Gracie Abrams Notches a Fifth Week at No. 1 on U.K. Singles Chart


Despite stiff competition from a pair of festive classics, Gracie Abrams’ breakout single “That’s So True” has landed a fifth week at No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart.

Earlier this week, Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” – which was recently remixed for its 40th anniversary – was on course to take No. 1 following a physical release before Abrams’ strong streaming numbers secured her another week at the top of the charts. “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” eventually finished at No. 8.


Similarly, Wham!’s “Last Christmas” made a strong attempt to dethrone Abrams, with the group’s song rising six places last week to land at No. 2. First released in 1984, the song peaked at No. 2 behind “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” upon release, but finally earned a No. 1 placing several decades later in 2021.


There are more festive classics in the top 10 this week, with Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (5), Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (6), Ed Sheeran and Elton John’s “Merry Christmas” (9) and Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (10) all making appearances.


The movie adaptation of the musical Wicked continues to enchant, with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s version of “Defying Gravity” finishing at No. 7 for a second consecutive week, while “What Is This Feeling?” ends the week at No. 16.


Rising British artist Lola Young has achieved her first top 40 placing with her single “Messy,” which ends the week at a new peak of No. 35. Speaking to Billboard U.K., she discussed the success of the single and why the message of self-acceptance had resonated with fans. “For a long time, I wanted to represent this ideal of Westernized beauty – but then I realized I’m not that,” Young said. “I now choose to give realness and truth. I’ve got a bit of a belly out, I f–cking swear a bunch and I have fun. And that’s what people are resonating with.”
