Adele

Thanks Sergej

After a fortnight on top, Pink's trust falls to #2 as Tom Grennan is now here! Sophie Ellis Bextor is still breaking the circle at #3. Arctics climb another 4 places to #4 with Hello You and Jessie Ware climbs 5 to #5 with Pearls. Sam Ryder #6 and Niall Horan #8 both shoot into the top 10, Depeche Mode #11, Alessandra #13, Stephen Sanchez #17 and Inhaler #20 all climb into this week's top 20. Highest new comer is at #15 for The Weeknd with Die For You, not technically a new song but new to me anyway. Mae Stephens makes her debut at #19 with the rather catchy If We Ever Broke Up. Swedish singer Loreen enters at #24 with her potential Eurovision entry Tattoo, coming 11 years after Euphoria. The other 4 new entries are Lizzy McAlpine - Ceilings #32, Griff - Walk #34, Chvrches - Over #36 and Libianca - People #38.

Thanks for your comments. I love Trustfall, definitely a contender for #1 in the next few weeks and is great to see it becoming something of a hit officially. Not generally a fan of Rita but I do like You Only Love Me, could climb further in the coming weeks. Lavender Haze is still great, can see it sticking around for a few more weeks.

Feya Ridings goes to #1 with her brilliant song Weekends, replacing Taylor Swift's Lavender Haze after 3 weeks. Red Flags by Mimi Webb swaps places with Flowers by Miley Cyrus and Pink's Trustfall climbs 5 to #5. Tom Grennan has the highest new entry at #7 with Here, joining You Are Not Alone which is down to #14 in its 7th week. Loren Allred's Rainbow and Sabrina Carpenter's Nonsense rise into the top 10, with Sam & Ed and Darin not far behind. Ellie Goulding gets another hit with her new one Like A Saviour at #17. Arctic Monkeys enter at #24 with their next single Hello You, and last but not least Sugababes come in at #34 with Today.

Thanks for the comments, I’m really liking Taylor’s album and Lavender Haze is one of the highlights for me. Loving Pink’s Trustfall, just as good as Never Gonna Not Dance Again for me. Love Red Flags too, I’ve liked all of Mimi’s singles so far and looking forward to hearing the album.

Taylor Swift stays at #1 for a 3rd week with Lavender Haze, holding Freya Ridings Weekends at #2. Miley Cyrus leaps up to #3 with Flowers, Mimi Webb climbs 2 to #4 and Noel Gallagher climbs 7 to #5 with Easy Now. Pink has the week's highest new entry with Trustfall, as it debuts at #10 to give her another top 10 here. Loren Allred's Rainbow and Sabrina Carpenter's Nonsense are just outside as they climb to #11 and #13 respectively. Sam Smith & Ed Sheeran debut at #19 with Who We Love, this is much better than Sam's last few for me. Rita Ora comes in at #28 with You Only Love Me, again an improvement on her last few for me. The last 3 of this week's 6 new entries are Tom Odell & Aurora Butterflies at #34, Kid Laroi Love Again at #38 and Stephen Sanchez Evangaline at #39.

Thanks Sergej. Liking Can’t Stay Away on first listen this week, likely to be a grower for me I think. Lavender Haze is one of the highlights of Taylor’s album, along with Anti-Hero.

Taylor Swift gets an easy 2nd week at #1 with Lavender Haze. Freya Ridings is all the way up to #2 with her great new song Weekends, whilst last week's 2-4 each slip a place - Tom Grennan, Lewis Capaldi, George Ezra. Mimi Webb's Red Flags and Miley's Flowers shoot up to #6 and #7 respectively. Highest of 10 new entries comes from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds with new single Easy Now at #12.

Taylor Swift claims her 4th #1, as Lavender Laze follows on from Anti-Hero. After 2 weeks on top, Tom Grennan slips to #2 with You Are Not Alone. Lewis Capaldi and George Ezra both also slip a place and Raye's Escapism stays at #5 to complete my top 5. Freya Ridings has the highest new entry as her new single Weekends debuts at #9. SZA's Kill Bill climbs into the top 10, Gabrielle Aplin's Good Enough into top 20 and Peter Gabriel's Panopticom into the top 30 at #25 (biggest climber).

Thanks for your comments, Lavender Haze and Bloody Mary look set to be bug hits for me in the coming weeks.

