UK TOP 100 7.11.25 #58
THE TOP TEN:
10. Elizabeth Taylor - Taylor Swift (Down 2/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart)
9. Thriller – Michael Jackson (Up 24/NEW PEAK/62 weeks in chart)
8. Pussy Palace – Lily Allen (Up 4/NEW PEAK/2 weeks in chart)
7. Raindance – Dave/Tems (Down 2/Sales fall/2 weeks in chart)
6. So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Olivia Dean (Up 1/Sales fall/6 weeks in chart)
5. Man I Need – Olivia Dean (Up 1/Sales fall/12 weeks in chart)
4. Opalite – Taylor Swift (No change/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart)
3. Where Is My Husband! - RAYE (No change/Sales fall/7 weeks in chart)
2. The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift (No change/Sales fall/5 weeks in chart)
1. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (No change/Sales fall/10 weeks at No. 1/20 weeks in chart)
NEW ENTRIES:
91. Come N Go – Yeat (6.5/10)
After hearing some of Yeat's other music, I wasn't too much in the mood to hear this, but after seeing the full album's user score, I was curious how different this would be from Gunna and such artists. Now, am I disappointed? I mean, yeah. This is a little different from bottom-of-the-barrel-sounding mainstream-tuned rap drops, but it still regardless fits the theme lyrically and in the song's passion. I'm just not getting much more here that I want.
62. Sympathy Magic - Florence + The Machine (7.4/10)
A song about healing in which Florence belts out high vocals in full F+TM style; my favourite part would have to be the ending where the song's title repeats into a fade-out section. With that being said, I didn't connect with this too much; I feel it's missing something larger to keep you gripped.
56. I Run - Haven (6/10)
Apparently this is Haven's first charting appearance in 21 years, which makes me curious what Haven was like back then, of course, because this is a very modern summery-sounding dance tune with electronics that make me think of ones similar to the production on "Dior". Overall this is too standard for something upbeat; it feels plain. Not much else to say.
51. Berghain – Rosalía/Björk/Yves Tumour (7.9/10)
"Berghain" is a song that I've been seeing get rounds of praise on social media; people are liking how it makes them think of Beethoven with the fast tempo and choir-like background, and as someone who's heard THREE Björk albums this year (Homogenic, Vespertine & Post), saying I was excited to hear what she created with the "Motomami" singer was an understatement. "Berghain" plays like a theatre, with fast strings and a female opera voice coming in as if it's opening to a key scene. The song is supposed to capture the energy of the Berlin nightclub, too, which the full orchestra comes to a halt to support Bjork's part around the two-minute mark. One part which doesn't fit my fancy, though, is the last part where a modified voice comes in and repeatedly speaks, "I'll f*ck you till you love me," as if it's playing off an old recording camera from the 2000s – that ruins my score a little.
40. Century - Esdeekid (7.5/10)
Previous review:
Esdeekid goes for the same appeal just a couple of weeks after his success, and I think he pulls it off better in this... Or maybe I just got used to his accent rapping.
Second listen:
Coming in at 1:50, this is a much stronger follow-up for Esdeekid; the beat feels like life is rushing through it in every moment with its intense, slightly darker-sounding rap. I'm impressed.
22. A Couple Minutes - Olivia Dean (8.1/10)
I was surprised by Olivia's US chart run going as large as it did… and now we're getting an even bigger chart?! Wow, she's smashing it with this run! Onto this, and it's honestly even better than "Man I Need" (by far). I just love the warm soul she adds to tracks; it gives a comforting feeling throughout the whole song like a warm hug, especially seeing that Dean seems to have a passion for the well-executed smooth R&B sound. Oh, and I also love the violin opening; I wish that was more throughout the whole track!
