NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 29: The Weeknd performs onstage during the 2018 Global Citizen Concert at ... [+]
Tones and I’s “Dance Monkey” is a non-mover at No. 1 on the U.K. singles ranking, earning a tenth stay in the penthouse. The Australian singer-songwriter’s first true smash is now one of the longest-running leaders in the country’s history, and it might not be done just yet.
The entire top four looks exactly as it did last time around, with Lewis Capaldi’s “Before I Go,” Stormzy, Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran’s “Own It” and Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” holding at Nos. 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
Newcomer Arizona Zervas sees his breakout cut “Roxanne” lift into the top five for the first time, jumping from No. 7 to No. 5. Coincidentally, this is the tune’s fifth frame on the chart. Behind Zervas, Billie Eilish’s new cut “Everything I Wanted” dips slightly to No. 6 while Maroon 5’s “Memories” hits No. 7.
For the sixth instance in its lifetime, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You” finds itself in the top 10 in the U.K., proving that it really is perhaps the most successful holiday tune of all time. This week, the inescapable behemoth rockets from No. 34 to No. 8, earning a twenty-first stay in the top 10. It is sure to continue its upward surge as December progresses.
Sheeran doubles up inside the top 10 once again, as his collaboration with Camila Cabello and Cardi B, the Latin-tinged “South of the Border,” keeps at No. 9.
New to the top 10 is The Weeknd’s “Heartless,” which jumps into the highest tier after debuting on the chart at No. 64 last frame. The track bolts to No. 10 after a full week of activity was tracked, as the tune initially premiered halfway into a week. The title, which previews a new project from the Canadian R&B superstar, is the seventh top 10 for The Weeknd. The musician’s other current focus, “Blinding Lights,” misses the highest region by just two spots, as it opens at No. 12.