Tom Grennan gets a fortnight at #1 with the brilliant You're Not Alone. Lewis Capaldi's re-peaks at #2 and to complete a top 3 of nice ballads, George Ezra climbs to #3 with Sweetest Human Being Alive. Sam Ryder clips to #2 with All The Way Over and Raye advances another place to #5 with Escapism. Taylor Swift has the highest new entry with her new single Lavender Haze at #8. Mark Owen and Olly Murs both climb into the top 10, whilst SZA and Lana climb into the top 20. Lady Gaga enters at #19 with her track Bloody Mary, not new but new to me anyway! Shania Twain debuts at #29 with Giddy Up, and Peter Gabriel's comeback track Panopticom comes in at #34. 1 1 3 Tom Grennan - You Are Not Alone 2 3 5 Lewis Capaldi - Pointless 3 10 2 George Ezra - Sweetest Human Being Alive 4 2 8 Sam Ryder - All The Way Over 5 6 6 Raye feat 070 Shake - Escapism 6 4 4 Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Shape I'm Taking 7 9 3 Simple Minds feat Russell Mael - Traffic 8 NE 1 Taylor Swift - Lavender Haze 9 11 4 Mark Owen - Rio 10 12 2 Olly Murs - Hate It When You're Drunk 11 7 7 Cian Ducrot - I'll Be Waiting 12 5 9 Pink - Never Gonna Not Dance Again 13 18 3 The Weeknd - Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength) 14 8 7 Bastille - Family Ties 15 21 4 SZA - Kill Bill 16 13 7 Louis Tomlinson - Silver Tongues 17 16 5 Calum Scott - One More Try 18 25 3 Lana Del Rey - Did You Know There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd 19 NE 1 Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary 20 23 2 FLO - Losing You 21 14 11 Queen - Face It Alone 22 26 2 Whitney Houston & Sam Feldt - Don't Cry For Me 23 15 10 Benson Boone - Before You 24 31 2 Gabrielle Aplin - Good Enough 25 17 9 Avril Lavigne - I'm A Mess 26 30 6 Brooke Combe - Are You With Me? 27 19 8 Florence & The Machine - Dream Girl Evil 28 20 7 Rina Sawayama - Hurricanes 29 NE 1 Shania Twain - Giddy Up 30 22 8 Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbot - I Drove Her Away With My Tears 31 34 2 Gabriels - Angels & Queens 32 24 10 Harry Styles - Music For A Sushi Restaurant 33 27 11 Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero 34 NE 1 Peter Gabriel - Panopticom 35 35 2 Nia Archives - So Tell Me 36 28 8 Louise - Super Magic 37 29 8 Joji - Die For You 38 37 8 Zach Bryan - Something In The Orange 39 32 9 Jvke - Golden Hour 40 33 9 Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Pretty Boy

Thanks JSG, new year was great thanks and hope yours was too. I really like Hate It When You’re Drunk, I know it’s not had the best reaction but it’s just a good fun pop song for me. There’s a new film about Whitney I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Don’t Cry For Me is a previously unreleased track on the soundtrack. There’s been a few new Gabrielle Aplin songs, this is the one I’ve liked the best so far. I loved I Drink Wine when I first heard it last year on the 30 album, slightly less so now. New material would have been better for her,

Here is my year end chart, determined by giving each song in the weekly charts 1 point for a #40 placement to 40 points for a #1 then totalling it up. Harry Styles therefore tops this year end chart with As It Was, one of just 3 songs to have spent 13+ weeks on my chart. Dermot Kennedy's Something To Someone is at #2 and Queen's Face It Alone is at #3. The latter track is still in the weekly chart, as is Ed Sheeran's Celestial at #4.

Thanks for your comments. I actually really like Pointless, I know it’s not been received particularly well for some reason. Escapism has been quite the grower for me, wasn’t keen when I first heard it but loving it now. I believe this one of The Weeknd’s is from the Avatar soundtrack, maybe there’s another actual single coming soon. Perhaps it’s the big long title of Lana’s song putting people off, I’m liking it anyway. 😀

Sam Ryder climbs another place to #1 with All The Way Over from his brilliant debut album. Lewis Capaldi rises to #2 with Pointless. Pink slips from last week's #1 to #3 with Never Gonna Not Dance Again. Sam Smith remains at #4 with festive offering Night Before Christmas. Tom Grennan has the week's highest new entry at #5 with new track You Are Not Alone. Cian Ducrot climbs to #6 with I'll Be Waiting and the Red Hot Chili Peppers climb to #8 with Shape I'm Taking. Raye's Escapism is the week's highest climber, rising 10 to #12. Simple Minds get another top 20 hit with their new track Traffic. The Weeknd's new song (from the Avatar 2 sound track) Nothing Is Lost comes in at #26. Lana Del Rey debuts at #33 with her new track Did You Know There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. Finally, Sarah Connor debuts at #34 with Ring Out The Bells. This is the 4th festive track inside this week's top 40, joining Sam Smith, Cliff Richard and Olly Murs.

Thanks for your comments. Anti-Hero is still great, Face It Alone just had to be #1 this week though as I'm a huge fan of Queen / Freddie Mercury. Ghost Of You is probably my favourite of Mimi Webb's songs so far now, it has been on my chart for a good few weeks though. Same for Kiss Me, probably my favourite of Dermot's now too. I listened to his new album Sonder the other day and loving it too.

