It's a 22nd week in a row now at #1 for tracks from Confessions II. Danceteria secures the 5th of those 22 today, as Madonna continues to max out her 3 tracks per album limit within the top 20, as do the wildly contrasting Beatles and Freemasons, albeit with remixes of old stuff. On the horizon, there's not a lot that's screaming there's an incoming takeover...

However, on the albums chart, a changing of the guard could be coming, following the releases of Ashe, Belles and Galantis collections today. For now, it's a 2nd week at the top for the Rubber Soul 2026 editions, which makes it without the boost of additional streaming points per purchased album's track total, adding 82 streams to last week's total to help it enter at the top. Meanwhile, benefitting from 56 similarly acquired equivalent points, on top of 14 traditional track streams, are Pet Shop Boys and friends, with their Alan Turing concept album. The streaming equivalent points are only added to the chart following the week of purchase. Traditional streaming points are based on the 4 weeks to the Thursday night cut-off, this time being the 15th October.
