Ed Sheeran’s Shivers scores second week at Official Singles Chart Number 1
Ed Sheeran remains the king of the Official Singles Chart as his latest single Shivers claims a second week at Number 1.
Ed’s second single from his upcoming album = racked up another 6.1 million streams over the past seven days to hold its place at the summit. Shivers fends off strong competition from Elton John & Dua Lipa’s Cold Heart (Pnau Remix), which jumps two places to Number 2 – Elton’s highest-charting single as a lead artist since his re-release of Are You Ready For Love hit Number 1 in 2003.
Meanwhile, Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow’s Industry Baby leaps six places to a new peak at Number 3, and following the release of his new album Montero, That’s What I Want is this week’s highest new entry at Number 10, and former Number 1 Montero (Call Me By Your Name) rebounds 47 places to Number 16.
Central Cee’s Obsessed With You (4) and Glass Animals’ Heat Waves (7) both hit new peaks this week, and Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah) by Nigerian artist CKay zooms 14 places to Number 9. The sleeper hit was first released in 2019 and has now taken off globally thanks to series of international collaborations and remixes of the song.
Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version) – surprise-released last week after taking off on TikTok – is new at Number 25, out-performing the Number 40 peak of the original single released in 2015.
Further down, four songs reach new highs: The Anxiety (aka Willow And Tyler Cole)’s viral hit Meet Me At Our Spot lifts six places to 29, David Guetta, Mistajam and John Newman’s If You Really Love Me (How Will I Know) hops five spots to 31, Dermot Kennedy’s Better Days climbs five to 35, and Bad Day by US rising star Justus Bennetts climbs six places to make its Top 40 debut at 38.

I really wanted either LIL NAS X or the hugely talented ELTON to be our new number 1 single...Not only LIL NAS x missed the Top spot in the album chart ( i can't believe drake beat him to it!!) but he missed as well the number 1 single spot !!

Unfortunately Drake(as much as I can't stand him) and Ed have more streaming power and fans at the end of the day.

One more week at #1 and he equals Olivia's total for the year (14).

He will probably do it as there seems to be no competition out there yet. His songs will probably end up being higher on year end chart too as his songs are coming out in a bigger sales period and and he have had both strong sales and streams.

So proud of Taylor for getting 15 places higher than the original version with her re-recording of 'Wildest Dreams'! 😍

Still missed the TOP 20 but good for her to have a higher peak. The song will certainly fall faster than the original version though. Maybe will resurge the week of the album release for a new peak.
Piran
Yeah, although I think it's actually the first song of hers where "Taylor's Version" charted higher than the original! :O
It won't last sadly, but still good to see her back in the Top 25 with a new version of one of the best tracks from '1989'.

The original track had quite a low peak and that's why this one charted higher.
"Love Story (Taylor's Version)" peaked at #12.
Still I believe this isn't doing much for her chart records and chart hits. All these re-recordings are coming out with almost no marketing. This one benefited from a viral Tik Tok post and probably that's why it got so high too.

I think all the Spotify drama was a big reason why the original version of ‘Wildest Dreams’ wasn’t a bigger hit. :/
