Rag'n'Bone Man - Nights Like These QuoteRacking up a further 10.12% increase in consumption to 65,464 units (1,939 digital downloads and 63,525 sales-equivalent streams), Golden is No.1 for the third week in a row and fourth time in total for Huntr/X, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami & K-pop Demon Hunters Cast. That is the highest consumption recorded by any track for eight weeks.The two other songs from the Netflix movie soundtrack – Saja Boys, Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, samUIL Lee & KPop Demon Hunters Cast’s Soda Pop (3-4, 35,929 sales) and Your Idol (6-6, 32,285 sales) – also maintain growing consumption and a strong presence.However, the artist of the week is Olivia Dean, whose latest hit, Man I Need, sprints 8-2, with consumption soaring 54.46% to 43,464 units – exactly 22,000 fewer than Golden - in its second frame. Dean’s Nice To Each Other also reaches a new peak, moving 9-7 (29,454 sales) while Sam Fender collaboration Rein Me In returns to the Top 10 (11-10, 25,027 sales). Another Dean song, Lady Lady – which peaked at No.38 last week – is now ‘starred-out’ of the chart (9,132 sales) as it is overtaken by her 2023 cut Dive, which was itself ‘starred-out’ last week, but is now No.31 (11,610 sales), surpassing its previous peak of No.59. Dean’s most-consumed song, 2020 single The Hardest Part has never charted, but escapes ACR to be ‘starred-out’ between No.33 and No.34 this week with consumption of 11,408 units raising its all-time tally to 533,442. The rest of the Top 10: No Broke Boys (2-3, 36,754 sales) by Disco Lines & Tinashe, The Subway (4-5, 33,818 sales) by Chappell Roan, Dior (5-8, 28,459 sales) by MK feat. Chrystal and Daisies (7-9, 27,579 sales) by Justin Bieber.Ordinary dips 10-12 (22,674 sales) for Alex Warren, falling to the lowest position of its 28-week chart tenure, although it still ranks at No.2 on the Top 200 Combined Tracks with 44,340 unadjusted units.The first single from Doja Cat’s upcoming fifth album Vie – which arrives on 26 September – Jealous Type debuts at No.13 (18,257 sales), becoming her 11th Top 20 and 25th Top 75 entry. Ineligible formats stymied Stray Cats’ chances of landing their first ever Top 10 album this week but the South Korean octet join the K-pop invasion of the singles chart for the third time in their career, with Ceremony opening at No.37 (10,277 sales). With three K-pop Demon Hunters’ tracks in the Top 10, Jump falling 22-29 (11,628 sales) for Blackpink, Takedown climbing 31-27 (11,816 sales) and Strategy drifting 35-39 (10,178 sales) for Twice, that’s an all-time record of seven concurrent K-pop hits in the Top 40, with a further four K-pop Demon Hunters tracks ‘starred-out’.Forty-five songs by Rihanna have UK consumption in excess of half a million units. The 46th will be Breakin’ Dishes, a deep cut from her 2007 third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, which has gone viral on TikTok as the soundtrack to a Love Island USA clip. It duly debuts this week at No.40 (10,149 sales) after earning a reset, becoming her 50th Top 40 and 62nd Top 75 entry, while increasing its all-time cume to 495,740 units. Also new to the Top 75: No Comment (No.41, 9,969 sales), the 37th hit for rapper Fredo; If He Wanted To, He Would (No.44, 9,387 sales), the fourth solo hit for Perrie (Edwards) to go with her 45 with Little Mix; Everybody Scream (No.57, 7,344 sales), the title track of the upcoming Florence + The Machine album, and her/their 20th hit; and Nights Like These (No.65, 6,869 sales), the 25th hit for Rudimental and the eighth for featured vocalist Rag’N’Bone Man.Reaching a new peak for the fourth week in a row, and creeping ever closer to becoming the third Top 10 hit from his No.10 debut album I Barely Knew Her, Sombr’s latest hit, 12 To 12, climbs 14-11 (23,868 sales).Four dates into their record-breaking 10-night residency at Wembley Stadium on their Music Of The Spheres World Tour, Coldplay have three songs in the Top 75. Twenty-five years after it was released as a track on their debut album Parachutes, deep