Quote

Dethroned last week by Harry Styles’ American Girls, Rein Me In returns to No.1 for Sam Fender & Olivia Dean, increasing consumption 0.59% week-on-week to 61,422 units (21 7” singles, 979 digital downloads and 60,422 sales-equivalent streams).

Previously No.1 for three weeks, Rein Me In is in its 39th consecutive week in the Top 40 – the deepest into its initial chart run that any song has ever been No.1 – and its 22nd week in the Top 10, the last 12 consecutively. In all its previous weeks at No.1, it actually had lower consumption than Dean’s solo cut, Man I Need, and won out only because the latter had its streaming points halved as it was on ACR.

Rein Me In won fair and square this week, with Man I Need’s unadjusted consumption ebbing to 56,771 units. Man I Need’s adjusted consumption is down too, but the track holds at No.10 (28,725 units), as it extends its run in the Top 10 to 27 weeks. Dean’s So Easy (To Fall In Love) rebounds 7-5 on reduced consumption of 34,491 units, holding down a place in the Top 10 for the 12th time in a row and 22nd time in all. Courtesy of the three titles named, Dean is only the second act in chart history to have three songs spend a minimum of 20 weeks in the Top 10, emulating Ed Sheeran, who completed his hat trick in 2021.

Logging increased consumption for the seventh week in a row, Bella Kay’s Iloveitiloveitiloveit returns to peak, climbing 3-2 (60,233 sales).

Harry Styles had three songs in the Top 5 last week, and scored his fourth No.1 with American Girls. All suffer substantial dips in consumption week-on-week with American Girls retreating to No.3 (46,343 sales), Aperture ebbing 4-6 (31,673 sales) and Ready Steady Go, being the week’s only Top 10 departee, sliding 5-15 (22,898 sales).

Rebounding below their peaks are Stateside (6-4, 37,826 sales) by PinkPantheress, Homewrecker (9-7, 30,941 sales) by Sombr and Lush Life (11-8, 29,212 sales) by Zara Larsson. Fever Dream (8-9, 29,183 sales) by Alex Warren completes the Top 10.

The highest of four new arrivals in the Top 75 is The Visitor (No.11, 27,404 sales), the fourth hit for 20-year-old singer/songwriter Sienna Spiro, whose most successful song, Die On This Hill, peaked at No.9 last November and rebounds 32-29 (12,699 sales) this week, while her No.45 hit Maybe advances 60-52 (8,023 sales).

Six weeks after the title track of his upcoming fourth album, The Great Divide, peaked at No.10, Noah Kahan’s second excerpt from the set Porch Light, debuts at No.19 (19,919 sales), becoming his ninth hit and fifth Top 20 entry.

All I Did Was Dream Of You (No.60, 7,343 sales) is a brand new song from Beabadoobee. It is her fifth hit, and the second for featured guests, Los Angeles alt-pop quartet The Marias.

The final new entry is Doesn’t Just Happen (feat. Dave, No.66, 6,682 sales), a track from James Blake’s new No.3 album, Trying Times. It is the second collaboration between Blake and Dave, following History – a No.9 hit last November, taken from Dave’s 2025 album, The Boy Who Played Harp. Doesn’t Just Happen is Blake’s fifth Top 75 single, and Dave’s 45th.

After entering the Top 20 for the first time last week, powered by the remix featuring Jennie from Blackpink, Dracula climbs for the fourth week in a row for Tame Impala, moving 17-14 (23,527 sales), 24 weeks after debuting at No.42.

Dominic Fike’s viral 2018 song Babydoll pauses at No.13, despite increasing consumption for the 12th week in a row to a best-yet 25,632 units, while his latest single White Keys continues to climb, moving 19-18 (20,986 sales).

Ending its record-breaking stint of five weeks at No.35, Choosin’ Texas elevates to a new peak for Ella Langley, moving to No.33 (111,936 sales). The track is currently No.1 in America.

There are also new peaks for: New Religion (43-41, 9,922 sales) by Bebe Rexha & Faithless and Talk To You (53-44, 8,876 sales) by ANOTR & 54 Ultra.

