Doja Cat&#8217;s album is out this week, and as you&#8217;d expect, the midweeks expect her to get a fourth week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Tate McRae &#8211; &#8220;Greedy&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/To4SWGZkEPk?si=v6HNf8va4PXgwhzg\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the lead single from her next album. Tate McRae had her first UK hit during the pandemic, when &#8220;You Broke Me First&#8221; reached number 3. With hindsight, that track now looks out wildly out of character, as she seems to have shifted into a dance pop artist. She&#8217;s had a couple of minor solo hits since, and got a second top 10 hit last year along with Tiesto on &#8220;10:35&#8221;. This finally gives her a second major hit of her own.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Drake featuring SZA &#8211; &#8220;Slime You Out&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s0WIUpETeok?si=1CxUNFl3YUIPsSwe\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the second single from Drake&#8217;s upcoming album, the first being &#8220;Search &amp; Rescue&#8221;, which got to number 5 in the spring. To be honest, I&#8217;ve never understood the appeal of his formless dirges. There are plenty of high profile artists that I don&#8217;t particularly like, but Drake must be the highest profile act of this decade whose appeal entirely baffles me. There&#8217;s nothing there I find remotely relatable or engaging. I don&#8217;t often have that reaction to someone who&#8217;s indisputably popular. I have no trouble seeing the appeal of, say, D-Block Europe. But Drake might as well be white noise to me. Honestly, the one thing I <em>do<\/em> find interesting about him is what it is that gives him commercial appeal while being entirely invisible to me.<\/p>\n<p>This one is supposed to be especially interesting because Drake and SZA were dating a decade ago. If you say so.<\/p>\n<p>The midweeks have it dropping to 16.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. SZA &#8211; &#8220;Snooze&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/muPO1c6pxXg?si=1cm6M05ztVIxIW2n\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As it happens, SZA has her own single to promote at the moment. The original version of &#8220;Snooze&#8221; was a minor hit earlier in the year, peaking at number 36 in March. Technically this is a re-entry, but it&#8217;s back because they released a new acoustic version with, um, Justin Bieber. Not the most obvious collaborator for SZA, but okay. It&#8217;s not officially nominated as the lead version, and so SZA has the only credit on the chart, but it&#8217;s the reason why we&#8217;re here. It&#8217;s quite good, in fact. The midweeks say this is a one-week blip, though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24. Tyla &#8211; &#8220;Water&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PBAMcKXcBKE?si=ATdjdVAPTTkrApUK\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Debut hit. Tyla Seethal is a South African singer. This track has taken off internationally because it&#8217;s a viral dance challenge on TikTok, but it&#8217;s worth remembering here that TikTok itself doesn&#8217;t actually count towards the charts. People have to go off and actually listen to the song somewhere else, in order for it to count. The song&#8217;s quite pleasant. On the midweeks, it climbs into the top 20.<\/p>\n<p><strong>31. Chase &amp; Status featuring Hedex &amp; ArrDee &#8211; &#8220;Liquor &amp; Cigarettes&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/69zVJjH7xCs?si=YqYojwxcydp_MHTq\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most unexpected story of the singles chart in 2023 is the fact that Chase &amp; Status, who hadn&#8217;t even had a top 40 hit in a decade, now have three at once. &#8220;Disconnect&#8221; and &#8220;Baddadan&#8221; are at 12 and 13 this week.<\/p>\n<p>ArrDee has had hits before, although his only appearance of 2023 was a single that stalled at 35. Hedex is a drum and bass producer, and this is his first hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>33. Billy Gillies featuring Hannah Boleyn &#8211; &#8220;DNA (Loving You)&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qGDsMXdQoyI?si=ngyxMMrWF1LiTIff\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Extremely faithful retro trance, basically. He&#8217;s a producer from Belfast, she&#8217;s a singer-songwriter from Leicestershire. Debut hit for them both. The midweeks show it climbing into the top 30.