cut Sparks – which became a viral success, thanks to a video of Coldplay performing the track at a gig in Las Vegas in June – reaches a new peak, climbing 28-22 (13,207 sales). It is joined and overhauled by 2000 No.4 hit Yellow (83-19, 14,159 sales) and 2008 No.1 Viva La Vida (80-20, 13,890 sales), both of which exit ACR. It is Yellow’s first Top 75 appearance for 41 weeks, and Viva La Vida’s first for 45 weeks. Viva La Vida becomes the 28th song to exceed 4m. units in the 21st century (4,008,728 to be precise) and Yellow joins it on six times platinum, with to-date consumption of 3,612,965 units. They remain Coldplay’s top two tracks, while Sparks – now up to 1,061,545 units - ranks 14th. Following her sell-out gigs in Edinburgh earlier this week, Chappell Roan’s Hot To Go! enjoys a 27.56% increase in consumption, and exits ACR, consequently re-entering the Top 40 at No.28 (11,803 sales), its highest position for 41 weeks. Overall singles consumption is down 1.55% week-on-week to 29,420,326 units, 3.68% above same week 2024 consumption of 28,377,234 units. Paid-for sales are up 2.91% week-on-week at 280,890, 11.74% below same week 2024 sales of 318,237.Albums01 30,136 Wolf Alice - The Clearing [9,263 CDs, 13,857 vinyl, 1,941 cassettes, 1,189 downloads, 3,886 streaming]02 15,383 Deftones - private music03 15,228 Laufey - A Matter of Time04 10,087 Oasis - Time Flies... 1994-200905 8,012 Alex Warren - You'll Be Alright, Kid06 7,898 Fleetwood Mac - 50 Years: Don't Stop07 7,583 Kingfishr - Halcyon08 7,577 Pendulum - Inertia09 7,534 Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess10 7,362 sombr - I Barely Know Her11 7,321 Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?12 7,018 Ed Sheeran - +-=÷× (Tour Collection)14 6,746 Royel Otis - hickey15 5,998 Oasis - Definitely Maybe22 4,139 Stray Kids - KARMA [887 vinyl, 348 downloads, 2,904 streaming] [not including 12,639 ineligible CDs]24 3,976 Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT31 3,444 Rudimental - RUDIM3NTAL32 3,443 Tyler, the Creator - Cherry Bomb [total: 53,013]39 3,104 Oasis - Complete Studio Album Collection40 3,099 The Who - Live at the Oval 197147 2,809 Conan Gray - Wishbone72 2,295 JENNIE - Ruby95 1,832 Tom Grennan - Everywhere I Went, Led Me to Where I Didn't Want to Bexxx 479 As December Falls - Everything's on Fire But I'm FineCompilations01 21,762 KPop Demon Hunters [571 downloads, 21,191 streaming] QuoteThere’s an all-new Top 3 on the albums chart for the first time in 10 weeks, but the two other participants in this triumvirate are no match for Wolf Alice, whose fourth album, The Clearing, debuts atop the list on consumption of 30,136 units (9,263 CDs, 13,857 vinyl albums, 1,941 cassettes, 1,189 digital downloads and 3,886 sales-equivalent streams) – the highest for a No.1 album for 17 weeks.The North London indie rock quartet’s major label (Columbia) debut, it consists of 11 new songs, all co-written by the band, including three with producer Greg Kurstin. Comprising 33-year-old lead singer Ellie Rowsell, 34-year-old guitarist Joff Oddie, 33-year-old bassist Theo Ellis and 34-year-old drummer Joel Amey, Wolf Alice previously topped the chat with 2021 release Blue Weekend on first week consumption of 36,182 units, having debuted and peaked at No.2 with 2015 debut My Love Is Cool on consumption of 13,891 units and 2017 follow-up Visions Of A Life on consumption of 19,333 units. My Love Is Cool has gone on to achieve to-date consumption of 203,484, placing it ahead of Blue Weekend (157,691 units) and Visions Of A Life which, despite winning the Mercury Prize, brings up the rear on 121,165 units. However, Don’t Delete The Kisses – a track off Blue Weekend – is by far Wolf Alice’s most-consumed track with to-date consumption of 609,324 units, followed by Bros on 409,681 units and Silk – both from My Love Is Cool - on 200,011 units. Don’t Delete The Kisses went platinum three weeks ago, Bros went gold six weeks ago, and Silk went silver today (29th August). None of these made the Top 75 – the band had to wait until 14 weeks ago to achieve