Abrams’s ‘That’s So True‘, which charted last week as number three has fallen to the fourteenth position, while ‘Apt’ by Rosé and Bruno Mars currently charts at number eight. While we predicted last week that Lady Gaga’s ‘Abracadabra’ would challenge Young’s ‘Messy’ for number one, the America Singer has yet to climb to that position and currently charts at number three.

1. Lola Young – ‘Messy‘

It is British pop sensation Lola Young’s fourth week as number one, 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’s first and only song to achieve the number one position, as well as her first song to ever chart.

2. Kendrick Lamar – ‘Not Like Us‘

Lamar’s latest album, ‘GNX‘, debuted at number one in the UK upon its release. ‘Not Like Us’ 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’s recent (and widely discussed) Super Bowl halftime performance, the song has once again climbed charts.

3. Lady Gaga – ‘Abracadabra‘

Last week, we had predicted that Gaga’s spell with ‘Abracadabra’ would claim the number one position over Young’s ‘Messy’, since it has debuted at number six with only a couple days of chart units. However, ‘Abracadabra’  has still to climb a couple positions before it can mark the artist’s fifth number one song.

4. Chappell Roan – ‘Pink Pony Club‘

After 13 weeks charting in the UK, this is ‘Pink Pony Club’s peak. The song was originally released in 2023, but it gained more and more popularity throughout the past year when Chappell Roan’s debuted album ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess‘ peaked at number one. If the song managed to climb up the charts and reach number one, it would mark the artist’s first song to achieve the position.

5. Chrystal – ‘The Days‘

‘The Days’ is Chrystal’s first song to make it on the UK’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.

6. Chrystal – ‘The Days‘

Last week, the track had peaked at number five, and it is now holding tight to the top ten. Originally released in 2024, the song climbed charts slowly but steady after going viral on TikTok and became Chrystal’s first single to chart in the UK. The Bolton-based DJ has now signed, thanks to the song’s popularity, a contract with Polydor records. Her songs had been previously featured on BBC, but with ‘The Days’ Chrystal finally achieved her breakthrough, and we’ll surely see more from her.

7. Teddy Swims - ‘The Door‘

Teddy Swim’s hit has now spent 37 weeks in the UK top 100, six of which in the top ten. ‘I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy‘ was included in Official Chart’s list of biggest albums of 2024 at number 34 after peaking at number twelve and spending more than fifty weeks on charts. ‘The Door’ has peaked at number five but fell down to number 65 at the end of December; it seems like now, however, Teddy Swims is ready to make a big comeback and perhaps climb up to that top three that the song has yet to reach.

8. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars – ‘Die With a Smile‘

It is Bruno Mars’s second song in the top ten, and has earned Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars the titles of second and first artists on Spotify. The song was a surprise drop and released in August of 2024. Despite the hype around the song, it has yet to reach the number one position, and has so far peaked at number two. Charting at number eight last week, it has made a comeback on charts and perhaps will be climbing the top ten once more.

9. Teddy Swims – ‘Bad Dreams‘

Another song by Teddy Swims in the top ten, it has charted for sixteen weeks so far and four in the top ten, peaking at number six. Despite being active on the music scene for over a decade, the artist has had his breakthrough in the past couple years thanks to his latest album and its singles.

10. Wicked Soundtrack – ‘Defying Gravity‘

The chart-defying tune off Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s screen-adaptation of ‘Wicked‘ has charted for two consecutive weeks at number ten after peaking at number seven at the beginning of December. While Idina and Kristen’s ‘Defying Gravity‘ had peaked at number 79, and the Glee Version of the song at number 38, Cynthia Erivo is proving to be the highest peaking version of Elphaba.

After spending last week at number 21 and the previous two at number two, ‘That’s So True‘ by Gracie Abrams returned to number one, becoming the first number one song of 2025. ‘That’s So True’ became a hit after being released alongside the deluxe version of Abrams’s second full length album, ‘The Secret of Us‘, which also contains a song featuring Taylor Swift. It is Abrams’s first number one song, after ‘I Love You, I’m Sorry’ peaked at number four. The song is currently on its sixth week at number one and overall it has spent eleven weeks charting with a debut at number nineteen. In March, Abrams will embark on a completely sold out tour of the UK, where she’ll play the O2 Arena in London, which has a capacity of 20,000: a big step compared to the 2,000 people venues she played last year on her ‘Good Riddance Tour’.

At number two, Rosé and Bruno Mars are still going strong with their ‘Apt‘, originally released as the lead single for Rosé’s debut solo album ‘Rosie‘ which peaked at number one and spent two weeks in the UK top 100. The song, which has already become a radio classic, debuted at number four and eventually peaked at number two, always blocked by Abrams. Last week, the song was charting at number 28 but it made a comeback to the top spots of the charts big enough that it might even achieve that number one position in the upcoming weeks. In the meantime, Bruno Mars’s collaboration with Lady Gaga ‘Die With a Smile‘ was included in the biggest songs of 2024, claiming the 37th spot in the list.

At number three, London-based Lola Young peaks with TikTok viral ‘Messy‘. The song first appeared on charts at the end of November at number 87. Slowly but steadily, it climbed charts and finally reached the top ten! Young was nominated for a BRITs rising star award back in 2021, and was included in BBC’s Sound of 2022 poll where she arrived fourth. Despite already being recognised in the UK music industry, Young gains her breakthrough song with ‘Messy’, which is the only song by the artist to ever chart. Official Charts included Young’s an artist to watch in 2025, and her hit song is predicted to achieve an even higher position in the weeks to come.

At number four, a big comeback for ‘Sailor Song‘ by Gigi Perez that had previously fallen out of the top ten; Perez takes back the top spots and tries to climb back to number one which ‘Sailor Song’ had achieved at the beginning of November. Number five is a song that is new to the top spots of charts: ‘The Days‘ by Chrystal, like Young, also had a slow ascent towards the number one position but it is now getting there and did not let the festive slump stop it!
