Hooray for Raye! Wasn’t sure she’d quite get there.

So weird how The Fate of Ophelia has done so well in the chart but it still feels like a B track for her. 7 weeks at Number one but nowhere near Shake it Off or Blank Space. Weird

OH! Actually very gagged, wasn’t expecting that but so happy Where Is My Husband has finally had its moment at #1. Man I Need, The Fate Of Ophelia and Where Is My Husband were all so dominant at the same time so I’m glad they’ve all had their turns at the top eventually.

So pleased for Raye deserving No.1

This is not a drill...

Zara Larsson - 'Midnight Sun' is a new entry at #91 in today's chart

So Happy for Raye 🥰

Looking forward to Lewis Capaldi to denying Raye a second week with dubious amounts of physicals next week.

I don't really like WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! that much, it's more annoying than anything, but fair play to RAYE, can't say it's not a deserved #1.

'The Fate Of Ophelia' sets a new record climb of 38 places within the Top 40 in a week, but merely equals the biggest move as Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name moved 2-40 the other way at the start of 2010 following its week at #1.

Can't believe a song from September naturally declining and would of gone acr in December naturally has been allowed to reset and go number 1 🤭🤭

Na in all seriousness well done Raye (I'm case anyone thinks I'm wanting Raye and Pro Taylor WIMH was my 5th most played song last week and TFOO I didnt listen too at all 🤣)

As I say every week I'm happy with either being number 1

Yes Raye! That was a nice surprise

Second start-of-the-year #1 for RAYE!

Now lets get Dave on top for a week. The Christmas chart robbed him

First #1 of 2023 and 2026 with Taylor Swift at #2 both times 👀

Have we ever done a “first new #1 of the year” rate before? That would be cool.
