Singles
Second week at the top for DaBaby with Rockstar.
Just missing top spot, again, was Ariana Grande, this time performing with Lady Gaga on Rain On Me which debuts at #2. If you want a hit collaboration, Ms Grande is a great choice. This week she is at #2 with Lady Gaga, three weeks ago she debuted at #3 with Justin Bieber on Stuck with U. Prior to this year her collaborations with various artists have cracked the top five six times. Rain on Me is the second single from Lady Gaga’s new album Chromatica.
The only other new release to debut top 50 is Go Crazy from Chris Brown and Young Thug at #34.
Re-entering the chart this week at #19 is Harry Styles with Watermelon Sugar. The track has spent a total of 13 weeks in the top 50 and is moving higher again off the back of the video featuring lots of models, lots of watermelon and lots of touching on the beach.
Albums
A new #1 this week with The 1975 taking Notes on a Conditional Form to the top. It is a second ARIA #1 album for the British band and their fourth album.
