So pleased to see the "newcomer" MIMI WEBB at 17!! Great song with such a powerful voice!! Our British OLIVIA RODRIGO? Hope she will get as much success as Olivia...

OMG!! I really didn't expect LIL NAS X to be number 1 this week!! It comes as a surprise for quite a few people i guess? But very pleased about it..Just a shame RITON has no chance now to claim the number 1 spot...!

Thank the controversial video for nudging Wellerman off the top.Controversy still sells when it involves the devil.
