However, after achieving consumption in excess of 59,000 units for 13 weeks in a row, the track – which has been in the Top 10 for all but one its 20 weeks on release – has become the first song by Warren to achieve consumption of a million units. Already the No.1 song of 2025, it ends the week on 1,039,519 units, becoming the 540th most-consumed song of the 2020s and the 1,555th most-consumed of the 21st century.Catapulting 17-5 (33,488 sales). Dior becomes the third Top 10 hit for MK and the second for Chrystal. It is now the highest-charting of 10 hits by MK – 52-year-old DJ, producer and musician Marc Kinchen, who made his chart debut more than 30 years ago, with Alana collaboration Always in February 1995. Its consumption increasing for the third week in a row – up 7.42% to a personal best of 40,375 units – Love Me Not nevertheless remains rooted at No.3, a place below its peak, for Ravyn Lenae.The rest of the Top 10: Pink Pony Club (4-4, 34,732 sales) by Chappell Roan, Family Matters (6-6, 29,558 sales) by Skye Newman, Undressed (5-7, 29,553 sales) by Sombr, Blessings (8-8, 27,586 sales) by Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas, Sapphire (9-9, 27,539 sales) by Ed Sheeran and Back To Friends (7-10, 27,337 sales) by Sombr.After 10 weeks in the Top 10, Azizam slips 10-11 (26,304 sales) for Ed Sheeran.With all of its members due to have completed their compulsory military service by the end of the month, rumours abound that K-Pop giants BTS will return to recording and touring imminently. Meanwhile, band member J-Hope, who completed his military service last October, has the highest of seven new entries to the Top 75 this week, as Killin’ It Girl debuts at No.30 (12,453 sales). The highest-charting of the 31-year-old South Korean’s six hits away from BTS, the track is a collaboration with GloRilla, becoming the 25-year-old American’s first hit. J-Hope has now had more hits away from BTS than any of his colleagues – Jin has had five, Jimin has had four, V and Junk Kook have both had three, Suga has had two (one of them as Agust D) and RM has had one. That’s a grand total of 24 from extracurricular activities – three more than the 21 achieved by BTS, all of which charted between 2017 and the band going on hiatus in 2023. Almost exactly 25 years after it was released as a track on their debut album Parachutes, Coldplay deep cut Sparks becomes their 38th hit, debuting at No.40 (10,064 sales). The song was boosted by the viral success of a video of Coldplay performing the track at a gig in Las Vegas a fortnight ago, and speculation about lead singer Chris Martin’s relationship status with actress Dakota Johnson. Sparks’ to-date consumption of 954,574 units makes it the band’s 15th most-consumed track, despite the fact it was never a single, and didn’t register a ‘sale’ until OCC started to count streams in 2004. To think that Sparks was Coldplay’s most-consumed track in the last week would be an error, however – on the Top 200 Combined Tracks chart, where their ACR status is not an issue, their unadjusted consumption sees higher ranks for Viva La Vida (65-62, 12,008 units), Yellow (74-64, 11,559 units) and The Scientist (73-68, 11,402 units). As Olivia Dean’s latest and highest-charting single, Nice To Each Other climbs 18-16 (21,693 sales), it is joined in the Top 75 by her 2023 single Dive (87-74, 7,080 sales). Her fourth charted track, Dive is Dean’s second most-consumed title, with a to-date tally of 364,635 units, trailing only the uncharted The Hardest Part (459,900 units). Dean should have another new entry a week hence – her Rein Me In collaboration with Sam Fender was released today (June 20). Also new to the Top 75: The Contract (No.33, 11,370 sales), the first single from American rock duo Twenty One Pilots’ upcoming eighth studio album, Breach, their 11th Top 75 hit, their fourth Top 40 hit and their highest-charting single since 2016; Suzanne (No.34, 11,198 sales), a collaboration between Mark Ronson and Raye, delivering his 21st Top 75 entry and 13th Top 40 hit, her 29th Top 75 entry and 18th Top 40 hit; No Broke Boys (No.37, 10,810 sales), a danced-up remix of a track from Tinashe’s 2024 album Quantum Baby, as perpetrated by Disco Lines, becoming 32-year-old R&B/pop singer Tinashe’s fifth hit, and the first for Disco Lines – 26-year-old American DJ Thadeus Labuszewski; and Holy Blindfold (No.55, 8,216 sales), the 73rd hit for Chris Brown.In a week when few existing hits make significant progress, there are new peaks for: One Thing (19-18, 20,030 sales) by Lola Young, The Glen (26-24, 15,334 sales) by Levi Heron, Take A Sexy Picture Of Me (68-57, 8,087 sales) by CMAT and Back It Up (67-58, 7,979 sales) by Josh Baker & Omar+.The soundtrack to a burgeoning dance challenge on TikTok, Black Eyed Peas’ 2010 No.11 hit Rock That Body increases consumption for the 17th week in a row, and escapes ACR to re-enter the chart at No.35 (11,059 sales). The 15th of 20 hits for the band, it marks their first chart appearance in more than eight years, and increases its career cume to 400,363 