Sabrina Carpenter licks her lips for third week at Number 1 with 'Taste'

Sabrina Carpenter gets a third Taste of Number 1, spending a third consecutive week atop the Official Singles Chart.

The slacker-rock banger floats ahead of the competition, although Sab’s previous two chart-toppers are also present in the Top 5 today; with Espresso (2) and Please Please Please (5) proving we could be entering a Short n’ Sweet autumn!
Linkin Park are back with a bang, scoring the highest-charting single of their career with The Emptiness Machine, which debuts at Number 4 as this week’s highest new entry. It marks their first release with new members Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain, and becomes the alt-rock group’s sixth UK Top 10 hit, and their first since 2008.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars croon their way to a brand-new peak, with soaring ballad Die With A Smile rising one to Number 6, securing its third consecutive week inside the Top 10.

Big congrats are in order for Sonny Fodera, Jazzy and D.O.D, who leap into the Top 10 for the first time with Somedays, up five (10). It becomes Fodera’s second, Jazzy’s third and D.O.D’s first Top 10s individually.

Gigi Perez’s viral hit Sailor Song continues to build steam, up eleven places to Number 13. It becomes the first UK Top 20 single entry for Perez.

Teddy Swims’s The Door also enters the Top 20 today, up seven week-on-week (16), while Gracie Abrams bounces up four on I love you, I’m sorry (21) which becomes her highest-charting single in the UK yet.

Coldplay rise five with WE PRAY (26), as does Billie Eilish’s WILDFLOWER (30), while TikTok star Alex Warren claims his first UK Top 40 hit with Carry You Home, which jumps five places (36).

Finally, Central Cee and RAYE debut at Number 38 with the decadent Moi. The French-inflected track becomes the 28th Top 40 entry for Cench and RAYE’s 16th.
