The Weeknd's Blinding Lights claims fourth week at UK Number 1, Lady Gaga's Stupid Love scores highest new entry
The Weeknd continues to shine bright at the top of the Official Singles Chart as Blinding Lights claims a fourth week at Number 1.
The ‘80s-inspired track, which trails his forthcoming album After Hours, notched up 64,000 chart sales – including seven million streams - this week to keep its place at the summit.
The Canadian star holds off competition from Saint Jhn’s Roses, which climbs two places to a new peak at Number 2. The song was first released in 2016 but has seen a huge leap up the Official Singles Chart over the last nine weeks thanks to a remix by producer Imanbek, which saw it gain popularity on TikTok.
This week’s highest new entry goes to Lady Gaga’s Stupid Love, landing at Number 5 and earning Gaga her 13th UK Top 10 single. View Lady Gaga's complete Official UK Chart history so far.
US singer/rapper Doja Cat sees a huge boost for her breakout hit Say So this week, leaping nine places to Number 10 following the release of the song’s music video. Elsewhere in the Top 20, British singer-songwriter Becky Hill climbs seven spots to 16 with Better Off Without You ft. Shift K3y – a new peak for the track.
Further down, Falling by Harry Styles rises seven places to a new high at 22, Mabel’s new single Boyfriend debuts at 28, Moral Of The Story by singer-songwriter Ashe lifts nine places to 31, and Anne-Marie’s Birthday rebounds back into the Top 40 this week, up seven spots to 36.
Finally, US rapper/producer Mustard climbs five places to 37 with Ballin’ ft. Roddy Ricch, and Blueberry Faygo by rapper Lil Mosey makes its Top 40 debut, up 13 rungs to 40.

I really wanted LADY GAGA to be our new number 1 this week!! Will the single drop next week or get a new high? What do you reckon Piran? Really like her new single...not her best of course but still a good song

I agree with your thoughts on the song! A solid comeback, but I sadly don’t think it’s going to hold up looking at iTunes & Spotify lately. Probably out of the Top 10 next week! :/

I’d have thought the overplay for ‘Blinding Lights’ would’ve got to me by now, but no, still loving it, haha. Honestly, this is looking a contender for song of the year already & if it does manage to do that, then it’ll probably be my favourite one since ‘Uptown Funk’ in 2015!
I’m really amazed how ‘Roses’ has reached as high as #2 (exactly where it peaked in my personal charts!). It’s even better than I still enjoy the Imambek remix a lot! I wouldn’t mind this going all the way now, just so that we don’t get another EDM song blocked in the runner-up spot.
‘Stupid Love’s debut is the other big news of the week... eh, it’s cool to see Lady Gaga back with new solo music & there’s definitely a nostalgic feel to this too, but it’s not her best!
Other highlights for me are ‘Say So’ going Top 10 thanks to some slick disco production (the video helped too) & ‘Better Off Without You’ hitting the Top 20 for being powerful yet catchy! Hopefully both of them will continue their ascent next week.
Have a good weekend everybody! :)
