In a spectacular display of musical staying power, Vermont-born singer-songwriter Noah Kahan continues to hold the crown on the UK Official Singles Chart, maintaining his Number 1 position for an impressive fourth consecutive week with the chart-topping hit “Stick Season”.
The chart dominance of “Stick Season” is further solidified by its status as the most-streamed track, amassing a staggering 8.7 million streams in the UK. Kahan’s ability to captivate audiences and sustain this level of popularity speaks volumes about the enduring appeal of his music.
Adding to Kahan’s triumph is the release of his collaboration with Sam Fender, titled “Homesick”, which enters the charts at an impressive Number 5. This dynamic duet not only secures a spot in the Top 10 but also marks the second such achievement for both artists in the UK.
The success of “Homesick” has a ripple effect, catapulting Sam Fender’s previous hit, “Seventeen Going Under”, back into the Top 40 at Number 32. Originally peaking at Number 3 in 2022, this resurgence underscores the lasting impact of Fender’s musical releases and proves that it’s still a jam, today, years later.
Meanwhile, Sophie Ellis-Bextor experiences a resurgence as “Murder on the Dancefloor” surges to a re-peak at Number 2. The enduring popularity of this 2001 classic reinforces the notion that the film Saltburn is still taking over. Additionally, Emerald Fennell’s gothic thriller film has received multiple BAFTA nominations, and we expect more accolades will be on their way.
Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten” also rides the nostalgia vibes, climbing five spots to Number 13. The 2004 pop classic continues its renewed relevance thanks to its inclusion in the rom-com Anyone But You, leaving fans to wonder if it will triumphantly return to the Top 10 in the coming week.
As Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” continues to reign supreme, the UK Official Singles Chart remains a dynamic landscape, showcasing the enduring impact of both new releases and timeless classics. Music fans can look forward to the exciting developments shaping the charts in the weeks to come. You can view the full chart on the Official Charts Company website.
