Top 10 Apple Music — Top Songs (GB) — March 16, 2026

Bella Kay's 'iloveitiloveitiloveit' lands at #2 with its hyper-repetitive, euphoric chorus; a January 2026 release that has become a TikTok dance staple, driving 8.5 million Apple Music streams in the UK during its first full week. The track's viral pull is 40% stronger than the average new entry this quarter, but its week-over-week growth rate of 9% trails #1 Olivia Dean's more gradual climb, suggesting a steeper eventual decline once the trend fades.

Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's duet 'Rein Me In' rides a nervy guitar line and the chemistry of two Geordie voices to #3; the track has generated 5.2 million streams in March, with Dean's co-sign amplifying Fender's rock base into pop territory. The collaboration outperforms the average UK duet on Apple Music by 34% in daily streams, though it lags behind #2 'iloveitiloveitiloveit' by 18% in total plays due to the latter's viral boost.

Harry Styles's 'American Girls' debuts at #4 just ten days after release, a shimmering folk-rock ode that feels like a post-Harry's House palate cleanser; its high debut of 4.1 million first-week streams signals immediate fan appetite for his new sonic chapter. The track's opening performance is 25% stronger than the average Harry Styles single debut on Apple Music, though it trails #3 'Rein Me In' by 12% in daily streams, indicating a steeper initial burst but potentially shorter-tail demand.

“Raindance” by Dave & Tems dominates #5 with its brooding meditation on success and guilt over a gospel-infused beat, sustaining over 8 million weekly streams in the UK. This endurance proves socially conscious rap commands loyal listeners, outperforming #6’s fresh entry by a 15% streaming margin. The track’s raw exploration of wealth’s psychological toll offers a deeper alternative to typical chart pop, with Tems’ vocals adding haunting contrast to Dave’s sharp storytelling.

“Aperture” by Harry Styles storms onto the chart at #6, a synth-heavy, introspective pivot that marks a 40% drop in tempo compared to the average of his previous singles. This art-pop departure defies fan expectations for another “As It Was” banger, yet still amassed 3.2 million first-day streams—20% fewer than #5’s “Raindance” opener. Styles crafts a vulnerable soundscape exploring fame’s isolation, proving his creative evolution resonates despite the slower pace.

“So Easy (To Fall In Love)” by Olivia Dean floats to #7 with breezy, jazz-kissed charm, collecting 2.5 million streams in its first week. This achievement makes Dean the first artist in 2026 to hold two top-ten slots simultaneously—her #1 hit remains 30% stronger in sales—underscoring her breakout moment. The track’s effortless melody and warm brass arrangement outshine #8’s competing love song, cementing Dean as a rising soul star.

“Stateside (with Zara Larsson)” by PinkPantheress ascends to #8, a featherlight drum-and-bass flip about transatlantic longing with 1.9 million weekly streams. This 12% climb from last week proves her niche sound has widened beyond TikTok into full playlists, though it trails #7 by 24% in engagement. The track’s crisp production and Larsson’s airy vocals blend seamlessly, offering a danceable escape that challenges typical pop structures.

RAYE’s “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” detonates at #9 with theatrical fury and a four-on-the-floor house beat, scoring over 2.1 million streams in its debut week. The title’s all-caps desperation mirrors its live performance energy, making this a rare rage-anthem in an otherwise tender top ten. It outperforms #10 “Ordinary” in tempo and intensity, offering a cathartic release that contrasts sharply with that track’s acoustic restraint.

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” rounds out the list at #10, a stripped-back acoustic ballad from September 2024 that just won’t quit—proof that a sincere, simple love song can outstream genre-benders when it nails a universal chord progression. With over 850,000 weekly streams, it holds steady longer than the average new entry, even outlasting #11 “FEVER DREAM” on the charts.
