Del Rey takes the crown for the second time this year as Stevie Nicks collab Beautiful People Beautiful Problems becomes this year’s 22nd chart topper. Being a huge fan of both artists, this was only a matter of time really, although I was slightly surprised myself how low this came on the indie forum’s Lust For Life tracks rate. I guess if Stevie’s a new name to you and not music royalty the track has less of an impact. For Lana, this was her Britney-Spears-and-Madonna moment. Last week’s leader Honor slips to #2, and is joined in the top 5 by rises from BJSC discovery Naika and Pink, while Lauren Faith’s the only other newie into the top ten.

Highest new entry total this week goes to London Grammar; I didn’t like Oh Woman Oh Man at the time, but it sounds much better around this time of year. Official UK Chart #1 Dua Lipa’s New Rules is not far behind as this week’s second-highest new entry, debuting for me at #14. It’s Lipa’s sixth appearance so far this year, joining three #1s, a further top ten and a top 30. Harry Styles also gains his first top 20 this week, becoming the third of the One Direction boys to get that high for me.

A bunch of new entries come this week from mainly indie artists that you may or may not know; Nerina Pallot, Frankie Rose, The Preatures, Elohim, Harrison Wheeler, Malika and Tritonal are some of the least well-known names to debut new tunes this week. Joining them are newies from the more-renowned Kings of Leon, Kesha, Robbie Williams, and another for reigning queen Lana, this time alongside A$AP Rocky and everyone's favourite Playboi Carti. Lana this week moves into joint-third position for the number of weeks spent at the top so far this year, alongside Jhene Aiko and the Chainsmokers; Martin Garrix with four weeks is currently second, and Dua Lipa rules the roost, having notched up six chart-topping weeks since January. Will New Rules extend that lead? You’ll have to check back next week and find out.

All new entries will be getting individual video links and a bit of commentary later on in the week, so check back and that’ll save you having to search them out individually, I’ll update the thread title accordingly when those are done. For now, the top 40 for this fourth and final week of August:
