The Weeknd reclaims the top spot on this week’s Official Singles Chart with Blinding Lights and also bags this week’s highest new entry with his latest track After Hours.

Blinding Lights climbs back up a place to Number 1, knocking last week’s chart-topper, No Time To Die by Billie Eilish, down to 2. The title track from his upcoming album, out on March 20, debuts at Number 20, taking the Canadian’s tally of UK Top 40 songs to 19.

Justin Bieber’s Intentions ft. Quavo climbs one place to a new high at Number 9, and Harry Styles’ Adore You rebounds three spots to Number 10. Harry’s latest single Falling – which he performed at last week’s BRITs – re-enters the Top 40, zooming up 12 places to 29.

US singer/rapper Doja Cat continues to climb with her breakout hit Say So, up two places to 19, and BTS secure their third UK Top 40 single with On, the latest spin-off from their newly crowned Number 1 album Map of the Soul: 7.

Following his death last week aged 20, US drill rapper Pop Smoke makes his UK Top 40 debut with Dior at 33, climbing 40 places.

Further down, Manchester rapper Aitch is new at 34 with Mice, his seventh Top 40 hit, and 19-year-old US rapper 24KGoldn vaults 25 spots to 39 with City Of Angels, boosted by viral success on TikTok. 

Finally, US singer-songwriter Ashe debuts at Number 40 with Moral Of The Story, a track from new Netflix romcom To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You.

While it’s disappointing to see ‘No Time To Die’ drop from #1 so soon, the incredible ‘Blinding Lights’ returning to the top spot for a third non-consecutive week makes up for it entirely!

I’m surprised that ‘Don’t Start Now’ still isn’t on ACR yet, but I’m by no means complaining since it’s such an awesome song.

‘Say So’ finally going Top 20 excites me a lot, since I feel that Doja Cat has a lot of potential as an artist & it’ll get even more of a boost next week thanks to the video!

Nice to see 'Falling' gaining some traction after the BRIT's last week, since I think it's one of Harry's best ballads so far.

While I wasn’t really a big fan of ‘Dior’, I hope Pop Smoke rests in peace!

Finally, I don’t know how to feel about ‘Higher Love’ becoming Whitney Houston’s longest Top 100 single! I mean, I still love it despite all the overplay, but it’s never going to be as iconic as some of her older classics, e.g. ‘I Will Always Love You’ & ‘I Have Nothing’.

Have a good weekend everyone! :)
