It was still hanging around the fringes of the top 40 anyway &#8211; it&#8217;s actually a climber from 34 &#8211; but there&#8217;s no apparent reason for it to be here beyond the Brit Awards. Particularly since a lot of its chart points are coming from views of the video above. I&#8217;m not sure why, since I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s an especially great live performance&#8230; but there you go.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>18. Linkin Park &#8211; &#8220;Lost&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7NK_JOkuSVY\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Linkin Park haven&#8217;t released any music since their frontman Chester Bennington died in 2017, although they&#8217;ve never formally split. This is a previously unreleased track included on the 20th anniversary edition of their second album &#8220;Meteora.&#8221; Considering that it&#8217;s been in a vault for twenty years, it&#8217;s perfectly decent &#8211; though you can maybe understand Linkin Park deciding at the time that it was a bit more-of-the-same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>27. Strandz &#8211; &#8220;Us Against The World&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rBZ4CK2tces\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Chart debut. This has been hovering outside the top 40 for a couple of weeks, although that hasn&#8217;t inspired anyone to do a Wikipedia article for the guy &#8211; as of right now, the top result for his name is a nature park in Bulgaria. He&#8217;s a London rapper, though his background also takes in Germany and Nigeria. &#8220;Us Against the World&#8221; is pretty good, and a nice change from UK grime to boot. The sample is from &#8220;Who&#8217;s Gonna Take the Blame&#8221;, a 1970 album track by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>31.

The reason Lovejoy can get a retro indie guitar track into the charts, let&#8217;s be honest, is that their frontman has six million followers for his YouTube gaming channel &#8211; but the band are actually decent, and this isn&#8217;t a novelty cash-in.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Boy&#8217;s a Liar&#8221; by PinkPantheress<\/strong> climbs 8-3.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;People&#8221; by Libianca<\/strong> climbs 17-15.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Ceilings&#8221; by Lizzy McAlpine<\/strong> climbs 27-21.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Lavender Haze&#8221; by Taylor Swift<\/strong> climbs 33-30<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Ready to Fly&#8221; by Sub Focus &amp; Dimension<\/strong> climbs to 34 after two weeks at 35.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are four new entries this week plus two re-entries (Lewis Capaldi and Pink).
