Olivia Rodrigo's Good 4 U is longest-reigning rock-influenced Number 1 single for 18 years
Olivia Rodrigo continues her reign over the Official Singles Chart as Good 4 U claims a fourth consecutive week at the top, becoming the longest-reigning Number 1 rock single in 18 years.
With more than double the chart sales of its closest competition, Good 4 U boasts 9.8 million UK streams this week, the pop-punk hit is now the longest-reigning rock-influenced chart-topper since 2003, when Evanescence spent four weeks at Number 1 with Bring Me To Life.

Two more entries in this week’s Top 40 are waving the flag for the genre: Italian rockers and Eurovision winners Måneskin climb five places into the Top 10 at Number 7 with I Wanna Be Your Slave, and Willow (formerly Willow Smith) is new at Number 33 with pop-punk track Transparent Soul ft. Travis Barker. Originally released in April, the song has rocketed up the Top 100 over the past three weeks and is set to become Willow’s first Top 40 single in 10 years since Whip My Hair.

Meanwhile, Galantis, David Guetta and Little Mix climb two to Number 4 with Heartbreak Anthem, a new peak for the track, and ArrDee’s Oliver Twist climbs one to Number 6.
Mimi Webb lands straight in at Number 12 with this week’s highest new entry Dumb Love – her second Top 20 single following Good Without, which holds at Number 9 this week.
Elsewhere in the Top 20, Calvin Harris’ By Your Side ft. Tom Grennan rises 2 to Number 13, while Tom Zanetti scoops a new chart peak with Didn’t Know, up four to Number 14. Lorde returns with eagerly-awaited new single Solar Power at Number 17, her third Top 20 hit in the UK.
Anne-Marie and Niall Horan’s Our Song climbs four to Number 18 – Anne-Marie’s eighth Top 20 and Niall’s third as a solo artist.

Following England’s strong start to Euro 2020, football anthem 3 Lions by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds re-enters at Number 22. The track was also issued on red vinyl this month to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
This week’s scorching hot weather continues to send Harry Styles’ Watermelon Sugar (25) and Navos’ Believe Me (26) rebounding back up the Top 40, and finally, Doja Cat’s latest release Need To Know debuts at Number 37, Doja’s seventh UK Top 40.

This song is NOT a rock song or even rock inspired song in any way possible (no matter how many Olivia record label and Oliva manager press releases are sent to you and to every other media saying otherwise - BY THE WAY you were the ONLY ones that decided to publish this as all the other media thought the it was pushing too much)
This is a pop/dance song that also uses guitars like hundreds of other pop/dance songs released during this century already. This is as rock as Taylor Swift "Shake It Off". Sure many pop and rock songs have similar structures but it's not jjust the marketing and the instruments that make a rock song. The most important thing is the rock voice and the rock atittute and Olivia lacks both.
Not the song structure, not the song instruments, not her singing - anything really says Rock here (even some Madonna songs are more rock than this!).
A recent chart rock influenced song (that was #01 on single sales for several weeks but ended peaking just TOP 5 on Official chart?) was Midnight Sky by Miley Cyrus. She sings that song in a rock vibe. Olivia sings "Good 4 U" the same way she could be singing Justin Bieber "Sorry" or Taylor Swift "Shake It Off" - she sings it like a pop bubble gum song and not a rock song.

This song has got nothing to do with rock so jokes on you it is not the longest rock influenced song to reign at the top because it is not a rock song.
Joshua Sombra
No.1 is so boring. Cancel Olivia.

This song has nothing to do with ROCK music is a simple Dance song like "Shake it off" by Taylor Swift.....
Will

Happy to see TOM GRENNAN, ANNE MARIE and LITTLE MIX: "heartbreak anthem" climbing the chart and reaching a new peak this week!

And the talented DOJA CAT is claiming another Top 40 this week: she is having so much success this year in both the Uk and USA: congrats girl: so well deserved!
thierry henon
Was expected MIMI WEBB "GOOD WITHOUT" to climb a few places this week as mid week she was at 6: hopefully next week! But still congrats to her for the best entry of this week at 12 with another great single of hers ( she can do no wrong!) : DUMB LOVE

'Good 4 U's reign is so impressive! I think it'll be #1 either until Ed's new single gets released, or if England do really well at the Euros (then 'Three Lions' will probably take it for a fifth different run at the top). :)
Joshua Sombra
Yeah, but her music .

Hopefully someone else will be No.1 instead of that washed up teenager.
