A milestone for her singles

Her recent singles had short stays at the top, making this extended run stand out even more. It proves she still knows how to create a track that sticks with people.

The album driving the momentum

The hit comes from The Life of a Showgirl, her 14th album to reach No. 1 in the U.K. This puts her side by side with The Rolling Stones for second-most chart-topping albums.

The album blends bold themes with emotional storytelling that fans quickly embraced. Its strong debut helped push “The Fate of Ophelia” higher each week.

Close competition keeps it exciting

HUNTR/X holds the No. 2 spot again with “Golden,” a track that spent ten non-consecutive weeks at No. 1. Their fanbase keeps the pressure on Swift week after week.

RAYE stays steady at No. 3 with “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!”, holding her position for five weeks. The mix of styles at the top adds extra excitement to the chart.

Olivia Dean’s breakout moment

Olivia Dean continues to rise with two songs in the top five as her album gains even more attention. “So Easy (To Fall in Love With Me)” climbs to No. 4 and reaches a new peak.

“Man I Need” takes the No. 5 spot after weeks of strong support. Her voice and storytelling are clearly connecting with a growing audience.

Multiple hits boost Dean’s momentum

Dean also climbs higher with her Sam Fender collaboration “Rein Me In,” now sitting at No. 7. The track continues to gain traction as listeners discover more of her sound.

“A Couple Minutes” reaches No. 13 this week, giving her another boost. Her presence across the chart shows she’s having a standout moment in her career.

Charli xcx makes a bold entry

New voices finding their place

Liverpool rapper EsDeeKid continues to rise with three songs holding strong in the top 40. “Phantom,” “Century,” and “4 Raws” all show impressive staying power.
