The Vermont singer-songwriter's “Stick Season” (via Republic Records) enters a full month at the top of Official UK Singles Chartcapturing a market-leading 8.7 million streams, OCC reports.

Kahan scores another top 10, his second, as Sam Fender's “Homesick” (Polydor/Republic Records) debuts at No. 5.
