Trend Analysis

Pop and alternative-pop dominate the top 10, with male-female vocal collaborations (Sam Fender & Olivia Dean, Dave & Tems) and solo female artists (Olivia Dean, Olivia Rodrigo, RAYE) shaping the sound. Bella Kay’s 'iloveitiloveitiloveit' at #3 is the week’s most surprising entry — an indie track released in January that’s suddenly viral. Alex Warren earns two spots (#5 and #8), hinting at a cult following for his hyper-emotional style. The Bieber resurrected hit 'Beauty and a Beat' sticks out: a 14-year-old track outperforming current chart peers. This list reveals a UK audience that’s nostalgic yet eager for new blood, with no rap or dance dominance. Expect more Olivia Rodrigo crossovers as her album rollout continues.