that, with Bloom Baby Bloom reaching No.65.Thirty-seven years after their formation, and 30 years after they released their debut album, Californian alt-metal quartet Deftones achieve the highest chart position of their career, with 10th studio set, Private Music, debuting at No.2 (15,383 sales). It is the 10th chart success and fourth Top 10 album for the band whose 1997 second album, Around The Fur, released on Madonna’s Maverick label, remains their most popular title with to-date consumption of 222,523 units, despite peaking at No.56. Icelandic singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Laufey’s third album, A Matter Of Time, makes a strong start debuting at No.3 (15,228 sales) to become her first Top 10 entry. Laufey’s 2022 debut, Everything I Know About Love remains uncharted but her 2023 follow-up, Bewitched, reached No.13.With no fewer than eight of its 16 tracks having already been released as singles, Irish indie/folk band Kingfishr have built up a significant following, so it is no surprise to find their first album, Halcyon, debuts at No.7 (7,583 sales). The album debuts at No.1 in Ireland for the Limerick lads, where their best-received song, Killeagh, is No.1 on the singles chart for the sixth week in a row, and eighth week in all. Fifteen years after Anglo-Australian drum & bass trio Pendulum’s third album, Immersion, reached No.1, their recording hiatus is over, with Inertia debuting at No.8 (7,577 sales). American singer/songwriter Sombr – 20-year-old New Yorker Shane Boose – single-handedly wrote all of the 10 songs on his first album, I Barely Know Her, which debuts at No.10 (7,362 sales) and includes his Top 40 singles Undressed, Back To Friends, We Never Dated and 12 To 12.In the wake of her sell-out gigs at Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Centre earlier this week, Chappell Roan’s album The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess enjoys a 63.11% surge in consumption week-on-week to 7,534 units, and jumps 16-9, to achieve its highest chart placing for 20 weeks. The rest of the Top 10: Time Flies – 1994-2009 (3-4, 10,087 sales) by Oasis, You’ll Be Alright, Kid (5-5, 8,012 sales) by Alex Warren and 50 Years: Don’t Stop (6-6, 7,898 sales) by Fleetwood MacSecuring a second consecutive week at No.1 has proved impossible for any album so far in 2025, so no one expected it from Tom Grennan. Nevertheless, the 1-95 plunge (1,832 sales) of Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn’t Want To Be far surpasses his previous chart-toppers, Evering Road, which fell 1-15 in 2021 and What Ifs & Maybes, 1-15 in 2023.Also exiting the Top 10: (What’s The Story) Morning Glory (4-11, 7,321 sales) by Oasis, +-=÷× Tour Collection (7-12, 7,018 sales) by Ed Sheeran, Definitely Maybe (9-15, 5,998 sales) by Oasis, Hit Me Hard And Soft (10-24, 3,976 sales) by Billie Eilish, Wishbone (2-47, 2,809 sales) by Conan Gray and Everything’s On Fire, But I’m Fine, No.8 last week for As December Falls but now out of the Top 200 (479 sales). South Korean octet Stray Kids are set to secure their seventh No.1 album in America this weekend, eclipsing the six their K-Pop compatriots BTS have achieved to make them the most successful act from Asia. Their new album, Karma, is projected to sell nearly 300,000 units on its first frame there, making it their fastest selling album to date. Notwithstanding the current success of K-pop Demon Hunters, the genre isn’t as popular here – and it doesn’t help that K-Pop acts and their labels seem quite happy to trade lower UK chart positions for sales of ineligible formats. Such is the case with Karma, which becomes Stray Kids’ fourth chart album here, surpassing its predecessors by debuting at No.22 with eligible consumption of 4,139 units (887 vinyl albums, 348 digital downloads and 2,904 sales-equivalent streams). Four ineligible CD formats sold 12,639 copies which, if added to the eligible sales, would have earned the album a No.2 debut. So far, Stray Kids’ have ineligible UK album sales of 126,080 units. Also new to the Top 75: Hickey (No.14, 6,746 