Is there someone changing comments and hacking bc my comment said “I’m glad rein me in has been reined in and eaten up like last nights groceries. Also well done Ella rightful number 1 after a billion weeks of climbing… “ then someone hacked in and added “I actually really hate the song but anything to destroy Sam Pantsder and Poolivia Dean 😊” lol not true 😂😂 who made up Poolivia Dean? Creative I guess but why are we changing comments?
the40
Glad to see a new number one this week, don't see the appeal for some of the top 5 songs though, specifically 'Great Expectation' and 'Boston' both songs I find incredibly irritating. Would have loved for 'Material Lover' to be there instead.
T
TheOnlineCoder
My ranking list of songs in this week in top 40 (not ALL of them, only the ones I consider most signifiant):
S TIER
Great Expectation - SIENNA SPIRO [2]: What can I say? We have a worthy successor to Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved. SS's music is just so beautiful, PURE and natural-sounding. The amount of emotion in her voice throughout this song caused me to dissolve into happy tears the first time I heard it, and still be stunned every later time I listen to it. In fact,GE s so stupidly superb that I have to NOT listen to it in my playlist so that I don't lose the extraordinary aura of hearing it on the radio naturally. Another thing I really like about SS is her attitude. Far too many singers (particularly women) are incredibly sexually explicit and graphic about the contents of their songs. Besides the potentially-dubious cover of the Visitor album, I've NEVER seen SS sexualise herself/her listeners, write songs with a large amount of profanity that needs umpteen censors, or make herself inappropriate for young listeners in any way. Beautiful, kind and emotional are words I have to use to describe this song, as well as all of SS's other songs and herself.
Die On This Hill - SIENNA SPIRO [13]: Deciding whether GE or DoTH is the best song in this chart was so difficult. Since DoTH never had the same success as GE, I'll always feel more happy and emotion when I hear DoTH since it's newer to me (I also have to exclude DoTH from my playlist.) DoTH is also more melodically advanced and the bridge is utterly brilliant with all of the violin arpeggios, in contrast GE is literally just the four chords song. But in the end, I chose GE since it was the one and only song that cemented SS as my favourite female artist of all time (after Lewis Capaldi and Sam Fender for my very favourite).
A TIER
Rein Me In - Sam Fender and Olivia Dean [7]: Well, well, well. As everyone knows, this song took an insane 23 week streak at number one before falling onto ACR. When I listened to the chart last night, I knew EXACTLY what Jack Saunders meant when he said "This is not a drill!" and acted very surprised, even though it was blindingly obvious that it had gone on ACR. RMI is about the only song in 2026 I have more than 1000 streams of, and that's because it's just so well-written and memorable. I don't get the same extraordinary vibe fromRMI as I do with any SS music, but it's still, in my opinion, a very long-lasting and deserving number one. And I was disappointed when I heard it had gone on ACR. There's something about it that makes it impossible to click the "Not Interested" button on YouTube for this song - I always feel happier after I've heard it. But I would say, I do prefer the earlier SF half to the later OD half - I often even prefer the version that only has SF. I do understand that the female aspect that OD brings is the reason it came even close to number one, so I do have SOMETHING to thank her for.
Ordinary - Alex Warren [29]: The RMI of 2025. But like RMI itself, it's a song that I just can't let go of. It's far better melodically, religious (which is unusual for a number one pop song), and just well-made in general. I think it deserved all 14 weeks it got in 2025 and am pleased to see it still hanging in there, even under the influence of ACR.
My Body Isn't Ready - Sombr [19]: I really didn't think that a Sombr song would impress me as much as MBIR has, but here we are. While somewhat repetitive, it still has a lot of emotion and melodic development - something which I think is a core part of writing a good song. Before this great song came out, none of Sombr's hits had impressed me (Back To Friends was decent, but Undressed and particularly 12 to 12 seemed incredibly monotone to me)
Sign of the Times- Harry Styles [24]: Like Sombr, I really didn't think a Harry song would be as good as this. In particular, I found As it Was hugely overrated and unnecessarily long time at number one. But this, this is much better. After doing some research on the song, I found out that this is NOT his newest song, but infact his debut one. This suggests to me that HS was a far better songwriter in 2017 than now, with the amount of variation and melody in this song.
The Cure - Olivia Rodrigo [8]: Yet another artist I'd not been impressed by before (I thought her music was a little effeminate), but this is a huge improvement and I'm pleased to know how much it has avoided ACR, because it deserves better than that.
B TIER
