Sabrina Carpenter competes against herself for a fourth week at the top of the singles chart. Kasabian have the number one album.
Sabrina Carpenter continues to do battle with herself at the top of the singles chart. Kasabian have their seventh number one album.
For the fourth consecutive week, Sabrina Carpenter competed with herself for the number one spot in the singles chart. However, there is a change at the top. Please Please Please slips to number two after three weeks at the summit. Espresso is back at the top of the chart after spending the last four weeks at number two. She thereby achieves the rare feat of replacing herself at the top of the chart with a song that has already reached number one. Espresso gets its sixth week at the top, adding to the five weeks it spent there in May and June.
Shaboozie, the only non-female act in the top five, is at number three with Tipsy (A Bar Song). Billie Eilish climbs one place back up to number four with Birds Of A Feather. She has spent the last seven weeks oscillating between numbers four and five. Chappell Roan falls one place to number five with Good Luck, Babe, easily the better of her two current top forty songs.
Quavo gets his first top forty hit since 2020 with Tough at number 32. He is assisted by Lana Del Rey who made her chart debut with the glorious Video Games in 2011. All but one of Del Rey’s top ten hits to date have peaked at numbers four or nine.
Eminem with additional contributions from BabyTron and Big Sean enters at number 29 with the predictably awful Tobey. Isn’t it time he retired? This rubbish is his 46th top forty hit in a career that dates back to the late twentieth century.
After coming within seconds of being knocked out of the tournament in the last 16 by Slovakia, England have now reached the final of the 2024 European Championships. The semi-final win came too late to have much of an impact on streaming figures for Three Lions by Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds as the streaming companies still haven’t worked out how to provide Thursday’s figures in time. Officially, the song is back at number 20 but it would surely have been higher if Thiursday’s figures had been included. After Sunday night’s final, streaming figures will either increase further or fall off a cliff.
Zach Bryan re-enters at number 40 with Pink Skies. Sasha falls one place to number ten with Austin. It is her seventh week at number ten, matching the run (albeit successive weeks) achieved by Liz Truss a couple years ago.
While bands continue to struggle to reach even the top forty in the singles chart, they are still able to maker the upper reaches of the albums chart, some of them even making it all the way to the top. Such is the case this week with Leicester’s Kasabian getting their seventh number one with Happenings. Their eponymous debut, released in 2004, is their only studio album not to top the chart.
Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department slips back to number two after her latest run at the top. Billie Eilish is at number three with Hit Me Hard And Soft, one place ahead of Charli XCX’s Brat.
Chappell Roan’s slow climb up the albums chart finally reaches the top five. The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess is at number five this week. That leaves Kasabian as the only act in the top five not to be a female singer-songwriter.
Happenings is one of just two new albums in the top forty this week. Zach Bryan follows his first hit single by entering the chart at number sixteen with his fifth studio album The Great American Bar Scene. It is his second top forty album following the unimaginatively-titled Zach Bryan last year.
