Charli XCX’s Brat finally tops chart as James Blunt misses out

Must read

In the singles chart, Carpenter made history by becoming the first artist in 71 years to spend 20 weeks at number one in a single year.

Her song Taste is number one for the eighth consecutive week and is now 2024’s longest-running number one single, overtaking Noah Kahan’s Stick Season.

Carpenter also spent seven weeks at number one earlier this year with Espresso, and five weeks at number one with Please Please Please.

She equals a record set by Frankie Laine in 1953, who spent 20 weeks at the top of the chart with the songs I Believe, Hey Joe and Answer Me.

Elsewhere, KSI’s much-talked about track Thick Of It has become his ninth top 10 single.

The YouTuber, who is currently appearing as a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent, told the Official Charts company: “To all my fans, thank you so much. To all the haters – haha! Stay mad!”