PURE - SIENNA SPIRO [36]: The only song by SS which I don't consider to be one of the best in the history of music. But it's growing on me - it might be in A tier next week. And another favour to this song is that it's knocked out the lame Material Lover which is, in my opinion, the first truly bad SS song.
Boston - STELLA LEFTY [4]: I don't mind a bit of country music from time to time. In fact, I think that this is one of the best country efforts in the current chart. If it's on ACR right now, I don't understand why - it's not really declined too much. Then why has it dropped to number four?
Islands in the Stream - Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers [9]: The only song by Dolly Parton that I think I would like if DP was an entirely new artist. While I do think DP deserves the three entries in the top 10 after she inspired everyone (I'm looking at you STELLA LEFTY!) this is the best one in my opinion.
Be Her - Ella Langley [30]: In my opinion, a much better effort than Choosin' Texas and probably my second favourite country song in the chart, after Boston.
Stupid Song - Olivia Rodrigo [20]: While it's not the best song that's ever hit the charts (the bridge is really annoying in my opinion), I think a bare minimum ACR is not what this song deserved. It was even a number one before RMI took control again - which is one of the major downsides of RMI that I didn't mention, it blocking other good number ones like this.
C TIER
Blessings - Calvin Harris and Clementine Douglas [37]: The only dance song in the whole chart that has truly earnt its place. Nothing more to say.
Hate That I Made You Love Me - Ariana Grande [27]: Nothing special about it, it's just a decent song that I can listen to quite happily (unlike Petal which is so extraordinarily high it's hard to cope with.) But no new Ariana Grande song is going to top the great We Can't Be Friends, Wait For Your Love.
Choosin' Texas - Ella Langley [1]: Even though I've been a RMI supporter, a new number one was going to have to happen. And it's okay - the chorus is catchy, but there's a few bits that I don't consider to be too good - particularly the incredibly cringe "C'mon, baby", after the second chorus.
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton [5]: What a throwback. But it probably wouldn't be anything special for me if it wasn't for DP passing away.
Animal - KATSEYE [16]: Infinitely better than Hootie FrutiI, but still not really my kind of music.
Man I Need - Olivia Dean [10]: I'm not saying that OD is a bad singer or songwriter - especially after she had a half-decent solo in RMI. It's just she seems very dull and repetitive. I had it on my playlist for a short while, until I got bored of it and clicked "Not Interested". In particular, the video is ridiculously "on the nose" and not creative at all.
D TIER
Dai Dai - Shakira [14]: Not too familiar with Shakira, but this song is just really dull. Absolutely no sense of structure, melodic talent or any of the rest. Not the one for me.
Movin' To The Sun - Hugel, Amel Angel, Ultra Nate [3]: No good. The only reason I actually danced to it yesterday was of the excitement that Great Expectation might be number one. Not deserving at all.
Petal - Ariana Grande [35]: Not a bad tune, but the chorus is so extraordinary high I can't cope with it.
LOSER - Tame Impala [12]: Nothing of essence to hear, nothing beyond a flimsy rockish song. Not for me.
E TIER
Jolene - Dolly Parton [6]: So repetitive and dull. I love DP but this just isn't the right one for me.
Sue Me - Audrey Hobert [21]: Again, nothing I really want to say about this one.
F TIER
Hootie Fruti - KATSEYE [33]: Disgusting. Like WHAT IS THE POINT?
On 2Nite - Silva Bumpa [11]: No. Just so boring, repetitive and tuneless.
Training Season - Dua Lipa [18]: No. Just no. I will literally walk away from my computer/turn off the radio the moment this foul monstrocity gets played. Not deserving the return AT ALL.
the40
Interesting to see your thoughts on Sienna Spiro, I absolutely HATE and cringe at 'Great Expectation' but love 'Material Lover'.
I Would say 'Training Season' is up there with the top songs of 2024.
Also think Olivia Dean is one of the most exciting new acts, nothing dull about her.
'Dai Dai' as you say is horrible but to say that Shakira and Burna Boy have no melodic talent is so wrong.
T
TheOnlineCoder
In my opinion, material lover is so out of character for SS that it sounds wrong on her album. She was commissioned to write it for a lame film, which is why it says nothing about her own personality. In fact, the first time I heard it and I don't fully listen to the lyrics, I thought it was a diss song about someone who only cared about material items. That could've been a good song. But no - it's totally fake in terms of what she actually believes. "All I need is you..." "I'm a material lover..." the first one is way more her than the second one.
OD isn't so bad, maybe I was a bit harsh about her. I still do listen to "Man I Need", but admittedly I do still prefer the earlier SF half of RMI.
As for "Dai Dai", I don't really blame Burna Boy since he was just recruited by Shakira to take part of the song and I think his part is probably the best effort of the song. But still I see almost no melody in the song and are not a fan at all.
What do you think?

