The records keep falling for Sabrina Carpenter as she reaches another week at No.1 The Official UK Singles Chart. The singer is the first artist in 71 years to spend 20 weeks at No.1 in a single calendar year.
Carpenter's “Taste” spends an eighth consecutive week at the top of the chart and becomes the longest-running No. 1 single of the year, dethroning Noah Kahan's “Stick Season.” Between “Espresso” (seven weeks) and “Please Please Please” (five weeks), Carpenter becomes only the second artist in chart history to spend that long at No. 1.
The only other artist to achieve a similar feat was Frankie Laine's 28-week reign in 1953. The US singer spent 18 non-consecutive weeks at No.1 with “I Believe”, which remains the UK's longest-running No.1 single Vassiliou never, two weeks with “Hey Joe” and another eight with “Answer Me”.
There will be happy faces everywhere for Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars as their collaborative single 'Die With a Smile' soars to a new peak at No.2 and could soon become a challenger for the top spot in the coming weeks.
Elsewhere, Gracie Abrams lands her first top 10 single with “I Love You, I'm Sorry” at No. 4 and Sonny Fodera, Jazzy and DOD round out the top five with “Somedays.”
The “Hot to Go!” by Chappell Roan! hits a new peak at No. 6, while Charli XCX and Ariana Grande's remix of “Sympathy Is a Knife” ends the week at No. 7.
KSI and Trippie Redd's “Thick of It” climbs six places to No. 8 to become KSI's Trippie Redd's ninth and first top 10 single.