<\/p>\n<p><strong>35. Zach Bryan featuring Kacey Musgraves &#8211; &#8220;I Remember Everything&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZVVvJjwzl6c?si=2y3_xZWSG9sFJ3ZQ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A recent US number 1, getting some spillover attention in the UK. It&#8217;s the first UK hit single for either of them, although Musgraves has had two top ten albums. We don&#8217;t normally get this sort of Americana track in the singles chart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>37. Turno x Skepsis x Charlotte Plank &#8211; &#8220;Rave Out&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yzf_pVGMNYo?si=Lf-95lwHWHbuoiXW\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This has been floating around the lower reaches for 7 weeks. Lovely brass samples on this. Turno and Skepsis are UK drum and bass producers. Plank gets her second hit after appearing on Rudimental&#8217;s &#8220;Dancing Is Healing&#8221;, a top 5 hit in the summer. The midweeks say this will be gone after a single week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>38. Zara Larsson &amp; David Guetta &#8211; &#8220;On My Love&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gudx8Bvnqsg?si=hnPuGYLnB_hOmiG7\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the third single from Larsson&#8217;s upcoming album. The first was &#8220;Can&#8217;t Tame Her&#8221;, which got to 25; the second was &#8220;End of Time&#8221;, which seems to have sunk without trace. Apparently, that&#8217;s her sister in the video (and the home movies are real). The midweeks have it dropping straight to 65 on its second week.<\/p>\n<p>With two high new entries, this week&#8217;s climbers are few and far between.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Strangers&#8221; by Kenya Grace<\/strong> climbs 12-3.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Prada&#8221; by c\u00e4sso x Raye x D-Block Europe<\/strong> climbs 5-4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;City Boys&#8221; by Burna Boy<\/strong> climbs 23-22.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a re-entry for Rema&#8217;s &#8220;Calm Down&#8221; at number 39. That means there are ten tracks leaving the top 40:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Good Love&#8221; by Hannah Laing &amp; RoRo\u00a0<\/strong>made it to number 7 and spent 15 weeks in the top 40.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Feel It&#8221; by Jazzy<\/strong> only got to number 35 and lasted 2 weeks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Miracle&#8221; by Calvin Harris &amp; Ellie Goulding<\/strong> was an 8-week number 1 that entered the top 40 back in March. It was previously the longest-running hit on the top 40.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Relax My Eyes&#8221; by ANOTR &amp; Abel Balder<\/strong> only to to 33, but spent a respectable 10 weeks in the top 40.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Bongos&#8221; by Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion<\/strong> got a single week at number 35 and is absolutely not the next &#8220;WAP&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Single Soon&#8221; by Selena Gomez<\/strong> had three weeks peaking at 21.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Rich Men North of Richmond&#8221; by Oliver Anthony Music<\/strong> peaked at 23 and lasted a month in the top 40.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;My Love&#8221; by Leigh-Anne featuring Ayra Starr<\/strong> entered at 28 last week and swandives gracelessly to number 69. This is looking bad for the Little Mix solo careers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Slow Dancing&#8221; by V<\/strong> got a single week at number 24 and immediately drops out of the top 100, which isn&#8217;t exactly good either.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Angry&#8221; by the Rolling Stones <\/strong>got a single week at 34 and, again, drops straight out of the top 100. It&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve had three fanbase new entries of this sort in a single week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With &#8220;Miracle&#8221; gone, we have to crown a new longest-running top 40 hit! I&#8217;m going here by\u00a0<em>uninterrupted<\/em> runs, to be clear. That disqualifies &#8220;Flowers&#8221; by Miley Cyrus, currently at number 40, which has spent 35 weeks in the top 40 but did drop out for a single week; and &#8220;Calm Down&#8221;, which has had a staggering 46 weeks total in the top 40, but has dropped out twice. So our current record holder is <strong>&#8220;Dance the Night&#8221; by Dua Lipa<\/strong>, with 17 consecutive weeks. It&#8217;s currently at 20, so it could be with us for a while yet.<\/p>\n<p>On the album chart&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Busted &#8211; &#8220;Greatest Hits 2.0&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8NUQKmNsJNI?si=hvrd85J6kIy4_L41\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is a career retrospective album, consisting of one disc of Busted re-recording their hits, and another disc of Busted re-recording their own hits with guest stars. Plus, for some random reason, the above cover version of &#8220;Mmmbop.&#8221; Busted have had three previous number two albums &#8211; two in their commercial peak in 2002-2003, and a third with their 2019 album &#8220;Half Way There&#8221; &#8211; but this is their first number one.
