Keyshia Cole - (When You Gonna) Give It Up to Me33 11,913 Bella Kay - The Sick35 11,697 Ella Langley - Choosin' Texas43 9,379 Bebe Rexha & Faithless - New Religion44 9,050 Don Toliver - E8549 8,148 Bella Kay - Steady QuoteSix weeks after topping the chart with Aperture – the first hit from his new album Kiss All The Time: Disco, Occasionally (KATTDO) – Harry Styles returns to No.1 with American Girls.Debuting in pole position on consumption of 64,056 units (2,742 digital downloads and 61,314 sales-equivalent streams), it also features on KATTDO, which simultaneously debuts atop the album chart.It is the second time that Styles has done the coveted double of having the No.1 single and album simultaneously, having previously done so in 2022 with As It Was and Harry’s House.KATTDO is the first album by Styles to spawn two No.1 singles, and is his fourth solo No.1 in all, in addition to the five he scored as a member of One Direction.In early sales flashes it looked as though KATTDO might supply all of this week’s Top 3 singles – something Harry’s House managed – but after initially looking set to be runner-up, the resurgent Aperture moves 10-4 (46,915 sales), while Ready, Steady, Go!, which was on course for No.3, debuts at No.5 (40,288 sales).Styles has now had 19 solo chart entries to go with the 29 he scored as a member of One Direction – but were it not for the primary artist rule that restricts him (and anyone else) to having only three simultaneous hits, each of the other nine songs on KATTDO would be charting. For the record, they are ‘starred-out’ between No.6 and No.13, whilst on the Top 200 tracks chart, the lowest placed of the 12 KATTDO is No.27. Aside from those allocated Top 75 positions, the top tracks are: Taste Back (38,939 sales), Are You Listening Yet (36,946 sales) and Coming Up Roses (36,007 sales).Ousted by Styles after three weeks at No.1, Rein Me In slips to No.2 (61,059 sales) for Sam Fender & Olivia Dean, while the latter’s Top 10 solo hits are also buffeted: So Easy (To Fall In Love) recedes 5-7 (36,061 sales) while Man I Need dips 8-10.On ACR for the 20th time in its 30-week chart tenure, Man I Need by Olivia Dean has adjusted consumption of 29,448 units. On the unadjusted Top 200 Combined Tracks chart – where it doesn’t have its streaming points halved – the track has spent 11 weeks at No.1 but this week dips to No.3 (58,134 sales). Man I Need has now spent 26 weeks in the Top 10, more than all but 10 other songs in chart history, even though only the first 10 of those weeks were in its pre-ACR era.Bella Kay’s Iloveitiloveitilovet eases 2-3 but is really still growing, increasing consumption 24.84% week-on-week to 56,337 units. It continues to spearhead her triple chart assault, which also sees rises for The Sick (41-33, 11,913 sales) and Steady (63-49, 8,148 sales).The rest of the Top 10: Stateside (4-6, 40,214 sales) by PinkPantheress, Fever Dream (3-8, 32,516 sales) by Alex Warren and Homewrecker (7-9, 31,233 sales) by Sombr.Exiting the Top 10 are Lush Life (9-11, 29,167 sales) by Zara Larsson and I Just Might (6-12, 28,126 sales) by Bruno Mars.Powered by a sample from jointly-credited Faithless’ 1995/1996/2005 smash Insomnia, New Religion (No.43, 9,379 sales) is the first single from American singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha’s upcoming fourth album, Dirty Blonde. Her 14th hit, it is the first on which she has had top billing since 2019. It is Faithless’ 20th hit and the first addition to their tally since 2010.Also new to the chart: Talk To You (No.53, 7,916 sales), the second hit for ANOTR (Amsterdam DJ duo Jesse Van Der Heijden as Piotr and Oguzhan Guney as Zhan), and the first for their American collaborator John Anthony Rodriguez as 54 Ultra; and God Was Showing Off (No.67, 6,395 sales), the 33rd hit for Bruno Mars.Dominic Fike’s viral 2018 song Babydoll (14-13, 23,697 sales) and latest single White Keys (27-19, 18,730 sales) again reach new peaks.Already his biggest hit, having reached No.21 last November, Dracula has risen dramatically from the dead for Tame Impala. Improving its chart placing for the fifth time in six weeks, thanks largely to the popularity of the remix featuring Jennie from Blackpink, which came out last month, the song reaches a new high, climbing 22-17 (19,732 sales). It is his first Top 20 hit, coming almost 18 years after Half Full Glass Of Wine secured his first UK sales, and six years after his chart debut, Breathe Deep.In the sixth week of its viral re-emergence, (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me surpasses its original 2006 No.31 peak for Sean Paul feat. Keyshia Cole, rising 33-30 (12,578 sales).There is also a new peak for E85 (50-44, 9,050 sales) by Don Toliver.The TikTok-powered resurgence of Madonna’s 1985 No.1, Into The Groove, gathers pace, with the track surging 40-18 (18,916 sales).Ella Langley is stuck. The 26-year-old country singer from Alabama’s first Top 40 hit, Choosin’ Texas, climbed 38-35 last month – and hasn’t moved since. In the whole of chart history, no song has spent more than three weeks in a row at No.35, but Choosin’ Texas has now occupied that slot for five straight weeks having climbed for the five before that. No song outside the Top 5 has ever been static for longer. Although at a standstill, consumption of Choosin’ Texas continues to grow, rising 4.54% to a best-yet 11,697 units in its latest frame.Overall singles consumption is up 0.14% week-on-week to 31,767,785 units, 3.64% above same week 2025 sales of 30,652,612 units. Paid-for sales are down 6.21% week-on-week at 252,882, 0.41% below same week 2025 sales of 253,921.Albums01 183,045 Harry Styles - Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