Hello JSG! Great chart, still not heard your #1 yet but I do like seeing Rina at #2 and Taylor's Anti-Hero climbing towards the top. Good to see Kiss Me reach your top 10, loving Dermot's new album. Also pleasing to see Forget Me finally make a debut for you, I'm still liking it.

Hi Sergej! Great chart, good to see Taylor get another week at #1 for you. Good to see Paramore at #2, Mimi Webb's Ghost Of You nearly top 10 and Lewis still in your top 20.

There is a new #1 in the form of Queen's Face It Alone, a new archive track featuring Freddie's vocals. Last week's top 3 all drop a place - Taylor Swift #2, Pink #3 and Harry Styles #4. Adele climbs 2 to #5 with I Drink Wine to complete my top 5. Avril Lavigne, Lathums and Noel Gallagher all climb into the top 10, Florence is not far behind with Dream Girl Evil at #11. Highest new entry is the next from Rina Sawayama Hurricanes is in at #19. Sam Ryder, Paul & Jacqui and Louise all climb into the top 20 with their latest tracks. Bastille gets a 7th hit with their Family Ties in at #28. Louis Tomlinson enters at #31 with the surprisingly good Silver Tongues. Cian Ducrot gets his 2nd hit with I'll Be Waiting at #36 and Paul Carrack gets a 5th top 40 hit with Crying Won't Help You at #39.

Hello JSG, Great chart. Not heard your #1 yet, will check it out though. Good to see Ghost Of You and Hold The Girl both doing well, great songs. Nice climb for Anti-Hero, contender for my favourite Taylor Swift song now.

Taylor Swift gets an easy 2nd week on top with the brilliant Anti-Hero. Her closest competition is from Pink who goes up 4 with Never Gonna Not Dance Again, as does Harry Styles with his Music for A Sushi Restaurant to #3. Ed slips 2 to #4 with Celestial and Queen stay at #5 with Face It Alone. Adele gets the week's highest new entry with I Drink Wine at #6, very good if not quite on the level of her other songs. Sigrid, Lathums, Avril, Sam Fender and Noel G are all on the rise this week. Florence & The Machine's new song Dream Girl Evil enters at #19. Paul & Jacqui's latest single enters at #24 this week, a place ahead of All The Way Over by Sam Ryder. Louise makes a return this week with new single super Magic, debuting at #28 this week. US singer songwriter Zach Bryan comes in at #30 with Something In The Orange. Paul Carrack and Joji both complete this week's 8 new entries as they enter at #38 and #39 respectively. 1 1 4 Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero 2 6 2 Pink - Never Gonna Not Dance Again 3 7 3 Harry Styles - Music For A Sushi Restaurant 4 2 7 Ed Sheeran - Celestial 5 5 5 Queen - Face It Alone 6 NE 1 Adele - I Drink Wine 7 10 3 Benson Boone - Before You 8 3 3 Rihanna - Lift Me Up 9 11 4 Sigrid - Blue 10 4 6 Mimi Webb - Ghost Of You 11 16 3 Lathums - Say My Name 12 18 2 Avril Lavigne - I'm A Mess 13 9 5 Tom Walker - The Best Is Yet To Come 14 8 6 George Ezra - Dance All Over Me 15 12 4 Ellie Goulding - Let It Die 16 20 2 Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Pretty Boy 17 23 3 Sam Fender - Wild Grey Ocean 18 13 4 Tom Chaplin - Overshoot 19 NE 1 Florence & The Machine - Dream Girl Evil 20 14 6 Olly Murs - Die Of A Broken Heart 21 22 4 Stephen Sanchez - Until I Found You 22 15 4 Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Drummer 23 27 2 Rhys Lewis - Midnight 24 NE 1 Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbot - I Drove Her Away With My Tears 25 NE 1 Sam Ryder - All The Way Over 26 17 5 Arctic Monkeys - Body Paint 27 19 8 Liam Gallagher - Too Good For Giving Up 28 NE 1 Louise - Super Magic 29 21 10 Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me 30 NE 1 Zach Bryan - Something In The Orange 31 24 5 Inhaler - Love Will Get You There 32 39 2 Stevie Nicks - For What It's Worth 33 36 3 Jvke - Golden Hour 34 26 7 Paramore - This Is Why 35 25 7 Alicia Keys & Lucky Daye - Stay 36 28 8 Sam Tompkins - Lose It All 37 29 7 Bruce Springsteen - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) 38 NE 1 Paul Carrack & SWR Big Band - Crying Won't Help You 39 NE 1 Joji - Die For You 40 32 4 Rosa Linn & Duncan Laurence - Would Do It Again