Faretheewell but good riddance Rein Me In.
You overstayed your welcome and honestly I agree *any* Dolly song should've taken the lead.
C

yeah. Rein Me In was #1 for too long, just like Choosin' Texas is still #1 in the US, and has been for 20 weeks straight...
greedytay
such a horrible number one. since when have we cared for country music in the uk? this is the epitome of playola and botted playlisting.
dolly was supposed to be number one. i would've even preferred movin' to the sun. this maga lassie and that stupid song is a no no.
C

Not sure how that happened. Choosin' Texas is #1 in a lot of places, so it makes sense, but I'm still shocked that Dolly got overtaken.
I suppose we Brits prefer female country artists...

This morning on BBC1 Breakfast Show they announced that 9 to 5 was the new No1 Single. A very unusual announcement. Usually they might say a particular single is "on track" or "looks like" but this morning it was a definitive statement. So what happened between 8. 15 am and 6.00pm? Dolly was at No1, No2 and No7 on the midweek chart- if her streaming numbers had peaked earlier in the week then surely that information would've been intimated to the BBC.
This is the only time I can remember such a definitive statement being announced prior to the chart announcement later on the day.
Something seems very strange about this...

It's the Official Charts Company, not the Official Music Charts Company, so why shouldn't it include the film chart? Must admit though, I have never looked at it.

I wonder if the new "Mr. Brightside" by Irish Made if it sticks. Could possibly affect Mr brightside pushing slightly back up the chart. 🤔
P
Perter98
This is what I suggest but still may like need more planning
Acr is what 25% increase and maintaining for over 3 weeks to get off acr and just over 27% in 1 week.
I rather keep the 25% over 3 weeks to go from tier 3 to 2. 1 week from tier 3 to tier 2 being 30% then the following week has to be 32.5% further increase to from tier 2 to 1. Then tier 1 to acr the following week another 35% increase.
So for example say if 3,500,000 streams from YouTube, tiktok, apple streaming and Spotify combined is the benchmark then tier 3 to 2 would be 4,550,000 streams instead of 4,445,000 then following week for tier 2 to tier 1 would have to be 4,637,500 streams and tier 1 to scr the following week 4,725,000 streams. From tier 3 straight scr 97.5% would be 6,912,500 week 1 and from tier 2 to scr be 62.5% at 5,687,500 streams week 1 and tier 1 week to scr 30% at 4,550,000 streams. Market Numbers required to change over time though. So could end up being higher or lower numbers required. Over 3 weeks decline songs have to in just 1 week have to increase over 6% in streams to reset the 3 weeks decline clock. I rather have that changed to like to 6.5 or 7%.
Songs over 3 years old charted would be tier 3 to 2 then be 32.5%. Tier 2 to 1 the 35% and tier 1 to scr 37.5%. So using 3,500,000 has the same benchmark for example again. Tier 3 to 2 would be 4,637,500, tier 2 to 1 be 4,725,000 and tier 1 to scr 4,812,500.
Tier 3 to scr 105% so 7,175,000
Tier 2 to scr 67.5% so 5,862,500
Tier 1 to scr 32.5% so 4,637,500
Remember
Tier 1: 200 streams = 1 sales point.
Tier 2: 250 streams = 1 sales point
Tier 3: 300 streams = 1 sales point.
Need to figure out on the falling onto acr with declines per week though.

