Now celebrating its 18th non-consecutive week at the summit of the Official Singles Chart, “Rein Me In” stands on the brink of breaking the historic record outright next week to become the single longest-running UK Number 1 in history. Music fans will be tuning into Official Chart: First Look on BBC Radio 1 on Sunday 26 July 2026 to see if the track is on course to claim the title permanently.
Directly behind the record-equaling hit, Shakira and Burna Boy’s official 2026 World Cup anthem “Dai Dai” continues its strong momentum, rising three places to Number 2. Dutch electronic duo ANOTR and 54 Ultra also reached new chart heights as their summer dance hit “Talk To You” climbed to Number 3. Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” held steady to match its previous peak at Number 5, while Prospa and Cloonee’s “Free Your Mind” rose to Number 6.
K-pop icons BTS secured the week’s highest new entry, as “NORMAL”—taken from their chart-topping album ARIRANG—debuted at Number 36, giving the South Korean group their 13th UK Top 40 hit. Further up the charts, several singles achieved new personal bests, including HUGEL’s “Movin’ To The Sun” (11), Stella Lefty’s “Boston” (15), Sienna Spiro’s “Great Expectations” (19), and Alyssa Grace’s “bloodstream” (23).
Elsewhere, Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” surged 12 places to Number 25, while Noah Kahan picked up his ninth UK Top 40 hit as “Orbiter” entered at Number 40. Coinciding with Gracie Abrams’ album chart victory with Daughter From Hell, her single “Hit The Wall” returned to the Top 40 at Number 32. Additionally, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars re-entered the chart at Number 31 with “Die With A Smile” as Mars continues his run of live shows at London’s Wembley Stadium.
