Rising American talent Bella Kay secures her first-ever Official Top 10 single with iloveitiloveitiloveit, with the track climbing an astonishing 22 places this week (4).
Entering the Top 40 only two weeks ago, the tune transcends its social media success to become one of the most popular hits of 2026 so far.
Bella began releasing music in the summer of 2025, with her first single The Sick dropping in August and peaking at Number 72, with the breakout star on a sharp upward trajectory ever since.
Sam Fender and Olivia Dean make it two consecutive weeks at the top with Rein Me In. The record-breaking anthem continues its streak as it eyes the coveted Song of the Year prize at this weekend’s BRIT Awards in Manchester.
Dean’s So Easy (To Fall In Love) narrowly misses out on top spot, spending a second at Number 2. Olivia’s bagged four nominations at the BRITs 2026 for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Act and was also recently announced as this year’s Record Store Day UK ambassador.
What a week for PinkPantheress! After being announced as this year’s BRITs Producer of the Year, she now finds Stateside up six to a new peak with its rise, in part, to the popularity of its remix featuring vocals from Zara Larsson. (3).
Moreover, sombr’s Homewrecker soars two from last week to earn the track its personal best (5).
Elsewhere, Just The Way You Are from Milky elevates three places (11), while there are new peaks for Charli xcx’s Chains of Love, up five (12), and Dying for You, which lifts three (24).
And while we’re on the subject of Wuthering Heights, Kate Bush’s original, which hit Number 1 in 1978 and stayed there for four consecutive weeks, has re-entered the Top 40 for the first time since that very same year! (40).
Congratulations to Dominic Fike and Babydoll, which breaks the Top 20 for the very first time, as the 2018 banger continues its renewed popularity streak (18).
Twenty One Pilots’ Drag Path, released as a standalone single, earns the rock outfit their fifth Top 40 accolade (23), as Dracula from Tame Impala moves four, partly thanks to its remix with BLACKPINK member JENNIE (28).
Sean Paul and Keyshia Cole link-up (When You Gonna) Give It Up To Me elevates five, after the track re-entered the Top 40 for the first time in 20 years thanks to a social media resurgence (33).
And finally, congratulations go to new seven-piece boy band December 10. The group, formed on Netflix talent show Simon Cowell: The Next Act, secure the best-selling single of the week, with debut track Run My Way topping the Official Vinyl Singles Chart and Official Singles Sales Chart. Keep an eye on these lads in 2026.
