This is the lead single from Freya Ridings&#8217; second album; it&#8217;s a sort of disco Florence + The Machine. She had two hits from her first album, but that was a while back now &#8211; &#8220;Lost Without You&#8221; reached number 9 in 2018, and &#8220;Castles&#8221; got to 16 the following year. It&#8217;s taken the lead track from the follow-up album a month to get to number 31, and the midweeks suggest it&#8217;s dropping straight out again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>33.

Indie rap, but the appeal of this one completely escapes me.

Again, the midweeks have this vanishing next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>35.

The midweeks\u00a0<em>do<\/em> have this climbing&#8230; slightly. This is on EMI, who evidently think there&#8217;s a gap in the market for a bubblegum Lily Allen. We&#8217;ll see.

This is an album track from &#8220;SOS&#8221; that&#8217;s been slowing climbing for a few weeks now.

To be fair, they&#8217;ve been terribly unlucky there, since 2002&#8217;s &#8220;Plastic Beach&#8221;, 2017&#8217;s &#8220;Humanz&#8221; and 2020&#8217;s &#8220;Song Machine Season One &#8211; Strange Timez&#8221; all got to number 2. The albums that held them\u00a0<em>off<\/em> number one, if you&#8217;re wondering, were &#8220;Brother&#8221; by Boyzone, &#8220;Divide&#8221; by Ed Sheeran (in its ninth week), and Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s &#8220;Letter To You&#8221;. The last couple of albums haven&#8217;t hung around long, by the way, so they&#8217;re definitely a fanbase release these days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.
