Doctor Blind Chart - 3rd July 2022

Ireland's Fontaines D.C. chalk up a fifth consecutive week atop my chart, but they look under immediate threat from fellow Glastonbury performer KH (aka Four Tet) who moves up 4-2 with “Looking At Your Pager”. “I Love You” is the currently the joint-longest runner at #1 this decade along with Leon Vynehall's “An Exhale” (2021), Páula, Povoa & Jerge's “Primavera” (2020) and KennyHoopla's “how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?//” (2020).. no song has managed six weeks since The Horrors' “Something To Remember Me By” back in late 2017.
KH is 44 year-old DJ/music producer Kieran Hebden - who equals his highest ever position on my chart, previously held unchallenged by “Two Thousand and Seventeen” which peaked at No2 in er, 2017.

Seven new entries break into the chart this week: including returns from Gorillaz, Phoebe Bridgers, Empress Of, and NIMMO with debuts for R U Init - a mysterious music, fashion, and art collective inspired by 90s dance music, LF SYSTEM - Scottish DJs Sean Finnigan and Conor Larkman, and Glimji & jamesjamesjames.