I Just Might is the introductory single from Bruno Mars’ new album, The Romantic. The track, which debuted at No.6 and peaked at No.5, holds this week at No.12 (26,033 sales). 10 of his singles have charted higher but I Just Might surpasses them all on the radio airplay chart, where it debuted at No.1 in January, and has now spent 10 weeks in a row at the summit. It is the first song to have a double digit run atop the chart since Miley Cyrus’ Flowers in 2023. The only song to spend longer at No.1 in the last decade is Can’t Stop The Feeling!, No.1 for Justin Timberlake for 11 weeks in 2016.

Overall singles consumption is up 1.25% week-on-week to 32,166,470 units, 5.12% above same week 2025 sales of 30,598,496 units. Paid-for sales are down 3.20% week-on-week at 244,784, 0.62% above same week 2025 sales of 243,266.

Harry Styles continues atop the chart, with fourth solo album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally still well ahead of the field, despite its consumption dipping to 26,524 units.

The first album by a British act to spend its first two weeks at No.1 since Lewis Capaldi’s Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent in 2023, it is deeply indebted to streaming, which this week provides 83.56% (22,164 units) of its overall consumption, compared to just 23.15% last week. By the same token, pure sales’ share of the pie dips from 76.85% to 16.44% (2,179 CDs, 1,695 vinyl albums, 40 cassettes and 446 digital downloads). Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally’s overall consumption this week is 85.51% below its first week tally, surpassing the second week fall-offs of his previous solo albums Harry Styles (2017, 62.22%), Fine Line (2019, 61.44%) and Harry’s House (2022, 68.87%).

Styles has now spent eight weeks at No.1 in the 2020s – 2022’s Harry’s House was No.1 for six weeks in four runs at the top) – moving ahead of Lewis Capaldi, Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Dean in that metric to place third for the decade behind Taylor Swift (32 weeks) and Ed Sheeran (10 weeks).

James Blake racked up four Top 10 and five Top 20 albums before sixth album, Playing Robots Into Heaven peaked at No.108 in 2023. Trying Times, his critically-lauded first album in partnership with Los Angeles label Good Boy, surpasses the peak positions of all its predecessors, debuting at No.3 (12,200 sales). The 37-year-old London singer/songwriter’s fifth album, Friends That Break Your Heart, was his highest-charting set hitherto, reaching No.4 in 2021, while his eponymous 2011 debut set, which peaked at No.9 is his most-consumed title with to-date consumption of 98,284 units, with Overgrown (No.8, 2013, 87,414 units) and Assume Form (No.6, 2019, 45,965 units), completing his personal top three.

Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally moves to the top of the year-to-date rankings, with consumption of 209,572 units placing it ahead of Olivia Dean’s The Art Of Loving (208,793 units), the latter album being No.2 for the fifth week in a row, and, and 14th time in total, on consumption of 16,137 units.

Styles’ retention of the crown extends to 12 the number of weeks in a row that a UK act has been No.1, the longest such sequence since 2017, when British acts ruled the chart uninterrupted for 24 weeks. The longest ever run of home rule on the chart was 119 weeks, which occurred between 1963 and 1965, with The Beatles alone contributing 80 of those weeks.

No.2 on debut 55 weeks ago, Canadian singer/songwriter Tate McRae’s third album, So Close To What, returns to the Top 10 after an absence of nine weeks, surging 22-5 (7,429 sales), following the release of a deluxe edition, adding five tracks, including most recent hits Tit For Tat, Anything But Love and Nobody’s Girl. It now hosts eight of her 19 hits.

Released in 2022 and No.1 in 2024, Noah Kahan’s breakthrough third album, Stick Season, jumps 14-10 (5,651 sales) to return to the Top 10 after an absence of 36 weeks, with interest fuelled by the release of Porch Light, the new single from his upcoming fourth album, The Great Divide.

The rest of the Top 10: 50 Years: Don’t Stop (4-4, 8,372 sales) by Fleetwood Mac, The Essential (7-6, 6,813 sales) by Michael Jackson, The Highlights (9-7, 6,694 sales) by The Weeknd, +-=÷× Tour Collection (8-8, 6,627 sales) by Ed Sheeran and You’ll Be Alright Kid (6-9, 6,422 sales) by Alex Warren.

