				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first weeks of 2025 were characterised by a very still wave on UK charts: Gracie Abrams continuously claimed the number one position while Rosé finished second and Lola Young attempted a chart climb. Now, however, the dynamics have changed: Young has finally managed to achieve number one and has claimed the position for a few consecutive weeks, while some new entries have debuted in the top five. This week&#8217;s top five songs not only showcase a blend of emerging talents and established artists but also reflect the diverse musical tastes resonating across the country.</p>
<p>Abrams&#8217;s &#8216;<a title="Gracie Abrams Returns to Number One As Christmas Tracks Fall Out of Top Charts" href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/gracie-abrams-returns-to-number-one-as-christmas-tracks-fall-out-of-top-charts/" target="_blank">That&#8217;s So True</a>&#8216;, which charted last week as number three has fallen to the fourteenth position, while &#8216;Apt&#8217; by Rosé and Bruno Mars currently charts at number eight. While we predicted last week that <a title="Lady Gaga Debuts at Number Six With Only Four Days of Tracking" href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/lady-gaga-debuts-at-number-six-with-only-four-days-of-tracking/" target="_blank">Lady Gaga&#8217;s &#8216;Abracadabra&#8217; would challenge Young&#8217;s &#8216;Messy&#8217; for number one</a>, the America Singer has yet to climb to that position and currently charts at number three.</p>
<p>1. <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/61410/lola-young/" target="_blank">Lola Young</a> &#8211; &#8216;<a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/lola-young-messy/" target="_blank">Messy</a>&#8216;</p>
<p>It is British pop sensation <a title="Lola Young Spends Second Week At Number One With ‘Messy’" href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/lola-young-spends-second-week-at-number-one-with-messy/" target="_blank">Lola Young&#8217;s fourth week as number one</a>, after climbing charts for ten weeks. The song originally debuted at number 87, weeks after it was released on streaming platforms; its success is mainly to be attributed to its popularity on the TikTok platform, where it went viral last year. It is the artist&#8217;s first and only song to achieve the number one position, as well as her first song to ever chart.</p>

<p>2. <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7661/kendrick-lamar/" target="_blank">Kendrick Lamar</a> &#8211; &#8216;<a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/kendrick-lamar-not-like-us/" target="_blank">Not Like Us</a>&#8216;</p>
<p>Lamar&#8217;s latest album, &#8216;<em>GNX</em>&#8216;, <a title="Kendrick Lamar hits no.1 on Official Album Charts" href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/kendrick-lamar-hits-no-1-on-official-album-charts/" target="_blank">debuted at number one in the UK upon its release</a>. &#8216;Not Like Us&#8217; originally debuted on UK charts in May of last year at number 10 and eventually fell out of the top 20, charting at 94 two weeks ago. But with Lamar&#8217;s recent (and widely discussed) Super Bowl halftime performance, the song has once again climbed charts.</p>
<p>3. <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/5334/lady-gaga/" target="_blank">Lady Gaga</a> &#8211; &#8216;<a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/lady-gaga-abracadabra-0/" target="_blank">Abracadabra</a>&#8216;</p>
<p>Last week, we had predicted that Gaga&#8217;s spell with &#8216;Abracadabra&#8217; would claim the number one position over Young&#8217;s &#8216;Messy&#8217;, since it has debuted at number six with only a couple days of chart units. However, &#8216;Abracadabra&#8217;  has still to climb a couple positions before it can mark the artist&#8217;s fifth number one song.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vBynw9Isr28?si=kjJcJHXS83eBVQLw" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>4. <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/chappell-roan/" target="_blank">Chappell Roan</a> &#8211; &#8216;<a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/chappell-roan-pink-pony-club/" target="_blank">Pink Pony Club</a>&#8216;</p>
<p>After 13 weeks charting in the UK, this is &#8216;Pink Pony Club&#8217;s peak. The song was originally released in 2023, but it gained more and more popularity throughout the past year when Chappell Roan&#8217;s debuted album &#8216;<a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/albums/chappell-roan-the-rise-and-fall-of-a-midwest-princess/" target="_blank">The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess</a>&#8216; peaked at number one. If the song managed to climb up the charts and reach number one, it would mark the artist&#8217;s first song to achieve the position.</p>
<p>5. <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/chrystal/" target="_blank">Chrystal</a> &#8211; &#8216;<a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/chrystal-the-days/" target="_blank">The Days</a>&#8216;</p>
<p>&#8216;The Days&#8217; is Chrystal&#8217;s first song to make it on the UK&#8217;s Official Songs Charts. It debuted at number 96 in late 2024 and has since been climbing up the charts, peaking at number four for three consecutive weeks. The song was originally released on TikTok, where it gained world wide attention.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 23-year-old rapper, whose flow and sound comes from his uniquely deep voice, has been dropping Valentine&#8217;s tracks since 2017 when he dropped “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Valentine</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” alongside regular collaborator Kush, with the track currently sitting on 3.5 million views on YouTube and 9.5 million Spotify streams, the rapper went on to drop </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Fuck Valentines”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2018 following his success in 2017 with </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Valentine”.” Fuck Valentine</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” had the same reception, as the track dropped a year prior and set off Abra&#8217;s annual Valentine&#8217;s track or project. The rapper went completely off the map in 2019, taking a hiatus from the music scene. In 2020 and 2021, the rapper made up for his absence in 2019 with two Valentine&#8217;s projects. The first to be released was entitled </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">LOL: Love or Lust</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a five track E.P. Abra gained a combined 13 million streams on Spotify, and was matched next year with another project; a four track E.P. with the title </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mixed Emotions, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">which s</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">aw the rapper return to his Valentine artwork, similar to the 2017 and 2018 releases. The </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mixed Emotions EP</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> lead single </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Mixed Emotions</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">” was released on Valentine&#8217;s day and gained 7 million youtube views on Abra&#8217;s own channel, as well as 22 million streams on Spotify.</span></p>
<p>Abra&#8217;s new single has only been out for 3 days but already sits on over 100 thousand streams on Spotify and YouTube views. Abra&#8217;s deep voice and relaxed flow make his valentines tracks instant hits with his voice sitting on the melodic beats effortlessly.</p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Double Double”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is the OFB rapper&#8217;s first release of 2022, with it having been 2 years since the rapper&#8217;s last project. Fans of the multi-genre artists will be anticipating a release from Abra Cadabra this year as he continues to grow strength to strength with each release.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abra Cadabra&#8217;s new Valentine&#8217;s Day track</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “Double Double”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is available to watch here:</span><br />
