Olivia Rodrigo cruises into a second week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart as Drivers License boasts another huge week of sales and streams.
The singer, songwriter and actor’s debut original single easily holds on to this week’s top spot, with 117,000 chart sales – a figure three times higher than her closest rival.
Drivers License notched up 13.7 million streams this week – the biggest one-week figure for a Number 1 single in two years, since Ariana Grande’s 7 Rings debuted at the top with 16.9 million streams in January 2019. Watch Rodrigo's reaction to her first UK Number 1 below:

Rodrigo scores a second entry on this week’s Top 40: her song All I Want, recorded for Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, lands at Number 32.
This week’s highest new entry goes to Anne-Marie, KSI and Digital Farm Animals, who debut at Number 2 with Don’t Play. It becomes Anne-Marie's highest-charting single as a lead artist, following 2018’s Number 3-peaking 2002, as well as a personal best for KSI and Digital Farm Animals. Last November the pair reached Number 3 with Craig David collaboration Really Love.
Rounding out this week’s Top 3 is Ariana Grande, who hits a new peak with 34+35 – up eight places to Number 3 - following a new remix of the song released last week featuring Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat.
Elsewhere in the Top 10, there are new highs for The Kid Laroi’s Without You (5) and Meduza’s Paradise ft. Dermot Kennedy (6), both up one place.

Goosebumps by Spanish-born producer HVME leaps ten places to 15 following a new remix featuring the song’s original creator Travis Scott. Tiesto’s The Business leaps five places to 16, and Nathan Dawe & Little Mix’s No Time For Tears breaks into the Top 20, up three to 19.
Further down, Doja Cat’s 2019 single Streets makes its Top 40 debut following viral TikTok success, up 39 places at Number 20, and late rapper Juice Wrld claims his 10th Top 40 hit with Bad Boy ft. Young Thug at Number 31.
Finally, sea shanty Wellerman by The Longest Johns sails into the Top 40 at Number 37 following enormous viral success on TikTok, earning the Decca Records-signed Bristol band – comprising of Jonathan “JD” Darley, Andy Yates, Robbie Sattin and Dave Robinson - their first chart hit.
A rendition of Wellerman uploaded by Scottish postman Nathan Evans last month sent sea shanties trending worldwide on the platform, dubbed ShantyTok. Evans has since signed a record deal with Polydor and today releases his own version of Wellerman alongside a remix with 220 Kid and Billen Ted.

And to settle reigns at number one once and for all while the reigns of Frankley Lane,Bryan Adams and Drake were impressive in the UK you have to go stateside to the US and Canada for their all time record chartoppers..1st in the US with 19 weeks is Lil Naz X and Billy Ray Cyrus with Old Town Road and then Canada with 24 weeks for Sir Elton John's Princess Diana reworking of Candle In The Wind '97..Now back to normal UK chart discussions.
thierry henon
2 Top 20 for DOJA CAT this week: ammmmmmazing!! so happy to see her having so much success lately in the UK
thierry henon
DOJA CAT at number 3!! so happy to see her back in the Top 5..the same for MEGAN THEE STALLION(without the overrated cardi b.)
thierry henon
Dermot Kennedy reaching a new peak!! yeah!! really thought after seeing the mid week chart update that he would have dropped a few places: glad i was wrong!!
thierry henon
Happy to see ANNE MARIE back in the Top 10!!

#1 in the proper paid-sales countdown With Downloads and Don't Play knocked off Drivers License By Olivia, but with streaming huge record gain units for the high school musical star for Singles, her record of paid sales are very low with only 8K Copies shifted in 2 Weeks, with 3,914 + 4,12, Audio Streams for Singles within the UK is Mainly a huge portion of Label Top Playlist and Playlist Shared with just some of Your Choice demand per search and play.
thierry henon
Congrats to Olivia! I am sure she will remain at number 1 for a few more weeks..8 maybe?
Alfred Lock
Maybe so.but nowhere near the all time unbroken record of Frankie Laines' 1953 monster smash of 18 consecutive weeks at 1 with I Believe...Ask your 80 something Grandparents...They'll remember him.
Mark Booker
Frankie Laines no 1 run was 3 seperate runs
Bryan Adams still holds the record for most consecutive weeks at no 1 with Everything I Do 16 weeks
julesin09
Might have to ask their “great grandparents” lol
Alfred Lock
Yes he does and thank goodness fellow Canadian Drake(don't really like his stuff) was stopped from tying with him by another fellow Canadian Justin Bieber ,Danish singer MØ and Jamaican/US dance combo Major Lazer with Cold Water in 2016.
Piran
I called it! :D
Nothing was ever coming close to catching 'Drivers License' this week! I'm so happy for Olivia, especially with her getting another Top 40 entry with 'All I Want' (a song that isn't even an official single, haha).
BleeUK
Yeah she brilliant with streams broken record for top but however with Paid-sales, it very low less than 10K (8K) For 2 weeks 3,914 & 4,124 , she was was knocked off the top on Paid-Sales & Download Charts this week by Don't Play By Anne Marie/KSI & Digital Farm Animals, U would think the massive track-streams would be having heavy download support too, The Streams for charts within the UK is mainly Top playlist and shared stream count toward the singles with just some of the your choice hits Spins.
Piran
Yeah, sales are terrible right now, but I guess that just truly highlights how many more people are turning to streaming now! :O
BleeUK
I guess, your right, we know everyone is mainly streaming, but the problem we have here in the UK for chart data for singles, for streaming, is the priority takes in count of playlist Channels the most (Hot Hits/UK Top 40 etc) by record label frequently,"or Passive Plays" and shared or just have on in background or running, more than searching yourself and playing your hits you want, it needs to revamped and fresh each week mainly, i honestly believe that data of streaming would be more fair for Alt/Indie and other stars/genre classic artist, different songs, maybe it might be lower units per week than it is but you wont get all this glued charts of nearly/over a year in the charts Top 40 from tagged label share, also I hope I Tunes gets boosted soon again for download spec soon ! drop it to 39/49P each track than 99p & produce new music to stock of CD and Vinyls again for supermarkets, and Online Access to challenge playlist Control
julesin09
It wasn’t really a stretch to have “called it” was it really?
Piran
Not really, but there were so many KSI stans doubting me earlier in the week, hence why I said what I did! :P
