As if we ever had a doubt! After releasing his new single just two days ago, Ed Sheeran's 'Azizam' has gone straight to Number 1. This ends Doechii's three week streak at the top spot with the TikTok-viral song, 'Anxiety', and makes Ed the artist with the most Number 1s on the EE Official Big Top 40 by an even bigger stretch!
On Friday, Ed Sheeran brought his big pink 'Azizam' tour bus to Big Top 40 HQ in London's Leicester Square, speaking to both Capital and Heart about his new single, upcoming new album and much more.
Elsewhere in the charts, we have had 4 new entries from artists including Miley Cyrus, Wet Leg and of course our biggest new entry, our brand-new Number 1 from Ed Sheeran.
'twilight zone' from Ariana Grande's latest album 'eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days ahead' went up by a massive 11 places since it entered the chart last week, taking it into our Top 10 while 'warm', a track from the same album, went up by 10 places to Number 29.
Will Manning had company this week, welcoming Alex Warren into the studio to catch up and find out where 'Ordinary' placed in the charts. In their chat, Alex revealed this week's Number 3 wasn't destined to be released as a single, but through some teasing on socials and huge fan reactions, the label said yes - and aren't we glad they did.
Will Doechii reclaim the top spot next week and get a fourth week at Number 1, or is Ed Sheeran's 'Azizam' keeping the top spot warm for a while?
