Written by djfrosty on October 7, 2024
Sabrina Carpenter has continued her unstoppable reign on the U.K. Official Singles Chart with her hit “Taste,” which remains at No. 1 for a sixth consecutive week.
Over the past seven days, the track has garnered 6.2 million streams, keeping it comfortably ahead of Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck Babe” at No. 2. Despite its relentless push for the top spot, “Good Luck Babe” still hasn’t managed to surpass Sabrina’s impressive run.
The Weeknd and Playboi Carti have also made their mark with their collaboration “Timeless,” from The Weeknd’s upcoming sixth album Hurry Up, Tomorrow, debuting at No. 7 on the chart. This marks The Weeknd’s 17th Top 10 hit in the U.K., while for Playboi Carti, it’s his second.

Meanwhile, Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower” has been steadily climbing the chart and has now broken into the Top 20 for the first time, landing bang on No. 20.
Billie is no stranger to chart-topping success, having previously reached No. 2 with her 2019 smash hit “Bad Guy.” With “Wildflower” continuing to gain momentum, it could mean Billie may be heading for another chart milestone.
In another impressive leap, Linkin Park’s “Heavy Is The Crown” skyrocketed 48 places this week to No. 18, marking the band’s 20th U.K. Top 40 single. It’s clear that even after years in the game and a new vocalist, their fanbase remains as dedicated as ever, proving their staying power in a constantly evolving music landscape.
Addison Rae also continues to rise, as her song “Diet Pepsi” moved up 15 spots to No. 22. This marks her first time breaking into the U.K. Top 40, marking a major achievement for the emerging pop star.
Rounding out the chart’s newcomers is London MC Nines, who enters the Top 40 at No. 39 with “Going Crazy,” following the release of his final album. His latest effort has garnered enough attention to secure his seventh U.K. Top 40 single.
Additionally, Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season,” named the biggest song of the year so far in the U.K., has made a return to the Top 40, landing at No. 40. The track’s ability to rebound into the chart after slipping out showcases its enduring popularity and appeal across various audiences.
