Meanwhile, rappers Aitch and AJ Tracey score the week’s highest new entry with their brand-new collaboration Rain ft. Tay Keith at Number 3. It’s AJ Tracey’s third Top 10 single and Aitch’s fifth in less than 12 months; his first arrived in June 2019 as a guest on Young T & Bugsey’s Strike A Pose.
Dua Lipa lands her eighth UK Top 10 as Physical leaps five places to Number 8, boosted by a new ‘workout’ music video. Her previous single Don’t Start Now holds firm in the Top 10 for an eighteenth week, back up one place at Number 5.
Further down, Da Beatfreakz mega-collab Self-Obsessed ft. Krept & Konan, D-Block Europe and Deno enters at 26, marking the London production duo’s highest-charting single to date.
Demi Lovato lands her twelfth UK Top 40 hit with I Love Me at 35, and two tracks from Lil Uzi Vert’s new album, Baby Pluto and P2, debut at Number 36 and 37 respectively.
Finally, rising star Benee makes her Official UK Chart debut with Superlonely at Number 39. The 20-year-old New Zealander’s track has been growing online in recent weeks and is the latest viral hit on TikTok.

Physical is very lame copy of 80s synth-pop. I hated it from first listen

I'm okay with 'Blinding Lights' staying at #1 if it's holding 'Roses' off the top spot.

I do hope Demi can make it to the top 20 next week? Any thought about the single climbing the chart Piran?

Sadly, I think it's probably falling.
It's barely inside the Top 100 on Spotify right now! :/

You know, 2020 might've got off a really bad start for me in general & to everyone else because of coronavirus or severe weather, but at least the charts are finally starting to look promising again if anything.
I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of 'Blinding Lights' being #1, given that it's still a 10/10 for me, even after being at the top for over a month now. I really hope 'Roses' can still get there too & while it's interesting to see 'Rain' make a massive debut, it was just okay for me.
The best part about this week for me was 'Physical' entering the Top 10 & 'To Die For' hitting the Top 20, as well as BENEE finally making her chart debut (even if she did need TikTok to do it!).
Lil Uzi Vert made a better impact than expected too! His music isn't for me sadly, but cool for him & his fans regardless.
I hope you all have a good weekend! :)

I’m so happy for Dua!

Well until someone with streaming power to match(none of the elite five I have in mind are around at the moment) comes along The Weekend will remain untouchable. Pity no one had noticed Radio 1's Rising Star of 2020 Celeste has sadly flopped with her debut almost out of the Top 75 after peaking at no.47. Could this be Radio 1's first jinx pick? Let's wait and see..It took a little while for Adele's star to really ascend.

Sadly, the BRIT's Critics Choice Award winners are seeing less success lately. Sam Fender doesn't seem to getting hits into the charts either, despite being Radio 1 playing his music a lot!
Piran
Same! Hopefully she can still get higher over on the Hot 100. ;)
