This time it&#8217;s Sam Fender, who understandably has completely different lyrics for his verse because he plainly did not grow up in New England. They didn&#8217;t change the chorus, though, making him a weird fit.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As spillover, Fender&#8217;s big hit\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Seventeen Going Under&#8221;<\/strong> re-enters at number 35. And even without an album release, Kahan now has three singles in the top 40, the third being &#8220;Northern Attitude&#8221;, rebounding from 32 to 29 this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. Benson Boone &#8211; &#8220;Beautiful Things&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oa_RSwwpPaA?si=LoiCmtRpMtt906Bj\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Benson Boone is big on TikTok, and had a previous hit in 2022 with &#8220;In the Stars&#8221;. That reached number 22 in the UK, and did respectably in other parts of Europe &#8211; it was a top 10 hit in Ireland, Norway and Sweden. Several singles since then haven&#8217;t done a great deal, but he gets a second (and slightly bigger) hit with this. It&#8217;s pretty decent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>26. Ella Henderson featuring Rudimental &#8211; &#8220;Alibi&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aaQetOuCJf8?si=HQH8fRg-RrcT2SI_\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Yes, we&#8217;ve reached the point where sampling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fPO76Jlnz6c\">Coolio&#8217;s &#8220;Gangsta&#8217;s Paradise&#8221;<\/a> is acceptable. It was number 1 for two weeks in 1995. Coolio in turn got it from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=b0S4SiLxt1s\">Stevie Wonder&#8217;s &#8220;Pastime Paradise&#8221;<\/a>, a 1976 album track, but &#8220;Alibi&#8221; is clearly taking it via Coolio rather than direct from source.<\/p>\n<p><strong>34. Becky Hill &amp; Sonny Fodera &#8211; &#8220;Never Be Alone&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-p5FeDRqLf0?si=oN8qbdMqUD0k_pYi\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Becky Hill&#8217;s chart positions are very erratic, because she&#8217;s not an act with a big personal following so much as a jobbing diva who turns up on an awful lot of dance tracks that sell on their individual merits. Her last single &#8220;Disconnect&#8221; made number 6; the one before that, &#8220;Side Effects&#8221;, number 35. This is pretty routine, so I&#8217;d place it in the latter camp, but you never know.<\/p>\n<p>Sonny Fodera gets a second UK hit to follow on &#8220;Asking&#8221;, the collaboration with MK and Clementine Douglas that reached the top 10 last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>36. David Kushner &#8211; &#8220;Skin and Bones&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2JEv8AVW8vw?si=adyBC5wGpUuvakqP\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>David Kushner was unlucky not to get a number 1 hit last year with &#8220;Daylight&#8221;, which spent five weeks at number 2. This is&#8230; &#8220;Daylight&#8221; with more God. A lot more God. I&#8217;m not sure how many UK listeners actually identify with &#8220;I want to sleep with this woman but she is clearly a deceiver sent to lure me from the path of salvation&#8221; &#8211; which is only barely a paraphrase of the lyrics. And frankly, it&#8217;s getting quite firmly into &#8220;um, do you have a problem with women&#8221; territory. So&#8230; yeah, I&#8217;ll be surprised if this can repeat &#8220;Daylight&#8221;&#8216;s success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.

This time, he&#8217;s got Ava Max in to do what&#8217;s basically a cover of Shakira&#8217;s 2002 number 2 hit &#8220;Whenever, Wherever&#8221;. It&#8217;s hard to imagine why anyone would listen to this when the original exists, unless they&#8217;re just too young to know it.<\/p>\n<p>Ava Max had a number 1 hit with &#8220;Sweet But Psycho&#8221; in 2018, but she really has been struggling to follow that up. After three solo top 20 hits in 2019-2021, she showed up on a Tiesto song that got to number 12 in 2022 and hasn&#8217;t had a hit since. None of the singles from her second album even made the top 75.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Unwritten&#8221; by Natasha Bedingfield<\/strong> climbs 18-13.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Never Lose Me&#8221; by Flo Milli<\/strong> climbs 24-17<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Angel Numbers \/ Ten Toes&#8221; by Chris Brown\u00a0<\/strong>climbs 35-31, finally passing the number 32 peak of its first appearance on chart in November.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Toxic&#8221; by Songer<\/strong> climbs 39-32.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The seven tracks leaving the top 40 are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Black Friday&#8221; by Tom Odell<\/strong>, which re-entered for a single week at 31; it peaked at 21 in October.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Vampire&#8221; by Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong>, with three weeks in its post-Christmas run.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Practice&#8221; by Drake<\/strong>, after two weeks, peaking at 27.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Body Moving&#8221; by Eliza Rose &amp; Calvin Harris<\/strong>, after three weeks, peaking at 34.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Surround Sound&#8221; by JID featuring 21 Savage &amp; Baby Tate<\/strong>, after three weeks, peaking at 35.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Nee-Nah&#8221; by 21 Savage featuring Travis Scott &amp; Metro Boomin<\/strong>, after a single week at 23.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;N.H.I.E.&#8221; by 21 Savage featuring Doja Cat<\/strong>, after a single week at 27.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the album chart:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. \u00a0Green Day &#8211; &#8220;Saviors&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qAmulKjcHoo?si=9-ejBiXVx_lWZOM8\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Green Day&#8217;s fifth number 1 album.

Basically, they&#8217;ve become one of those legacy acts who can be pretty confident of getting a week at number 1 in the declining album market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.
