Congratulations are in order for BTS star Jimin who nets his second Official Top 10 single, this week’s highest new entry, and a solo career-best, with Who (4). Last year, the K-pop idol scored his first solo Top 10 entry with Like Crazy (8).
But Sabrina Carpenter’s Please Please Please makes it four non-consecutive weeks atop the Official Singles Chart, as she replaces herself at Number 1 once again.
Displacing her own enduring smash Espresso (9), Sabrina has now occupied the Number 1 spot for a total of 11 weeks in 2024; the most since Olivia Rodrigo spent 14 non-consecutive weeks at the top in 2021 with drivers license (nine weeks) and good 4 u (five weeks).
However, hot on Sabrina Carpenter’s heels is Billie Eilish, whose enduring track BIRDS OF A FEATHER lifts three to Number 2, a new peak for the track, and Chappell Roan, who sees breakout hit Good Luck, Babe! Also reach a new peak of Number 3. Further down, the Missouri-born pop auteur claims a further two Singles Chart peaks: Hot To Go! rises eight to enter the Top 20 for the first time (19), and Red Wine Supernova rebounds nine (39).
Myles Smith’s Stargazing (5) enjoys a brand-new peak, entering the Top 5 for the first time.
Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall (now known by the mononym JADE) celebrates her debut single Angel Of My Dreams (7) entering straight into the Top 10. Angel Of My Dreams, co-written and produced by RAYE collaborator Mike Sabbath, is the last debut solo release from the Little Mix camp, following Leigh-Anne’s 2023 introduction Don’t Say Love (11) and Perrie’s Forget About Us (10).
BL3SS, CamrinWatsin and bbyclose’s dance banger Kisses breaks into the Top 20 for the first time this week, up nine (13). Could the track go on to become one of 2024’s Songs of the Summer?
Benson Boone sees two tracks rebound, with both Slow It Down (14) and former chart-topper Beautiful Things (18) lifting four; with Slow It Down’s position marking a new peak. Belfast breakout talent Jordan Adetunji’s KEHLANI secures him his first-ever Official Top 20 single this week, rising four to a new peak (17).
With ‘BRAT summer’ well underway, two Charli xcx tracks scale the Singles Chart this week: 360 climbs 11 to a new peak (18), as viral hit Apple vaults 19 to become Charli’s 18th Top 40 track to date (23). Do you know the dance yet?
It’s also a brand-new best for Adam Port, Stryv, Orso and Malachiii’s Move this week, with the track leaping 14 places to Number 25.
Following their recent headline show at London’s BST Hyde Park festival, K-pop eight-piece Stray Kids earn their first-ever UK Top 40 single with Chk Chk Boom; a new entry at Number 30.
The Kid LAROI’s viral hit NIGHTS LIKE THIS rebounds one (31), as does Tommy Richman’s DEVIL IS A LIE (34). Floridian singer, rapper and actor Dominic Fike celebrates his second Official Top 40 single in the UK with Misses, up 19 (34). Previously Fike reached Number 3 with 3 Nights, which spent 24 weeks in the Top 40 in 2019.
Eminem claims a landmark 50th Top 40 single with Brand New Dance (38), and finally, Majestic, The Jammin Kid and Céline Dion’s Set My Heart On Fire (I’m Alive x And The Beat Goes On) breaks into the Top 40 for the first time, vaulting 12 (40).
