So look, the Grammys happened this week and it kind of explains a lot of what happened here. Olivia Dean now has a duopoly at the very pointy end of the chart with "Man I Need" holding strong at number onem, it's not giving up it's streaming lead any time soon, the margins were a little too much for Dean's other major smash "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" which jumped two spots to number two thanks to gains on streaming.
Raye's "Where Is My Husband" remains steady at number three while "The Fate of Ophelia" by Taylor Swift rebounded one spot to number foour.
Alex Warren also rebounded but just five places up to number five, I am ready for this song to disappear. Sombr's got "Homewrecker" coming to the chart soon but for now "12 to 12" continues to hang on in the top ten up three spots to six (it's original peak).
The virality of "End of Beginning" by Djo is beginning to fade so it's down one to number seven. "Golden" from K-Pop Demon Hunter remains at number eight.
"Raindance" by Dave and Tems returns to the top ten up two to number nine while "No Broke Boys" bu Disco Lines and Tinashe slumped three places to number ten...please we can end this song's time on the chart sooner rather than later.
Losers
Now you may have noticed that there was no mention of Harry Styles song "Aperture' in that top ten, that is because the song tumbled ten spots to twelve...this song is NOT going to stick around, its losing momentum on streaming. Another single is going to have to come if they are going to save this album cycle at this rate.
"I Run" by HVN and Kaitlyn Aragon down seven to twenty one while :"Victory Lap" by Fred Again, Skepta and PlaqueboyMax down ten slots to twenty six.
"The Days (Notion Remix)" by Chrystal slipped eight spots to forty two while "Fame is a Gun" by Addison Rae slumped eight to forty seven.
Finally the biggest loser of the week is Tyla's "Chanel" which is on the way out down twelve to fifty
Drop Outs
Drop outs were "Dancing 2" by Keli Holiday and 'Phantoms" by EsdeeKid and Rico Ace
Gains
Look, I am going to pin the thirteen place gain to thirty four for "Manchild" by Sabrina Carpenter to a boost after the Grammys because otherwise I am bewildered at the massive gain for this song...I am done with it!
Outside of that, there no other major gains this week although "Rein Me In" by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean is up four places to sixteen.
Re-Entries
Grannys also likely responsible for the return of Lola Young's "Messy" at forty five
New Entries
One new entry this week, let's dive into...
15. "The Great Divide" by Noah Kahan
Okay, Noah Kahan is somebody I respect more than I like. "Stick Season" is okay and I do think he is a better collaborator than anything he has done solo so I haf low expectations for this song which is the lead single from his upcoming album and yeah, this might be the first song from Kahan that I actually like but it's mostly for the subject matter of the song where he is with this person who is desperately trying to find relief and escape from trouble be it an addiction or family trouble but in a reckless way and Kahan's there as the helpless passenger trying to remind this person that they have so much stil to live for without doing all the reckless things they are doing eg: getting married, finding joy in the mundane little moments. I do like that this song sounds like it could push into heartland rock if it wanted to as well. I'll take this.
That wraps our week. No best or worst this week as we only had the one song. Nrxt week...Sombr and a shit tonne of Bad Bunny...
