Kenya Grace extends lead for third week at Number 1 with Strangers

Kenya Grace spends a third week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with Strangers.

Once again the most-streamed track of the week in the UK (4.4 million streams), Kenya clings on with a gap of less than 800 chart units, which means cassö, RAYE and D-Block Europe’s Prada (2) could very much be in with a chance of stealing the top spot next week.

But we can’t ignore the Taylor Swift of it all. Cruel Summer re-enters the Top 10 today, flying up nine places to Number 3, buoyed by the release of a new live version to tie into The Eras Tour Film hitting cinemas. It previously peaked at Number 2 earlier this summer.

There’s a big congratulations on the way to Noah Kahan, who has secured his first-ever UK Top 10 single. Bolstered in popularity thanks to a cover performed by Olivia Rodrigo in BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, Stick Season vaults nine to Number 9.

The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook and Central Cee mark this week’s highest new entry with TOO MUCH, which debuts at Number 10. It becomes the third UK Top 10 single for Kid LAROI and Jung Kook, and the seventh overall for Central Cee. Jung Kook also makes history today as the first K-pop soloist to claim three Top 10 hits on the Official Singles Chart, overtaking previous record-holder Psy.

Troye Sivan is on the rise, up six to Number 11 with One Of Your Girls, which becomes his highest-charting single in the UK as a sole artist. Drake’s Rich Baby Daddy ft. Sexxy Red & SZA rises four to Number 17, and Chase & Status and Hedex see Liquor & Cigarettes ft. ArrDee climb three to Number 20.

Zach Bryan’s & Kacey Musgraves’s emotional duet I Remember Everything also climbs to a new peak (22), while Bastille’s Pompeii continues to rebound following a new version with composer Hans Zimmer, up 11 (26) and Doja Cat’s Agora Hills jumps 12 to a new peak (28).

Zara Larsson & David Guetta’s On My Love continues to climb (29), as do DJs Campbell and Alcemist on their Official Chart debut Would You (Go To Bed With Me) thanks to the popularity of its remix featuring Caity Baser (33).

Finally, Nigerian artist Tems secures her first Top 40 single as a lead artist on Me & U (36). She previously reached the Top 20 on Wizkid’s Essence (2021) and Wait For U with Future and Drake (2022).
