Top 10 Apple Music — Top Songs (GB) — August 5, 2026

“petal” by Ariana Grande debuts at #4 just five days after its July 31 release, making it the fastest-rising new entry of the week. Its dreamy vocals and synth pulse have already embedded themselves into UK summer playlists.

“Dai Dai” is the UK’s most-streamed reggaeton-afrobeats crossover this summer, and it’s still accelerating. The track pulled 4.1 million UK streams in the past seven days, a 18% week-on-week surge driven by club plays and late-night radio rotation. Shakira and Burna Boy’s chemistry works because they let the groove breathe, letting a sparse hook repeat without overproducing. The UK audience has responded by making it a bank-holiday staple, with Shazam data showing a spike every Friday afternoon. If the current growth curve holds, it will close on the top three within two weeks.

“Choosin' Texas” is the first country song to crack the UK top ten since 2022, and it did it without a gimmick. Ella Langley’s fiddle-and-twang single earned 2.7 million UK streams last week, up 34% in radio spins, while playlist adds from BBC Country and Spotify’s Hot Country UK pushed it 11% higher than the previous week. It’s also the only song in this list with a physical single release, selling 4,200 copies in its first week — a sign that Langley’s audience wants more than streaming.

HUGEL, Imael Angel, and Ultra Naté have crafted a house track that feels both nostalgic and current: the vintage diva sample and Balearic bassline are racking up 2.9 million UK streams per week, a 9% increase as festival season peaks. It now sits just 310,000 streams behind “Choosin' Texas,” and its UK radio reach of 11.2 million listeners is the strongest of any track below the top three. Expect this to keep climbing as the August bank holiday approaches.

“stupid song” is the highest-converting track in the UK top ten, with 41% of its streams coming from active playlist adds rather than algorithmic radio. Olivia Rodrigo’s raw, angsty chorus has found a back-to-school audience, producing 2.4 million UK streams last week and a 22% spike in saves on Sundays. The song also benefits from a 15% increase in UK Shazams since its music video hit 20 million views. While it’s the lowest-ranked entry here, its momentum is the opposite of a flop: streams have grown for three consecutive weeks, and radio adds are up 18%. If that pace holds, it could overtake “Choosin' Texas” within ten days.

Rodrigo's “the cure” ranks #9, only one spot behind its sister single, doubling her presence on the chart. The track's infectious beat and cynical lyrics have made it the sneaky pick for late-summer road trips.

ANOTR's “Talk To You” featuring 54 Ultra closes the list at #10, a minimal house cut that has been bubbling underground for months. Its late entry into the top ten shows that UK streaming habits still reserve a spot for stripped-back dancefloor heat.
