Eight weeks at the top for Gracie Abrams
Gracie Abrams remains at the top of the singles chart for an eighth non-consecutive week. Chappell Roan climbs back to the top of the albums chart.

Gracie Abrams remains at number one in the singles chart. Chappell Roan returns to the top of the albums chart.

Gracie Abram’s second run at the top of the singles chart enters a third week, giving her a total of eight weeks at the top with That’s So True. The last song to spend exactly eight weeks at the top, again in two separate runs, was Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s Miracle in spring 2023.

Rose and Bruno Mars are still at number two with Apt. Lola Young is still at number three with Messy. Gigi Perez remains at number four with Sailor Song.Chrystal’s The Days moves back up to number five, one week after vacating that slot. Myles Smith’s Nice To Meet You enters the top ten for the first time, at number six. He performed the song on Graham Norton’s show last Friday (10 January).

Once again, new entries are few and far between. Good quality new entries are even more of a rarity.

The highest new entry is rather unusual. Radio 1’s Live Lounge, where artists generally record a version of one of their own songs plus a cover version, has been a feature on that radio station for many years. However, we don’t usually see recordings from that show turn up in the singles chart. It is even more odd to see such a song turn up over a decade after it was recorded. However, that has happened this week. Hozier recorded a version of Arctic Monkeys’ Do I Wanna Know back in September 2014, around the time Take Me To Church gave him his first big hit. It is a new entry this week at number 26.

The next “new” entry is even older. Imogen Heap released Headlock in October 2006 and it spent a week at number 74. It became her second chart hit of 2006, bringing her total number of chart entries to three, seven years after her debut.. Headlock returned to the chart last year and now becomes her first top forty hit at number 37. It has apparently been used in the game Mouthwashing, a game of which I was previously unaware.

At number 34 there is another irritating Disney song in the form of I Always Wanted A Brother, credited to Braelyn Rankins, Theo Somolou, Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jnr. At least they’ve got several people to share the blame for this thing from Mufasa: The Lion King. Still, it’s better than Let It Go.

Singer-songwriter Sam Barber entered the chart at number 46 two weeks ago with Indigo.Last week, it rose just five places, thereby ending up just outside the top forty. This week it is just inside the broadcast chart at number 39. It is Barber’s debut hit and also gives a chart debut to the featured artist Avery Anna. The song isn’t great but I still welcome its appearance in the chart. It allows me to mention that indigo was named by Isaac Newton. When he was working on the separation of white light into the colours of the rainbow, he could have stuck with just six colours. After all, there isn’t a great deal of difference between indigo and blue. However, Newton had a thing about the number seven, so insisted that there should be a separate colour between blue and violet. Who said this commentary wasn’t educational?

Alex Warren returns at number 25 with Carry You Home. It has achieved a new peak, having got to number 32 last autumn.

Chappell Roan returns to the top of the albums chart with The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess. Its sales have been boosted this week by the release of a limited edition vinyl version. The album originally took ten weeks to reach the top ten and finally topped the chart seven weeks later. It hasn’t left the top ten since it got there last June.

Sabrina Carpoenter’s Short ‘n’ Sweet spends a fifteenth week at number two. It has spent the whole of its 21-week chart life in the top three with two of them at number one. Sza’s SOS is at number four while Ed Sheeran’s mathematics Tour Collection is at five.

Franz Ferdinand have the highest new entry with The Human Fear, their first new album since Always Ascending in February 2018. While it doesn't sound as fresh as their earlier work, it maintains their 100% record of top ten albums and gives them a highest chart position since Tonight reached number two in 2009.

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny gets into the top forty albums chart for the fist time with his sixth release DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. The album’s title means I Should Take More Photos, or perhaps i sHOulD tAke MOrE phOtOS.

Brighton punk band Lambrini Girls also make their chart debut, at number sixteen with Who Let The Dogs Out. Thankfully, their highly political album does not contain a cover of “song” by Baha Men. The fact that two of the tracks are called Bad Apple and Filthy Rich Nepo Baby should give an indication of the political stance taken by the band. There are other titles which I would prefer not to repeat here.
