But first&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b1kbLwvqugk\"><strong>1. Taylor Swift &#8211; &#8220;Anti-Hero&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s three weeks, which is her longest run at number 1. Her only previous number 1 single is 2017&#8217;s &#8220;Look What You Made Me Do&#8221;, which lasted two weeks. (Yes, really. Forty-three top 40 hits, and that&#8217;s the only other one that made number one.)<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I4DjHHVHWAE\">3. Drake &amp; 21 Savage &#8211; &#8220;Rich Flex&#8221;<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LfPYX03_4rA\">5. Drake &amp; 21 Savage &#8211; &#8220;Major Distribution&#8221;<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jxILuhLm6hs\">7. Drake &amp; 21 Savage &#8211; &#8220;Circo Loco&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I4DjHHVHWAE\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the maximum three tracks from their album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Her Loss&#8221;<\/strong>, which enters the album chart at 1. It&#8217;s Drake&#8217;s second album of the year, after &#8220;Honestly Nevermind&#8221;, which reached number 2 in June. That got three singles into the top 10 as well, but the highest got to number 7, and that one had&#8230; er, 21 Savage on it. Drake now has a total of 37 top 10 hits, thanks in part to album tracks, and this is his fifth number 1 album.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>21 Savage is the less well known name here &#8211; he&#8217;s had five top ten hits, but four of them are with Drake and the other was with Post Malone. His singles chart peak for a track where he was the lead artist is number 28 (which was a track with Drake guesting, but he&#8217;s also got a completely solo track to number 29). That said, his previous album &#8220;Savage Mode II&#8221; reached the top 10, a big step up from his previous albums landing outside the top 30. So he was on the rise anyway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Her Loss&#8221; is&#8230; fairly predictable? The three tracks that make the top 40 are a slightly unusual bunch, because the one with an actual video is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WlaGHS_qs58\">&#8220;Privileged Rappers&#8221;<\/a>, which doesn&#8217;t make it. &#8220;Rich Flex&#8221; and &#8220;Major Distribution&#8221; are the opening two tracks, so it might just be a case of a lot of album plays. &#8220;Circo Loco&#8221; has a Daft Punk sample, which might get it a few more replays.<\/p>\n<p>For what it&#8217;s worth, the midweeks have &#8220;Rich Flex&#8221; hanging in the top 10, and the other two dropping to 20 and 23.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody is releasing new singles against a Drake album, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>33. Fredo &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m Back&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L_BV27L2a5k\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is his first single in over a year, since 2021&#8217;s &#8220;Independence Day&#8221; album. That got three tracks into the top 40, but none of them placed above 34; we&#8217;re in the same territory here. It&#8217;s a very good track, though. That doesn&#8217;t stop it dropping to 68 in the midweeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39. Joji &#8211; &#8220;Die For You&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kIEWJ1ljEro\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A second single from his album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Smithereens&#8221;<\/strong>, which enters at number 13 &#8211; that&#8217;s actually down from its 2020 predecessor &#8220;Nectar&#8221;, which got to 6. You&#8217;d have thought that having an actual hit with &#8220;Glimpse of Us&#8221; would have improved the performance of the album. That track re-enters this week at number 31. I&#8217;m not sure this song is as strong, but it does have another very good montage video. At any rate, it won&#8217;t be sticking around.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Miss You&#8221; by Oliver Tree &amp; Robin Schulz<\/strong> climbs 5-4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Made You Look&#8221; by Meghan Trainor<\/strong> climbs 14-8. Look, she tried doing other stuff. You wanted this. And now she&#8217;s back in the top 10 for the first time since 2015.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Messy in Heaven&#8221; by vebnee &amp; goddard<\/strong> climbs 11-9, and quite right too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Warm&#8221; by K-Trap<\/strong> re-enters at 18, which is because a remix with Skepta was released. It&#8217;s not officially the lead version, though, so the chart is still just crediting K-Trap as before. It matches his previous peak, as a guest on a Krept &amp; Konan since in 2019.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Kiss Me&#8221; by Dermot Kennedy<\/strong> climbs 28-25.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Lionheart (Fearless)&#8221; by Joel Corry &amp; Tom Grennan<\/strong> climbs 33-30.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are five new entries plus the re-entries for K-Trap and Joji. The seven tracks making way for them are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Afraid to Feel&#8221; by LF System<\/strong>, which had eight weeks at number 1. As of now, they remain a one-hit wonder.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Big City Life&#8221; by Luude &amp; Mattafix<\/strong>, which had five weeks in the top 10, even though it never got above 8.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Super Freaky Girl&#8221; by Nicki Minaj<\/strong>, which peaked at 5 and had 13 weeks in the top 40 &#8211; her biggest hit in a while.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Hold Me Closer&#8221; by Elton John &amp; Britney Spears<\/strong>, which entered at number 3 before dawdling around the top 20 for a while.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Ghostbusters&#8221; by Ray Parker Jr<\/strong> naturally vanishes after a week at number 32, as does\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Monster Mash&#8221; by Bobby Boris Pickett<\/strong> after a week at 38.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;In My Head&#8221; by Juice WRLD<\/strong> drops straight out of the top 100 after a single week at 40.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart, Drake and 21 Savage are at number\u00a0\u00a01 (with Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Midnights&#8221; dropping to 2).<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. First Aid Kit &#8211; &#8220;Palomino&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/APMqAFAU5hw\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the Swedish folk duo&#8217;s fifth studio album; its predecessor, 2018&#8217;s &#8220;Ruins&#8221;, also made number 3. The core of the band is sister Klara and Johanna S\u00f6derberg; everyone else has been replaced since the last album. The title track is very pleasant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Luke Evans &#8211; &#8220;A Song For You&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xHAODaaTDK4\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the second album by actor Luke Evans, who does have a background in the West End. Its predecessor, 2019&#8217;s &#8220;At Last&#8221;, reached number 11. This is obviously timed for the middle aged Christmas market, by which standards a guest appearance by Charlotte Church is positively edgy.<\/p>\n<p>Number 13 is\u00a0the Joji album, and we move on to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>16. Daniel O&#8217;Donnell &#8211; &#8220;I Wish You Well&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rmqs1it_0L8\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The 42nd top 40 album for the indestructible Irish MOR veteran. He&#8217;s been around since the mid 1980s. Number 16 is actually on the low side for Daniel O&#8217;Donnell &#8211; his last three albums all made the top 10. That&#8217;ll teach him to go up against Drake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>19.

It spent six weeks at number one on release in 1997. Every Prodigy album has gone to number 1 except for their 1992 debut &#8220;Experience&#8221; (which only got to number 12) and a live album from 2011. \u00a0This is the only one to last longer than a week, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>22.

Officially this is billed as their debut mixtape, which in this case appears to mean &#8220;basically an EP but scrapes onto the album chart&#8221; &#8211; it&#8217;s just under 20 minutes long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24.