sales), the second album and first chart entry for Australian indie duo Royel Otis; Rud3mental (No.31, 3,444 sales), the fifth and lowest-charting set from Rudimental; Complete Studio Album Collection (No.39, 3,104 sales), a limited edition CD and vinyl set released to celebrate their Live ’25 tour success, that provides Oasis’ 16th album chart entry; and Live At The Oval 1971 (No.40, 3,099 sales), the latest archive release to focus on The Who at the peak of their considerable live prowessFive weeks after his new album, Don’t Tap The Glass reached No.2, Tyler, The Creator is back in the Top 40 – this time with his 2015 No.16 album, Cherry Bomb, which re-enters at No.32 (3,443 sales) after being released in CD and vinyl 10th anniversary editions. It is the first time in either format for the album, which ranks seventh in his canon, with to-date consumption of 53,013 units. Blackpink singer Jennie’s debut solo album, Ruby, which reached No.3 in March, is also on vinyl for the first time, and re-enters at No.72 (2,295 sales) as a result.The soundtrack to Netflix animated fantasy film K-pop Demon Hunters is No.1 on the compilation chart for the 10th week in a row, with consumption rising a further 5.91% week-on-week to 21,762 units (571 digital downloads and 21,191 sales-equivalent streams).Overall album sales are up 0.56% week-on-week to 2,435,567 units, 2.05% above same week 2024 sales of 2,386,560. Physical product accounts for 296,863 sales, 12.19% of the total.

16 hours ago16 hr Another sales increase for "Golden" this week. I think it might be starting to decrease next week, though.
16 hours ago16 hr Perrie debuting at the same position as Plastic Box & IT Girl by JADE? I’d never have expected that!Amazing for her though 🥳.
16 hours ago16 hr Looks like 1976 is gonna be the next 70s yearbook to miss the number 1 spot after 1973 and 1982 is the only 80s yearbook to miss number 1. Demon Hunters could also have an increase in 2 weeks following the release of the CD version next week
16 hours ago16 hr 65k for golden not saying they'll do it again next week but add to the argument that its not gonna be clear cut 2 way battle between olivia and sabrina

I wouldn’t mind them both having turns at the top

15 hours ago15 hr I don't get why OCC resets Coldplay song every time and never any Fleetwood Mac songs?

15 hours ago15 hr Think I’ll name the incorrect assumption that the Spotify #1 is an official #1 contender The Dean Fallacy from now on.
15 hours ago15 hr Author 30 minutes ago, Sour Candy said:I don't get why OCC resets Coldplay song every time and never any Fleetwood Mac songs?Coldplay are on tour so it's just the same as the Oasis tracks (not that I agree with them bending their own rules)
15 hours ago15 hr I would be more willing to accept the Coldplay resets if they’d actually increased 25% which they definitely did not.Should’ve reset Naive as well given the Kooks performed at Reading if we’re just making stuff up like this
14 hours ago14 hr And it's not like they could reach a new peak, whereas Dreams by FM could definitely go higher than #24... oh well
14 hours ago14 hr yes mixed feeling about those resets, yay for Rihanna but the others were unnecessaryand it has a huge detrimental effect as Fredo and Perrie missed the top 40 cos of thatespecially Coldplay, but they shot themselves on the foot as that costed Sparks going top 20wish they were consistent, I'm looking at poor Let Down!!!
14 hours ago14 hr Don't think Perrie missed the top 40 due to resets - if HOT TO GO! hadn't been reset, Good Luck, Babe! probably would've been above Perrie. Either way HOT TO GO!'s reset shouldn't be contentious as it actually got the necessary increase I believe
14 hours ago14 hr well besides Hot to Go there's the 3 Coldplay songs, plus Oasis and Rihanna(although Sparks and Breakin Dishes are deserving resets at least)
14 hours ago14 hr Perries still climbing everywhere (cant tell spotify) so hopefully she'll get in next week instead 🤞
13 hours ago13 hr OCC website, Alex Warren is #09 on Top Album.He's #05 in sales.Hm hm ? What's the deal ?