units. Overall singles consumption is up 1.64% week-on-week to 31,483,452 units, 8.36% above same week 2024 consumption of 29,055,796 units. Paid-for sales are down 4.06% week-on-week at 276,618, 0.38% above same week 2024 sales of 275,583.Albums01 14,528 James Marriott - Don't Tell the Dog [5,357 CDs, 5,140 vinyl, 316 cassettes, 1,770 downloads, 1,945 streaming]02 10,084 Oasis - Time Flies… 1994-200903 9,461 Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet04 8,392 Ed Sheeran - +-=÷× (Tour Collection)05 7,227 Pulp - More06 7,225 Fleetwood Mac - 50 Years: Don't Stop07 6,303 Charli xcx - BRAT08 5,893 The Weeknd - The Highlights09 5,414 The Cure - Mixes of a Lost World10 4,909 Sam Fender - People Watching11 4,755 Van Morrison - Remembering Now12 4,736 Tate McRae - So Close to What14 4,679 Addison Rae - Addison17 4,361 Lil Tecca - DOPAMINE32 3,712 The Beach Boys - The Very Best of The Beach Boys: Sounds of Summer38 3,394 AJ Tracey - Don't Die Before You're Dead46 2,923 Metallica - Load52 2,698 Taylor Swift - reputation54 2,664 Calum Hood - ORDER chaos ORDER64 2508 Half Man Half Biscuit - All Asimov And No Fresh Air85 2,079 The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds108 1,802 Little Simz - Lotus191 1,316 MARINA - PRINCESS OF POWERxxx 1,152 My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge [+174 sales for the budget chart]Compilations01 3,600 Hamilton [88 CDs, 34 downloads, 3,478 streaming] QuoteEighty-two weeks after his introductory full-length album, Are We There Yet?, debuted and peaked at No.17, indie/pop singer/songwriter James Marriott’s second album, Don’t Tell The Dog, storms to a No.1 debut.Dedicated to his childhood canine, Jasper, the album’s first week consumption of 14,528 units (5,357 CDs, 5,140 12-inch vinyl, 316 cassettes, 1,770 digital downloads and 1,945 sales-equivalent streams) is 185.65% above Are We There Yet?’s first frame of 5,086 units, and is testament to how media-savvy Marriott is.Although it has only spawned one minor Top 75 entry to date – I Don’t Want To Live Like This reached No.67 in February – and none of its tracks have received significant airplay, Don’t Tell The Dog was an immediate success. This is due in no small part to the fact that as well as being a singer/songwriter, Marriott has carved himself a niche as a media personality with 2.03 million followers for his main YouTube channel and a further 230,000 for his music channel, one million TikTok followers, 580,000 X followers, 496,000 Instagram followers and 370,000 Twitch followers.Twenty-eight next month, Marriott - who co-wrote and co-produced every track on Don’t Tell The Dog – is the first recording artist born in Switzerland to have a No.1 album here, although he was raised in Buckinghamshire and now lives in Brighton. Are We There Yet?’s to-date tally is 24,100 units.Helped by a blitz of in-store appearances, Don’t Tell The Dog prevented Oasis’ Time Flies 1994-2009 compilation from reclaiming pole position for the first time since it debuted at the summit 783 weeks ago. Time Flies… catapulted 17-3 nine weeks ago after the release of a newly remastered, 15th anniversary limited quadruple coloured vinyl edition – one album apiece in red, orange, green and blue. Now available in a black vinyl version of that edition, and a new 2 CD equivalent ahead of the band’s reunion ‘Live 25’ tour, which starts in Cardiff two weeks today (July 4), the album surpasses that peak, levitating 14-2 (10,084 sales).Thirty-two weeks after The Cure returned to No.1, with their 14th studio release and first for 16 years, Songs Of A Lost World, an extensive remix collection of songs from the set, Mixes Of A Lost World, debuts at No.9 (5,414 sales), becoming the band’s 13th Top 10 and 26th Top 75 entry.Short n’ Sweet edges up 4-3 (9,461 sales), extending its opening run in the Top 5 to 43 weeks for Sabrina Carpenter, eclipsing the 21st century of 42 weeks, established by Ed Sheeran’s = in 2021/2022. Only three artist albums in all of chart history have spent more consecutive weeks in the Top 5 – Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water (84 weeks, 1970/1971), The Beatles’ Please Please Me (55 weeks, 1963/1964) and Elvis Presley’s soundtrack set, G.I. Blues (44 weeks, 1960/1961). Seven multi-artist soundtrack/cast albums have also spent more consecutive weeks in the Top 5 than Short N’ Sweet, which indisputably holds the record for an album by a female solo artist, surpassing the 41 weeks in a row that previous record holder Shania Twain’s Come On Over spent in the Top 5 in 1999/2000.After headlining the Lido Festival at London’s Victoria Park last Saturday (June 14) and Belsonic 25 in Belfast on Wednesday (18th June), Charli XCX enjoys a third straight week of improved performance for her latest album, Brat, which increases consumption 30.11% week-on-week as it returns to the Top 10 after a four-week gap, moving 13-7 (6,303 sales).Meanwhile, Sam Fender’s recent home city gigs in Newcastle continue to pay dividends, with latest album, People Watching (12-10, 4,909 sales) returning to the Top 10 