Exiting the Top 10: The Romantic (5-16, 4,778 sales) by Bruno Mars, The Mountain (10-29, 3,341 sales) by Gorillaz and Make-Up Is A Lie (3-190, 1,252 sales) by Morrissey.

Nearly six years after their debut album, Don’t Wait ‘Til Tomorrow, peaked at No.38, Brighton alt-rock trio Yonaka return, with follow-up Until You’re Satisfied opening at No.25 (3,621 sales).

Also new to the Top 75: A Pound Of Feathers (No.37, 2,978 sales), the 10th studio album and 13th charted set by twice disbanded veteran American rock band The Black Crowes, currently a trio comprising 1984 founder members and siblings Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson, and 1997 recruit Sven Pipien; and Into Oblivion (No.48, 2,795 sales), the 12th album and sixth chart entry for American heavy metal band, Lamb Of God.

No.11 on debut 83 weeks ago, 96 Months fell to its lowest-yet placing 14 weeks ago for Calvin Harris, and has engaged in a slow but relentless renaissance ever since, moving 87-86-77-61-59-56-53-52-51-48-44-44-43-39-31. The last of these provides its highest chart placing for 43 weeks, and highest consumption (3,178 units) for 30 weeks. There is no obvious reason for its revival, although Harris’ Release The Pressure collaboration with Kasabian – which is not on the set – has returned him to the singles chart.

Runner-up to charity album Help(2) last week, K-Pop Demon Hunters returns to No.1 on consumption of 6,385 units (335 Yoto cards, 77 digital downloads and 5,973 sales-equivalent streams). It is the album’s 37th week at No.1 since its release 39 weeks ago.

Overall album sales are down 4.43% week-on-week at 2,553,326 units, 2.04% above same week 2025 sales of 2,502,387. Physical product accounts for 272,433 sales, 10.67% of the total.

Sales are in!

Omg how unlucky for Bebe Rexha!!!

I hope somehow manages at least a week in Top 40!!!

oh phew that Rein Me In is finally a legitimate #1 hit then

Back to pitiful sales on the compilation chart

Interesting that it only takes 10k sales for a top 40 hit atm

RMI finally being the true number 1 then and it would of won streaming alone shame for Bella

Ooh harry did do just enough to be YTD number 1 afterall then wonder if Olivia can claw it back

I guess there's a silver lining in Sam Fender genuinely having the biggest song in the UK then ❤️

Bella only 189 away from Rein me in on streaming! Hopefully thats all the physicals for rein me in now and Bella could close that gap

Landslide looks as though it probably has slightly increased sales, but is it enough to beat the 1.25% increase of the market? I haven’t checked yet whether Rein Me In had an increase in streaming sales.

Oh wow the gap from the top 2 to the rest of the top 10 takes a steep dive

What are the other "starred-out" positions of Stykes' KATTDO?

Market increase is irrelevant.

Moves relative to the market only applies when the market decreases I believe.

I think that is a sales increase for Rein Me In. Love this track.

They only tend to give that sort of information out on the first week or when another song replaces a different track as the 3rd charting track

At this rate, "Rein Me In" will be the first song to spend an entire year without going to ACR.

So close for Bebe, hopefully next week.

one can only have a guess based on the published streaming charts. The only other that would be top 20 is 'Taste Back' which I'd estimate at #19, then the rest of the album lower down in the top 40.

From the Music Week Chartpack

Rein Me In - total consumption so far - 1,171,626

As expected James' album ending up #3 and a way behind Olivia but 12.2k is a great debut for him, comfortably his second best ever. And excellent that 'Doesn't Just Happen' stayed in the chart and even climbed a few places from the midweek update - thanks Dave of course but regardless, his highest charter as lead artist since 'Limit To Your Love'.

Ooh at his debut album being quite close to going gold as well... although I assume it's trickling upwards very slowly in general (maybe a little higher than usual currently as he has a new album) so the last 1.7k might take a while.

I'd expect Taste Back to be more-or-less right behind Ready, Steady, Go! in the official chart - it was ahead in the midweeks and only overtaken again by RSG in the final chart so I'd guess there wasn't much in it!

87-86-77-61-59-56-53-52-51-48-44-44-43-39-31 is an intriguing current chart run for 96 Months. Weird that it hasn't fallen once in its last 15 weeks! I wonder what's causing its slow but steady resurgence?
