The only other new entry on Apple so far is RAYE at #36.

But being released at 5pm essentially tea time uk (yes im northern its tea not dinner🤣) Surely people wouldn't even notice, but its been added to playlist today

True, if you didn’t follow him on socials you probably wouldn’t know, NMF and HHUK add today will help. (Also I’m Scottish and I call it tea time as well🤣)

We'll see what tricks Lewis' team has in their sleeves this week.

Tbf with Spotify against a lot of non American artists it just makes up for that lack of support.

Do you just have a cuppa 😂?

Why bother releasing on a Thursday? Kinda seems pointless

Something I noticed is that Lewis' social media didn't post about the song being out until midnight UK time.

Big climb for Lewis then - when I last looked about half a hour ago, he was 121, and RAYE wasn't even there

Lewis is also at #29 on Amazon currently, really good start there as well

I can see Raye's song doing pretty well... but then I thought the same about 'Genesis' so what do I know!

Lewis will no doubt be pulling out all the stops to get another number one, let's see if he can take on the KPop juggernaut.

To be fair i dont even think Raye / her tesm expected Genesis to be that big of a hit, given it is a seven minute jazz song with only part 2 of it being somewhat commercially viable. Think that was more of a blank check post brits to display her artistry and honestly it doing as well as it did was a minor miracle and a testament to her x factor. I literally cannot see another artist outside of the tier 1 superstars even trying something like that.

Anything on the new long awaited Cardi b sophomore album yet. It’s already #4 on Apple UK but none of the individual tracks seems to have charted yet.

But the fact that that part 2 was a specifically created edit told me that they were going for a commercial hit! It didn't do badly of course but I thought after her Brits sweep up, it would have been massive even if not overly commercial. I guess this new single will be the test of whether she has maintained that momentum or not.

Lewis #23 and RAYE #24 on Apple now. Cardi - Safe showing up at #190!

One of my top 10 Taylor songs and my 2nd favourite from this album! WHAT A SONG! OMG.

'Man I Need' gets the highest weekly Spotify figure of the year, beating its total from last week.
