Dave & Central Cee fend off Olivia Rodrigo for fifth week at Number 1 with Sprinter
It was a tight race for Number 1 this week.
By Carl Smith
Dave and Central Cee have fought off Olivia Rodrigo to remain at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart for a fifth consecutive week with Sprinter.
Retaining its position, Sprinter gained over 8 million streams this week, making it once again the most-streamed track in the country. The track – the first collaboration from Dave and Cench, taken from their EP Split Decision – was this week named one of the biggest songs of 2023 so far in the UK.
After a tight battle for the top spot, Olivia Rodrigo’s vampire enters at Number 2, this week’s highest new entry. The pop-rock ballad becomes Olivia’s fifth UK Top 10 hit. See Olivia’s biggest songs in the UK, revealed for the first time, here.

Taylor Swift continues to gain momentum with Cruel Summer, which ascends into the Top 10 for the first time ever today after lifting six places to Number 6. The wistful synth banger was originally released in 2019 as part of the Lover album, but took four years to be made an official single.
It’s another week and another new peak for DJ Peggy Gou’s (It Goes Like) Nanana, up two to Number 7, while D-Block Europe & Clavish debut straight in at Number 10 with Pakistan. It becomes the third Top 10 hit for D-Block and Clavish’s second.
Outside the Top 10, Jorja Smith lifts one with Little Things (14), her highest-charting single since 2019, while The Weeknd, Madonna & Playboi Carti are also up one on Popular (17) and Gunna’s F*kumean enters the Top 20 for the first time, up four (18).
Good news for Tom Grennan, whose How Does It Feel rises six (23) and Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy also reaches a new peak as Sittin’ On Top Of The World rises two (36).
Finally, British DJ D.O.D. (real name Dan O’Donnell) earns his first Official Top 40 single with So Much In Love, leaping 13 places to Number 38. Previously, D.O.D.’s 2021 track Still Sleepless with Carla Monroe peaked at Number 46.

really dislike this new website!! the layout is just awful ...it was so easy in the past to leave comments or to reply to other comments: so difficult now...furthermore we can no longer choose to read the oldest or newest comments as this option has been removed!! the only good thing i like is being able to listen to each song on the chart..why did the OC has to replace their website when it was great at the first place!!?? and everytime we leave the webpage we have to log back in again...time consuming!

Agree with you there Thierry.Musical its ok.But lyrical its just about them Boasting about how much Money they have and How many girls they have chasing them.It was ok for a few weeks but its been there to long.And it seems tobe mainly on streaming which im not completely sure should be used in charts.Stands to reason somthing thats already Number one will get get streamed,they why we have somany records staying at number one for weeks on end.Not to mention that stream is open to Abuse from a chart perspective.Hope Olivia makes it next week but I think it will probably go down.

Really happy to see 'Vampire' and 'Cruel Summer' in the Top 10 this week. :)
Well done to Dave on landing his longest #1 hit to date!

Not really happy with Dave still being #1, frankly not a good song, but we have to admit that Vampire was underwhelming as a comeback single after all her success
