The 29-year-old singer-songwriter dethroned none other than Beyoncé after her month-long streak at the top with the undeniable dance anthem, 'BREAK MY SOUL'.
Number 2 goes to Kate Bush with the pop culture phenomenon that is 'Running Up That Hill (Deal With God), thanks to the viral Stranger Things 4 scene. The 1985 song from the British icon has remained in the Top 10 since its renaissance began in June.
