Joel Corry and MNEK’s Head & Heart claims Official Singles Chart top spot: “This is literally the best moment of my life”
Summer dance anthem Head & Heart by Joel Corry ft. MNEK rises to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, earning both acts their first chart-topper.

Celebrating his first Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, Joel Corry told OfficialCharts.com:
“Thank you to everyone who has supported Head & Heart, this is literally the best moment of my life! I hope this track brings you some good times this summer. Thank you so much, I love you all.”
While Head & Heart is both artists’ first Number 1 single, it’s Joel’s third Top 10 single and MNEK’s fourth as a named artist. See MNEK's full Official Chart history here.

Sadly as expected a true classic of rock history Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart(for real music fans like me) could only finish at a lowly 78 compared to a high of number 13 40 years ago this week. Different times that no longer exist in an almost dance dominated Top 100.☹☹☹

I'm sure a lot of people are fed up with Scott Mills saying on radio 1 that this is the official charts on radio 1 their charts is the only One that counts, during Friday show frequently, making reference to others, but what is misleading is there is other charts available from Official charts company sites, like official pure sales (without ACR like radio 1 do) and physical and more, which is the same team that do radio 1 single charts, and also which is misleading, is christmas charts is/has never included christmas day or Christmas evening sales,as the sales/unit and count are days behind christmas day to very max christmas eve count, which is only selected years due to calendar chart date, this is because of silly Week ending deal just like USA Hot 100 Singles charts

One of my favourite songs of 2020 hits #1 on the singles chart & my all-time favourite artist releases a surprise album in the same day! :D
July 24, 2020... what an amazing day for music, haha.

Is only song that I have rewound to listen again since blinding lights so expecting a bit of longevity for this one.
Any favourites from Taylors new album yetPiran?
Piran
'Blinding Lights' is slowly becoming a modern classic at this point, haha! :D
I actually posted my ratings for each of the tracks from 'Folklore' on the page with the full Top 100, but: 'Exile' with Bon Iver, 'The Last Great American Dynasty' & 'Invisible String' would be the standouts for me so far.
Rob Parkinson
To be fair I did see your ratings on there after I had posted the previous message! I thought that there were going to be a few collaborations on the album but happy with Bon I Ivor!
Piran
Taylor hasn't collaborated much on her albums lately, but the Bon Iver one really surprised me! ;)
Piran
YES!!! :D