Rein Me In took 36 weeks to reach #1, and holds the record for the longest climb to number one in a single, consecutive chart run. Choosin' Texas has taken 35 weeks to reach #1, so has had the second longest consecutive week climb to #1 in UK chart history.
Rein Me In is, as we all know, the longest-running #1 in UK chart history, and, currently on 20 weeks at #1, Choosin' Texas is the longest-running non-Xmas #1 in the US, and is only 2 weeks away from being the longest-running of all.

Even if Ella does break the Mariah’s record it would only be brief before the latter reclaims it.
gnu_andrew
"ein Me In is, as we all know, the longest-running #1 in UK chart history"
On the sales & streaming chart. Not overall. Pretty sure that's "Baby Shark" with 39 weeks on the video streaming chart; https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/pinkfong-baby-shark/
ib2017
Dolly Parton may get #1, #2 and #3 next week. Always a possibility. Perhaps bring Luke Combs to the top 40 as well.
Velvet Android
Surely not – this sort of posthumous 'bounce' never normally lasts that long, does it? There's the quirk that last week it only affected the final two sales days of the chart week, so the initial period got spread across into this sales week too, but normally the boost in profile wears off after not much more than a week or two.
Admittedly in this era the quirks of what does and doesn't get streamed en masse seem to only get more peculiar, so it wouldn't surprise me to be proved wrong because for some reason the people who felt the need to stream Dolly's tracks after her death continued to do so for even for a fortnight and more afterwards. Yet it still feels to me like if she was going to top the charts, this past week would've been the one.
T
TheOCCSucks
Sienna Spiro will probably go to #1 next week since Great Expectation has been skyrocketing in streams over the past few days. :)
greedytay
i hope it does. that song has grown on me a lot.

Still doing better than its original release when it didn't even make the top 40.

A funny coincidence is that earlier this year, 'Choosin' Texas' spent five consecutive weeks at #35, now it's reached the top spot on its 35th week in the chart.

horrible song.
ImaPlank
So ... you don't like the song eh! You should write it a third time just in case someone missed it.

I absolutely love that Adéla is becoming just as popular as the girl group that she was almost put in. 🥰

Ain’t in LA rising 🥰

I honestly thought Animal would have been higher on the chart. Yes, I know radio play doesn't influence the charts, but it's definitely overplayed. "It has to be popular, right?" was my thought.
Then again, KATSEYE is having controversies of their own that everyone knows by now, but still.

Man I feel like Jack Saunders’s wheel is getting more and more random every week because today it chose AIWFCIY!
His reaction was absolutely priceless. XD
Piran
Adéla is quickly becoming one of my favourite new artists of the year, so it’s amazing to see ‘Ain’t In LA’ back in the Top 40 and with a new peak.
Her debut album was released earlier today, so hopefully it climbs a lot higher and she’ll get some other tracks to chart next week.

What is going on with the wheel? Last week was "what does the fox say?" and now this time "all I want for Christmas is you" what is wrong with it.
His reaction was funny

I think "Choosin' Texas" being #1 is far too late giving it is a year old next month, but anything except "Rein Me In" is fine. I personally wanted "Great Expectation" or "Movin' To The Sun" #1 and let's hope those 2 aren't stuck and will peak at #2 :(

Justice - now let's watch 'F*ck Me In' plummet like a rock.
ImaPlank
I think you'll find the song is actually called 'Rein Me In'. Let's not forget younger folk read these comments and tbh your comments with 'F*ck' show your intelligence level.

I’m glad rein me in has been reined in and eaten up like last nights groceries. Also well done Ella rightful number 1 after a billion weeks of climbing… I actually really hate the song but anything to destroy Sam Pantsder and Poolivia Dean 😊

Bye Bye won't be missing you up there. There is that still what if thing though would the chart have reformed away from the +5 million - 5 million ACR/SCR bull if it had broken Robin Hood 16 weeks of not being toppled in a row. I would have thought it would have been only a couple more weeks to cope with it to hit a Robin Hood beating 17 by now anyway then our silly chart company Kantar Official Charts Company would have had to de stupify the chart rules from chart fixing to real results.
ImaPlank
Let's not forget Bryan Adams' song did 16 weeks on pure sales. Rein me in is nowhere near in the same league
gnu_andrew
Yes, only Wet Wet Wet have come close to that. "Rein Me In" has a meagre five non-consecutive weeks in the 70+ year old singles sales chart - https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-sales-chart/20260904/7509/ - which wouldn't even be notable.

