Tion Wayne & Russ Millions' Body earns second huge week at Number 1 as BRITs performers enjoy post-show uplift
Body by Tion Wayne & Russ Millions claims a second week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.
The landmark drill Number 1 scores 81,000 chart sales in its biggest week yet, including 11.8 million streams - double the plays of its closest competition – to hold off Lil Nas X’s Montero (Call Me By Your Name) at 2.
Meanwhile, several acts who performed at this week’s BRIT Awards enjoy a post-show uplift, led by The Weeknd, who sees Save Your Tears climb three to a new peak at Number 5. Anywhere Away From Here by Rag’n’Bone Man & P!nk – which the pair performed with the Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir - rockets 22 places to Number 9. Proceeds from the new version of the single, released immediately after their show-closing performance, go to NHS Charities.

Elsewhere in the Top 20, Coldplay earn the week’s highest new entry with Higher Power at Number 12, in part thanks to their performance at the BRITs. It marks their 21st Top 20 hit and the band’s highest-charting single since 2017’s Chainsmokers collaboration Something Just Like This which peaked at Number 2.

Trippie Redd’s new single Miss The Rage ft. Playboi Carti opens at Number 32, and Black Hole by BRITs Rising Star winner Griff rebounds 12 places to Number 35 following Tuesday’s ceremony.
Finally, Los Angeles-based House producer Noizu makes his Top 40 debut with Summer 91 (Looking Back) at Number 39. Originally released in summer 2020, the track has enjoyed a steady climb up the Top 100 for the past nine weeks.

‘Body’ had nearly a 2:1 lead over ‘Montero [Call Me By Your Name]’, so this could very well be another 6+ week #1 hit! :O
I still like the original a lot, but again, just like with the last leader, it’ll probably become overexposed by the end of the month & I’ll get bored of it by then, haha.
Rob Parkinson
Yeah its showing no signs of slowing down, I'm bored of it already me lol
Piran
If I remember correctly, BuzzJack had 'Body' at 58k combined sales in yesterday's update, while 'Montero [Call Me By Your Name]' was at 32k! :P
Hopefully 'Kiss Me More' can at least take the runner-up position next week though.
Rob Parkinson
Yeah I'll have my fingers crossed. 'Kiss me more' certainly has happier more summer vibes, hopefully it will keep gaining momentum and be able to challenge for the top spot soon but 'body' is gaining loads right now.
Piran
I don't think 'Kiss Me More' has peaked just yet though. :)

We’re relying on Olivia Rodrigo to save us then, haha. :)