It is the second highest weekly vinyl sale achieved by any album this century, trailing only the 125,592 copies that The Life Of A Showgirl racked up on its debut last year (and beating Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department by just three).Instantly becoming the 58th biggest-selling album on vinyl in the 21st century, KATTDO nevertheless trails Styles’ earlier albums Harry’s House (23rd with 110,513 units) and Fine Line (34th with 88.982 units) but leapfrogs his eponymous debut (72nd with 60,697 units).The 32-year-old from Worcestershire’s third No.1 album as a solo artist – and seventh in total, including four as a member of One Direction – KATTDO far surpasses the first week sales of all of his solo previous solo albums. Harry’s House opened at No.1 in May 2022 with 113,812 units; Fine Line sold 49,082 copies debuting at No.3 in December 2019; and his self-titled debut sold 56,630 copies debuting at No.1 in May 2017.The only album by One Direction to have a higher opening was their third, Midnight Memories, which sold 237,338 copies on debut in November 2013. With KATTDO, Styles moves ahead of former bandmates Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, who each have two solo No.1 albums (Zayn Malik has one, and the late Liam Payne none). KATTDO’s coronation comes just six weeks after Tomlinson’s How Did I Get Here? – but with 544.16% higher consumption.KATTDO provides three of the top five tracks on the singles chart this week, and its release has also boosted Styles’ earlier solo albums, with Harry’s House advancing 72-31 (3,292 sales), Fine Line jumping 80-44 (2,885 sales) and Harry Styles re-entering at No.136 (1,562 sales). Fine Line’s cumulative consumption now stands at 1,050,182 units with Harry’s House on 957,117 and Harry Styles on 634,707.Thirty-eight years to the week since he released his chart-topping debut solo album Viva Hate, Smiths alumnus Morrissey scores his 14th consecutive Top 10 solo studio set with Make-Up Is A Lie, debuting at No.3 (8,593 sales). Including compilations and live sets, it is the 16th Top 10 and 22nd Top 75 album for the dour 66-year-old Mancunian, who also has nine Top 10 albums and 14 Top 75 albums with The Smiths.The rest of the Top 10: 50 Years: Don’t Stop (6-4, 8,158 sales) by Fleetwood Mac, The Romantic (3-5, 7,368 sales) by Bruno Mars, You’ll Be Alright Kid (7-6, 6,896 sales) by Alex Warren, The Essential (8-7, 6,761 sales) by Michael Jackson, +-=÷× Tour Collection (10-8, 6,473 sales) by Ed Sheeran, The Highlights (9-9, 6,433 sales) by The Weeknd and The Mountain (1-10, 5,622 sales) by Gorillaz.Departing the Top 10: Fancy That (5-87, 2,065 sales) by PinkPantheress and Nothing’s About To Happen To Me (4-116, 1,749 sales) by Mitski.While Morrissey has reached the Top 10 with all 14 of his studio album, Squeeze have yet to reach it with any of their 16 studio albums – although they have done so three times with compilations. They came very close this week, with latest set, Trixies, at No.4 in early sales flashes and remaining in the Top 10 until Thursday but ultimately debuting at No.15 (5,085 sales). The 18th Top 75 album for the melodic rock band, and the follow-up to The Knowledge, which reached No.25 in 2017, Trixies consists entirely of songs co-written by the band’s co-founders and only remaining original members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook just before their 1974 formation. Nineteen and 16 at the time, they are now 71 and 68, respectively.Although they reached No.1 on the OCC’s folk chart and were critically acclaimed, Katherine Priddy’s first two albums fell short of the Top 75. Her third, These Frightening Machines – helped by Radio Two plays for Matches, Hurricane and (almost) title track Frightening Machines – emphatically tops the folk chart but also opens at No.21 (4,288 sales) on the main album chart. The 31-year-old, originally from Birmingham, previously released The Eternal Rocks Beneath in 2021 and The Pendulum Swing – which reached No.90 – in 2024.Performing in Birmingham tonight (March 13), and Manchester next week after rave reviews for his four-night residency at The O2, Dave returns to the Top 75 with latest album, The Boy Who Played Harp – which debuted at No.1 19 weeks ago – surging 108-33, achieving its highest chart placing for 16 weeks, with consumption rising 61.77% week-on-week to 3,198 units.No.1 for 36 of its previous 37 weeks in the chart, and for each of the last 14, K-Pop Demon Hunters has to settle for runners-up position on the compilation chart this week, with its consumption of 6,436 units being well beaten by War Child charity album Help(2), which opens atop the list on consumption of 18,491 units (4,830 CDs, 10,964 vinyl albums, 770 digital downloads and 1,927 sales-equivalent streams). Consisting of 23 tracks from the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Damon Albarn, Fontaines DC, Wet Leg and Olivia Rodrigo, Help(2) is a successor to the original War Child compilation Help, which topped the compilation chart on first week sales of 48,116 copies in 1995, and has cumulative consumption of 182,670 units.Overall album sales are up 3.25% week-on-week at 2,671,789 units, 4.23% above same week 2025 sales of 2,563,451.