Hmm, if i'm not wrong, Choosin' Texas has not been number one on the singles chart...
P
Perter98
Choosin' texas was no.1 on the Irish charts for a bit. And 20 weeks in the us charts possibly coming up to 21 over there.

Happy choosin' texas gotten to no.1
Has it increased enough to reset the 3 weeks decline counter towards acr?

It looks like ‘Training Season’ might get a big second chart run during the autumn. Dua Lipa is a fantastic popstar, so I’m not exactly complaining about that.
That said, I wish ‘Maria’ and ‘Happy For You’ became hits for her. Easily among the best tracks from that album.
Piran
‘9 To 5’ may not have reached #1, but it does at least give Dolly Parton a new all-time peak on the singles chart today.
The fact that she has three songs in the Top 10 this week shows just how loved and respected she is. Her name will go down in country music history forever.
LVM
Lars Van Moer
2 things strike me :
Her biggest posthumous hit (in the UK) is hardly a country song.
3 songs in the top 10 but no other songs in the top 100 ... e.g. no "I will always love you" or "Coat of many colors" . Surely the 3 song rule does not apply as these songs are from different albums by Dolly Parton ?
Velvet Android
It's nothing to do with whether or not songs are from different albums, Lars – the 3-song rule limits everyone to that number of total songs on the chart at one time on which they are listed as primary artist. Doesn't matter if they're all hits from the same album, or recorded 50 years apart.
Oddly, Dolly's record company have denied her a fourth concurrent hit due to being the first to snap up the digital rights to Islands In The Stream over 30 years ago. In its original chart run in 1983 it was billed as by 'Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton' – yet its modern-day chart listing appears separately from that run (even though it's the exact same recording) and is billed as 'Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers'. Open up the expanded info on the song up the page here, and you'll see the catalogue number is USRN19400390: as chart expert James Masterton explained on his site last week, that means "US: Registered by an American identity; RN1: RCA Nashville was the registrant; 94: Year of registration; 00390: was the 390th song registered by them that year. So it was Dolly's then label which claimed the digital ownership back in 1994 when they first logged the track into the system. Claiming it as Dolly's song."
Were it still appearing as 'Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton', Kenny would officially be the primary artist and Dolly would then count as a featuring credit, which thus wouldn't disqualify her from having another of her own songs – undoubtedly I Will Always Love You, which would likely be at least Top 20 this week – appearing as her 'third' simultaneous hit. As it is, though, the credits getting reversed means Islands In The Stream takes her third available slot.
It says a lot meanwhile about how there was never a market for country songs in this, um, country that she's only having her biggest ever hits right now. As noted, 9 To 5 never even reached the Top 40 originally, and Jolene peaked at no.9 fully 50 years ago as her only solo Top 10 ever within her lifetime. Islands In The Stream is both Bee Gees-written (from an era where their songwriting also unexpectedly took Dionne Warwick into the Top 3 and both Barbara Streisand and Diana Ross all the way to Number One) and a duet. And it took I Will Always Love You being covered by Whitney Houston to really get it known on these shores.
Dolly has long been more famous over here as a personality than as an actual hitmaking musician – I mean, other than the literal handful (including Coat Of Many Colors) listed above, I'd challenge anyone to list a sixth Dolly Parton song off the top of their head, even now. But her management did tremendous work in recent decades in emphasising and consolidating her legacy, and that persona shone through regardless, not to mention we all became aware of what remarkable things she did as a humanitarian. Her record-breaking Glastonbury crowd, and her posthumous chart success these last couple of weeks, are both testament to that.
Piran
I think the rule is that an artist can chart up to three songs where they're the lead credit regardless of whether the songs are from the same album or not.
Piran
We finally have a new #1… and it’s yet another single that was released last year. Personally, I was hoping it would be Dolly Parton in tribute to her remarkable career.
Oh well, at least the run for ‘Rein Me In’ has come to an end. I think it has to be up there as one of the longest overdue ACR hits of all-time.
greedytay
you jinxed/cursed movin' to the sun. lol
Piran
Hmm... it's #1 in the First Look, so we'll see. Personally, I'm not a fan.
