Ava Max keeps her spot at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart as Sweet But Psycho enters its fourth week in pole position.

The track logged 8 million streams and 12,000 downloads this week, finishing 30,000 combined sales ahead of her closest competition.

Celebrating her first UK chart-topper, the US singer told OfficialCharts.com:

"We are Number 1 in the UK! I can't believe I'm saying it, and I can't believe I'm even holding this award! I want to tell everybody that I'm working super hard in the studio for you guys to release a debut album this year for all my Avatars. I love you so much.”

I wonder if "Lost in the Fire" will have a better chart run than "Pray for Me", which peaked at number 11 on the chart and then fell off after a few weeks.

'Pray For Me' only fell off the charts because it was being outsold by the songs from his EP so it was ineligible to chart

Congrats to Ava once again & I'm so pleased that 'Sweet But Psycho' has now been #1 for a whole month! :)
This was such a busy week for new entries (8 breaking into the Top 40!), but I'd say I like all of them except 'Leave Me Alone'.
'Dancing With A Stranger' being the highest debut out of all of them is very good to see though!
