The last time a female lead sat at Number 1 this long was Leona Lewis in 2007 with Bleeding Love. Rihanna also achieved eight weeks that year with Umbrella ft. Jay Z.
Harry Styles secures this week’s highest new entry at Number 4 with Lights Up, his second Top 10 as a soloist. Lewis Capaldi claims a Top 10 slot this week too; Bruises rises five to Number 9. Ed Sheeran is right behind at Number 10; featuring Camila Cabello & Cardi B, South of the Border is this week’s highest climber, up 18 places to 10.
