Olivia Rodrigo holds at the summit of the Official Singles Chart for a sixth consecutive week, denying Lil Tjay & 6LACK a Number 1 debut in a very close race for the top spot.
Drivers License faced off this week with Lil Tjay & 6LACK’s Calling My Phone, which, after leading in the midweeks, enters at Number 2, finishing just 1,700 chart sales behind.
Though Calling My Phone has finished at Number 2, it’s the most streamed track of the week, with 7.2 million plays. Originally teased by rapper Lil Tjay back in December before bringing on singer & rapper 6LACK, Calling My Phone is the latter’s first ever Top 40 hit in the UK, while Lil Tjay previously featured on Pop Smoke’s Top 5 single Mood Swings in 2020.
Another big Top 10 entry comes from Riton & Nightcrawlers’ Friday ft. Mufasa & Hypeman which climbs six places to yet another new peak at Number 10.
Taylor Swift’s Love Story (Taylor’s Version) – a new recording of her 2008 hit Love Story – lands at Number 12 to become her 35th Top 40 hit, while ATB’s Your Love (9pm) with Topic and A7S lifts two places to Number 21.
Yet more new entries are up next, from West London rapper Central Cee’s Commitment Issues (23), Dua Lipa’s We’re Good (25) and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK contestants United Kingdolls with UK Hun? (27).

Ava Max’s My Head & My Heart climbs six to a new peak (29), and 2019 Eurovision winner Duncan Laurence also climbs six to 33 with his winning entry, the now-viral Arcade (33), landing just ahead of Headie One’s Siberia ft. Burna Boy (35) from the new deluxe version of his 2020 album Edna – his ninth Top 40 track.
Finally, Slowthai seizes a place in the Top 40 with Cancelled ft. Skepta. The single from his new album Tyron lands at Number 39 to become the rapper’s first ever Top 40 hit.

Thank god 'Calling My Phone' didn't go #1. To all the people who streamed this song, get better taste in music.
Joshua Sombra
Get a new No.1 immediately.
Joshua Sombra
'Drivers License' is a boring song. Don't know why it bothered to be No.1 again. Guys this song is rubbish and she thinks that it is a good song. New No.1 next week. Can't be bothered with that stupid song. She doesn't deserve it imo.
thierry henon
Still surprised to see DUNCAN LAWRENCE having more success now than 2 years ago when ARCADE was released: so happy as it is an amazing track!!
thierry henon
AVA MAX finally getting another Top 30: her 4th i reckon? Amazing news..hope she can make next week to the Top 20!
thierry henon
Great news for Olivia! Do hope she can remain for another few weeks at number 1...Will love RITON then to be our new number 1!!
Joshua Sombra
Literally a boring song so it won't be No.1 next week.
BleeUK
Fact : Wellerman stays on Top for Sales & Download Charts. but for Singles From Week 1 to 6: Drivers License only clocked up 18,547 pure sales in UK (477,928 total units with Streaming points)

‘Drivers License’ managed to pull back throughout the week after all! Probably for the better, since I forgot what ‘Calling My Phone’ sounded like after literally the first listen.
I definitely think the former won’t last the rest of the month at #1 though, which I’m honestly okay with! It’s still an awesome song, but six weeks is enough for it now. :)
Augustus Doministrix
Thank Christ
Piran
I don't know what's replacing it next week though, but it's definitely vulnerable now! :P
Joshua Sombra
How do you think that song 'Drivers License' is good. I really hate it. All the drama between two people. It drives me crazy and it is a ballad which I don't like about it. She won't be big in the future because people will have had enough of the drama between Sabrina and Josh. It's really putting me off.
Joshua Sombra
I am sorry but it is the truth.
Joshua Sombra
Hopefully not this trash song.
Joshua Sombra
No wonder she isn't known by her name.
Joshua Sombra
Definitely which I am glad about.
Piran
Yeah, the drama between Olivia & Sabrina is unnecessary, but I actually like ballads & you can tell that the former is a really good singer for her age! Just my opinion. :)
Shadowcat222
This is only a disney strategy....always the same : a boy, two girls a blonde, a brunette...and thats it, look at the past disnet shows....the song is fine but...I think Im too old now...
Piran
Yeah, it seems like the drama has definitely fuelled the sales for both songs at this point! :P
