Lola Young makes it to number one
Lola Young finally makes it to the top of the singles chart with Messy. Robbie Williams has his fifteenth number one album.

A close race at the top of the singles chart. Robbie Williams gains a fifteenth number one album.

There was a tight contest at the top of the singles chart with Lola Young and Rose & Bruno Mars aiming to replace Gracie Abrams. Abrams herself was also in the running.

With Gracie Abrams in third place in Wednesday’s update, she was always likely to miss out on a ninth week at the top, and so it proved. We, therefore, get our first completely new number one since Abrams hit the top last November. That’s So True is down to number three.

The race has been won by Lola Young who gets her first number one single with Messy. It has spent the last three weeks at number three, having been pushed down to number 33 by the flood of festive songs. After last year’s dearth of number one singles by British artists, it is good to see one nice and early this year. We are therefore spared from having the pretty dismal Apt by Rose and Bruno Mars as the number one single. That is at number two again.

Chrystal’s The Days is up one place to number four. It swaps places with Gigi Perez’s Sailor Song which is now at number five.

There are just two new entries this week. One of them isn’t great; the other is worse. The one that at least reaches the heights of “not great” goes by the name of DtMF and has been released under the name of Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny made his chart debut in 2018 as a featured artist on Cardi B’s I Like It. His first hit as a lead artist came later the same year. This is only his second hit as the lead artist. The title may, but probably doesn’t, stand for Dance The Morning Fandango.

That brings us to the worse of the two new entries. Sadly, another Central Cee track has been inflicted on us and GBP, which features the equally dismal 21 Savage, enters at number six. Let’s hope this isn’t the first of a series of singles named after the international abbreviations for currencies.

The race at the top of the albums chart wasn’t even slightly close with a new Robbie Williams collection finishing well ahead of all competitors.Better Man is the soundtrack album from the film of the same name, a biopic in which Williams is played by a CGI-generated monkey. Obviously.

The soundtrack album contains a mixture of rerecorded versions of some of Robbie Williams’ solo hits with featured vocalists, a Take That song (Relight My Fire) and some songs written specifically for the film. It becomes Williams’ fifteenth number one album. His combined total of 22 number one singles and albums (excluding those with Take That) match the numbers achieved by Ed Sheeran, Eminem, the Rolling Stones and, erm, Westlife. Only Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Madonna have had more. Those number ones have occupied the top spot for 49 weeks, putting him twelfth on the all-time list. For the third time this month, thanks to Colin for that information.

Better Man is not the only biopic about a musician in cinemas at the moment. A Complete Unknown, starring Timothee Chalamet as a young Bob Dylan, is also doing the rounds. That has helped a 2013 collection The Very Best Of Bob Dylan return to the chart at number 30.

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short ‘n’ Sweet is at number two for a sixteenth week. Gracie Abrams’ The Secret Of Us jumps eleven places to number three. Sza’s SOS stays at number four and The Weeknd’s Highlights collection is back up to number five.

While Robbie Williams is still able to have number one albums, David Gray's most successful years are long behind him. His first hit (and fourth release) album White Ladder, released in 2000, spent two weeks at number one the following year. It was in the top ten for a total of 40 weeks and spent 124 weeks in the top forty. His thirteenth studio album enters at number 25 and will probably be well outside the top forty next week.

Mac Miller gets a second posthumous top forty album with Balloonerism at number sixteen.
