Two more tracks from HIT ME HARD AND SOFT could also impact the Top 10; CHIHIRO (7) and BIRDS OF A FEATHER (8). Billie last hit the top of the Official Singles Chart last year, with What Was I Made For? from the Barbie soundtrack. It was her second UK Number 1 single, following Bond anthem No Time To Die. But Billie and Sabrina aren’t alone in the race for Number 1 this week! Post Malone & Morgan Wallen, just missing out last week are still in the mix with I Had Some Help (3), as is Shaboozey and his breakthrough hit A Bar Song (Tipsy) (4).

May 18, 20241 yr It’s espresso vs lunch :lol: would like another new #1 and it’s a good song but wouldn’t mind Sab getting a month at #1.

May 19, 20241 yr Interested to see how Zayn’s album does this week, I’m surprised his label went up against Billie as with all the variants, signed copies, instore event at Banquet (which went ahead today after yesterdays cancellation) etc., it seems as though they were pushing for a #1.
May 19, 20241 yr 17 David Guetta & OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait 16 Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With a Broken Heart
May 19, 20241 yr This was my favourite from the Billie album when I listened earlier, the album was decent on the whole (certainly a step up from what I heard of the last album anyway) but this made the strongest first impression by far.
