Liam Gallagher &amp; John Squire &#8211; &#8220;Just Another Rainbow&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oOS0VlHNkqE?si=uiJZ3kaAKm0MtUNp\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This was number one in the Sunday &#8220;first look&#8221; figures, which I&#8217;d take to mean that its figures rest heavily on first-day sales, or even pre-orders. It&#8217;s the lead single for a whole album by Liam Gallagher of Oasis and John Squire of the Stone Roses (who gets his first solo credit on a top 40 single here). Squire is his sixties, and there&#8217;s no doubt that this is an unusual record to find on the singles chart rather than the albums. That said, though, Liam is <em>always<\/em> an outlier in his genre &#8211; &#8220;Everything&#8217;s Electric&#8221;, the lead single from his previous album, got to number 18. Number 16 is his highest chart position under his own name, but not by such a margin as to suggest that the Squire collaboration is game-changing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21.

This is unusually high for them, though &#8211; their only higher placing single was their debut hit &#8220;Drown&#8221;, which reached 17 a decade ago. Probably due in part to the market being quiet right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24.

She had five top 10 hits (including this), and another two in the top 20, between 2004 and 2008 &#8211; and hasn&#8217;t troubled the singles or album charts since. This is back because it&#8217;s in the film <em>Anyone But You<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>27.

On one level this is a remarkable underperformance for a new Lewis Capaldi song, but a more charitable reading would be that it reflects the fact that he&#8217;s doing no promotion for these releases &#8211; the re-issue itself was a surprise release, and as far as I&#8217;m aware, Capaldi hasn&#8217;t performed publicly since last summer when he announced a break from live shows for health reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.

He&#8217;s a rapper from Reading, and yes, this is him freestyling over the instrumental from Britney Spears&#8217; &#8220;Toxic&#8221;. I assume they either reconstructed the vocals that are still audible in the background at points, or they were backing singers to start with, since I can&#8217;t believe Britney Spears doesn&#8217;t have the clout to negotiate a &#8220;featuring credit&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>40.
