This year, Halloween was in the first days of the chart week, but it still spawned lots of chart entries of Halloween related songs, on the impact of those days alone.

Biography

Olivia Rodrigo recognises that the yearning, melancholy aspect of her love songs is key to their intense emotional appeal—beginning with 2021’s weepy smash, “drivers license”. “I think that grounds it in something real,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in 2026, “and that’s why we resonate with those types of songs so much.” Born in 2003 in Murrieta, California, Rodrigo juggled childhood lessons in piano, voice and acting before starring in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and eventually turning to pop music with an abashed passion for seething ’90s alt-rock. Rodrigo was only 18 when she released her debut album, SOUR, a breakup record with a meticulous rage: “Where’s my f***ing teenage dream?” she wondered on “brutal”, the album’s Elastica-recalling opener. GUTS followed in 2023, with Rodrigo and repeat producer/collaborator Dan Nigro placing her pointillistic lyrics in an expanded sonic palette that incorporated influences from off-kilter ’90s acts like The Breeders and B******e Surfers. In the same 2026 interview, she described each of her albums as a journey of self-discovery—including that year’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. Observing that it’s the first album she’d made as a woman in her twenties, Rodrigo hinted at how she traded angst for joy on several tracks. But even then, there should still be enough visceral realism to keep fans poring over every lyrical detail. - Apple Music

Biography

 

When it comes to growing up in public, the man known worldwide as the King of Pop wrote the book. Born in Gary, IN, in 1958, Michael Jackson became the biggest-selling, most broadly beloved singer on the planet, but when he started his career, he was just the kid trying to catch up with his big brothers. In 1964 he started playing percussion in The Jackson Brothers, but by the time they became the Jackson 5 the following year, little Michael was already contributing lead vocals. The group became a Motown hit machine in 1970 with pop-soul smashes like “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” and “I’ll Be There.” Michael’s undeniable vocal charisma made a solo career inevitable, and his began in 1971. He scored a few major hits early on, but he really exploded with 1979’s Off the Wall, a funk-pop-disco marvel that marked Jackson’s full musical maturation. Its 1982 follow-up, Thriller, became a full-blown international phenomenon with mega-singles including “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and the title track, literally becoming the best-selling album ever. Following it wasn’t easy, but Jackson managed to keep his vision alive through four more albums and several more hits over the next two decades, until his passing in 2009. - Apple Music

Having an absolute nightmare today but just checked in - great to see Thriller top 5 for the first time! Also great to see a new peak for Spooky Scary Skeletons.

“Thriller” no longer a contender in Rollo’s ultimate #9 poll in the new year.

4 songs from this 1982 album have made the Top 10 in 2026, with 2 of them reaching new peaks!

Ouch - Thriller was number 2 on Wednesday and ends up number 5.

The top 5 is potentially book-ended with ‘Thriller’ and Miller…!

Turns out that the biopic and albums and singles chart domination this year has proven very successful for the resurgence and reappreciation of MJ's back catalogue.

His estate will be thrilled

This is farcical. Are we going to have to endure this landing between #1 and #5 every year from now on depending which day Halloween falls, because the OCC keep sticking it back on SCR?

Biography

Since debuting her first solo single, 2017’s bumpin’ “Used to It”, Ashe has blended the intimacy of singer/songwriter fare with the electronic swells and glitzy production of 21st-century pop, producing heartfelt, deliriously catchy tunes. Born Ashlyn Rae Wilson in California in 1993, Ashe got started early, putting her childhood piano lessons to good use by crafting songs in her teens and eventually moving on to the Berklee College of Music to master writing and production before heading to Nashville. Her path to a solo career began with guest spots on dance tracks, using her dreamy, nimble voice to fill out the rhythms conjured by producers like Ben Phipps and Louis The Child. But “Used to It” established Ashe as a stand-alone force, and the darker tones of follow-up single “Girl Who Cried Wolf” expanded on her sound by combining analogue elements like acoustic guitar with the electronic buzz of fat synthesisers. Her first EP, 2018’s The Rabbit Hole, dove further into the possibilities of that organic pop sound as Ashe continued to address heartbreak, big love and the strangeness of life. She was thrust into the chart spotlight in 2020 as her dramatic, rousing divorce anthem “Moral of the Story” was placed in the teen romantic comedy To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You and became a TikTok sensation. - Apple Music
