I knew it I knew you I do not remember being named a contender as it came as a complete shock

Apart from christmas time these days due to the dropoff. But generally this is the case.

More dirge from Noah Kahan, nothing exciting or stimulating about his songs.

Noah already has as many Top 40 hits from his current album as the last one with the duet versions added, nice work.

It was mentioned as it had been the previous week's #1! But nobody expected it to actually be a serious contender.

They did mention it as it was the previous week's number one.

Honestly I don't think we've had an exciting a chart show like this in ages...

Noah just racking up the top 40s from this era 🙌🙌🙌

Also fitting blue were number1 with a song called too close in 2001 as this weeks chart is too close to call

Biography

Looking back at her breakthrough successes in the early 2000s, pop singer Natasha Bedingfield knows exactly why her music connected on such a massive scale. As she tells Apple Music, “It had this innocent positivity that comes from real-life situations and sometimes a lot of pain—but going through that and being uplifted.” Born in 1981, the West Sussex native comes by that inspirational power honestly: Among her pre-fame pursuits was writing and singing for the London branch of the Hillsong contemporary-worship empire. But with its shimmering fusion of Alanis’ edgy alt-pop and Lauryn Hill’s empowering R&B, Bedingfield’s 2004 solo debut, Unwritten, refashioned her as secular crossover star, albeit one whose catwalk-ready swagger was undercut by a self-effacing relatability. On her first UK No. 1 hit, “These Words,” she demystifies her own songwriting process in a manner that suggests you should try it too, while the album's dew-sparkled titled track is a rapturous ode to tapping your inner creativity (a message that got somewhat clouded when it became the theme song to MTV’s posh-kid hate-watch The Hills). Bedingfield continued to radiate positivity throughout the decade, via upbeat funky bops like “I Wanna Have Your Babies” and 2008’s self-explanatory “Pocketful of Sunshine.” After taking an extended hiatus—marked by one-off collaborations, TV gigs, and new motherhood—Bedingfield resurfaced with 2019’s Linda Perry-produced Roll With Me, which saw the singer coloring her motivational stories with an expanded musical palette of Caribbean rhythms and old-school ‘60s soul. “When you write a hit song, you can easily get caught in a trap where you’re trying to write songs that everyone will like,” Bedingfield tells Apple Music. “But we’re all in our own lane and we all have to evolve and grow.” - Apple Music

imo the last time it was this exciting was when Djo went to number 1 earlier this year because I was shocked it had enough push right at the end to take the top spot.

Looking forward to the top 10 as it looks like it could be close between a lot of songs - particularly for #1!

Praying Tove lo has been reset and maybe just hasn’t done enough for the top 40 this week? Need need need talking body back

..and possibly in time for the autumn to actually start and schools etc to actually get back in session.

Wonder if 'Mr Brightside' was #41 to complete its 41-100 full house

That means possibly 2 Noah Kahan songs in the top 40.

So its 100% Ella then

Biography

Talk about an unexpected career trajectory. In 2007, 23-year-old Calvin Harris released I Created Disco, a cheeky shot across dance music’s bow that presented him as Scotland’s brow-arched answer to LCD Soundsystem. Fast forward a few years, and the scruffy fellow playing house-party host in the “Merrymaking at My Place” video is suddenly baring oil-slicked abs on Emporio Armani billboards. What happened, of course, is that Harris (born Adam Richard Wiles in 1984) traded up from the Amiga computer of his teens, developed some of the best studio chops in the business with deep-house rollers like 2013’s “Thinking About You”, and helped spark EDM’s pop crossover with hits for Rihanna, Florence Welch, Ellie Goulding and others. Along the way, he became one of the 2010s’ first DJ/producer/songwriter polymaths to earn top billing even on the songs in which he didn’t sing. No stranger to pyro-lit main stages—his percussive, synth-strafed 2014 single “C.U.B.A” is big-room house at its most gargantuan—Harris has resisted getting boxed into any one sound. On 2017’s Funk Wav Bounces, Vol. 1, he lays down a set of slinky R&B jams for Frank Ocean, Migos and Young Thug, while the 2018 singles “Promises”, with Sam Smith, and “One Kiss”, with Dua Lipa, proved just how versatile his vision of pop can be. And for anyone needing more proof, look no further than Harris’ return to the studio with Goulding—“Miracle” and “Free”—both of which appear on 2024’s 96 Months and revel in ’90s trance and breakbeat hardcore vibes. - Apple Music

Sienna Spiro delivers dramatic ballads with poise and a rasp that belie her years. Like many aspiring singers, the London native put in work interpreting songs on social media, and unlike most, her work quickly paid off in a sudden burst of success with original material, including the minor 2024 U.K. hit "Maybe" and the debut EP Sink Now, Swim Later. Visitor, her first album, followed in 2026 with the sweeping Top Ten single "Die on This Hill" among its handful of charting previews. - Apple Music
