Pretty standard week here with a bit of movement but for once it's nice to see some good songs getting boosts for a change and the charts don't feel anywhere near as stale as they did in 2025. Next week we have that new Harry Styles song and whatever impact the Hottest 100 has on the chart but let's focus on this week and begin with our top ten where a favourite for number one "Man I Need" by Olivia Dean remains at number one and will face a threat from Harry Styles next week given "Aperture" will have monstrous streaming and it already has sales.
That means there is no possible way that "The Fate of Ophelia" by Taylor Swift can return to number one especially now that attention is being moved from this song to "Opalite" which was anointed as the second single from the album.
Rising three spots to number three this week is "Where is My Husband?" by Raye which really is just consistent across the board at this point, it pushed past "End of Beginning" by Djo to number four. "Golden" from K-Pop Demon Hunters to number five and "So Easy (To Fall In Love)" by Olivia Dean to number six.
Former long running number one "Ordinary" by Alex Warren remained steady at number seven this week while "Raindance" by Dave and Tems gained two places to number eight, this song is gaining massive traction on streaming right now.
Falling back one slot is "No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines and Tinashe to number nine, its basically still in the top ten on streaming fumes alone.
New to the top ten this week is "I Just Might" by Bruno Mars which climbed one spot to number ten and will hopefully continue to make upward progress in the weeks ahead...I really like that song.
Losers.
As I somewhat expected "Sleepless in a Hotel Room" by Luke Combs was the biggest loser this week down ten spots to thirty one.
"Chanel" by Tyla might be flaming out eatly down seven to thirty four while "Rit for Tat" by Tate McRae slipped eight to forty four and "Gabriela" by Katseye slumped eight to forty five.
Drop Outs
Not really complaining about the drop outs this week despite them both being Australian with "Dracula" by Tame Impala and "Think About Us" by Sonny Fodera, D.O.D and Poppy Baskcomb taking their exits ,
Gains
I am mixed on our gains this week mostly because I am flabberghasted "Die on this Hill" by Sienna Spiro was the biggest gainer this week up ten spots to crack the top twenty at ninteen, the song actively gets worse with every single listen.
Also "Sports Car" by Tate McRae up seven to thirtyb five because of course people have to have a slice of forgettable music on the chart,
At least "Choosin' Texas" by Ella Langley got a six place boost up to twenty four which is good ro see.
New Entries
Two new entries this week beginning with...
43. "Plastic Cigarette" by Zach Bryan
So I've not heard the new Zach Bryan album yet...finding room to hear a whole 25 track album is just not a thing right now for me but we do have the song that has picked up the most traction of anything from it and the fact it's this one and not "Bad News" came as something of a shock to me especially given the controversy around that particular song but hey, I'll take this song with it's sparse guitar and drums and Zac Bryan crooning about personal accountability and letting go of someone or something that was providing him with comfort, I take this...good song...it's better than...
20. "Stateside" by Pink Pantheress feat. Zara Larsson
I've honestly been surprised at how much Pink Pantheress has struggled to follow up the success of "Boy's a Liar" and so it wasn't a surprise to me that this song needed...Zara Larsson as a feature as Zara is experiencing something of a viral moment herself with "Lush Life" taking off and honestly I really do not like the weird ass thudding production that doesn't compliment either Pink Pantheress or Zara Larsson here and also this just sounds like left over Charli XCX during her brat era. Zara's version feels tacted on as hell as well. I'm skipping this.
It s also worst of the week with the best of the week go to ":Plastic Cigarette" by Zach Bryan
