Gracie Abrams Rules at No. 1 for Second Week on U.K. Singles Chart
Gracie Abrams has landed a second week at No. 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart with “That’s So True,” the breakout song from the deluxe edition of her sophomore album, The Secret of Us.
Last week “That’s So True” gave Abrams her maiden chart-topper in the U.K., and follows The Secret of Us debuting at No.1 on the Official Albums Chart back in June. Her second album comes after a starring role as an opener on Taylor Swift‘s mammoth Eras Tour over the past year, which concludes in Canada over the coming weekends.
“That’s So True” is also shaping up to be a rival to end Shaboozey’s record-breaking reign with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” on the Billboard Hot 100. As reported in the The Contenders column, Abrams’ song is performing well on streaming and on social platforms such as TikTok, and currently sits at No. 13 on the Hot 100.
Gigi Perez’s “Sailor Song” remains steady at No. 2, while ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” is also non-mover at No. 3. Elsewhere, Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go!” finds a new peak at No. 4, as Teddy Swims’ “The Door” enters the top five for the first time, completing the week at No. 5.
“Wildflower,” from Billie Eilish’s third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, continues to rise and hits No. 7, giving the singer-songwriter her third top 10 single from the album. British breakout artist Myles Smith takes the week’s highest new entry, with his new single “Nice to Meet You” landing at No. 12, and follows the Luton singer-songwriter’s hit song “Stargazing,” which peaked at No. 4 in the U.K. and at No. 24 on the Hot 100.
The holiday season is fast approaching, as Mariah Carey makes her first entry in the top 40 this year with her Yuletide classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” landing at No. 38, with Wham!’s “Last Christmas” trailing at No. 43.
