The final lap of the 2026 tracking year begins. A few songs that became hits earlier this year start to panic and rack up as much chart power as possible in order to give them enough strength for the upcoming Year of Champions this December. There would have been more if not for early album impact from Madds Buckley.

Great chart!
Take care.

Hi Oliver,

my favourite song in your Top 10 is Test My Luck.

Hey Oliver!

Nice to see Cleveland! enter for you. It's grown on me quite a lot.

I think pink clouding is now my elsst favourite for the four tracks actually, which is crazy considering it started as my second favourite.

Stop the wedding is good, I just need to get it on my chart now lol.

A nice break into the top 5 for too cute to be lonely. It's such an appropriate name considering how cute the song sounds.

It's also fab to see expectations debut in your top 3. #1 next week? Wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Fab stuff 🥳

Hey Oliver! :)

I already gave some thoughts in our Discord DMs, but good to see 'Expectations' as the highest new entry. I'm pleasantly surprised that 'Let's Groove Tonight' made the Top 10 alongside it! Hopefully 'Salt In The Wound' & 'Bass Persuades' can both get there in the weeks ahead.

Good chart!
