Joel Corry & Jax Jones advance three places to Number 4 with Out Out ft. Charli XCX & Saweetie, while Kanye West claims the three highest new entries of the week with Hurricane at Number 7, Jail at Number 9 and Off The Grid at Number 11. The songs feature uncredited vocals from The Weeknd & Lil Baby, Jay-Z and Playboi Carti & Fivio Foreign respectively.
