Dance to Different Songs

• Third #1 single for American band Ax and the Hatchetmen, led by Axel Ellis.

• For the first time, Ax and the Hatchetmen lock out the top 3, although Axel has achieved this on an individual basis when considering his other band The Runarounds (previously with 2 Runarounds and 1 Ax and the Hatchetmen song, as well as 3 Runarounds songs).

• Across both bands, Axel makes up 12 songs of this week's top 40.

• Stick & Poke, the new Ax and the Hatchetmen EP, arrives at #1 in this week's album chart, meaning both of Axel's bands have achieved the chart double.

• The entire EP's tracklist has made my top 20, including a debut hit for featured artist BAILEN.

Elsewhere this week...

• Madonna's Danceteria returns at #20, having peaked at #8 in its first run, thanks to the Danceteria Afterhours remix with Charli xcx.

• dearALICE arrive at #2 in the album chart with new EP dancefloorKILLA, with new track Drool arriving at #35 in the singles alongside pre-release singles Animal (6-7) and Body On (re-entering at #32). Though it's their first EP to miss #1, it was boosted by their HMV signing that I attended during the week!

Hi there Joseph!

Nice to see the debuts for "Patient Zero" and "Ghost" and the return for "Danceteria".

Great chart!

Take care.

Hi Joseph,

what an Ax and the Hatchetmen invasion. Hope Nicole Kidman can move in the opposite direction next week.

Hey Joseph!

Great to see patient zero enter. A shame it's missed your top 10 but hey ho. I did initially think the song, especially for Taylor swift, was very formulaic. Having seen the video though, it's a very nice contrast to the songs upbeat nature. It's all very hum ho without both together though. The video is a masterpiece though. A literal mini movie.

I don't think ghost is particularly special, unless we're talking about my kitten lol.

Good stuff ♥️
