Like the albums we saw on this week’s top ten, the tunes topping the song charts haven’t changed much in the past couple months. After the festive slump where the top twenty was solely occupied by Christmas songs, the UK’s top ten is now, once again, overtaken by those songs that we know all too well and that are set to be breaking records with their unbelievable longevity in the top five. Gracie Abrams has yet to leave the number one spot, with Rosé right behind with her collaboration with Bruno Mars and some new additions challenging the two certified chart toppers for the positions. Here’s a look at all the songs on the UK’s top ten:
1. Gracie Abrams – ‘That’s so True’
The song off of Abrams’s deluxe version of ‘The Secret of Us‘ is currently on its seventh week charting. It debuted on UK charts at number nineteenth shortly after its release in October, and ever since it’s been a staple in the top five. It is Gracie’s first and only song to achieve this position. The artist will be beginning her UK tour in early March, performing at London’s O2 Arena for a sold out show.
2. Rosé and Bruno Mars – ‘Apt‘
On its 11th week in the top ten, ‘Apt’ has made numbers on radios and social media but has still to claim the number one position. It has charted at number two for three non-consecutive weeks, and its popularity has helped Rosé’s debut album ‘Rosie‘ peak at number four shortly after its release. Last week, Official Charts has revealed the song was close to dethroning Gracie’s number one hit: will next week bring a climb of charts for Rosé?
3. Lola Young – ‘Messy‘
The TikTok viral hit ‘Messy’ is on its ninth week on charts and is finally getting closer to becoming a certified chart-topper. It charted at number three last week and it is proving its longevity, challenging Gracie and Rosé. With three weeks spent in the top ten, it is Lola Young’s biggest hit to date and her only song to make it in the UK’s top 100.
4. Gigi Perez – ‘Sailor Song’
What started off as a viral song on social media has once again made its way back to the charts. It was Gigi Perez’s first song to chart in the UK, and it has now spent 24 weeks in the top 100. It has previously peaked at number one, and has spent 11 weeks in the top 10. It fell down the charts during the month of December but came back stronger than ever, and has spent the past two weeks at number four.
Jimin’s ‘Who’ has made a big comeback on UK charts, climbing up from last week’s 64th position. It debuted on charts in August, peaking at number four in its debut week, but afterwards it failed to hold its position and fell out the charts. Last week, it made a comeback in the top 100 and quickly climbed back up; is it meant to stay this time?
