Calvin Harris &amp; Ellie Goulding &#8211; &#8220;Miracle&#8221;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s week seven. One more week for it to match &#8220;One Kiss&#8221; as Calvin Harris&#8217;s longest-running number one. <strong>&#8220;Daylight&#8221; by David Kushner<\/strong> returns to number 2 for a fourth week, after getting pushed down to 3 last time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Lana Del Rey &#8211; &#8220;Say Yes to Heaven&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MiAoetOXKcY\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Lana Del Rey did have hit singles right at the start of her career &#8211; &#8220;Video Games&#8221; made number 9 in 2011, and &#8220;Born To Die&#8221; did the same the following year. In fact, that&#8217;s as high as she&#8217;s ever got with a regular single. Technically she has three higher placed singles to her credit &#8211; the 2013 remix of &#8220;Summertime Sadness&#8221;, which reached number 4; her inexplicable collaboration with Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus on &#8220;Don&#8217;t Call Me Angel (Charlie&#8217;s Angels)&#8221;, which got to number 2 in 2019; and her guest appearance on Taylor Swift&#8217;s &#8220;Snow on the Beach&#8221;, which reached number 4 last year. But she hasn&#8217;t had a top 40 hit with one her own records since &#8220;Lust For Life&#8221;, which scraped the bottom of the chart in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Instead, Lana Del Rey has been firmly established as an album artist &#8211; all of her studio albums have reached number 1 or 2, except for her spoken word album &#8220;Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass&#8221;. And even that got to number 25.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Say Yes to Heaven&#8221; is an unreleased song which seems to have been floating around in various forms, never quite making the cut, since the sessions for her 2014 album &#8220;Ultraviolence&#8221;. Her fanbase apparently view it as her great unreleased song, and it appears to have been finally released now in response to a surge of interest over on TikTok. Hence, it also comes in an officially-released sped-up version. If you&#8217;re going to take the money, you may as well take <em>all<\/em> the money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>22.

Normal chart rules apply, though, and his mix hasn&#8217;t been nominated as the lead version, so he doesn&#8217;t feature in the chart credit.<\/p>\n<p>The title, which is otherwise rather mystifying, refers to the sample from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RaHlnFPcNx0\">Kilo Ali&#8217;s 1990 single &#8220;America Has A Problem (Cocaine)&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The previous single, &#8220;Cuff It&#8221;, is still around, and rebound 24-19 this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>26.

She hasn&#8217;t been this high in the chart since 2014. With this record, she&#8217;s now had top 40 hits in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. It&#8217;s a good track, as well.<\/p>\n<p>The title is a reference to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xXqLj7X1WDU\">an Edith Piaf song from 1951<\/a>, but otherwise it&#8217;s a completely unrelated song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>28.
