Written by djfrosty on January 17, 2025
Gracie Abrams continues her reign over the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, landing her eighth week at No. 1 with “That’s So True.”
The track, from the U.S. songwriter’s second LP The Secret Of Us, first hit the top spot in November, where it remained for five consecutive weeks until Wham!’s festive classic “Last Christmas” reached the summit. “That’s So True” marked Abrams’ first No. 1 in the U.K., and has stayed in the top spot following the holiday season.
Abrams’ closest challengers also maintain the same chart positions as the tally datedJan. 10. ROSÉ and Bruno Mars team-up “APT.” stands at No. 2, while Lola Young’s “Messy” comes in once again at No. 3.
Gigi Perez’ previous chart-topper “Sailor Song” lands at No. 4, while “The Days” from Bolton-born DJ and producer Chrystal rounds out the top five.
