Sam Harper & Bobby Harvey - Waterfalls 34 The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go 39 Prince & the Revolution - Purple RainOfficial Charts ReportA three-way battle is on the cards between Taylor Swift, RAYE and Djo for this week’s Number 1. Tay-Tay and The Fate of Ophelia are looking to wrestle back the title and secure an eighth non-consecutive week at the summit (1). But after earning the first Number 1 of 2026, can WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! claim a second week in a row at the top? It currently finds itself at Number 2. However, a shock could be on the cards for both. After re-entering the Top 10 on Friday, Djo and End of Beginning suddenly finds itself battling for the Number 1 crown (3). This is largely thanks to the conclusion of the smash TV show Stranger Things, in which the American actor and singer plays the character Steve Harrington.The highest new entry of the week could come courtesy of English musician and social media star James Marriott with his latest offering, California Rain (5). Securing a Number 1 album in 2025 with Don’t Tell The Dog, this is likely to be the 28-year-old’s debut in the Official Singles Chart Top 40. Girl group KATSEYE are aiming to attain their best performing single to date with Internet Girl (13). A slew of hits thanks to their association with Stranger Things may see significant activity in the Top 40. These include Running Up That Hill from Kate Bush (14), Tiffany’s I Think We’re Alone Now (25), The Clash with Should I Stay or Should I Go (34), which is tracking to make its first appearance for 35 years inside the Top 40 and finally Prince and his classic banger, Purple Rain (39). Sonny Fodera’s popular hit Think About Us featuring D.O.D and Poppy Baskcomb could taste the Top 20 for the first time (20). Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club is eying significant movement up the standings, looking to jump seven places (31) while two tracks looking to pierce the Top 40 consist of Gone Gone Gone from David Guetta featuring Teddy Swims and Tones & I (32) as well as James Hype, Sam Harper and Bobby Harvey with Waterfalls (33).

Sunday at 06:085 days OCC's quest to not reset anything by Fleetwood Mac will continue.It's interesting that there are loads of songs from ST getting a big boost but nothing as dominant as RUTH was (if we exclude End of Beginning which doesn't play in the series).

Sunday at 13:174 days The Running Up That Hill scene in season 4 is arguably the best scene in the entire show, certainly one of the most tense/emotional (to the point that it still features prominently in season 5 because it's part of a character's arc). There isn't a song that gets that significant a placement in season 5 so it's no surprise that nothing's dominating so much.

Sunday at 17:554 days I know it’s not chart related but seeing as Chocolate Salty Balls got skipped on POTP 1999 when it was number 3, then they should skip FONY on POTP 2006 even though it was number 5 then