after a 13-week absence.Pulp’s first album of new material since 2001, More topped the chart last week, and has enough clout to remain in the top tier, dipping 1-5 (7,227 sales).The rest of the Top 10: +-=÷× Tour Collection (5-4, 8,392 sales) by Ed Sheeran, 50 Years: Don’t Stop (6-6, 7,225 sales) by Fleetwood Mac and The Highlights (8-8, 5,893 sales) by The Weeknd.Exiting the Top 10: So Close To What (10-12, 4,736 sales) by Tate McRae Addison (2-14, 4,679 sales) by Addison Rae, Lotus (3-108, 1,802 sales) by Little Simz, Princess Of Power (7-191, 1,316 sales) by Marina and last week’s No.9, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, which departs the Top 200 (1,326 sales) for My Chemical Romance. You will note that although it has more sales than Marina’s album in the latest frame, My Chemical Romance’s album is uncharted. That is because the price of the original 2004 CD release has just dropped, meaning that its 174 sales are deemed ‘budget’ and therefore don’t count towards the main chart.Although only 22, New York rapper Lil Tecca has proved very prolific, releasing two mixtapes and five albums, the latest of which, Dopamine, debuts at No.17 (4,361 sales), becoming his the second-highest of his five Top 75 entries, trailing only the No.15 mark he set with his mixtape, We Love You Tecca in 2019 as a 17-year-old. That set remains by far his most-consumed title, with a to-date tally of 150,711 units.Remembering Now, which debuts at No.11 (4,755 sales), is 79-year-old Van Morrison’s 47th studio album and 53nd chart album, comprising 14 new songs, written and produced solely by the Belfaster (Belfastian?) who is the most prolific chart-maker from Ireland.Also new to the Top 75: Don’t Die Before You’re Dead (No.38, 3,394 sales), the third full-length album by London rapper AJ Tracey, who occupied much higher ground with his self-titled 2019 debut (No.3) and 2021’s Flu Game (No.2); Order Chaos Order (No.54, 2,664 sales), the debut solo album by 29-year-old Australian bass guitarist and singer/songwriter Calum Hood from 5 Seconds Of Summer, whose five studio albums have all made the Top 10, three of them reaching No.1; and All Asimov And No Fresh Air (No.64, 2508 sales), the sixth Top 75 entry for Birkenhead indie veterans Half Man Half Biscuit in a 40-year career.Twenty-nine years to the week since it debuted at No.1 – becoming the second of their three chart-toppers – Metallica’s sixth album, Load, has been released in remastered deluxe box set editions, and surges back onto the chart (No.46, 2,923 sales) for the first time since its initial success.A fortnight ago, Taylor Swift’s acquisition of her back catalogue gave a big boost to her entire oeuvre and resulted in Reputation and 1989 joining her latest studio set, The Tortured Poets Department in the Top 40. Last week, The Tortured Poets Department dipped to No.41, ending a run of 59 consecutive weeks (its entire chart career to that point) in which it had been in the Top 40. 1989 also fell out of the Top 40, leaving only Reputation. That too slips out of the Top 40 this week, falling 38-52 (2,698 sales). It ends a run of 152 weeks – nearly three years – in which at least one Swift album has been in the Top 40.Today (June 20) would have been his 83rd birthday, but legendary Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson – one of the most significant writers and performers of the rock era – died nine days ago. Sales of albums by the group and Wilson’s solo material rocketed as a result, with compilation Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The Beach Boys – a 2003 American release which reached the UK in 2006 – surging 90-32 (3,712 sales) to surpass its original No.46 peak. The Beach Boys’ most iconic album, Pet Sounds – No.2 for three weeks in 1966 – jumps 182-85 (2,079 sales).No.1 on the compilation chart for the second week in a row, and sixth time in all, on consumption of 3,600 units (88 CDs, 34 digital downloads, 3,478 sales-equivalent streams), the Original Broadway Cast album of Hamilton continues to benefit from its principals being reunited for a 10th anniversary performance at the Tony Awards recently.Overall album sales are down 0.90% week-on-week at 2,509,996 units, 6.54% above same week 2024 sales of 2,355,996. Physical product accounts for 247,040 sales, 9.84% of the total.Bonus InformationSingle Totals459,900 Olivia Dean - The Hardest PartAlbum Totals150,711 Lil Tecca - We Love You Tecca24,100 James Marriott - Are We There Yet?Notes- Sales can appear at any time, so please bear with us, we're doing our best to get the report + breakdown up as quickly as possible.- If you have any sales information to share, please back it up with a source.- Please don't ask us for any other sales info - if it's not in the report, we don't have it!- The mods reserve the right to delete any posts that are deemed inappropriate or inflammatory.

Friday at 18:223 days 3-2-38 for AJ Tracey’s studio albums is quite a shock - wonder where the listeners have all gone? I’m not expecting much from Aitch’s album out this week either.
