Chart Analysis
CHVRCHES have risen to the surface this week, earning a first #1 with How Not To Drown! Biig Piig also jumps one place to a new peak of #2. New at #3 is Jessie Ware's Hot N Heavy, matching the peak of previous single Please. Another new entry comes from Tinashe at #6, surrounded on all sides by Måneskin. Mysie's Seven Nights rises to an appropriate peak of seven, above Sigrid at #8. The first of many Wolf Alice tracks (their entire album is here, in fact) comes at #9, with King Princess finishing off the top 10. Just missing out on another top ten hit is Billie Eilish at #11. Non-Wolf-Alice entries come from Channel Tres, VanJess, and Orville Peck, plus there's two songs from 2020 which I'm giving a bit of chart justice to: Perfume Genius's Nothing At All (one of my favourites from his album which I never charted for some reason) and Rose Gray's cover of Nothing Can Stop Us (her only single to miss the top ten, let's see if I can fix that over the next few weeks)!

Hi Ansel!
Nice to see "How Not To Drown" at the top, "Torna A Casa" and "Mirror" reaching the top 10, the debuts for "Hot N Heavy" and "Lost Cause"!
Great chart!

Hey Ansel!.

I am shocked Churches entered straight in at #1! As a fan I feel like their new material hasn't been upto snuff.
Hot n Heavy entering at #3 though yay! What a track! The reissue with the new tracks is bloody great!
Good 4 u is such a bop. It's a shame it's falling so fast here!

Hi guys, thanks for commenting!

Glad you like those ones! Torna A Casa is v quickly becoming my favourite Måneskin song and Lost Cause is great, shame it's getting such a mixed reception from most people!


I've been really enjoying the new Chvrches era actually! I like how they're trying out new sounds and this more rocky sound really suits them.
Hot N Heavy is great, I absolutely love SG Lewis's stuff so getting to hear one of my faves on his production is so nice!
Oops yeah I'm probably being a bit unfair to good 4 u with it already out the top 10, but there just wasn't space higher up

I gave a few songs from the Wolf Alice album a listen on Saturday, Delicious Things was my favourite I think so nice to see that make an appearance here! Nice to see Mirror making its way into the Top 10 as well, growing on me quite a bit.
