking that a new Rihanna single was bound to be challenging for number one. She hasn&#8217;t had a single out, even as a guest vocalist, since 2020 (when she appeared on a PartyNextDoor single that got to number 12). She hasn&#8217;t released a single of her own since 2016. So you&#8217;d think this would be a bigger deal. I mean, number 3 is quite a big deal. But bigger.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>One factor may be that it&#8217;s not the lead single from a new Rihanna album &#8211; it&#8217;s a contribution to the soundtrack of\u00a0<em>Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.<\/em> And the other may be that it&#8217;s a rather schmaltzy ballad, which isn&#8217;t necessarily what people are looking for from Rihanna. Her performance is great, the song itself seems to get stuck in a loop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17.

Well done. The song doesn&#8217;t exactly go anywhere but it&#8217;s weirdly compelling all the same. SZA&#8217;s chart positions are wildly inconsistent, but this is one of her better placings for solo material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>32.

It&#8217;s something of a surprise, since the two previous volumes of &#8220;Actual Life&#8221; didn&#8217;t make the top 100.
