The other two tracks are from a surprise follow-up EP, &#8220;Split Decision&#8221;. &#8220;Sprinter&#8221; appears on the EP too, but the remaining track, &#8220;Our 25th Birthday&#8221;, gets disqualified by the three-song rule. As that title might suggest, even though Dave has been having hits for longer, they&#8217;re the same age &#8211; their birthdays are one day apart, and the EP was timed for that.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s Dave&#8217;s third number 1, following &#8220;Funky Friday&#8221; in 2018 and &#8220;Starlight&#8221; last year. Central Cee gets his first number 1, but he&#8217;s been on the verge of having one under his own power for a while; this is his 6th top 10 hit, and &#8220;Doja&#8221; reached number 2 last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21. The Weeknd, Playboi Carti &amp; Madonna &#8211; &#8220;Popular&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xnvkStb2jT0\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another song from the soundtrack of the Weeknd&#8217;s HBO series\u00a0<em>The Idol<\/em>, which has had dire reviews so far. The previous single, &#8220;Double Fantasy&#8221;, entered at number 14 and left the top 40 after two weeks &#8211; charitably, his audience are treating this as a side project. &#8220;Popular&#8221; is&#8230; unmemorable? I can see it working as soundtrack fodder, to be fair.<\/p>\n<p>Playboi Carti has never had a solo hit in this country, but he has guested on tracks by Drake and Trippie Redd in 2020-21. Madonna is more of a surprise &#8211; she hasn&#8217;t had a hit single since &#8220;Living for Love&#8221; in 2015, and this is her highest singles chart position since &#8220;Celebration&#8221; entered at number 3 way back in 2009. She has a single with Sam Smith out for next week&#8217;s chart too, so evidently she&#8217;s making a concerted effort to have hits again in her mid-sixties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>22. Hannah Laing &amp; RoRo &#8211; &#8220;Good Love&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4RETMHLh9wc\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That visualiser should probably have an epilepsy warning on it.\u00a0Anyway, Hannah Laing is a DJ from Dundee, RoRo is a singer from Barbados, and this the first hit for both of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>28. Jorja Smith &#8211; &#8220;Little Things&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hqtDXcwX61I\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Jorja Smith is more of an albums artist &#8211; she had top ten albums in 2018 and 2021 &#8211; but she does have the occasional hit single too. Still, we haven&#8217;t heard from her since 2019&#8217;s &#8220;Be Honest&#8221; reached the top 10. It&#8217;s the second single from her upcoming third album; the first one failed to chart. This, on the other hand, has been climbing from the lower reaches over the last three weeks, which bodes well for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. Byron Messia &#8211; &#8220;Talibans&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LD5LxJdCiRk\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Debut hit. He&#8217;s a dancehall artist from St Kitts. Comparing yourselves to the Taliban might be seen as questionable, but you don&#8217;t go to this genre for sensitivity, I guess.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39. Kali &#8211; &#8220;Area Codes&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g3pLoVClX9M\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Another debut hit. She&#8217;s a rapper from Atlanta. This is another one that&#8217;s been climbing from the lower reaches for several weeks. A string of remixes with different guest rappers can&#8217;t be hurting it, but it&#8217;s not like any of the guest stars are big names in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Giving Me&#8221; by Jazzy<\/strong> climbs 6-3. That overtakes her uncredited guest appearance on Belters Only&#8217;s &#8220;Make Me Feel Good&#8221; last year, which simplifies matters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;React&#8221; by Switch Disco &amp; Ella Henderson<\/strong> climbs 5-4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Dancing is Healing&#8221; by Rudimental with Charlotte Plank &amp; Vibe Chemistry<\/strong> climbs 11-8, giving Rudimental their sixth top 10 hit (five years after the last one).<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Padam Padam&#8221; by Kylie Minogue<\/strong>, which entered at 26 two weeks ago and climbed to 23 in its second week, vaults up to number 12. She hasn&#8217;t been this high up the chart since 2014, when &#8220;Into the Blue&#8221; also got a week at number 12.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Dance the Night&#8221; by Dua Lipa<\/strong> climbs 20-13.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Waffle House&#8221; by the Jonas Brothers<\/strong> climbs 33-30.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Side Effects&#8221; by Becky Hill &amp; Lewis Thompson<\/strong> climbs 40-35.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The tracks leaving the top 40:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Hits Different&#8221; by Taylor Swift<\/strong> got a single week at number 18.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Snow on the Beach&#8221; by Taylor Swift featuring Lana Del Rey<\/strong> likewise gets a single week at number 24. Both of those were just deluxe edition album tracks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;The Best&#8221; by Tina Turner<\/strong> got a week at number 25, and understandably doesn&#8217;t stick around.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;What&#8217;s Love Got To Do With It&#8221; by Tina Turner\u00a0<\/strong>is in the same position; it was number 35 last week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Satellite&#8221; by Harry Styles<\/strong>, despite being his current single, drops back out of the top 40 after a single week at number 36. &#8220;As It Was&#8221; is still in the top 10, though.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Last Night&#8221; by Morgan Wallen<\/strong> peaked at number 28 but managed a surprisingly respectable eight weeks on the top 40.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Can&#8217;t Tame Her&#8221; by Zara Larsson<\/strong> is another long running midcard hit &#8211; 11 weeks, peaking at number 25.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;See You Again&#8221; by Tyler the Creator &amp; Kali Uchis<\/strong> peaked at number 21 and hung around for six weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart&#8230; it&#8217;s a very busy week indeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The Foo Fighters &#8211; &#8220;But Here We Are&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8HoKlqa5FCE\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the Foo Fighters&#8217; 11th album, and the first since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins last year. (The drums on this album are played by Dave Grohl.) It&#8217;s their sixth number 1 album &#8211; basically, all of their studio albums since 2002&#8217;s &#8220;One By One&#8221; have been number one albums, except for 2014&#8217;s &#8220;Sonic Highways&#8221; (which was a number 2 behind a new Pink Floyd album) and a sideproject of Bee Gees covers from 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Noel Gallagher&#8217;s High Flying Birds &#8211; &#8220;Council Skies&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/awQYXYn1kWQ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the fourth High Flying Birds studio album (Oasis released a total of seven studio albums between 1994 and 2008, if you were wondering). The other three went to number one, as did 2021&#8217;s compilation &#8220;Back the Way We Came &#8211; Vol 1&#8221;, but number 2 in a strong week is still good. It&#8217;s a decent single, actually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.

It matches the peak of its 2020 predecessor, the lockdown covers album &#8220;Songs from the Kitchen Disco&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. Louise &#8211; &#8220;Greatest Hits&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TScOHSAR7Ec\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8230; I would not have guessed that there was that much of a market for a Louise Redknapp compilation album. Mind you, she did release a studio album in 2020 after a 20 year gap, and it got to number 11. Her biggest hit single was &#8220;2 Faced&#8221;, which got to number 3, but she did have eight top 10 hits between 1995 and 2003, including the track above, which was&#8230; nearly ten years behind the time even when it came out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. Bob Dylan &#8211; &#8220;Shadow Kingdom&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hCc2SczzqWE\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>His 40th studio album, but thanks to live albums, compilations, archive dumps and the like, it&#8217;s his 67th top 40 album. It&#8217;s a collection of new versions of songs from the first half of his career. Dylan is now 82. His last studio album reached number 13 in 2021; rather perversely, two archive recording albums have made the top 10 since then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. Royston Club &#8211; &#8220;Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e0YzCaxI9QE\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Indie band from Wrexham.
