Calvin Harris &amp; Ellie Goulding &#8211; &#8220;Miracle&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/961v0E3b01g\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So, last week, &#8220;Flowers&#8221; by Miley Cyrus was finally knocked off number 1 after ten weeks by Ed Sheeran&#8217;s new single &#8220;Eyes Closed&#8221;. I did flag that it had only made it to number one thanks to the boost from first-week pre-orders of the CD single, which is very much a fanbase product, but as it turns out, it drops to number three this week. Threading their way to the top instead are Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding, with a single that&#8217;s been out for four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>This is Calvin Harris&#8217;s eleventh number one single, counting guest appearances. The others are Dizzee Rascal&#8217;s &#8220;Dance Wiv Me&#8221; (2008), &#8220;I&#8217;m Not Alone&#8221; (2009), Rihanna&#8217;s &#8220;We Found Love&#8221; (2011), &#8220;Sweet Nothing&#8221; (2012), &#8220;Under Control&#8221; (2013), &#8220;Summer&#8221; (2014), &#8220;Blame&#8221; (2017), &#8220;Feels&#8221; (2017), &#8220;One Kiss&#8221; (2018) and &#8220;Promises&#8221; (2018). So it&#8217;s been five years, and he now has number 1s spanning a period of 15 years.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ellie Goulding gets her fourth number one &#8211; the others are &#8220;Burn&#8221; (2013), &#8220;Love Me Like You Do&#8221; (2015) and &#8220;River&#8221; (2019). And &#8220;River&#8221; only sneaked a week in the dead period after Christmas, so it&#8217;s been eight years since she had a <em>normal<\/em> number one.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s fortunate that we have such excitement at the top, because nothing is happening on the rest of the top 40. Look, here&#8217;s the highest new entry!<\/p>\n<p><strong>38. Jisoo &#8211; &#8220;Flower&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YudHcBIxlYw\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the solo chart debut for Kim Ji-soo, but she&#8217;s a member of Blackpink, who have been a regular presence in the bottom half of the top 40 for a few years now. Their all time peak is number 17 with &#8220;Sour Candy&#8221;, but that was a collaboration with Lady GaGa; their own singles typically get a week in the high twenties before tailing off rapidly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39. Tyler, the Creator &#8211; &#8220;Dogtooth&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2TVXi_9Bvlg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s more of an albums act in the UK &#8211; his last three albums all made the top 10 &#8211; but this is his fourth hit single since 2019. His singles places are very erratic, though. This is a single from the deluxe edition of his 2021 album &#8220;Call Me If You Get Lost&#8221;, which re-enters at 18 (it got to 4 on first release).<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;If We Ever Broke Up&#8221; by Mae Stephens<\/strong> climbs 16-13.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Whistle&#8221; by Jax Jones &amp; Calum Scott<\/strong> climbs 22-14.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;React&#8221; by Switch Disco &amp; Ella Henderson<\/strong> climbs 26-15.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Mother&#8221; by Meghan Trainor<\/strong> climbs 27-22, which baffles me.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Can&#8217;t Tame Her&#8221; by Zara Larsson<\/strong> climbs 36-27.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Hell N Back&#8221; by Bakar<\/strong> climbs 35-28.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Here&#8221; by Tom Grennan<\/strong> climbs 37-31.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are two new entries this week plus a couple of minor re-entries right at the bottom of the top 40 (from tracks which had only marginally dropped out to begin with). The four songs dropping out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;10:35&#8221; by Tiesto &amp; Tate McRae<\/strong> eventually made it to number 8 with 14 weeks on the top 40, despite a very slow start.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Fly Girl&#8221; by Flo featuring Missy Elliott<\/strong> got a single week at number 38. I don&#8217;t think people are buying the next big thing hype.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;River&#8221; by Miley Cyrus<\/strong> made it to number 16.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Trustfall&#8221; by Pink<\/strong> reached number 14.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. \u00a0boygenius &#8211; &#8220;The Record&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bIX_ouNJsTs\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>boygenius is a collaboration between Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus. While they&#8217;re sometimes described as an indie supergroup, Bridgers is the only one of the three who&#8217;s placed on the UK album chart before, when her 2020 album &#8220;Punisher&#8217; reached the top 10. At any rate, it&#8217;s a good album and worth a play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Melanie Martinez &#8211; &#8220;Portals&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nhx9QDuqpDM\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Melanie Martinez seems to release albums on a 4-year cycle. 2015&#8217;s &#8220;Cry Baby&#8221; reached 32, 2019&#8217;s &#8220;K-12&#8221; reached 2019, and now she&#8217;s at number 2. She&#8217;s got a weird personal mythology thing going on, which apparently the video plays into somehow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. DMA&#8217;s &#8211; &#8220;How Many Dreams&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UXzDuYFyDJ4\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Australian MOR guitar band.

It&#8217;s back now because of the physical release, which gets it into the top ten for the first time. De La Soul&#8217;s highest placing album remains the 1991 follow-up, &#8220;De La Soul Is Dead&#8221;, which reached number 7.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Davido &#8211; &#8220;Timeless&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i-J0Fdze42M\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>More Nigerian music, which is having a really good year commercially. Davido was actually born in Atlanta, but he was raised in Lagos. This is his fourth album, and the first to make the album top 40 &#8211; its predecessor only got to number 88.<\/p>\n<p><strong>35.

This is a return to the sort of places they were getting in \u00a0the mid 2010s, however. There&#8217;s been a line-up change since the last album, with the departure of the original singer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37.
