Visions of Atlantis concede the top spot after a two-week reign to Robyn who zooms up all the way from #7 to take this week's lead. Honey becomes the Swedish cult fave's fourth chart topper since hm, about a decade ago when she first popped up on my radar. Surprisingly, With Every Heartbeat, her flagship hit isn't one of those - Be Mine was her first winner for me, although WEH has grown on me since over the years and is now a sure fave. Just behind this week is guilty pleasure pop bop Stupid Things from ex-X Factor Four of Diamonds, whose previous track managed a #40 peak for me. This one's a litle trashy but very addictive. From stupid things to Little Things, Allie X is just behind that, and it's another Ally just behind there as Gaga's Shallow, performed as Ally from A Star Is Born ascends into this week's top 5, becoming Gags's highest peaker since her last single Joanne.

Highest new entry this week goes to indie band Alpines, who managed another entry earlier in the year following me seeing them support Goldfrapp near the tail end of 2017. Some of you with strong memories might also recall them as the feature act on Sub Focus's breakout hit Tidal Wave. Just behind them this week is a surprising name, Fatman Scoop, with a catchy street dance track and a trio of guests; on a whim I looked him up after looking through a bunch of early 00s acts and discovered this wee gem. Other newies this week come spread throughout the 40, from Blackpink, Post Malone, Little Mix, Naliya, Dinah Jane (just pipping Normani to the post to be the second 5Her to chart with a solo song), Lady Antebellum, Pabllo Vittar, M.O, Major Lazer with Tove Lo, and Lil Wayne.
