Kid Laroi’s Without You continues its climb back up the Top 40 thanks a new remix with Miley Cyrus, up 17 spots to Number 13, and Majestic & Boney M’s Rasputin  looks set to reach a new peak, up three to Number 15.

As much as OLIVIA RODRIGO had a massive success worlwide with DRIVING LICENCE, i didn't expect her second single DEJA VU to nearly go unnoticed ! She charted well on its first week of release but then kept dropping...I thought the single would have made the Top 10 in the Uk and at least the Top 5 in the US....

Maybe in US , deja vu will become a hit, but they are still obsessed with drivers licence, still in the top 10^^

it’s her opinion. i don’t wanna have an argument with someone anyway.

I can't understand giving Astronaut in the Ocean a -2 and Ferrari Horses an 8, among many other things. It's all subjective though, which is why it makes no sense to post ratings - because they only matter to the OP.

You literally posted rankings as well?

And I like still seeing what other people think of songs.

Must be stupid not to understand a score out of 10 too. :|

so pleased to see coldplay debut in the top 3, great song. it’ll fall by friday unfortunately but i hope it still hangs onto the top 10.

rest of the chart isn’t looking great though... without you is back in the top 20 (why?!), kiss me more and deja vu fell, and billie took a 2nd week drop! :(

'Anywhere Away From Here' hits deep! Nice to see it close to the Top 10 tonight following the release of the new Rag'n'Bone Man album. :)

unpopular opinion - i thought rag n bone man’s album was quite boring. it’s not bad though. that being said, i don’t think anywhere away from here will tank, given that the brits are on tuesday and the songs performance could help it stick around.

Very happy about this climb, and I'm sure the impending BRITS performance will boost it further

I love seeing Coldplay in this Top 3 after so long in the music industry, even if I think that they'll fall back throughout the week sadly!

One of my all-time favourite groups of any genre. :)
