That&#8217;s this week&#8217;s new entries. They&#8217;re a London duo and this is their debut single. Entirely pleasant! It&#8217;s also climbing from last week&#8217;s number 81, so there&#8217;s every reason to think that it&#8217;s likely to go further.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We do have some climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Beautiful Things&#8221; by Benson Boone<\/strong> climbs 11-5 to become his first top 10 hit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Praise Jah in the Moonlight&#8221; by YG Marley<\/strong> climbs to 9 from last week&#8217;s debut at 20.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Alibi&#8221; by Ella Henderson featuring Rudimental<\/strong> climbs 24-16.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Nothing Matters&#8221; by the Last Dinner Party<\/strong> climbs 22-19, which is unusual for an indie band, but then they do have the parent album entering at number 1 this week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Selfish&#8221; by Justin Timberlake<\/strong> climbs 37-29 &#8211; not out of the woods, but enough for his label to breathe a sigh of relief.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Scared to Start&#8221; by Michael Marcagi<\/strong> climbs 38-31.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a couple of low-end re-entries &#8211; Kanye West&#8217;s &#8220;Runaway&#8221; at 35, and Mason &amp; Princess Superstar&#8217;s &#8220;Perfect (Exceeder)&#8221; at 39. So three records leave the top 40 this week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Can&#8217;t Catch Me Now&#8221; by Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong>, which peaked at 12 before Christmas and had a further five weeks in the new year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Seventeen Going Under&#8221; by Sam Fender<\/strong> after two weeks, peaking at 35.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Gas Me Up (Diligent)&#8221; by Skepta<\/strong> after a single week at 32.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The longest-running track in the top 40 is (obviously) still <strong>&#8220;Greedy&#8221; by Tate McRae<\/strong>, still at number 7 after 21 straight weeks on the chart.<\/p>\n<p>On to the album chart, then! <strong>The Last Dinner Party<\/strong> enter at number 1 with their debut <strong>&#8220;Prelude to Ecstasy&#8221;<\/strong>, and the single is in the top 20. They shifted 14,000 copies of this on vinyl, which probably tells you something about the demographic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

It&#8217;s his third album, all of which have made the top 10; this is the highest placed. He&#8217;s very big in his home city, by all accounts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.

Technically it&#8217;s slightly late, since it came out in December 1973. It spent seven weeks at number 1 on its release, though it didn&#8217;t get there until July 1974.<\/p>\n<p><strong>21.

To be fair, they&#8217;ve only released three\u00a0 albums since then &#8211; but only one of them even made the top 40. Their previous album, 2022&#8217;s &#8220;1st Congregational Church of Eternal Love and Free Hugs&#8221;, missed the top 100 entirely, so in that context this is a success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I hope for a nice quiet week.
